Never found my place in the crowd, so I stay from the crowd
They laughed at me then, but look at they faces right now
Jigga gave me the blueprint, I been tracing it out
Never chasing the clout, Im just embracin my route
Never catch me worshipping false idols (Never)
How you flexin in a rental with no car title?
And when it come to street credit, you got a low FICO
But you know Im a smooth criminal like the G.O.A.T. Michael
Really, my psyche like Michael Myers, my flow psycho
If your intentions aint genuine, I just dont like you (Nah)
Who said I aint good in the hood? I just stroll right through
**** what you heard, niggas know that I been cold like flu
So no comparisons (Im cold)
Cause Im the rarest one
I got respect for some niggas, I just aint scared of none
Why every time when they need some help, I be there for them? (Huh?)
But every time when the tables turn, I aint hearin nothin? Hmm
Thats just how it is
Thats just how it is (Uh)
Thats just how it is
Thats just how it is
Yeah, thats just how it is (Yeah)
Thats just how it is
Thats just how it is
Man, thats just how it is (Uh)
Thats just how it is
Thats just how it is
Yeah, thats just how it is (Yeah, thats just how it is)
Thats just how it is
Police pull me over and ask me why I look nervous (What you mean ?)
Its bloody murder, aint here to protector serve us, uh
You know the narrative
Life might be more fair if I had fairer skin
Thats just the way it is (Damn)
And we just cant pretend
You turn a blind eye on your people, thats a heavy sin (Word)
See, I could give a **** about the bread you spend (**** it)
How you claimin a culture that you dont represent?
Man, thats some sucker shit (Sucker)
I was up, then I was down, but now Im up again (Now Im up)
Now the ones that turned they back, they showin love again
People see me, asking me, 'Wheres such and such and them?'
Dont bring them niggas up around me, I dont **** with them
I cut em off, its permanent ( Cut em)
And if you claim I did you dirty, you deserved the shit
Guilty until proven innocents what the verdict is
When you from the hood, they dont treat you like the suburban kids, but
Thats just how it is
Thats just how it is (Uh)
Thats just how it is
Thats just how it is
Yeah, thats just how it is (Yeah)
Thats just how it is
Thats just how it is
Man, thats just how it is (Uh)
Thats just how it is
Thats just how it is
Yeah, thats just how it is (Yeah, thats just how it is)
Thats just how it is
