How It Goes

(album: Ignorance Is Bliss - 2023)

"The number you have called is no longer in service..."
Aye will we ever stop nigga?
When?
When?
Yeah
When
Yeah
Yes
Told 'em we
Told 'em we

Told 'em we cookin again
Put down the phone and I pick up a pen
I'm too original can't do the trends
See what I see through my beautiful lense
I'm tapping in I found my second wind
Play my position the post I defend
Feeling like I'm finna live forever
Only getting better
I survived the storms and all the fucked up weather
It's a fact
I can recall way way back then tryna maintain with the scraps
Working them long days where the sun rays used to fade off into black
It was a curse
I made it work
All of this shit I rehearsed
I want it more than I could've articulated man it literally hurt

I was just motivated by the life that I wanted to live dawg
And if you wanna go get it my nigga just break in the back door
Stick to your vision don't hesitate
Paint you a picture to find the way
You gotta maintain 'til you blow up
Yeah that's just how it go when your down and they don't believe
That's just how it go when your lost tryna set your feet
It's how it goes
That's just how it goes
That's just how it goes
That's just how it goes
That's just how it is when it work
Is when it work
Build 'til it burst
Build 'til it burst
That's just the way that it goes
That's just the way that it goes
That's just the way that it gooes
That's just the way that it goooooes

Y'all fell in love with the money (money)
Selling your soul for a knick-knack
No we don't throw in the towel (towel)
We spin around for the getback
I said it's evident
Staying persistent yeah that's the prerequisite
I operate even within a deficit
Talk to the Gods I know where the blessing is
Run with the Exodus show 'em the exit
Cause they never got what the message is
Meaning they killing the messengers
I'm not insane I'm a pessimist
Gather my thoughts I'm collecting 'em
Changing my ways I'm correcting 'em
Killing my ego dissecting them
I couldn't run with the rest of 'em
Stand on my own toe to toe with the best of 'em

I was just motivated by the life that I wanted to live dawg
And if you wanna go get it my nigga just break in the back door
Stick to your vision don't hesitate
Paint you a picture to find the way
You gotta maintain 'til you blow up
Yeah that's just how it go when your down and they don't believe
That's just how it go when your lost tryna set your feet
It's how it goes
That's just how it goes
That's just how it goes
That's just how it goes
That's just how it is when it work
Is when it work
Build 'til it burst
Build 'til it burst
That's just the way that it goes
That's just the way that it goes
That's just the way that it gooes
That's just the way that it goooooes
