lyrics

Verse 1
I seen em come
And I seen em go
I seen the highs and lows
And then I learned to let it go
The righteous don’t always win you know
Life ain’t fair they say
But then they run off on a vacay

I push the buttons and I pull the knobs
Follow all the rules
Cause my mama said that’s how it goes
But now l feel like I’ve been shorted
Without a warning
It sucks so bad, you know

Chorus
Cuz that’s the way it is
It’s just the way it is

Verse 2
I barely make enough to my bills
Yeah this shit is real
They got me caught up in the rat race
My neighbor bought himself a new boat
He’s pretty carefree
And how I wish I was in his place

But you’re not supposed to covet
And I still got my pride
But man I look around wondering if I will ever get a shot instead of sitting, crying bout

Chorus
That’s the way it is
It’s just the way it is
