[Hook]
Let me tell you how it is (Let me tell you how it is)
Let me tell you how it go (Let me tell you how it go)
One time for the fly gal putting in her heart when they take away her soul (Take away her soul)
Let me tell you how it is (Let me tell you how it is)
Let me tell you how it go (Let me tell you how it go)
One time for the fly gal putting in her heart when they take away her soul (Take away her soul)
Man, this sh** is so real (Man, this sh** is so real)
Man, this sh** is so real (Man, this sh** is so real)
Let me tell you how it is
Let me tell you how it go
Let me tell you how I feel
Let me tell you how it is
Let me tell you how it go (Go)
One time for the fly gal putting in her heart when they take away her soul (Take away her soul)
[Verse 1]
Man, this sh** is so real
What she's seen
Only fifteen, from the streets, but you know she praying harder every week
Always let down, you can hear the tone when she speaks
Never sport a frown shown like the image's being weak
She take it, day by day getting wasted
Numbing all the pain from the bullsh**, never felt love from a soul cos they always on that fake sh**
Man, why they fronting?
Acting like this sh** don't stink
I know I ain't perfect, but my soul do speak
Man, if you only knew how she felt on the night she needed help
Pinned down, but ain't no one hear her scream
Black dark room, black dark room
Why'd you have to consume, man why'd you have to do it?
Thought she was the one that I loved, now I'm looking in the mirror feeling stupid
Man, you a felon
You a liar and a b**h
How the f** you take advantage of chick?
Man, you a f**ing p**y
I was only fifteen oh you know, but you still put it in me
Now I don't trust the world, I don't trust the world
Feeling all alone in a room, now she about to hurl
Yo she about to hurl cos she found out she was pregnant with his girl
[Hook]
Let me tell you how it is (Let me tell you how it is)
Let me tell you how it go (Let me tell you how it go)
One time for the fly gal putting in her heart when they take away her soul (Take away her soul)
Let me tell you how it is (Let me tell you how it is)
Let me tell you how it go (Let me tell you how it go)
One time for the fly gal putting in her heart when they take away her soul (Take away her soul)
Man, this sh** is so real (Man, this sh** is so real)
Man, this sh** is so real (Man, this sh** is so real)
Let me tell you how it is
Let me tell you how it go
Let me tell you how I feel
Let me tell you how it is (Let me tell you how it is)
Let me tell you how it go
One time for the fly gal putting in her heart when they take away her soul (Take away her soul)
[Verse 2]
Let me tell you how it is
Let me tell you how I feel
From the city where the shots rang out, but I pray for my homies on the real
And I know that sh** gets hard, cos I'm still right here
I'm a grown a** man, but I ain't never been afraid to drop tears
So let me tell you how it is
And let me tell you how it go
Let me tell you how it go cos I know how it is, when they all turn they back and you feel so alone
I was like fifteen, doing big things
Your boy had a big dream
