[Verse 1]
Been through some things, I gotta talk about it
Figured I'd keep it to myself but I can't sleep without it
My youngin's caught up, always in some drama
The sad part is we stuck on stupid blaming karma
The dream gone, daddy too
The lifelong story, call it the Black Boy Blues
Yeah, I guess I got the new route
But everybody 'round me either been through hell or the drought
Why not? I gotta stunt because I weathered the storm
We came through in '09, ever since we was on
Remember vivid, we was in it, Drake was spitting The Calm
Had every girl thinking 'bout how she was So Far Gone
Yes Lord, was hungry then, still starving now
n***as plotting on the team, it's like they tryna die
Was hungry then, God made a meal
And when I make my first she said to tell her
[Bridge: Malik Ninety Five (Dasiaa)]
Said I know (You got me going crazy)
Said I know (Everything about you is crazy)
That things would always be this way (You always stayed down for me)
That things would always be this way (Even when I feel like everyone hates me)
Said I know (And I know this is crazy)
Said I know (Baby I know that it's crazy)
That things would always be this way (But ima always be here for you no matter what you been through)
[Hook]
This the way of the world (4x)
[Verse 2]
Coming down with the same clique
Living dangerous, you know how this game get
We on the grind until it makes sense
Track record, I'm back reppin', it's all on me
Oh yeah these n***as hating from the side, never on my team
On the beam, said he ridin' with the lean
As if you didn't know how I'm rolling
Tryna get pockets swollen
We needed life, so get it right, tryna stay on it
Been on the creep like TLC
The game flipped on axis, backwards
[?] tryna be a young G
Check the records, wreckin' all the time
Daps and pounds when I'm out, city is mine
Kicking rhymes, I drink wild
Couple tucked for a rainy day
Remember back I thought that rap would take the pain away
On some sh**, really it just made me reflect
Tryna stay into the game, always skate with the set
They talking 'bout them beats, yeah you know we coming correct
Cause nowadays we getting made, about way of the steps
There's levels all to the game, make sure you know your worth
Bullsh** come with the fame, but checks come on the first
[Bridge: Malik Ninety Five (Dasiaa)]
Said I know (You got me going crazy)
Said I know (Everything about you is crazy)
That things would always be this way (You always stayed down for me)
That things would always be this way (Even when I feel like everyone hates me)
Said I know (And I know this is crazy)
Said I know (Baby I know that it's crazy)
That things would always be this way (But Ima always be here for you no matter what you been through)

This the way of the world (4x)
[Outro: Dasiaa]
It's the way of the world
I gotta cope with the pain
And I can't seem to find my way out
My life revolves like a twirl
I gotta find my lane
And there's no holding me back now
I've gotta talk things out
Rethink my life somehow
And find out where I'm supposed to be
Yes I know it's me
I know, that I am on my own
And I am in my zone
To perfect and create on my wrongs and mistakes
The decision that it's so wrong
Don't wanna be alone, don't wanna be at home (2x)
