Ishues - Higher Powers lyrics

[Chorus] We plot and we plan, but everything's controlled by higher powers No matter how much you hate it, its evident and its blatant We plot and we plan, but everything's controlled by higher powers No matter if you don't like it, there ain't no way you can fight it [Verse 1] There ain't no way that you know what you gon' be doing day to day You might get laid with strays, from some beef that was down the way And you had nothing to do with it, and now you leaking fluids kid Your arm blown out the socket, doctor telling you you losing it Confusing it with movies, they still refuse to believe it Till the truck jackknifes in front of you while you speeding and you can't weave it Now you out of luck and out of choices, only seconds left You gasp, but everything happens too fast to catch a second breath Or a mother's life ambition, for her son to go to college Shattered by a nameless bullet in a act of random violence Perpetrated by his childhood friend he used to go outside with Now he lay silent with a hole in his chest, and open eyelids A blowout on a highway can probably make you late But a blowout on a icy bridge can have you and your kids in the lake And your family at your wake, praying over your casket His son didn't make that trip, so I guess hes a lucky ba*tard [Chorus] We plot and we plan, but everything's controlled by higher powers No matter how much you hate it, its evident and its blatant We plot and we plan, but everything's controlled by higher powers No matter if you don't like it, there ain't no way you can fight it We plot and we plan, but everything's controlled by higher powers Just as sure as the seasons change, everything happens for a reason We plot and we plan, but everything's controlled by higher powers Any second your life could change, if its sunny you might get rain [Verse 2] There ain't no way around the fact, whether you white or brown or black That any moment, any second, any day could be your last I knew this cat thats very talented in basketball, in fact He could have went to any college in the nation on his stats Who would have known that after practice, in the gym next to the track That he would suddenly collapse and perish from a heart attack Or a healthy child that was born through the pain of maternal labor To pa** away in his sleep in his bed, three days later And there ain't no explanation, even after investigation God I guess wanted to keep him away from Satan's temptations So he called him back, whats wrong with that? We won't see him tomorrow Though we know hes in a better place we still live with the sorrow People ask me how I'm feeling, what I'm doing, I'm chillin' But before I say what I'ma do I tell em, "God willin'" Cause I never know whats gonna happen, one day you're here And the next day you're gone, and the cycle just keeps moving along [Chorus] We plot and we plan, but everything's controlled by higher powers No matter how much you hate it, its evident and its blatant We plot and we plan, but everything's controlled by higher powers No matter if you don't like it, there ain't no way you can fight it We plot and we plan, but everything's controlled by higher powers Just as sure as the seasons change, everything happens for a reason We plot and we plan, but everything's controlled by higher powers Any second your life could change, if its sunny you might get rain [Verse 3] Got off the bus with smiling faces, cause school was really live today And now I'm trying to change my clothes so I can go outside and play I went inside, my mom is heated, cause when she's mad, she don't smirk I told a joke, she asked me if I brought home any homework I said "Naw, its Friday, and after school its my day And I want to go outside and spend the rest of it my way" She said, not before you take out the trash and sweep the floor I thought that wasn't fair cause that's one of my sister's chores I'm sorta heated, cause I'm trying to get with my mans Everything was set, my mom was the only wrench in my plans We was going to the river today, steal boats and ride em I jumped on my bike as quick as I can, to try to find em I'm all pissed off at my moms, its about 5:21 By the time I make it down there I'm gonna miss all the fun When I finally got there, its like 6 and a quarter Shocked, as I watched the cops drag my friends' bodies out of the water [Chorus] We plot and we plan, but everything's controlled by higher powers No matter how much you hate it, its evident and its blatant We plot and we plan, but everything's controlled by higher powers No matter if you don't like it, there ain't no way you can fight it We plot and we plan, but everything's controlled by higher powers Just as sure as the seasons change, everything happens for a reason We plot and we plan, but everything's controlled by higher powers Any second your life could change, if its sunny you might get rain
