Jaden Gray - Way It Is lyrics

[Hook] That's just the way it is Jaden That's just the way it is (x2) [Verse 1] I Pray that my allegiance To the pen can stop the grievance Of a young man that's trying in vain to escape his demons Don't wanna sell cane with no name And I'm not able all these brothers k**ing brothers millennia old fables Thought it came right out of genesis My only nemesis is me Problems I put forth I stuff I gotta beat And I gotta be better than All these lame MC's The pen or penitentiary May you pardon me I'm doing a little soul searching My whole head hurting 'Cuz I feel like my whole life just ain't all right I look at my ceiling and pray thru the night And write a few rhymes to hurry up and past time I don't understand I don't get it no not all I'm tryna live my life right and ride out and ball But all I'm faced with is numerous stalls And people crapping on my dreams like taking a god damn adderall I'm god blessed I know that for a fact 'Cuz babies starving and people dying up in Iraq And people have to hustle hard just to support they fam When my only job at home is throwing away the trash Damn I think I take this life for granted I gotta make the most I gotta go take advantage We all really lost and honestly we is damaged Im just tryna give support honestly what my plan is [Verse 2] Feeling we at fault always stressing bout tomorrow Then we always end up pa**ing up today Here I pray I that I never fall prey to the land of unruly Grab a toolie 'cuz all real (uh) got'em toolie Get some thots 'cuz real (uh) a have some thots And lose track of time real (uh) don't have a watch Never watching they lives 'til they go look at the clock And they 40 with no job struggling selling rocks Uh That's not me that's not me im Jaden Gray 14 from the suburbs tryna go find my place Respect the grind I do respect the hustle But I ain't tryna live life that's like Jamarcus Russell Waste of talent waste of potential waste of it all I'd rather take god blessings and follow his call
