(Hook)Gave it all for my dreams , and I'm only 16 but you know that's just the way things go, see the blood in my eyes , only eating to survive and you know that's just the way things go, said if I could do it right , make the best of my time and you know that's just the way things go, it's just me myself and I , tryna make it through the night and you know that's just the way things go It's the way things go , that's the way things go , it's just me myself and I tryna make it through the night and you know that's just the way things go (Verse 1) See the blood in my eyes, the blood in my pen I'm just writing to survive so we don't have to stress again, listen this ain't just a dream to me, it's a way of life that goes beyond the casualty , out of predicament , let them know what I consist, let em know that i can be the opposite of what they see, more than just a teen but listen to the wisdom coming through my teeth, with enough facts to even make an atheist believeBut I ain't here to preach I'm here to speak, On behalf of what I think , take a sip don't ever drink , cuz time'll fly within a blink (Hook) (Verse 2) That's the way it goes , that's the way it plays , it's only a matter of time before they know the name, you can hate me now , but I will never change , for attention and fame nah that's over played, outta date But I'm done with the games , it's all up for now case they wanna toe for the fame , I can never ease up I got too much in stake, but if they tryna brawl for it I got an army of faith, me and my cousin got each other shared this dream since we were younger, if one does better we still going up together, it's just how it goes , blood only made us closer but the dream made us stronger that's just how it goes (Hook)
