Jelly Roll, Struggle Jennings - Be That Way lyrics

Lookin' out the window starin' at the sky
Happens for a reason but
What's the reason why
It ain't supposed to be that way
It ain't supposed to be that way
Weather to the storm lightnin' in the thunder
Did I take the wrong road
I didn't see another
It ain't supposed to be that way, uh uh
It ain't supposed to be that way, Struggle

Collect call from department of correction
Looking out the window but I
See a clear reflection did I take the wrong
Direction at the intersection
Hear the whispers that I'm different
Guess it's all perception
Lessons that I learned worth
The sacrifices made
Dues that I paid paved the way to better days
Now dreams comin' true and this
Bed that I lay but I slay so I pray that
They stay out of my way
No hatred in my heart for the
Friends that up and split
Glass half full, Don Julio and guilt
My decisions crumbled walls in the
House that I built
Baptized in the puddle can't
Cry over spilled milk

Lookin' out the window starin' at the sky
Happens for a reason but
What's the reason why
It ain't supposed to be that way
It ain't supposed to be that way
Weather to the storm lightnin' in the thunder
Did I take the wrong road
I didn't see another
It ain't supposed to be that way
It ain't supposed to be that way

My big brother told me go and get it
My mama told me Ramen noodles
And ketchup equals spaghetti
I jumped off the porch when I was
Young and thought I was ready
Put the world on my shoulders
Pretendin' it wasn't heavy
Hear the rumble of the thunder I swear
To God I feel the lightnin'
I've seen it all from closed
Caskets to sealed indictments
The preacher man said heavens real
And I'm still invited
But meanwhile I still feel
This guilt inside me
Take a moment to relax, just to sit back
Even on the days that is
Sunny my city's pitch black
Just to go get the paper
Willin' to pitch a pack
Is there a heaven for people
That really need that

Lookin' out the window starin' at the sky
Happens for a reason but
What's the reason why
It ain't supposed to be that way
It ain't supposed to be that way
Weather to the storm lightnin' in the thunder
Did I take the wrong road
I didn't see another
It ain't supposed to be that way
It ain't supposed to be that way

Uh, I came home with my mind right
Feeling stable but now Mondo's gone now
Tata's been disabled
Half the homies back in prison
Other half just livin'
Guess I had a different vision
That we all be chilin'
Life moves on and takes us different ways
We all floatin' in this ocean
Head above the waves
I wanna see your face in
More than just in funerals
Life is a hard pill to
Swallow homie but is true

Lookin' out the window starin' at the sky
Happens for a reason but
What's the reason why
It ain't supposed to be that way
It ain't supposed to be that way
Weather to the storm lightnin' in the thunder
Did I take the wrong road
I didn't see another
It ain't supposed to be that way
It ain't supposed to be that way
