Meccah Dawn, Lil Animus - The Way It Is lyrics

When it's over with, said and done
My boys grown men and my grandma's is one
I wanna look back on my life like, yo
I did that right even though, at times
I ain't have the strength to fight
Layin' in my bed, crying tears at night
All alone, not a friend in sight
It's hard to face tomorrow when
You got no hope
Just a dream and some shit you wrote
Head in the sand, tryna bury the pain
Married the game, I hate it
But I love it the same
'Cause in my heart are hearts
I know that this the reason I came
It's deeper than niggas screamin' my name
When I'm on stage
More personal than business
More than Twitter mentions
A million plus listeners, man
I'm tryna make a difference
And right my life so I write my life
It's everything I came to be
Only thing I wanna do
But what difference do it make if
Ya'll can't see through to me?
I'm just tryna make this dream a reality
(Sometimes that ain't the way that shit goes)
I'm goin' hard out here
Man it's hard out here
Blood, sweat, tears, is that all y'all hear?
Damn, I'm tryna do something bigger than me
(Sometimes that ain't the way that shit goes)

Everybody want fortune and fame
But extortions of addicts change our
Way to portions you gain
So I stay in my lane
These inner voices insane
And in the midst of the storm
I start to question the rain like why?
Even when I was a kid
I had to face adversity over and over again
God, why hate my reflection?
We don't see eye to eye
Sometimes, don't want to look too deep
Scared what I might find
What I'm gon' do when the
Whole world watchin' me though?
Vulnerable, 'cause now the whole
World watchin' me grow
Those picture-perfect cameras just test me
Take me as I am or let me be
No point in living if I can't be free
Look at me, I'm tryna to let you see
I'm trying to let you in
Door's open, and all I got is this pen
It's everything I came to be
Only thing I wanna do
But what difference do it make if
Ya'll can't see through to me
I'm just tryna make this dream a reality
(Sometimes that ain't the way that shit goes)
I'm goin' hard out here
Man it's hard out here
Blood, sweat, tears, is that all y'all hear?
Damn, I'm tryna do something bigger than me
(Sometimes that ain't the way that shit goes)

Ohh, uh uh, uh uh, uh huh, ohh
Sometimes that ain't the way that shit goes
Ohh, uh uh, uh huh, uh huh, ohh
Sometimes that ain't the way that shit goes
