The Way It Is

this is the way it is- fool sit yo ass down nobody told you to run off nobody told you to go no where! you gotta take it all in take it, sitting on this street listen to that train rumbling up top look at those chips and cracks everywhere this yo city- fool Come on. Why you crying? It ain't so bad yet. There ain't no ganstas claiming their turf with their o-zone killing bottles pick yo chin up have some pride this is yo town and you gotta keep living it
