It's What It Is

IT’S WHAT IT IS … If every day you sleep in church; you may not know God You are not necessarily spiritual; but you are pious If you’ve grade 99.9%, you’re not most educated; but you’ve first class You are what you are, and it’s what it is When she exhibits temperance, then she is neither lustful nor concupiscent When she’s apparently courageous, she’s neither hotheaded nor irascible When she adds reason in action, oh yes she be prudent She is what she is, and it’s what it is Because he drives he is a driver And in so far as he plays the flute, ‘flutist’ captures him Because he plays well the inflated round leather, dub him a footballer For that is what he is, and it’s what it is Assuming I be easily deceived and very unintelligent; am foolish and simpleton What if I be a schmuck or schnook, pity me for I am stupid! Honest description depicts reality; but malevolent eulogies do not They give either sheer flattery or mere insults; all in all, it is what it is Yes! You’re good, because you are You’re bad, just because you really are Always, words may not express aptly But come what may, it’s what it is!
