The Way It Is Video (MV)

This song goes out to all my people in the struggle
If you've ever been homeless and hungry
And nobody would help you
Just know that you're not alone
Because I know what it feels like
To be looked at like you're a nobody
Or like your not good enough
And they think they're better than you
I guess that's just the way it is
I guess that's just the way it is
Just the way it is
I guess that's just the way it is
I guess that's just the way it is
Just the way it is
I guess that's just the way it is
I guess that's just the way it is
Just the way it is
I guess that's just the way it is
I guess that's just the way it is
As I sit here
With this pen and this pad
Thinking about some things
That I've been through
In the past
We never did have any cash
But im glad
And I thank God
For the little bit that we had
I thank God for my mom and dad
They stuck with us
Through all the hard times we had
When I was doing bad
They would always share
And when I think
They wouldn't make it
They was always there
When times was real tight
Sometimes I would I still write
With no lights on
Because we didn't pay the bills right
Nights filled with chilled bites
I feel like a I'll life
With pipe dreams and steel pipes
When you're brought up
In the ghetto
That's the struggle you feel
Trying to let you know
That the struggle is real
When you're brought up
In the ghetto
That's the struggle you feel
Trying to let you know
That the struggle is real
That's just the way it is
I guess that's just the way it is
I guess that's just the way it is
Just the way it is
I guess that's just the way it is
I guess that's just the way it is
Just the way it is
I guess that's just the way it is
I guess that's just the way it is
Just the way it is
I guess that's just the way it is
I guess that's just the way it is
Sometimes I don't feel
A real motivation to rhyme
And it's like forget it
With this rapping
No more wasting my time
Im not a quitter but it's bitter
When your tasting a lime
Sometimes you got to read
In between the space and the line
Inside that deep dark place
In your mind
Saying will you give up
Or will you discover greatness inside
So many obstacles impossible odds
That's stacked on top of you
Just keep on pushing
That's all that I can do
Hoping one day that it all pays off
That's why I'm always working hard
With no days off
Because if you want to play the boss
Then you got to pay the cost
That's why I'm always in the kitchen
With that hot tomato sauce
I got to get it
I guess that's just the way it is
I guess that's just the way it is
Just the way it is
I guess that's just the way it is
I guess that's just the way it is
Just the way it is
I guess that's just the way it is
I guess that's just the way it is
Just the way it is
I guess that's just the way it is
I guess that's just the way it is
If you're feeling
Down in the dumps right now
Or like the walls are caving in on you
Just take a look around you
And try to appreciate
What you do have
And just know
That it doesn't rain everyday
Tomorrow is full of opportunity
So go seize the moment
I believe in you
That's the way it is
