[00:01.82]Lyrics by:Jamal Reid
[00:10.67]Never found my place in the crowd
[00:12.16]So I stay from the crowd
[00:13.34]They laughed at me then but look at they faces right now
[00:16.02]Jigga gave me the blueprint I been tracing it out
[00:18.74]Never chasing the clout I'm just embracin' my route
[00:21.41]Never catch me worshipping false idols never
[00:23.62]How you flexin' in a rental with no car title
[00:26.20]And when it come to street credit you got a low fico
[00:28.91]But you know I'm a smooth criminal like the goat Michael
[00:31.66]Really my psyche like Michael myers my flow psycho
[00:34.45]If your intentions ain't genuine I just don't like you nah
[00:37.13]Who said I ain't good in the hood
[00:38.64]I just stroll right through
[00:39.80]F**k what you heard n***as know that I been cold like flu
[00:42.48]So no comparisons I'm cold
[00:43.81]'Cause I'm the rarest one
[00:45.24]I got respect for some n***as I just ain't scared of none
[00:47.97]Why every time when they need some help
[00:49.50]I be there for them huh
[00:50.72]But every time when the tables turn I ain't hearin' nothin' hmm
[00:53.89]That's just how it is
[00:55.92]That's just how it is uh
[00:58.01]That's just how it is
[00:59.38]That's just how it is
[01:01.06]Yeah that's just how it is yeah
[01:03.43]That's just how it is
[01:04.79]That's just how it is
[01:06.45]Man that's just how it is uh

[01:11.93]Yeah that's just how it is just how it is

[01:16.45]Police pull me over and ask me why I look nervous
[01:18.87]What you mean
[01:19.39]It's bloody murder ain't here to protect or serve us uh
[01:22.17]You know the narrative
[01:23.27]Life might be more fair if I had fairer skin
[01:26.17]That's just the way it is d**n
[01:27.54]And we just can't pretend
[01:28.80]You turn a blind eye on your people
[01:30.32]That's a heavy sin word
[01:31.83]See I could give a f**k about the bread you spend
[01:34.19]F**k it
[01:34.56]How you claimin' a culture that you don't represent
[01:37.07]Man that's some sucker s**t sucker
[01:38.65]I was up then I was down
[01:39.86]But now I'm up again now I'm up
[01:41.31]Now the ones that turned they back they showin' love again
[01:43.91]People see me asking me where's such and such and them
[01:46.55]Don't bring them n***as up around me I don't f**k with them
[01:49.02]I cut 'em off it's permanent cut 'em
[01:50.82]And if you claim I did you dirty you deserved the s**t
[01:53.38]Guilty until proven innocent's what the verdict is
[01:55.97]When you from the hood
[01:56.95]They don't treat you like the suburban kids but
[01:59.31]That's just how it is
