that’s the way it is, it’s not set in stone,
it’s flesh and bone, testin your own…
limit, it’s go get it, it’s did it wrong
and lessorn learned, steppin stoned it, owned it, gettin grown until i’m gone.
that’s the way it is, it aint black and white,
it’s black and blue, it’s red white, it’s black and tan
fantasy, green is the new black, back again,
back up on the wall, it’s new borns and afterlifes
this is the way it is, it aint the way it was,
who to thank, who to blame, who to teach how to aim,
who to praise, and how to make it sustain,
how to maintain, how to change, how to change it
this is the way it is, it aint the way it was
this is the way it is, it aint black and white,
this is the way it is, it aint set in stone
this is the way it is, it aint set in stone
