It Is What It Is

Tryna to make a dollar out of fifteen cent
Way past due on last month's rent
Left a message on the telephone
Asking if I could get a loan
Went to go out with a couple friends
Then my debit card declined again
I'm ashamed of this life I live
But then again it is what it is

Tryna reach the goal line like Sony Michel
So I can say everything is quite well
Day to day I chase after the dough
Hoping to make a 100k by age 24
I tend to live by my words
I pave the way so don't add a curve
And if you heard I put in all the work
So I'm spending life getting what I deserve
I don't trap so don't cramp my style
I do laugh so don't be afraid to smile
Cause we know the struggle is real
Gotta stick together just to play the field
If you not living life then you're getting paid
And if you're not getting paid, you just lie awake
Trying to figure out how you gonna eat today
While trying not to spend all of what you made

Tryna make a dollar out of fifteen cents
Way past due on last months rent
Left a message on the telephone
Asking if I could get a loan
Went to go out with a couple friends
Then my debit card declined again
I'm ashamed of this life I live
But then again it is what it is

They lookin at blue strips
While I'm looking for a way to stay relevant
Life's a game a chess so you gotta make a move
Tryna show the world that this boy can't lose
But still I got much to prove
Momma said always walk in your own shoes
More money more problems
So don't worry bout a dollar
Cause your soul is worth more than that very piece of Prada
That buy for your baby mama
Who only gives you drama
And you try to stay at peace
Like you're Dalai Lama
But remember that things come to an end
And you'll find yourself right where you started again
And that ice on your neck took your whole check
And you making ends meet just to pay rent
So if you really wanna go ahead and be blessed
Put that money in the bank to relieve stress

Tryna to make a dollar out of fifteen cents
Way past due on last months rent
Left a message on the telephone
Asking if I could get a loan
Went to go out with a couple friends
Then my debit card declined again
I'm ashamed of this life I live
But then again it is what it is
