Jaden Gray - Way It Is

That's just the way it is Jaden
That's just the way it is
(x2)

I Pray that my allegiance
To the pen can stop the grievance
Of a young man that’s trying in vain to escape his demons
Don’t wanna sell cane with no name
And I'm not able all these brothers
Killing brothers millennia old fables
Thought it came right out of genesis
My only nemesis is me
Problems I put forth I stuff I gotta beat
And I gotta be better than
All these lame MC's
The pen or penitentiary
May you pardon me
I'm doing a little soul searching
My whole head hurting
'Cuz I feel like my whole life just ain't all right
I look at my ceiling and pray thru the night
And write a few rhymes to hurry up and past time
I don’t understand I don’t get it no not all
I'm tryna live my life right and ride out and ball
But all I'm faced with is numerous stalls
And people crapping on my dreams
Like taking a god damn adderall
I'm god blessed I know that for a fact
'Cuz babies starving and people dying up in Iraq
And people have to hustle hard just to support they fam
When my only job at home is throwing away the trash
Damn I think I take this life for granted
I gotta make the most I gotta go take advantage
We all really lost and honestly we is damaged
Im just tryna give support honestly what my plan is

Feeling we at fault always stressing bout tomorrow
Then we always end up passing up today
Here I pray I that I never fall prey to the land of unruly
Grab a toolie 'cuz all real (uh) got’em toolie
Get some thots 'cuz real (uh) a have some thots
And lose track of time real (uh) don’t have a watch
Never watching they lives 'til they go look at the clock
And they 40 with no job struggling selling rocks
Uh That’s not me that’s not me im Jaden Gray
14 from the suburbs tryna go find my place
Respect the grind I do respect the hustle
But I ain't tryna live life that’s like Jamarcus Russell
Waste of talent waste of potential waste of it all
I'd rather take god blessings and follow his call
