The Way That It Was Lyrics

It's no mistake

I'm not living to get rich

On my sleeve

My bag still has many tricks

Walked right by you

Said you'd hit a lick

When we pull up on them

They just shit a brick

So it's time to cancel

All the ones

What I make them dance for?

Switching flows like you switch a channel

I make your bitch fold like a pretzel

Uh

And I'm not done yet

Was once the student now I'm a vet

Had some ops but they pose no threat

Don't wear no chain but I go for the neck

Ever since I started going a hundred percent

I don't care what you get I'm not arrogant

Everything's going my way but I planned the shit

Everyone's got a price I don't care if you did

I'm not responsible for the choice you make

I can only give you a voice it's not too late

But since I'm ahead of schedule I need a break

And since I'm head of state just give me a date

There's no time to lose

Give me some space

Let me vibe with you

I'll tell you straight

Never lie to you

In my eyes

I never mind the truth

Yeah

I never had much still I had enough

Never gave two fucks if you had it tough

Told her we should take it slow

But she liked it rough

We would always just fuck

We ain't like to fuss

But I'm better without her

I'mma keep the faith

Never could be a doubter

Be careful with who you surround yourself with

I been looking out

Call me the watchman

It could never go back to the way that it was

Especially since it was only that way just because

Okay

And the clock's steady ticking

Thank God I ain't fall prey to my last victim

Yeah he had heart

But his soul was missing

Catch him out singing go on take a listen

It's Devious

Man I'm so tired of living in place

Tell me how much sense does it make?

I'm stacking put it all in the safe

I'm willing to risk it all in the paint

And if I ever die it's too late for them

I'mma come back with a sword and a K

Asking "How much more does it take?"

Tell me you want war or want peace?

So I heard both sides of it

And still we can't agree

Tryna get rich

But dying broke is fine with me

Guess we'll just have to wait and see

But I don't compromise

You leave early

Don't get to work on time

You play too much

Don't need to work on mine

I been certain

Don't need to question mine

Second guessing is just a waste of time

I been destined to lay these rhymes

If you had a message I would let you slide

If you had a weapon I would recognize

First they baptize then they testify

I may be wrong but I've yet to lie

And if you had a second

I would give you mine

If I had nothing

I still had to rhyme
