It is what it is Lyrics

East Shit Forever Man

I learned to just leave shit alone for real

Can't talk to me, won't open up, I'm on my own for real

Home ain't feelin' right, so I ain't got nowhere to go for real

Lesson learned by night, yeah, it hurts, but now I know it's real

They took that good me when I was a kid

Too busy tryna hustle for my momma, I ain't get to live

Nobody ever listen to me talkin', I don't move my lips

Nobody owes me nothin', so it's fuck em, it is what it is

Runnin', runnin', runnin', a check up, see I've been busy

I'll be comin', comin', comin', I'm next up inside the city

I'll be dumpin', dumpin', dumpin', I'm shootin' it till it's empty

I'll be steppin', steppin', steppin' on niggas until they're Stanley

I can't help it that I'm stuck in these ways I never planned to be

Gotta keep this shit to myself, can't let them damage me

Nonchalant as hell, you gotta say it twice to speak to me

They quit to point the finger, they knew miney, mo' not eenie meenie

Empty faucet, no power for the lights inside the socket

Life showed me the sunny side until it got to darkest

It was hardly days, the sun would shine until I left the darkness

Now it's bright enough to see the side that's blocked behind corruption

He keeps it hid behind the biggest smile, just close your eyes and listen closely

You might hear the softest sound, he tries to hide behind his emotions

Now he don't reach out, he tries to lie so he don't have to show them, he don't reach out

I learned to just leave shit alone for real

Can't talk to me, won't open up, I'm on my own for real

Home ain't feelin' right, so I ain't got nowhere to go for real

Lesson learned by night, yeah, it hurts, but now I know it's real

They took that good me when I was a kid

Too busy tryna hustle for my momma, I ain't get to live

Nobody ever listen to me talkin', I don't move my lips

Nobody owes me nothin', so it's fuck em, it is what it is
