Way It Is..

I use to say "Fuck the Money!" with a passion
back when there was nothing but drinking smoking and rapping
laughing life away like there was no price to pay
for staying out late writing my name up on the trains
never played the game instead I went against it
raised fist and all splashing war paint on walls
breaking laws with a smile..mommas lost child
who use to run wild with a low profile
playing at my own risk paying no mind to the mileage
living like I was next on God's 'soon-to-die-list'
but ohhh how it changes how shit rearranges
how clear & present dangers suddenly seem safer
forced into the corner taking orders chasing paper
thinking to myself how much I really hate to
go to school getting so confused about what to do
its like..go to class, kiss ass, OR say "Fuck the rules!"
...but son..its easier said than done
when we live within a system that runs on funds
its the reason why those stuck up kids deal drugs
and the reasons why sometimes we gotta leave the ones we love
work hard, get rewarded. thats the way jobs are kid
you can't be an artist if you don't know how to market
pardon me for telling you all this shit
but you can't discard the facts..cause thats just the way it is..

no biting. no copying. no pasting. just read and appreciate. simple
