It Is What It Is

Ice Cube

Will I ever get it right, get it right?
Will I ever get it right, get it right?
My momma think I'm outta sight, outta sight
My momma think I'm outta sight, outta sight
It is what it is, it is, it is
It is what it is, it is, it is
I do this for my kids, my kids, my kids
I do this for my kids, my kids, my kids
Understand me
Now homey do you dig, you dig, you dig?
It is what it is, it is, it is
I do this for my kids, my kids, my kids
I do this for my kids, my kids, my kids
Now will I ever get it right? Get it right?
Even though I'm out at night, livin' life
Girl I'm tryin' to make this money, I ain't even playin'
Course the game I'm in, it ain't even payin'
When I'm on the go, on the go
Everybody wanna know, wanna know
Cube where the fuck you goin' each and every day?
I just turn around and I say
It is what it is, it is, it is
It is what it is, it is, it is
I do this for my kids, my kids, my kids
I do this for my kids, my kids, my kids
Now homey do you dig, you dig, you dig?
It is what it is, it is, it is
I do this for my kids, my kids, my kids
I do this for my kids, my kids, my kids
Even though I'm messin' up, messin' up, you fuckin' up
Feel the devil catchin' up, catchin' up
I put it in the Lord's hands, he is the man
Please his demands 'fore he turn me into sand, don't do it

But got to pay the rent, pay the rent
Without the government, government
I do it for the fuck of it, fuck of it
I do it for the fuck of it, fuck of it
It is what it is, it is, it is
It is what it is, it is, it is
I do this for my kids, my kids, my kids
I do this for my kids, my kids, my kids
Now homey do you dig, you dig, you dig?
It is what it is, it is, it is
I do this for my kids, my kids, my kids
I do this for my kids, my kids, my kids
Got to get my swagger up
Got to get my swagger up
Please get yo' swagger up
Got to get my swagger up
Better get my swagger up
Check this out homey
This business right here, is personal
I would go around you, over you
Under you or through you
To make sure none of my family suffer
Do you understand me?
It is what it is, it is, it is
It is what it is, it is, it is
I do this for my kids, my kids, my kids
I do this for my kids, my kids, my kids
Now homey do you dig, you dig, you dig?
It is what it is, it is, it is
I do this for my kids, my kids, my kids
I do this for my kids, my kids, my kids
