How It Is

Hey you, c'mon up baby

Yeah, this is slight risky

Playa've respect right to you

Brooklyn his side L.A wula, yeahLook into the eyes of a madman

You can see it in his face he's a weak and sad man

Starin' straight ahead his eyes set like stone

With a nine millimeter cocked at your domeNo way out it's too late 'cause you're already in

So what'cha gonna do you'll be dead in a minute

Thinkin' slow will get you nowhere fast

A young life terminated with one short blastYou live like that you die like this

That's how it is

Livin' with regret is no way to live

That's how it is

You're dead too soon if the bullet don't miss

That's how it is, yo that's how it isThat's what you get for livin' like this

With the bullet in your head you're dead you can't miss

Ain't no time for regret when you're body is in a bag

Ain't no time to change your mind when your head begins to sagShould've known better ain't workin' for you now

If you know better you'd be here somehow

So change your ways before you ways change you

With a hole in your head that you can see throughYou're lookin' up and you're lookin' down

Shot's are rippin' out from all around

You're cryin' out for help but it can't be found

The voice of regret is the only soundYou live like that you die like this

That's how it is

Livin' with regret is no way to live

That's how it is

You're dead too soon if the bullet don't miss

That's how it is, yo that's how it isYou live like that you die like this

That's how it is

Livin' with regret is no way to live

That's how it is

You're dead too soon if the bullet don't miss

That's how it is, yo that's how it isSelfresael once again, my sympathy stepin' to you

So back on the essay 'cause the hazards back to meal your bonesYou play the game, and you pay the price

For hustlin' in the gutter, with the motherfuckin' street lice

But sooner or later, what goes around comes around

You wind up damp dead, in a hard cold groundDamp dead

In a hard cold ground

Damp dead

In a hard cold groundYou think I know when your lookin' down

So to whippin' now, from all around

Youre crying out for help but it cant be found

The voice of regret is the only soundYou live like that you die like this

That's how it is

Livin' with regret is no way to live

That's how it is

You're dead too soon if the bullet don't miss

That's how it is, yo that's how it isYou live like that you die like this

That's how it is

Livin' with regret is no way to live

That's how it is

You're dead too soon if the bullet don't miss

That's how it is, yo that's how it is
