Verse 1 (SkyBlew):
My mind state changed the expression on my face
Rearranged it ‘cause people start acting real strange when
You making moves, rather see you standing still
Like a mannequin, ‘cause you ahead of them so now they panicking
Mo’ fire to the people, let me add coals
Can’t no mother ever teach what a dad knows
A lot of kids grew up and never had those
So they blew their life away like a bad nose
Congested, neglected, ‘cause they ain’t have a person in their life to make ‘em feel protected
But the hands of time keeps ticking, uh
There they go, you don’t know what you missin’
Like the back of a milk carton
We hard in our exterior like the next man is inferior
Don’t think you greater than the person to the right of you
A blind man could bring sight to you

Hook (SkyBlew):
Everyday I wake, thank god that I breathe
Open up my eyes, show me how to see
Tomorrow might come but there’s no guarantee
It is what it is, that’s the way it’s gon’ be
It is what it is, that’s the way it’s gon’ be
It is what it is, that’s the way it’s gon’ be
We can’t change time, homeboy, let it be
It is what it is, that’s the way it’s gon’ be
Verse 2 (SK4MC a.k.a. Sam King):
I inhale the oxy, skate past like hockey and ride the beat like a jockey
Can’t live if you can’t breathe, thank god
Thank me, tryna spread love, day job
And you can get it year ‘round, no egg nog
I bid these visions if you listen and your head bob
Feeling like my luck’s up, all the things that I’ve f*cked up ‘got me lower than a buzzcut
Please Lord, grant me serenity
Do I save the world or the light of my trinity?
Used to have a pocket full of stones, now I’m fidgety
Forced to forcefield, the unpositive energy
Upload and file-share my synergy
Unzip the remedy and wake up my enemy
Don’t [?] my Kennedy[?], word to my dignity
Family like twenty deep with unmatched identity

Hook (SkyBlew):
Everyday I wake, thank god that I breathe
Open up my eyes, show me how to see
Tomorrow might come but there’s no guarantee
It is what it is, that’s the way it’s gon’ be
It is what it is, that’s the way it’s gon’ be
It is what it is, that’s the way it’s gon’ be
We can’t change time, homeboy, let it be
It is what it is, that’s the way it’s gon’ be
That’s the way it’s gon’ be
Verse 3 (SK4MC, SkyBlew):
Me and SkyBlew, giving ‘em something to ride to
On Sundays we write to this music insightful
Got it on locker like a high school
Came with them stanzas by the haiku
IQ, a flow like a nice screws
Give it ’til there’s nothing left, I’m rocking two right shoes
I do whatever I like to, I’ll never be set back by anyone like you

Man, I write to the rhythm, I feel it in my soul
Like youth in their [?] hearing stories from the old (hold up)
Make sure you watch every step
It could be your last like the first symptoms of death
Still hear like the deaf not muted
The key to not being bored—never over-compute it
Rooted to the core like the center of the earth
Life is valuable, better know what it’s worth

Hook (SkyBlew):
Everyday I wake, thank god that I breathe
Open up my eyes, show me how to see
Tomorrow might come but there’s no guarantee
It is what it is, that’s the way it’s gon’ be
It is what it is, that’s the way it’s gon’ be
It is what it is, that’s the way it’s gon’ be
We can’t change time, homeboy, let it be
It is what it is, that’s the way it’s gon’ be
That’s the way it’s gon’ be
