[Intro: Woman & Xavy Rusan]
There was his sister
And she left
He left us with her
For him to come to California (Mmmm…)
And-and…
"They Dad ain't gone leave you, baby… daddy comin' back to get ya" (Ha)
You just say here with your eight teeth and-and be good
And I'll be on back there to get ya
Soon
He did
He did

[Chorus]
Sometimes it be like that
I wish it wouldn't be like that
But sometimes it be like that, uh
I wish it wouldn't be like that
But sometimes it…

[Post-Chorus]
Look
Uh, look

[Verse 1]
Life of a legend, just a day in the life
Might slide on ya, I ain't stayin' the night
I ain't pick cards, I'm just playin' 'em right
Photo shoot tomorrow, they gon' play for the flight
Amazin' the height I'm able to reach from just rappin'
Get it all a jit, my n***a, so fuck trappin'
Catch me in the lab, I'm a player with the game plan
And I stick to it, we are really not the same, man
Nothin' make these motherfuckers change like the game can
In too deep, I'ma really be a name brand
I levitate, got you lookin' like a caveman
Talkin' like you winnin' doin' only what a slave can
I'm gettin' money so I'm knowin' why they mad at me
Quarter-ounce of literary, magic in the Glad baggie
Word to the plug, hope your baby stay fed, n***a
I'ma keep you livin' with a pocket full of dead n***as
And I came up from the eyes, they can't fathom
So I'ma need all my Lil' coins, you can't have 'em
But I'd probably drop a couple blessings on the way out
Give a Lil', get a Lil', watch it comma play out
Royal gettin' royalties, I'm waitin' on the pay out
Loyal to the soil, but we manifest the way out, uh
Thank God for the love and the upcomin'
I was blessed with the flows, got my cup runnin'
Ain't no fear in the black man, fuck runnin'
Dicky tryin' us, my travel n***as goin' Duck Hunt
[Chorus]
'Cause it be like that
But sometimes it be like that
I wish it wouldn't be like that
But sometimes it be like that
I wish it wouldn't be like that
It wouldn't be like that

[Verse 2]
We was thirteen, playin' with a ratchet and some ratchet hoes
Side of town where n***as grow rapid, oh, we had to grow
On a need to know unless a motherfucka had to know
Posin' for the cameras like you tryna get a action role
I'm beneficial, you ain't beneficial to me, boy
Country bumpkin' Booney Boy, prayin' like a soon-ey boy
Say they wanna make a difference, they ain't movin' different, no
Passin' drugs with a handshake, that's a give and go
Lotta loud n***as from my hood, they ain't livin', no
Talkin' like he Jordan, a n***a ain't even Pippen, no
I hear the shit that you sayin', but put your chest in it
I'm the best in it, won't answer to nothin' less than it
I'm everything like your favorite rapper, but less timid
More organic, and less rented, I'm blessed with it
I got the shit that could shift minds with six lines
Tellin' tall tales, you 6'9'', my bitch fine
Catch a flight to the future, n***a, I switched times
Changed for the dolla, a bought a .40, you six dimes
Ghetto n***as who done moved to the 'burb side
Sippin' liquor curbside, now I'm makin' words ride
Better livin', I see this shit from a bird's eye
Learn to do my talkin' with numbers, I know the words lie
Highly favored, you fabricated and fictitious
I'm light bearin', I flick switches for quick riches
My shit vicious, come get stitches, it hit different
He hit my line 'cause his chick missin', no pic' flickin'
I'm dictatin', you dick ridin' and dick lickin'
Bickin' back big flickin', n***as know my shit kickin'
I said these n***as know my shit kickin'
[Chorus]
'Cause sometimes it be like that (Sometimes it be like that)
I wish it didn't be like that
But sometimes it be like that
I wish it didn't be like that
'Cause sometimes it be like that
I wish it didn't be like that
'Cause sometimes it be like that
I wish it didn't be like that
It didn't be like that, it wouldn't

[Verse 3]
And if I ever fall off, I could fall back
I could probably lose it all, get it all back
You waitin' on a white man in the call back
They ain't give it to us, we took it, now what you call that?
Thirty hours, five songs, I'm a hit maker
Fuckin' with the God body, you a risk taker
I'm overseas, you a overtime shift taker
All buildup, no action, these n***as cliffhangers
I quit stressin', I'm livin' my best life now
I can't fuck with these hoes, only my wife now
I leave the crib and she waitin' there in a nightgown
Fuck all of these haters, this wave makin' a lifestyle
Quarter-ounce of cookies, makin' crypto plays
Higher platform like a disco phase
With my same n***as from the Sisqo days
I'm out in Cali with the grower makin' Frisco plays
I miss those days when n***as was actually fact-droppin'
Go and tell the world real n***as is back poppin'
Rim still spinnin' as the lack stoppin', and I ragtop it, just so I'm seein' the backdroppin', n***a
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause it be like that
'Cause it be like that, look

[Chorus]
'Cause sometimes it be like that
I wish it didn't be like that
But sometimes it be like that
I wish it wouldn't be like that
But sometimes it be like that
I wish it didn't be like that
'Cause sometimes it be like that
I wish it wouldn't be like that
It wouldn't be like that, it wouldn't

[Outro]
"I am thankful for all of the things I am, and more importantly, I am thankful for all of the things that I am not
For God did not make me in the spirit of fear, but to go forward bravely"
