The Way It Is lyrics

by

Dr. Dre


[Verse 1: Meccah Dawn]
When it's over with, said and done
My boys grown men and my grandma's is one
I wanna look back on my life like, yo, I did that right
Even though, at times, I ain't have the strength to fight
Layin' in my bed, crying tears at night
All alone, not a friend in sight
It's hard to face tomorrow when you got no hope
Just a dream and some sh*t you wrote
Head in the sand, tryna bury the pain
Married the game, I hate it, but I love it the same
'Cause in my heart are hearts
I know that this the reason I came
It's deeper than n*ggas screamin' my name
When I'm on stage
More personal than business
More than Twitter mentions
A million plus listeners, man, I'm tryna make a difference
And right my life
So I write my life

[Hook: Jai]
It's everything I came to be
Only thing I wanna do
But what difference do it make if ya'll can't see through to me?
I'm just tryna make this dream a reality
(Sometimes that ain't the way that sh*t goes)
I'm goin' hard out here, man it's hard out here
Blood, sweat, tears, is that all y'all hear?
Damn, I'm tryna do something bigger than me
(Sometimes that ain't the way that sh*t goes)
[Verse 2: Jai]
Everybody want fortune and fame
But extortions of addicts change our way to portions you gain
So I stay in my lane, these inner voices insane
And in the midst of the storm, I start to question the rain
Like why?
Even when I was a kid, I had to face adversity
Over and over again
God, why hate my reflection?
We don't see eye to eye
Sometimes, don't want to look too deep
Scared what I might find
What I'm gon' do when the whole world watchin' me though?
Vulnerable, 'cause now the whole world watchin' me grow
Those picture-perfect cameras just test me
Take me as I am or let me be
No point in living if I can't be free
Look at me, I'm tryna to let you see
I'm trying to let you in
Door's open, and all I got is this pen

[Hook: Jai]
It's everything I came to be
Only thing I wanna do
But what difference do it make if ya'll can't see through to me
I'm just tryna make this dream a reality
(Sometimes that ain't the way that sh*t goes)
I'm goin' hard out here, man it's hard out here
Blood, sweat, tears, is that all y'all hear?
Damn, I'm tryna do something bigger than me
(Sometimes that ain't the way that sh*t goes)
[Outro: ?]
Ohh, uh-uh, uh-uh, uh-huh, ohh
Sometimes that ain't the way that sh*t goes
Ohh, uh-uh, uh-huh, uh-huh, ohh
Sometimes that ain't the way that sh*t goes
