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, yeah

Look 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 dome

No 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 blast

You 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

That'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 sag

Should'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 through

You'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 sound

You 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

You 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

Selfresael once again, my sympathy stepin' to you
So back on the essay 'cause the hazards back to meal your bones

You 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 ground

Damp dead
In a hard cold ground
Damp dead
In a hard cold ground

You 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 sound

You 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

You 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
