[Verse 1]
Look, baby, don’t take me for no simp though
I’m too complex, not that simple
Me take you out, not to spend dough
Slow down a bit, not that tempo
I just wanna know, would you ride that Pinto?
If I stepped to you broke, would you watch that big toe?
Watch that MGTOW, that’s the new vibe
“Chick is mental,” says the new guys
Now tell me if you like that
It doesn’t really matter though
I tell you I be right back
But baby, I just gotta go
Sorry, but I’m not on a leash
Keep telling yourself that I’m out of your league
I’m so getting off the old way
‘cause I’m going my own way

[Hook]
That’s the way that it goes
That’s the way that it is
That’s the way that it goes
That’s the way that it is / that’s the way it is

That’s the way that it goes
That’s the way that it is
That’s the way that it goes
That’s the way that it is / that’s the way it is
Pump it up, pump, pump it up right now (x7)
Pump it up, pump, pump it up

[Verse 2]
You say you don’t want a double standard
I agree, I don’t wanna either, dammit
We in a new millennium, I’m being candid
The brothers getting sick of these chicks doing damage
When you nice, you a simp, or you passive
But when you get aggressive, they look at you as mannish
So tell me how the hell are we to manage?
You act like you impressed ‘cause I asked you for a sandwich
I tell you I don’t like that
It doesn’t really matter though
I used to wanna fight back
But now I know I gotta go
Sorry, but I’m not on a leash
Keep telling yourself that I’m out of your league
I’m so getting off the old way
‘cause I’m going my own way

[Hook]
That’s the way that it goes
That’s the way that it is
That’s the way that it goes
That’s the way that it is / that’s the way it is
That’s the way that it goes
That’s the way that it is
That’s the way that it goes
That’s the way that it is / that’s the way it is

Pump it up, pump, pump it up right now (x7)
Pump it up, pump, pump it up

[Verse 3]
You wanna be fair, take the whole fair route
Chivalry is dead, pull your own chair out
And when the burglar come, I’ma just run
You get the murderer out your own damn house
Miss Independent, Ne-Yo gassed you
Couple of things he probably should’ve ran past you
Like women’s empowerment doesn’t bash dudes
True empowerment shows you never have to
I betcha you don’t like that
It doesn’t really matter though
You wanna punch, bite, slap
And that’s just gotta go
Sorry, but I’m not on a leash
Keep telling yourself every guy is a creep
I’m so getting off the old way
Said I’m going my own way
[Hook]
That’s the way that it goes
That’s the way that it is
That’s the way that it goes
That’s the way that it is / that’s the way it is

That’s the way that it goes
That’s the way that it is
That’s the way that it goes
That’s the way that it is / that’s the way it is

Pump it up, pump, pump it up right now (x7)
Pump it up, pump, pump it up
