[Hook]
It is what it is
It is what it is
We never changed up
We gon' live how we live
Live how we live
And you ain't gotta like it
Can't feel how you feel
Can't feel how you feel
We do what we want
Cuz' it is what it is
It is what it is
We never changed up
[Verse 1 - Thi'sl]
I woke up this morning in a airport
4 checkbags
4 different cities in 4 different days
Straight jetlagged
I grew up in the gutter
I'm a product of my ways
A minor setback
I ran to the field and I started making plays
No touchbacks
It is what it is
It is what it is
Go ask my city
I'm really that kid
I'm really that kid
They still betting against me
How silly that is
How silly that is
Grew up with no heart
Had to go see the Wiz
Go see the Wiz
Do this for my patnas that's under the dirt
And doing them bids
Think back on them times when we used to be kids
It give me the chills
Big bro told me "Thi's don't you ever switch up
Keep giving that real"
So think what you want, you can say what you want
It is what it is
[Bridge: Thi'sl]
I feel so blessed to be in this position right now
We way up, we way up, we way up, we high as the clouds
Gon' stay up, gon' stay up, gon' stay up and never come down
Those stairs, those stairs, those stairs
That's how'll we leave out
It is what it is
[Chorus: Thi'sl]
It is what it is
It is what it is
We never changed up
We gon' live how we live
Live how we live
And you ain't gotta like it
Can't feel how you feel
Can't feel how you feel
We do what we want
Cuz' it is what it is
It is what it is (I woke up this mornin' like)
It is what it is
It is what it is
We never changed up
We gon' live how we live
Gon' live how we live
And you ain't gotta like it
Can't feel how you feel
Can't feel how you feel
We do what we want
Cuz' it is what it is
It is what it is
We never changed up
[Verse 2: Ty Brasel]
I love the game, I love the game
I put a ring on it
Committed to greatness
Never will cheat on it
Put my heart, put my soul, put my dreams on it
So it's no surprise that they sleep on it
Keep my head high tho
Use it as motivation
The passion in my eyes
No time to be wasted, I'm on the clock
Gotta make my life count racing against the odds
They stacked against me, I'm cool tho
I'm good, I'm cool, I'm straight, yeah
Apply pressure under pressure
I'm calm and collected
Young Larry Bird shooting high percentage
My windows tinted, I don't need y'all to see me
Reflect the light beams showing God's image
And now I got that Pac feeling
Like I'm Makaveli, I can't die
Stray bullets scratch me on that cold Memphis night
In the club, they do not fight, they pull triggers
God kept me from the bloodbath
That's my redemption
Seen them bodies fall down like Sonny Liston
And I don't know why he chose me to do his will
But I'm concrete in the field and I ain't switching
And homie said, "Through it all, keep the loyalty"
And tell em' they can put that on my grave when they bury me
[Chorus: Thi'sl]
It is what it is
It is what it is
We never changed up
We gon' live how we live
Live how we live
And you ain't gotta like it
Can't feel how you feel
Can't feel how you feel
We do what we want
Cuz' it is what it is
It is what it is (I woke up this mornin' like)
It is what it is
It is what it is
We never changed up
We gon' live how we live
Gon' live how we live
And you ain't gotta like it
Can't feel how you feel
Can't feel how you feel
We do what we want
Cuz' it is what it is
It is what it is
We never changed up
