"Is What It Is" lyrics
(feat. Songer & A Little Sound)
Close your eyes
It's time to leave this world behind
We're flying away, higher than space
A place where it's me, the lights and the bass
I always come back down
Same old place in this strange old town
Mind in a daze, times never change
Trying, but nothing is going my way
It is what it is, ey
I'm chasing the highs, it helps me get by
It is what it is, yeah
I cave to the pressure, could do so much better
It is what it is, yeah
Settle for less, so strive to my best
It is what it is, ey
It is what it is, ey
The world is poisoned, if you can't beat them, join them
I was raised in a place where intoxication is confused with enjoyment
If you mix that part of the culture, with inflation and unemployment
Then you might just think we've created a world we call home to destroy us
But fuck it, let's drink and bill it
Yeah, that's gonna lift the spirit
Seemed like a bright idea at the time
But there ain't no wisdom in it
Man didn't know when I spat two bars on the track, all the things that would come with it
Better know that you would come down, if you spent your life trying to hit your limit
There's more to life than winning and sinning
Find me somewhere in between
Up late night trying to live the dream
Till temptation wants to intervene, yeah
Caught up in a madness, didn't foresee my current position
Always on a motive, rather regret something that I did, than something I didn't
Idiot with a drink in my hand like Homer Simpson
Jekyll and Hyde, I'm so conflicted
Everyone wanna party, I'm alone and distant
So I tell them hold it down, ready for peace, homeward bound
Won't be long till I'm back in the cycle, mandem rolling round
It is what it is, till it isn't
The devil on your shoulder tryna search up the position
Just gotta hang tight, never listen
Remember in no time that you'll be back out on a mission
'Cause it is what it is, yeah
No, we ain't backing down, not today
'Cause it is what it is, till it isn't, yeah
It is what it is, ey
I'm chasing the highs, it helps me get by
It is what it is, yeah
I cave to the pressure, could do so much better
It is what it is, yeah
Settle for less, so strive to my best
It is what it is, ey
It is what it is, ey
Hand on my heart, mine is a melody, struggle to cope when shit is on mute
I'm at a party, feeling like therapy, open tequila and telling the truth
Tell em a couple of screws are loose
They don't appear when I'm hitting up booth
They don't appear when I'm sipping a beer and they don't appear when I listen to Bru-C
Silence is making me lose sleep
I put my head on the pillow, my vision is coloured, it's looking like 2 C B, it keep me awake
Is what it is, is something I'm saying, I need it, keeping me sane
Life is a blur, it's making me hurt, I'm lucky I spend half the year on a plane
Baow-baow
Again and again
At the end of the summer I'm dropping another, I tell em to dance in the rain
If I'm on a set and people are still, that's one way to give me the pain
I need some dancing, hugging and laughing, that's how I know we're feeling the same
Hangovers ain't as awful when they're worth it
Nobody's as attractive when they're perfect
That's why music makes you feel like you deserve it
'Cause anxiety's a checkpoint when you burst it
Close your eyes
It's time to leave this world behind
We're flying away, higher than space
A place where it's me, the lights and the bass
I always come back down
Same old place in this strange old town
Mind in a daze, times never change
Trying, but nothing is going my way, it is what it is, ey
It's time to leave this world behind
We're flying away, higher than space
A place where it's me, the lights and the bass
I always come back down
Same old place in this strange old town
Mind in a daze, times never change
Trying, but nothing is going my way
It is what it is, ey
I'm chasing the highs, it helps me get by
It is what it is, yeah
