"Just How It Be" lyrics

My phone keeps ringing all day
I don't have a ransom
Tend to get into my own way
See I don't wanna be by myself
But I guess I might have to
'Cause sometimes it's just how it be

The world looks a lot different
When you got no place to be
Gotta keep my distance
Yeah, I'm locked down to the seam
I'm pacing the floor then biting my nails
'Cause I don't know
If I should try to fill the void again
Or say it low

If you ask how I'm doing
I say listen to this
I might be ruined
But it is what it is
I won't romanticize
That I'm sad all night, nah
The spotlight would be too bright
I like it dark outside
'Cause it's safer to hide
And I just need space where my brain is on fire
I guess I'm just tired

My phone keeps ringing all day
I don't have a ransom
Tend to get into my own way
See I don't wanna be by myself
But I guess I might have to
'Cause sometimes it's just how it be

See I don't wanna be by myself
But I guess I might have to
'Cause sometimes it's just how it be

Things are moving a lot different
Since I got more time for me
It's a bitter delight, isn't it?
Shutting out everybody so they can't see
And not that I don't like damn I just hate me
Keep my distance, admit that I'm flakey
I just can't take fake small talk conversations
Get to the point already
No baby, I ain't afraid to die
I can't say that I want to though
I can hardly decide
'Cause I get emotional when I talk to God
I ain't a victim, I just been through a lot

My phone keeps ringing all day
I don't have a ransom
Tend to get into my own way
See I don't wanna be by myself
But I guess I might have to
'Cause sometimes it's just how it be
