It Is What It Is Video (MV)

Doing what I can... so I can do what I want to do
Leading From The Back

Doing what I can so I can do what I want to do
Leading from the Back, though it's much safer in front of you
On this path you will clash with whoever is judging you
Just get the job done because nothing is indestructible
Look at Mr. Huxtable
Even if you infiltrate, you'll deflate once they've had enough of you
And be mindful of the environment that you're adjusting to
Most people in love with what you have, they not in love with you
Part them waters when I'm coming through
Let your spark be an ark when them doubters ducking you and grab a duck or 2
Couple lions, couple sharks, for a lunch or 2
The truth is what it is, perception is adjustable
If it leaves thats because it never was for you
And loyalty is never certain from those who don't trust in you
I pondered on this for a month or 2
They want a piece of the pie... but they just softer than a muffin... chew

It Is What It Is... you just gotta keep going... wanna live? Than live
You just gotta keep going. It is what it is... you just gotta keep going
You gotta keep going... you gotta keep going

Passed on selling hard drugs & that was kind of hard because
Everybody shining on these streets was all thugs
Everybody shining on tv
Was either playing professional ball or im hollywood caught up
But everytime i got on some bullshit
My moms and my pops was who i thought of
And how they made an honest living
So how could i throw away the opportunity im given
So besides selling weed I didn't
But everytime i turned around niggers is what they called us
Every door that opened up got slammed before we walked up
My corporate ties knew that I was a cash cow
The problem was I wasnt selling my soul to cash out
So many problems i hashed out at times I lashed out
That was my way of throwing the trash out
That was my was of having something just to rap about
And thats without taking the fast route
Now its the HOV Lane I made a faster route
Grab some glasses pass them out
We showing up and we acting out
Looking back this shit is really just something to laugh about
But f*cking with my cash route aint nothing to laugh about
Im not the mad rapper but they asking me what im mad about
You fake smiling like a clown now tell me what thats about
At this point you should be passed the doubt
But its like drinking too much you wont learn until you passing out

It is what it is
You just gotta keep going
Wanna live than live
You just gotta keep going
It is what it is
You just gotta keep going
You gotta keep going
You gotta keep going
