(Show em that we can do this)

(Yeeeah boyeee)
|
|
It got to be that way
|
Sometime it got to be that way
|
|
Sittin in my room smokin cheeba
|
And then I heard the beep of my beeper
|
Callin back, "Yo brother, what you need?"
|
Ounce of lleyo and a forty and weed
|
Got in my ride for the drop-off
|
But when I got there it was nothin but a knock-off
|
He said, "Yo, I'm gonna make it clear and simple"
|
And then he put a Uzi to my temple
|
"Damn right Schoolly-School, it's a set-up
|
And if you're smart you just shut up
|
Give me all your gold and your cash
|
So a brother like me'll make a dash
|
Like a bullet from a A.K.
|
Sometime it got to be that way"
|
|
It got to be that way
|
Sometime it got to be that way
|
|
Yo brotherman, I was fakin
|
Who the hell do they think that they're gankin?
|
Always tryin to tell a brother how to live
|
But reality they don't really give (don't give a damn)
|
How to hell you gon' tell me what to do?
|
When I'm livin in the ghetto in the zoo
|
Cause to you I ain't nothin but a nigga
|
And to me you ain't nothin but a sucker and a gold-digger
|
Like a bullet from a A.K.
|
Sometime it got to be that way
|
|
It got to be that way
|
Sometime it got to be that way
|
|
Yo homes, this is what I figure
|
In order for us to get bigger
|
Sometime we got to pull on the trigger
|
Sit back and take a little swigger
|
Of Miller, smoke a little killer
|
For a brother on the street it's notin but a thriller
|
All this, you're talkin all that
|
But you still sell a brother a cat
|
You didn't know it was the 911
|
Now they got another brother on the run
|
Like a bullet from a A.K.
|
Sometime it got to be that way
|
|
It got to be that way
|
Sometime it got to be that way
|
|
|
My destination I crusade, don't question what I'm doin
|
To keep the brothers hype and leave the suckers boo-hooin
|
To sway away the sayers that's frontin on what I'm sayin
|
Or trippin, even flippin and knowin I ain't playin
|
And playin, yeah buddy, that's the word
|
Describin all the games bein played in the rock world
|
I would like to do it, liked to tell you, my man
|
But we're in America, I might get banned
|
|
It got to be that way
|
Sometime it got to be that way
|
|
It got to be that way
|
Sometime it got to be that way
