lirik lagu get it how u live – thomas burgundy

[hook]
it is what it is
(it is what it is huh? it is what it is, yeah)
get it how you live
get it how you live, get it how you live, yeah)
it is what it is
(it is what it is huh? it is what it is, yeah)
get it how you live
get it how you live, look)

[verse 1]
this that mom & pop shop rap
nickel back in a sock rap
nicaragua to watts crack
block is hot cause they brought that
glock is c-cked, where’d you cop that?
gunwalking they lost that
or was it strategized?
liquor store smell like genocide
aye where my gang bangers protecting their community?
back when raymond & tookie crippin’ for unity
but pushing weight to my aunti slowly could ruin me
got us k!lling our people for a living, y’all confusing me

[verse 2]
when i was 9 years old i just wanted to be a blood
then ice cube reminded us who gave us the guns and drugs
then wonder why we thugs
they tryna count the slugs
did we go from keeping each other safe to doing the oppressors job for him?
holdup
i know you in it, you with it, y’all gotta quit it tho
just tryna make a living tho, when resources are minimal
so criminal activity is all we know
might run up in your house and take your tv and sell it
i’m bout to get evicted bro
oh wait no, general education coulda solved that
like after graduation, all these jobs just fall up in your lap
send a hundred applications, pray you get a call back
better learn to dribble a ball, or hit the corner as your fall back
yeah
but we can’t all bank on affirmative action
like the hand that pushed us here supposed to feed us too? imagine
so you wonder why she dances
sell her love to pay her taxes
don’t ask me if it’s right or wrong
better ask me how this happened
d-mn

[verse 3]
so ask me how i’m still on my feet
when police cuffed me for selling mangos in the street
sellers permit never got approved, but i still gotta eat
i got roses by the freeway, got elotes what you need?
i got bootleg dvd’s
watch me flip this ebt
got mixtapes on burnt cd’s
drop a dime like cp3
i am the swapmeet
i am hot cheetos & takis
undoc-mented ran salon, but my hustle you can’t knock g
inspiration often born from desperation
we learned from experience and struggle, not their education
gentrification mixed with a criminal record will make it
d-mnear impossible ever to make it
in a respectable workplace
so the worst case
is inevitable ain’t it?
guess crime pays when the system doesn’t
but crime’s a way of life when you inst-tutionalized, or am i missing something?
nah we gon educate ourselves
my momma got fired, then went to school and started her own business
you can’t tell me nothing

[hook]
it is what it is
(it is what it is huh? it is what it is, yeah)
get it how you live
get it how you live, get it how you live)
it is what it is
(it is what it is huh? it is what it is, yeah)
get it how you live
get it how you live, get it how you live)
