Is What It Is

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
