Be That Way

[Chorus: Struggle Jennings] Lookin' out the window starin' at the sky Happens for a reason but what's the reason why It ain't supposed to be that way It ain't supposed to be that way Weather through the storm lightnin' and the thunder Did I take the wrong road, I didn't see another It ain't supposed to be that way, uh uh It ain't supposed to be that way, Struggle [Verse 1: Struggle Jennings] Collect call from department of correction Looking out the window but I see a clear reflection Did I take the wrong direction at the intersection Hear the whispers that I'm different guess it's all perception Lessons that I learned worth the sacrifices made Dues that I paid paved the way to better days Now dreams comin' true and this bed that I lay But I slay so I pray that they stay out of my way No hatred in my heart for the friends that up and split Glass half full, Don Julio and guilt My decisions crumbled walls in the house that I built Baptized in the puddle can't cry over spilled milk [Chorus: Struggle Jennings] Lookin' out the window starin' at the sky Happens for a reason but what's the reason why It ain't supposed to be that way It ain't supposed to be that way Weather through the storm lightnin' and the thunder Did I take the wrong road, I didn't see another It ain't supposed to be that way It ain't supposed to be that way [Verse 2: Jelly Roll] My big brother told me go and get it My mama told me Ramen noodles and ketchup equals spaghetti I jumped off the porch when I was young and thought I was ready Put the world on my shoulders pretended it wasn't heavy Hear the rumble of the thunder I swear to God I feel the lightnin' I've seen it all from closed caskets to sealed indictments The preacher man said heavens real and I'm still invited But meanwhile I still feel this guilt inside me Take a moment to relax, just to sit back Even on the days that it's sunny my city's pitch black Just to go get the paper willin' to pitch packs Is there a heaven for people that really did that [Chorus: Struggle Jennings] Lookin' out the window starin' at the sky Happens for a reason but what's the reason why It ain't supposed to be that way It ain't supposed to be that way Weather through the storm lightnin' and the thunder Did I take the wrong road, I didn't see another It ain't supposed to be that way It ain't supposed to be that way [Verse 3: Struggle Jennings] Uh, I came home with my mind right, feeling stable But now Mondo's gone now, Tata's been disabled Half the homies back in prison other half just livin' Guess I had a different vision that we all be chilin' Life moves on and takes us different ways We all floatin' in this ocean head above the waves I wanna see your face at more than just in funerals Life is a hard pill to swallow homie but it's chewable [Chorus: Struggle Jennings] Lookin' out the window starin' at the sky Happens for a reason but what's the reason why It ain't supposed to be that way It ain't supposed to be that way Weather through the storm lightnin' and the thunder Did I take the wrong road, I didn't see another It ain't supposed to be that way It ain't supposed to be that way
