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
