How It Goes

[Intro]

Start relying on yourself

Confidence and reliance are the art of finding you

If you don't have a sudden sense of self-worth, you listen to what others have to say every time and be swayed by their insistence of what is wrong and what is right

Learn to trust your feelings (J-J-JOAT)

Ya zimme!

[Chorus: Randy Valentine]

This is how it goes, when you living life on the road

Cops come kickin’ in ya door

They said you broke the law

Excuses they don't wanna know

They lock you up and throw you in jail

I seen it all before

Maybe like a million times or more, that’s why I keep the toolie in the jar

'Cause I'm nobody's dog

And I know bodies will be on the floor and I don't want it to be me, Lord

[Verse 1: J Hus]

And every time that I leave, mum won't stop praying 'til I come home

'Cause I’m outchea, doing all the things that she can’t condone

I can see my reflection, but my identity’s still unknown

Rolling on my enemies with a one pop, tryna kill two birds with one stone

[Verse 2: Randy Valentine]

I said the streets is a gun zone, gun zone

You haffi lookout for gun clone

Love square we a claim so dem run town

Ghetto circle dem boy they will run round

We run the compound

So when we see feds we no jump 'round

Stand up on di corner wi me hands fold

We got de console, we in a control

[Verse 3: J Hus]

Man I ride for my team, tracksuits full of residue

Likkle man this is a life that you never knew

You couldn’t spend a week in my crepes

My block breezy baguettes

[Verse 4: Randy Valentine]

Yuh nuh know what a gun is

How yuh fi say yuh a di baddest

A when yuh hear (Pop!) you a vanish

Mi know dat from east landan to crystal palace

Wi will mek yuh disappear like magic

[Chorus: Randy Valentine]

This is how it goes, when you living life on the road

Cops come kickin’ in ya door

They said you broke the law

Excuses they don't wanna know

They lock you up and throw you in jail

I seen it all before

Maybe like a million times or more, that’s why I keep the toolie in the jar

'Cause I'm nobody's dog

And I know bodies will be on the floor and I don't want it to be me, Lord

[Verse 5: J Hus]

Yo dem brothers don’t like me, it can never be an issue

I got dirt on my hands I can’t wipe with a tissue

School kids that bang sticks and can’t even tell time

That’s when detention turns into jail time

You gotta watch your friends everybody’s tryna eat

And free P he’s the last of a dying breed

I wish I could rewind

It’s a eye for a eye, the blind following blind

[Verse 6: Randy Valentine]

My spirit dem really waan fi tackle

Mind me affi slap dem wid a snapple

Throw dem inna jail who yuh waan fi shackle

Wi dun know it is a spiritual battle

So oh eventually they are with some nunchakus and mi nackas just in case yuh wanna tap one of mi choppas

Tun in yuh body lie, no gimme no apple

Ghetto rebel youts comin' at yuh

[Chorus: Randy Valentine]

This is how it goes, when you living life on the road

Cops come kickin’ in ya door

They said you broke the law

Excuses they don't wanna know

They lock you up and throw you in jail

I seen it all before

Maybe like a million times or more, that’s why I keep the toolie in the jar

'Cause I'm nobody's dog

And I know bodies will be on the floor and I don't want it to be me, Lord
