how it is - traverse lyrics
(that’s just how it is, that-that-that, that’s just how it is)
hook:
i guess that that’s just how it is when the poor stay poor and the rich stay rich;
i guess that that’s just how it is when the problems of today are even worse for the kids;
i guess that that’s just how it be when we’re joining every war but there’s one up in our streets;
sometimes it feels that’s exactly how it be when you’re living day-to-day in the land of the free;
verse 1:
in a land where politics is our segregation, lacking knowledge, full of death and hatred;
fueled by education that teaches students only to worry ’bout the next equation on the test their taking;
the next generation for this headless nation;
my head is racing because of it, others are braindead from the gangstas who bustin’ clips;
or making the drugs to give to the youth, so they can escape the truth;
getting faded loose, the blunt is a gun to their brain to shoot;
if it was just once or twice then that’d be fine, but they’re relying on the gas for a happy mind;
they look at cali or colorado as an ill movement but really, illegal or not, man they’d still do it;
for instance, the chi has some of the strictest laws and they’ve got pistols with clips this long always getting drawn;
florida’s crumbling and filled up with trash debris and we’re too much in debt to back up these fatalities;

i guess that that’s just how it is when the poor stay poor and the rich stay rich;
i guess that that’s just how it is when the problems of today are even worse for the kids;
i guess that that’s just how it be when we’re joining every war but there’s one up in our streets;
sometimes it feels that’s exactly how it be when you’re living day-to-day in the land of the free;
verse 2:
in a land where we’re starving in the streets in the same place junk is what we’re targeted to eat;
problems stain us like crimson on some carpeting or sheets;
cancer, shootings, diabetes, it’s all starting to compete;
it seems our heart is incomplete, homie where is the love?;
i know the media sees exactly what scaring us does;
we’re too stingy nowadays, society’s crash victims;
in school cutting each other or someone’s in there blastin’ em;
k!llings over whether blacks illin’ or whites have rhythm when really it’s just a matter of good old fashioned cl-ssism;
the lower ain’t all toting poles and pushin’ drogas flows but i can tell you we’re not all there in the emotionals;
so when we see our people with no hopes or goals, it’s natural to be in a soulless mode havin’ no control;
or maybe you just don’t understand, so brush me off like i’m nothing until i’m a wanted man, yeah;
