Lyrics for Just How It Is (Sometimes)
Man, Ma, I know you got a big cabin up there Wish you were still here though (All you mother— are liars, all of you All you do is lie, lie, lie, lie, lie) If you were still here to watch me deal with this shit (Why you gotta mix with your— huh? Huh? Is that the only Part of your body that has a brain? Huh? Is that it?) Ayo, don't point at me (And you too, Dad, you too) (What I gotta do with it?) (You a dog too, all of you) It was a rough day, guaranteed tough day What like to find out Mr. Love-Of-Your-Life's a canine Sniffin' around, allow the female's tail But is this not what was said from day one to day none? Anyhoo, he did what they do and left you screamin' on ten "Death to all men" has got you scrollin' through all your pics Deletin' any evidence that he was in your mix Of course your friends call, rummagin' for gossip Sayin' they hope his manhood get touched by God's whip From the start of time Man's anatomy and calamity has been aligned But back to the purge You just deleted the pic from when he gave you that money to splurge And the one of y'all in Furr's headin' to Brazil (And) The one in Hollywood by the sign on the hill (And) The video of y'all takin' pics of your meals And edits to remove his So you don't have to put entire pics in the trash Voilà , he's gone But the pain in your heart's still singin' a song And your eyes are achin', blood pressure bakin' Knocked down and found in regret 'Cause you realize you gave time to a man Who chose to bring beach to the sand Hey there, he didn't play fair Now you're no longer a pair That's how it is That's how it is, sometimes Just how it is sometimes That's how it is, sometimes Just how it is sometimes He told you was forever But caused you some stormy weather That's how it is That's how it is, sometimes Just how it is sometimes It's just how it is sometimes It's just how it is Hold on, y'all, let me get the door Come on in, she's right over there, speakin' in her mother's tongue (Coño ese maldito papagüevo con tu hija De la— ¡Yo le voy a romper la maldita—!) Now here's your bestie sayin' the mess he Caused is the reason you should be lesbi' You strictly D, but still know the fee Paid in time wasted, so yes, he Continued to be removed from your menu of pics Like when he fixed your hair Doing five screenshots in a row (Please) The one where he made angels in the snow (Girl, delete) A vid where he says forever y'all grow Tossed in a digital bonfire And everyone's mad that he has diminished your glow So y'all wanna set his - on fire And any voice of reason not welcome to the talk And if you ain't here to hate, back away, take a walk You crowned him lowlife, she ain't talkin' Polo Your social profile screams that she now solo DM's and texts flood in 'cause it's seen That you're publicly scrubbin' your photo gallery clean While you post memes how you're gonna stand strong Voilà , he's gone But the pain in your heart's still singin' a song And your eyes are achin', blood pressure bakin' Knocked down and found in regret 'Cause you realize you gave time to a man Who chose to bring beach to the sand Queen of the didn't understand Hey there, he didn't play fair Now you're no longer a pair That's how it is That's how it is, sometimes Just how it is sometimes That's how it is, sometimes Just how it is sometimes He told you was forever But caused you some stormy weather That's how it is That's how it is, sometimes Just how it is sometimes It's just how it is sometimes It's just how it is Look, love, I swear, you'll get past this, you know? And every man ain't bad, baby I don't even trust the word "man" Not even Aquaman? That - talk to fish, but ain't man? Are you kidding me? They're not even real What?
