Tha Way It Iz

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Big Big Shug, Big Big Shug

("And this is the way.. the way..")

("The way it is")

I'm not the, _Lord of the Rings_, I'm the lord of poppin them things

Settin you up, and takin your bling

Hoes love the way I spit it though

Cause of the "Speakerboxxx" they give me "Love Below"

I'm from Murderpan where they raise no snitches

But some cats still do, I navigate

nicely around them cats, you snitch on me?

They find your ass out back

Bein chewed on by the pigeons and the rats

Hollow your body, and that's a fact black

Fo' sure

You not an MC, youse a rapper

Fashion yourself, after Hollywood actors

I ain't hatin on your progression though

Cause for two years now your skills have been in recession yo

No aggression, no passion, no heart

That's when shit, starts to fall apart

More money, more security

Out of touch nigga you can't even feel me

Deadbeat nigga owe money to your kids

That's just the way it is, the way it is

("And this is the way.. the way.."} ("The way it is")

("Now I'm back with the flyest material")

("And this is the way.. the way.."} ("The way it is")

("I got plans for this rap game")

("And this is the way.. the way.."} ("The way it is")

("The look in my eye punk, has got you scared of me")

("And this is the way.. the way.."} ("The way it is")

("The way it is")

Lil' mane, playin the blame game

Can't take the weight, blame it on your mayne

Sound like a bitch, a-gain in the game

When shit's goin smooth you go against the grain

Fake cuckoo, like you goin insane

But won't hold a gun to your motherfuckin brain

You used to be so right, you used to be so tight

Now I wanna knock out your fuckin lights

Fright night nigga, scared of your own shadow

You, you, yes you, you wanna battle?

I'll eat your ass up and stuff you in a barrel

Crush up your bones and feed the pits the marrow

Serious biz, I got out for the scriz

That's just the way it is, the way it is

("And this is the way.. the way.. the way..")

Dat's your wife? I know niggaz that hit that

While you were bangin backs they was blowin out her back

This is wack, cause this is not on the low

But you like Mario, you don't wanna know

Trick like crazy, bills rather large

You go back to the crib screamin like you in charge

I'm in that black car smokin blunts in your yard

Suspect, no guts to be hard

Take you to the river tie your ass to the log

Better yet, how about splittin your wig

That's just the way it is, the way it is

("And this is the way.. the way..")

Yeah this is Big Shug baby, wait no more

This is definitely a sure shot

Holdin it down for the Gang Starr Foundation

Team Shug, and all those

My man T. West, Singapore

My man Guru, Primo! Holdin me down

This is how we move it, CL, this is the one for you man

We gon' take it to the top

That's the way it is [echoes]
