Be That Way

Lookin out the window staring at the sky Happens for a reason but what's the reason why It ain't supposed to be that way It ain't supposed to be that way Weather through the storm Lightnin and the thunder Did I take the wrong road I didn't see another It ain't supposed to be that way It ain't supposed to be that way Collect call from department of correction Looking out the window but I see a clear reflection Did I take the wrong direction at the intersection Hear the whispers that I'm different guess it's all perception Lessons that I learned worth the sacrifices made Dues that I paid paved the way to better days Now dreams coming true And this bed that I lay but I slay So I pray that they stay out of my way No hatred in my heart for the friends that up and split Glass half full with Don Julio and guilt My decision crumbled walls in the house that I built Baptized in the puddle can't cry over spilt milk Lookin out the window staring at the sky Happens for a reason but what's the reason why It ain't supposed to be that way It ain't supposed to be that way Weather through the storm Lightnin and the thunder Did I take the wrong road I didn't see another It ain't supposed to be that way It ain't supposed to be that way Jelly Roll My big brother told me go and get it My momma told me ramen noodles and ketchup equals spaghetti I jumped off the porch when I was young and thought I was ready Put the world on my shoulders pretended it wasn't heavy Hear the rumble of the thunder I swear to God I feel the lightnin I've seen it all from closed caskets to sealed indictment The preacher man said Heavens real and I'm still invited But mean while I still feel this feelin inside me Take a moment to relax just to sit back Even on the days that it's sunny my city's pitch black Just to go get the paper willing to pitch packs Is there a heaven for people that really did that Lookin out the window staring at the sky Happens for a reason but what's the reason why It ain't supposed to be that way It ain't supposed to be that way Weather through the storm Lightnin and the thunder Did I take the wrong road I didn't see another It ain't supposed to be that way It ain't supposed to be that way I came home with my mind right feeling stable But Mondo's gone now Tata's been disabled Half the homies back in prison other half just livin Guess I had a different vision that we'd all be chillin Life moves on and takes us different ways We all floatin in the ocean head above the waves I wanna see your face at more than just funerals Life's a hard pill to swallow homie but it's true Lookin out the window staring at the sky Happens for a reason but what's the reason why It ain't supposed to be that way It ain't supposed to be that way Weather through the storm Lightnin and the thunder Did I take the wrong road I didn't see another It ain't supposed to be that way It ain't supposed to be that way
