I've been picking myself off of the floor
Every damn night I might start a war
I got all these problems on my mind
I've been trying hard to survive

This world is cruel
You love then you lose
Until your heart stops

All my life, all my life, all my life
Yeah, I've been told
That's how it, that's how it goes, yeah
You gotta fight on your own
Who needs enemies, friends like these?
When I need them, they don't call
They all got their reason, their demons, they don't know
Devil by my side, tryna take my life
So, so controlled

But that's how it goеs
That's how it goes
That's how it goes
That's how it goes (Yеah)

Slip and fall, getting back up
Body feeling maxed up, taxed up
Came from the bottom, now we up
I remember bottling it up, now I'm on a high
I just take the hand I'm dealt, make the best with it (Make the best with it)
Trouble like a routine, I'ma stealth with it (I'ma stealth with it)
I am not the one for counting out
If I hear 'em talking, drown 'em out
Move through the pain like a pill
My spirit's something you could never kill (Yeah)

All my life, all my life, all my life
Yeah, I've been told (Yeah, I've been told)
That's how it, that's how it goes, love
You gotta fight on your own (Fight on your own)
Who needs enemies, friends like these?
When I need them, they don't call
They all got their reason, their demons, they don't know (They don't know)
Never by my side, tryna take my life
So, so controlled

But that's how it goes
That's how it goes
That's how it goes
That's how it goes (Yeah)
