The World as It Is Songtext
von I Self Devine

Some of us ain′t gon' never get over
And it hurts me to say that it′s over
Some of us ain't gon' never get over
And it hurts me to say that it′s over

If everything I did foul comes to the surface
Bury me underneath where the church is
Pigs coming to my crib tryna lock me
Fools jumping out of vans tryna pop me
Stay calm, listen to my inner thoughts
We give reason to give ′em what them killers bought
Too old for sitting as a convict
In the area cell, it's a conflict
Gotta fall on your face ′til you learn to walk
I was taught you can tell how a sucker talk

Where the victim is, where the weapon is
Whipping is, stripping mask naked in seconds is
Infected with jungle mentality


Disconnected brutality realities
In the kitchen, tryna transition
Meth Lab in the back keep mixing

Some of us ain't gon′ never get over
And it hurts me to say that it's over
Some of us ain′t gon' never get over
And it hurts me to say that it's over

Unemployed, untrained, and we scheming
We got grievance, but no allegiance
Be on defense, be on secrets
Be on cheap shit, stab you to eat quick
No conviction, blame it on the dead and missing
It′s an epidemic, get a F in prison
Which way is up, laying down, staying stuck
Frustrated, underrated, start spraying stuff
I feel boxed in, I feel toxins
With no options, can′t let the cops win

So G, teachers can't fuck with me

Owe one, so they got me on the IEP

Individual Education Program
′Cause I question every page in the program

Accept it, the way that it's gonna be


Substandard, banished to poverty

Some of us ain′t gon' never get over
And it hurts me to say that it′s over
Some of us ain't gon' never get over
And it hurts me to say that it′s over
