I've been picking myself off of the floor
Every damn night, I 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 reasons, their demons, they don't know
Devil by my side, trying to take my life
So, so controlled
But that's how it goes (ooh-ooh, ooh)
That's how it goes (ooh-ooh, ooh)
That's how it goes (ooh-ooh, ooh)
That's how it goes (ooh-ooh, ooh) (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Slip and fall, getting back up (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Body feeling maxed up, taxed up (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Came from the bottom now we up (up)
I remember bottling it up (up)
Now I'm on the high (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 can never kill
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, yeah
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 reasons, their demons, they don't know (they don't know)
Devil by my side, trying to take my life
So, so controlled
But that's how it goes (ooh-ooh, ooh)
That's how it goes (ooh-ooh, ooh)
That's how it goes (ooh-ooh, ooh)
That's how it goes (ooh-ooh, ooh) (yeah)
