St33ze - The Way Things Are [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[VERSE I]

Well I was hoping for tomorrow
Something I can borrow
When I was just a kid
Super Mario was good enough
To get by
Now I'm grown up
We just want to die
Don't give a fuck about the fact
We living in a lie
All I see is wishful thinking
Selling drugs
Different schemes we
Put together for a little cheddar
Who felt better after sharing cells
The Pent prevailed
But we failed
Didn't take the time out
To care for ourselves

Dusty bookshelves
And empty school chairs
No rules there
One parent home whose always gone
So whose there
Gangstas on the corner saying
"We Care"
I'll be there
Right after school with
My backpack fully prepared
Where did I go wrong
I ask myself after these years
I just tried to make it out the struggle
But wasn't aware
Of this world that I grew up in
Now its so transparent
And I'm staring in amazement
Cause I made it here

[HOOK]

It's just the way things are
People wonder why its so hard (so hard)
It's just the way things are
Reaching but we can't seem to get far
It's just the way things are

It's just the way things are
People wonder why its so hard (so hard)
It's just the way things are
Reaching but we can't seem to get far

[VERSE II]
I'm under so much pressure
Tell me who'll be there to
Learn from my mistakes
Maybe save me from myself
Pave a better way
Cause I don't seem to care enough
Living only for today
It's in the air because
Too much has happened
In my lifetime
And I'm not the type that likes
Making the same mistakes twice
Life comes with a price
Only the strong can survive
But if you're willing to die
You might earn an extra life
Reality hits in the nighttime
That's when I spit legit
Until the pain quits
I write rhymes
Everything I did
I guess I gotta get over it
Moving on to better things
Just thinking positive
My future's so derrogative
But nothing's in the way
Ain't nobody stopping this
I live another day
I should get paid for the struggle
But I can't complain
Cause I know how to hustle
Everyday

[HOOK]

It's just the way things are
People wonder why its so hard (so hard)
It's just the way things are
Reaching but we can't seem to get far
It's just the way things are

It's just the way things are
People wonder why its so hard (so hard)
It's just the way things are
Reaching but we can't seem to get far

You know, it's just the way things are
