This just seem so right

That's just the way it is

Happy Birthday Tupac
And uh Happy Juneteenth
I know Pac birthday was like
Three days ago

He just a young man tryna find his way
11 pm riding by some estates
Like
That's gon be me one day
Watch
Nigga I'm telling you
Then brights came on
Then some lights came on
(Woop Woop Woop Woop)
And he thought nigga chill
And you might get home
Ten feet away they got out they car
With they hands on they hip
And they safety switched off
He asked could he sit
And would they search his bag
He said you got my permission
They don't even have to ask
They got a call about suspicion
And he fit the description
Plus he didn't have lights
At night for his bike
And he had his C.D.'s packaged
Now they asking for
Permit, License and Taxes
(Man this straight harassment)
Nothing different than the kids when he went to Gattis
Just a Junior getting High tryna numb the madness
Is you Blood or Cuz
Plus the Ese's is stabbing
Ha
For they piece injustice in the streets
(That's just the way it is)
Gotta look out for the Opps
And the punk police
But yet and still
He rose out the concrete

From the darkness climbing
(That's just the way it is)
I made it through and found me
(That's just the way That's just the way it is)
I'm the Rose that Grew from
(That's just the way it is)
A crack in the concrete
(Somethings will never change)

I can't bite my tongue
It's no time to be quiet
(No)
Stand up and say something
They killing us with silence
(Yeah)
And then got the nerve
To question the Violence
(The violence)
Don't want to focus on the cause
Instead the Riots
(The riots)
That's like looking at the fruit
And not the Root
(Oh)
The room get quiet
Ready, Set, Go, Excuse
(Ooh)
And we ain't got the time for it
(No)
What's more important
Is resorting
And shifting our buying forces
(Yeah)
Cause all they respect is the dollar
(That's just the way it is)
So if that's how it's gon be
Then we all gotta
Fall in line
Help ya brother out
Lift him up and let him shine
And do it for ya sistas double time
Cuzz
Every king need a queen by his side
(By his Side)
Cause that's where she resides
(Yeah that's where she resides)
And I told her I would never make it out
Without her seeing sunshine

From the darkness climbing
(Climbing)
I made it through and found me
(I found I found me)
I'm the Rose that Grew from
A crack in the concrete

And that's just the way it is
That's just the way (That's just the way it is)
That just the way it is
Things will never be the same

That's just the way
That's just the way (That's just the way it is)
That just the way it is
Awe Yeah
