Show em that we can do this
Yeeeah boyeee
It got to be that way
Sittin in my room smokin cheeba
And then I heard the beep of my beeper
Callin back Yo brother what you need
Ounce of lleyo and a forty and w**d
Got in my ride for the drop off
But when I got there it was nothin but a knock off
He said Yo I'm gonna make it clear and simple
And then he put a Uzi to my temple
D**n right Schoolly School it's a set up
And if you're smart you just shut up
Give me all your gold and your cash
So a brother like me'll make a dash
Like a bullet from a A K
Sometime it got to be that way
It got to be that way
Yo brotherman I was fakin
Who the hell do they think that they're gankin
Always tryin to tell a brother how to live
But reality they don't really give
Don't give a d**n
How to hell you gon' tell me what to do
When I'm livin in the ghetto in the zoo
Cause to you I ain't nothin but a n***a
And to me you ain't nothin but a sucker and a gold digger
Like a bullet from a A K
Sometime it got to be that way
It got to be that way
Yo homes this is what I figure
In order for us to get bigger
Sometime we got to pull on the trigger
Sit back and take a little swigger
Of Miller smoke a little killer
For a brother on the street it's notin but a thriller
All this you're talkin all that
But you still sell a brother a cat
You didn't know it was the 911
Now they got another brother on the run
Like a bullet from a A K
Sometime it got to be that way
It got to be that way
My destination I crusade don't question what I'm doin
To keep the brothers hype and leave the suckers boo hooin
To sway away the sayers that's frontin on what I'm sayin
Or trippin even flippin and knowin I ain't playin
And playin yeah buddy that's the word
Describin all the games bein played in the rock world
I would like to do it liked to tell you my man
But we're in America I might get banned
It got to be that way
Sometime it got to be that way
It got to be that way
