Be That Way

Lookin out the window staring at the sky
 Happens for a reason but what's the reason why
 It ain't supposed to be that way
 It ain't supposed to be that way
 Weather through the storm
 Lightnin and the thunder
 Did I take the wrong road
 I didn't see another
 It ain't supposed to be that way
 It ain't supposed to be that way
 Collect call from department of correction
 Looking out the window but I see a clear reflection
 Did I take the wrong direction at the intersection
 Hear the whispers that I'm different guess it's all perception
 Lessons that I learned worth the sacrifices made
 Dues that I paid paved the way to better days
 Now dreams coming true
 And this bed that I lay but I slay
 So I pray that they stay out of my way
 No hatred in my heart for the friends that up and split
 Glass half full with Don Julio and guilt
 My decision crumbled walls in the house that I built
 Baptized in the puddle can't cry over spilt milk
 Lookin out the window staring at the sky
 Happens for a reason but what's the reason why
 It ain't supposed to be that way
 It ain't supposed to be that way
 Weather through the storm
 Lightnin and the thunder
 Did I take the wrong road
 I didn't see another
 It ain't supposed to be that way
 It ain't supposed to be that way
 Jelly Roll
 My big brother told me go and get it
 My momma told me ramen noodles and ketchup equals spaghetti
 I jumped off the porch when I was young and thought I was ready
 Put the world on my shoulders pretended it wasn't heavy
 Hear the rumble of the thunder
 I swear to God I feel the lightnin
 I've seen it all from closed caskets to sealed indictment
 The preacher man said Heavens real and I'm still invited
 But mean while I still feel this feelin inside me
 Take a moment to relax just to sit back
 Even on the days that it's sunny my city's pitch black
 Just to go get the paper willing to pitch packs
 Is there a heaven for people that really did that
 Lookin out the window staring at the sky
 Happens for a reason but what's the reason why
 It ain't supposed to be that way
 It ain't supposed to be that way
 Weather through the storm
 Lightnin and the thunder
 Did I take the wrong road
 I didn't see another
 It ain't supposed to be that way
 It ain't supposed to be that way
 I came home with my mind right feeling stable
 But Mondo's gone now Tata's been disabled
 Half the homies back in prison other half just livin
 Guess I had a different vision that we'd all be chillin
 Life moves on and takes us different ways
 We all floatin in the ocean head above the waves
 I wanna see your face at more than just funerals
 Life's a hard pill to swallow homie but it's true
 Lookin out the window staring at the sky
 Happens for a reason but what's the reason why
 It ain't supposed to be that way
 It ain't supposed to be that way
 Weather through the storm
 Lightnin and the thunder
 Did I take the wrong road
 I didn't see another
 It ain't supposed to be that way
 It ain't supposed to be that way
