That's How it Is

[Intro] And I really miss It's a shame the way you're doin' me baby It's a shame the way you do that [Chorus]: [x2] I wanna be with you boy, I need you in my life I really miss you It's a shame the way you doin' me baby But I'm tryin' to handle biz and baby that's how it is [Verse One] Well, I'm the new kid on the block that rocks But see it hasn't always been like that Cause I remember back when My mom was broke and I was bummy They nicknamed me Donna Cause every Summer I worked Hard For The Money I scratched and I scrapped to get my raps straight To be the best man Wanted more, never less than Eventually it paid off I got paid Money made off me when I bust Made it possible to live plush Just because I don't rob for loot that don't mean I Have to wear suits like Mr. Bob Dobalina You'll never see me go broke No chance I refuse to be a Jo Jo dancer First I'll handle biz that's how it is [Chorus]: [x2] I wanna be with you boy, I need you in my life I really miss you It's a shame the way you doin' me baby But I'm tryin' to handle biz and baby that's how it is [Verse Two] Well one's for the money Then two's when you should bet it on Ahmad Cause I got more funk then Redman's ? And +Crew's Pop+ but I'm no Younsta So the funks away I make my livin' and I'm driven While brothers get drunk and stay bent I gotta pay rent Just doin' what I can, the man Like tomb rocks out of your boom box And Never gave up Kept up my head, stopped And gave it all got cause it counts The way the balls bounce Even when I didn't make tapes I was the rapper with the soul check it Now that I do I'm that same rapper with a gold record Ain't nothin' changed but the weather and it's still hot Damn, now here's a list of what I still got I still got my family and I still could get betta I still got my homies and I still got my Jetta A better man's me, to do the job cause I'm a veteran Nod your head instead of my misses Be amiss that's how it is [Chorus]: [x2] I wanna be with you boy, I need you in my life I really miss you It's a shame the way you doin' me baby But I'm tryin' to handle biz and baby that's how it is [Verse Three] I bust This time I'm kickin' up dust because you won't hush I gotta make dough but you don't hear me though I hear you'd rather hoo ride So you can shoo fly and just don't bother me When I'm a star you'll be the first one to holler, "We Can do this" I did it way back like Michael Cooper and You threw me out when we lived on Louis Lane Now that I'm Superman You be tryin' to ride all on my jock Cause I rock Like a Spin Doctor, but I guess you learn, like an intern That All play and no work is an antidote to stay broke And I'll never have low income Cause I want it all, and then some Dumb Niggerette, see I figure that I get wreck I'm on the road to riches in showbiz That's how it is [Singing] I can't understand why you do me this way I give you all my love each and every day Don't want my love cause you're blowin' my mind [Chorus]: [x2] I wanna be with you boy, I need you in my life I really miss you It's a shame the way you doin' me baby But I'm tryin' to handle biz and baby that's how it is
