I've been picking myself off of the floor
Every day, I might start a war
I got all these problems on my mind
I've been trying hard to survive

This world is cruel, you love and you lose
Until your heart stops

All my life, all my life, all my life
Yeah, I've been told
That's how it, that's how it goes, love
You gotta fight on your own
When I need them, they don't go
They all got their reason, my demons they don't know
Never by my side, tryna take my life, social control

But that's how it goes
That's how it goes
That's how it goes
That's how it goes (yeah)

Slip and fall, getting back up
Body feeling maxed up, taxed up
Came from thе bottom, now we up
I remembеr bottling it up, now I'm on a high
I just take the hand I'm dealt, made the best with it (made the best with it)
Trouble like a routine, on myself with it (by myself with it)
I am not the one for counting out
If I hear 'em talking, drown 'em out
Move through the pain like a pill
My spirit's something you could never kill (yeah)

All my life, all my life, all my life
Yeah, I've been told (yeah, I've been told)
That's how it, that's how it goes, love
You gotta fight on your own (fight on your own)
When I need them, they don't go
They all got their reason, my demons they don't know (they don't know)
Never by my side, tryna take my life, social control

But that's how it goes
That's how it goes
That's how it goes
That's how it goes (yeah)
