Lyrics

It is what it is, it ain’t what it ain’t, it’s gon be what it’s gon be

Acceptance of reality without resistance, acknowledging the inevitable nature of things.

That’s how I look at life right now so I don’t lose no sleep

Adopting a perspective to avoid unnecessary worries and maintain peace of mind.

Don’t make no plans, it’s in God hands, so I stay on my knees

Relying on faith and surrendering to a higher power for guidance and direction.

Ain’t worried bout what you got going, I’m too focused on me

Focusing on personal growth and goals rather than being concerned with others' affairs.

It is what it is, and I’ma be straight, it’s out of my control

Acknowledging the lack of control over certain situations and finding contentment in that realization.

Done met so many snakes, Medusa turned my heart to stone

Encountering betrayal and deception, leading to a guarded and unyielding emotional state.

I take it day by day cause tomorrow I could be gone

Embracing the uncertainty of life, emphasizing the importance of living in the present.

But only God knows, it’s already been wrote

Recognizing that the future is predetermined by a higher power or fate.

Aye aye aye aye

Repetitive vocalizations, possibly expressing emphasis or a personal mantra.

It is what it is, it is what it is, it is what it is, it is what it is

Reiteration of the phrase "It is what it is," emphasizing the acceptance of circumstances.

It is what it is, it is what it is, it is what it is, it is what it is

It is what it is, it is what it is, it is what it is, it is what it is

Aye aye aye

It is what it is, it is what it is, it is what it is, it is what it is

These the words I live by, this is my philosophy

Describing a personal philosophy based on pragmatism and resilience.

Stack and pray, stay out the way, so Lord knows ain’t no stopping me

Combining diligence ("Stack and pray") with a low-profile approach to avoid obstacles.

Seen some folks that claim they solid turn around and flop on me

Experiencing betrayal from supposed loyal individuals and questioning their integrity.

Heard my business in the streets, wonder how they got the drop on me

Expressing surprise at the revelation of personal information in public.

But it is what it is, you gotta keep it real

Highlighting the importance of honesty and authenticity in interpersonal relationships.

If you still stressing bout the past, then how you gon heal?

Encouraging letting go of past grievances for personal healing and growth.

Didn’t expect 12 to show no mercy but I’m glad they did

Reflecting on a potential encounter with law enforcement and feeling fortunate for mercy.

Couldn’t let my mama get that call saying she lost her kid

Expressing the desire to protect loved ones from distressing news or events.

I done lost some friends, I done made some foes

Experiencing the loss of friendships and the challenge of distinguishing friends from foes.

I done lost my mind, I done lost my soul

Conveying struggles with mental and spiritual challenges amid life's difficulties.

But thru it all I’ll never fold

Declaring resilience and determination to withstand life's trials without yielding.

Can’t complain, this the life I chose

Expressing contentment and acceptance of the chosen life path, avoiding complaints.

I done took L’s like the next man but I’m blessed so I can’t get off track

Acknowledging setbacks but maintaining gratitude for blessings and avoiding distractions.

Swear I done charged so much to the game, feel like it owe me back

Feeling entitled to reciprocation from life for the challenges faced and overcome.

It is what it is, it ain’t what it ain’t, it’s gon be what it’s gon be

Reiteration of the central theme, emphasizing acceptance and lack of control over outcomes.
