It Is What It Is - Ras Kass

featuring Jazze Pha 

[Ras Kass] 
I been around the world once  had your fiancé twice 
I ain't nothin' nice  but every lifestyle got a price 
Kiss my momma on the cheek cause her love was deep 
Like Keith Sweat  but the deeper the streets get 
The deeper the beef get 
Enough fatal attraction to ??? your vet 
Cause everybody wanna have it ??? and sh 
Now  ??? is my ??? over night  insight 
I write like six hundred thousand kilobytes 
Yes I'm on one, European cars, Cuban cigars, rap stars, 
Glass ceilings to the inevitable cap dealing for sexual healing 
I lack feeling, voted for black women like Terry Macmillan 
Save a prayer for me, I was told no guts no glory 
I shed a tear once in a while, too 
But a soldier gots to do what he gots to do 
I once ??? in ??? for Rupert Murdoch, I thought you knew 
It is what it is 

Hook: 
[Jazze Pha] Nowadays, that's the way it is 
[Ras Kass] Why do we do what we do when we do what we must, that's 
how it is, and how it is is kinda fucked up 
[Jazze Pha] It's sad to say, but things just ain't the same no more 
[Ras Kass] Why do we do what we do when we do what we lust, it is 
what it is, and how it is is kinda fucked up 

[Ras Kass] 
If the pussy is free, then talk is cheap 
Then again, it's probably cheaper to keep her 
Back in the days, all a nigga needed was suede pumas and a beeper 
Now they all expecting condos, briquettes and pet cheetahs 
See ya when I see ya 
And by then I know the motors she bogus I noticed they jockin the rims on 
the ??? 
I learned early to trust God when moms was like [you wear all that Nike 
shit] 
You need to swoosh your ass and get a job 
My occupation be operation, more horsepower t
