Elijah Yates - The Way It Should Go lyrics

Verse I understand the math and our laws or laws that was put in place to break our jaws Praying to a god only when it hard times And wondering if he exist and what's our cause Hard times living on ground mine Another black men in jail doing hard time What it takes to make a n***a see the stop sign Would it take another king to change the hard times But back when child eating cereal no worries in the clouds kick back on Saturday and watch cartoons in my room And feeling like a king that was misunderstood Feeling like a king that was doing his own thing To worry about a system trying to control me You know I got it handle like a old school beat And if I make it know my n***as gonna eat My n***as gonna eat and life is gonna repeat Chorus I wish that I can go back to when I was 4 As a child in school on the playground you know I wish that I can go back to when I was 4 No worries in the world that's the way it should go Verse That's the way it should go I want to live life in clouds Reminiscing as a child wanna make mama proud And the way things going got me feeling like I drown Drown in the waters of life's pond Wasted time got to move forward with everyone with the times Soon to be 21 but it feels like I been making music since I was 5 Gonna need a lifeline or they gonna have to put this on life times I understand it's right time plus I got the right mind To give the people the right vibe that's the twisted poet line That's the twisted poet line Brain is like a gold mine flow got me twisted like a wrapper I'm that rapper lets call it high times Yup let's call it high times Chorus
