Schoolly D - Sometimes It's Got to Be That Way lyrics

[Flavor Flav] (Show em that we can do this) [scratching of] [Flavor Flav] (Yeeeah boyeee) It got to be that way Sometime it got to be that way [x3] Sittin in my room smokin cheeba And then I heard the beep of my beeper Callin back, "Yo brother, what you need?" Ounce of lleyo and a forty and weed Got in my ride for the drop-off But when I got there it was nothin but a knock-off He said, "Yo, I'm gonna make it clear and simple" And then he put a Uzi to my temple "Damn right Schoolly-School, it's a set-up And if you're smart you just shut up Give me all your gold and your cash So a brother like me'll make a dash Like a bullet from a A.K. Sometime it got to be that way" It got to be that way Sometime it got to be that way [x4] Yo brotherman, I was fakin Who the hell do they think that they're gankin? Always tryin to tell a brother how to live But reality they don't really give (don't give a damn) How to hell you gon' tell me what to do? When I'm livin in the ghetto in the zoo Cause to you I ain't nothin but a n***a And to me you ain't nothin but a s**er and a gold-digger Like a bullet from a A.K. Sometime it got to be that way It got to be that way Sometime it got to be that way [x5] Yo homes, this is what I figure In order for us to get bigger Sometime we got to pull on the trigger Sit back and take a little swigger Of Miller, smoke a little k**er For a brother on the street it's notin but a thriller All this, you're talkin all that But you still sell a brother a cat You didn't know it was the 911 Now they got another brother on the run Like a bullet from a A.K. Sometime it got to be that way It got to be that way Sometime it got to be that way [x4] [guest rapper] My destination I crusade, don't question what I'm doin To keep the brothers hype and leave the s**ers boo-hooin To sway away the sayers that's frontin on what I'm sayin Or trippin, even flippin and knowin I ain't playin And playin, yeah buddy, that's the word Describin all the games bein played in the rock world I would like to do it, liked to tell you, my man But we're in America, I might get banned It got to be that way Sometime it got to be that way It got to be that way Sometime it got to be that way [x3] [Chuck D] (Ba**)
