Iʼve been picking myself off of the floor
Every damn night I start a war
I got all these problems on my mind
Iʼve been trying hard to survive

This world is cruel
You love then you lose
Until your heart stops

All my life, all my life, all my life
Yeah Iʼve been told
Thatʼs how it, thatʼs how it goes, yeah
You gotta fight on your own
Who needs enemies, friends like these?
When I need them they donʼt call
They all got their reasons, their demons, they donʼt know
Devil by my side, trying to take my life
So so controlled

But thatʼs how it goes
Thatʼs how it goes
Thatʼs how it goes
Thatʼs how it goes

Slip and fall getting back up
Body feelin' maxed up, taxed up
Came from the bottom now we up
I remember bottlin' it up
Now Iʼm on the high
I jus' take the hand Iʼm dealt
Make the best with it (make the best with it)
Trouble like a routine
Imma stealth with it (Imma stealth 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 spirits somethin' you can never kill

All my life, all my life, all my life
Yeah Iʼve been told
Thatʼs how it, thatʼs how it goes, yeah
You gotta fight on your own
Who needs enemies, friends like these?
When I need them they don't call
They all got their reasons, their demons, they donʼt know
Devil by my side, trying to take my life
So so controlled

But thatʼs how it goes
Thatʼs how it goes
Thatʼs how it goes
Thatʼs how it goes
