It got to be that way
Sometime it got to be that way (3X)

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 (4X)

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 nigga
And to me you ain't nothin but a sucker and a gold-digger
Like a bullet from a A.K
Sometime it got to be that way
