Close your eyes
It's time to leave this world behind
We're flying away
Higher than space
A place where it's me, the lights and the bass
I always come back down
The same old place in this strange old town
Mind in a daze
Times never change
Trying but nothing is going my way
It is what it is, ay
I'm chasing the highs, they help me get by
It is what it is, yeah ay
I cave to the pressure, could do so much better
It is what it is, yeah ay
Settle for less, so strive to my best
It is what it is, ay
It is what it is, ay
The world is poisoned
If you can't beat them, join them
I was raised in a place where intoxication's confused with enjoyment
If you mix that part of the culture with inflation and unemployment
Then you might just think they created
The world we call home to destroy us
But fuck it let's drink and bill it
Yeah that's gonna lift the spirit
Seemed like a bright idea at the time
But there ain't no wisdom in it
Man didn't know when I slapped two bars on the
Track all the things that would come with it
But I know you will come down if you
Spend your life tryna hit your limit
There's more to life than winning and sinning
Find me somewhere in between
Up late night tryna live the dream
Til temptations wanna intervene, yeah
Caught up in a madness, didn't foresee my current position
Always on a motive, rather regret something
That I did than something I didn't
Idiot with a drink in my hand like Homer Simpson
Jekyll and Hyde, I'm so conflicted
Everyone wanna party, I'm alone and distant
So I tell them hold it down
Ready for peace, homeward bound
Won't be long til I'm back on the cycle, mandem rolling round
It is what it is til it isn't
The devil on your shoulder tryna switch up the position
Just gotta hang tight, never listen
Remember in no time that you'll be back out on a mission
Cos it is what it is, yeah ay
And we ain't backing down, no not today
Cos it is what it is til it isn't, yeah ay
It is what it is, ay
I'm chasing the highs, they help me get by
It is what it is, yeah ay
I cave to the pressure, could do so much better
It is what it is, yeah ay
Settle for less, so strive to my best
It is what it is, ay
It is what it is, ay
Bow bow
Hand on my heart, mind is a melody
Struggle to cope when shit is on mute
I'm at a party, feeling like therapy
Open tequila and telling the truth
Tell em a couple of screws are loose
They don't appear when I'm hitting the booth
They don't appear when I'm sipping a beer
And they don't appear when I listen to Bru-C
Silence is making me lose sleep
I put my head on my pillow
My vision is coloured, it's looking like 2C
B, it keep me awake
Is what it is, it's something I'm saying
I need it keeping me sane
Life is a blur, it's making me hurt
I'm lucky I spent half the year on a plane
Bow bow
Again and again
At end of the summer I'm dropping another
I tell em to dance in the rain
If I'm on a set and people are still
That's one way to give me the pain
I need some dancing, hugging and laughing
That's how I know that we're feeling the same
Hangovers ain't as awful when they're worth it
Nobody's as attractive when they're perfect
That's why music makes you feel like you deserve it
Cos anxiety's a checkpoint when you burst it
Close your eyes
It's time to leave this world behind
We're flying away
Higher than space
A place where it's me, the lights and the bass
I always come back down
The same old place in this strange old town
Mind in a daze
Times never change
Trying but nothing is going my way
It is what it is, ay
