It is what it is

I ain't got a dollar in my pocket

I barely got pockets on my jeans

The only pair of jeans I've got well I wear em quite a lot

I can't afford another pair by any means

Momma always said I was gonna do big things

I guess I never really proved my momma right

I only seem to prove folks wrong then I'll write about it in a song

I won't amount to anything it seems

Oooohh take me back to the kid I was

Back before I needed to believe in anything

Oooohh give me back my piece of mind

A piece of myself I lost that I can't find

Somethin inside me broke and it can't be fixed

I have to let you go I can't make it make sense

It is what it is

It is what it is

This hand that I've been dealt ain't gonna work out

I tried to play my cards the best that I know how

I thought I was holdin the queen all night

But my game face was a lie

It turns out I've been holdin the joker this whole time

Oooohh take me back to the kid I was

Back before I needed to believe in anything

Oooohh give me back my piece of mind

A piece of myself I lost that I can't find

Somethin inside me broke and it can't be fixed

I have to let you go I can't make it make sense

It is what it is

It is what it is

Oooohh take me back to the kid I was

Back before I needed to believe in anything

Oooohh give me back my piece of mind

A piece of myself I lost that I can't find

I know I'm gonna have to keep movin on like this

Somethin inside me broke and it can't be fixed

It is what it is

It is what it is
