Pragmatic - It Is What It Is (feat. Georgia Burashko)

It is what it is
Is what it is
Is what it is
Yeah, this a big T-H-A-N-K Y-O-U ya dig
To ones who believed and the ones who never thought I would do it big
Cuz your words were encouragement promise you all of em I took em in
They say nothing is for certain, but being great? It is what it is

Yeah I started on the MARTA
From the West side
Y'all prolly know that by now
This is where the block hot
You might hear a glock pop
Be cool, that aint unfamiliar sound
Stats say West side babies ain't gon make it out, huh
West side babies gon face a drought, huh
West side babies only chasing clout
Aight, imma see what that's about
See I was born an outlier outlined in black paint
But my folks told me ain't a thing I can't
Do go far, go hard, no restraints
I said you sure
They said yeah
I said bet
There's some things that you gotta know to stay in check
Rule number 3: Make sure to get that check
Rule number 2: Always show respect
Rule number 1: God gon give you tests
So keep Him first stand firm and just do your best
Put in work but ensure that you get your rest
I said cool, lemme use my tools and get to building
Brain start to complain cause I'm pushing the ceiling
Millimeters to get a lil closer to making millions
Ain't a villain I never did no killing except the grades
It's a couple times that I made an F
But I didn't let it faze me
Only grew my focus
My city wanna cage me
I'm flying like a locust
They say jail's in my genes on a locus
Imma black male with a dream yo that's bogus
But I know scales let em sing when the notes hit
Diverse yeah they notice
The kids that is
I never mix
My measurements
Are not they style I never fit
I'm set aside
I'm dead alive
Adapt or die
I mapped a lie
I'm trapped in fly
My tractor died
Field went fallow
Pop another perc won't feel this battle
Need some Holy Water cause the creek real shallow
Walking on rocks slipped up then I scraped my shin
Saw the blood then I knew I had to face within
180 Then I'm back on my pace again
Yeah my race to win
Cuz they wanna see me down, down, down
Lower than the ground, ground
Yeah I was but I'm up like a mound going to the top like a crown
Sniffing like a hound for the pounds, or the yen, or the pesos
Ariary ain't much but I'll take those
Been around the world couple times
Cause I had to get out
I'm bigger than trout
Bigger than salmon
Felt so much relief when I learned that life's bigger than mammon
It's about these relationships
So if I make a new friend bet I'm placing chips
I might have to dip
But just know that I'm coming back taking trips
Cause what's a life if you stressing to live
Never patient only taking and got nothing to give
See I got to where I am
Cause of people with hope
Saw the waves crashing on a kid holding the rope
See I got to where I am cause they saw me a joke
Made a way I was sick of people telling me nope
See I got to where I am cause I trusted in God
Was a solo orca then He gave me a pod
See I got to where I am cause I made a decision
Had a dream woke up then I trusted my vision
You can do the same thing when you wake up get to the mission
You got a key, just turn the ignition

This a big T-H-A-N-K Y-O-U ya dig
To ones who believed and the ones who never thought I would do it big
Cuz your words were encouragement promise you all of em I took em in
They say nothing is for certain, but being great?
It is what it is
It is what it is
Is what it is
It is what it is
Is what it is
Being great? It is what it is
