T.I. - The Way You Want It lyrics

rate me

(And that's the way that you want it)

This how you want it

It's like that,

It's all good I'll be right back,

That's how you see it,

That's what it is,

This how you feel,

Guess it is what it is

After careful consideration I've concluded tribulations make you great if you're willing to go through it,

They can hate all they want

But in the end whatever god intends to be will be so put your trust in He and not the hearts of men

We often question adversity's purpose stressin'

Not recognizin' the blessin' often missin' the message

Who'da thought I'd emerge from the ruins and the records even better than I was before the automatic weapons

The lesson I took away made my testimony compellin'

Enough to leave an impression on strugglin' adolescents

Who nobody invested put forth the effort or took a second to push it to do their best and promote forward progression

Statistically destined to be arrested

Shot in a second

That hopelessness leads to depression

They disguise as aggression

Tell the federal felon pressin' to earn his way into heaven

Show up or show 'em confessions and opportunities present

Potential is mental your destiny is in your possession

Ambition and education is first and talent is second

You get what you can envision if puttin' me in prison more important than keepin' them out I respect your decision

After the back and forth and you constantly asking for more

Child support I ask what for and you take me back to court, now

I'm in a public tug-o-war for dough I struggle for,

I owe money for my sons, honey, and nothin' more

Do much more than average for my sons that's just ignoring facts

You can get off ya ass and work you don't wanna be f-ckin' poor, that's not quite the issue is it?

It's that we don't f-ck no more,

That's 'sposed to be you who buyin' houses pickin' out the car,

That's 'sposed to be you in benz's, bentley's, fendi and dior that's

Your problem just accept it you and I are never more

And forever we never will just try your best to deal

I rolled around with you for years and I regret it still

And well since you ain't let yourself know,

You look a mess just let yourself go I guess

They say misery love yes, but frankly I'm too blessed

To walk around frowning looking all depressed

Where your self respect to get yourself in check

You disgraced women who work need to put yourself in check

I kept it to myself just cause I felt it wasn't fair

But now I'm pissed to the point I don't care, so there!
