Lester - Way It Goes

〈Intro: Lester〉
Yeah (x2)
Okay (x2)
Oh, yeah

〈Chorus 1: Lester〉
They gon' try to steal your shine
And it's just the way it goes
They gon' stop you from your grind
And it's just the way it goes
You gotta leave 'em all behind man
And It's just the way it goes
Man, that's just the way it goes
Yes, it's just the way it goes
They gon' stop you from your shine
It's just the way it goes
They gon' stop you from your grind
Man, it's just the way it goes
You gotta leave 'em all behind
And it's just the way it goes
Man, that's just the way it goes
Okay, it's just the way it goes (okay, let's go)

〈Verse 1: Lester〉
Away with your negative energy
I am praying for serenity
I'm making peace with my enemies
Even though they tried to put an end to me
I do not blame them cause they can see my future's bright
I cannot shame them cause whatever they doing they not doing right
Anyway I shouldn't fight
At the end of the tunnel is light
At the end of the tunnel is where they gon' tumble and pray that you keeping it cool
I keep it humble and follow the rules like I am a new kid in school
I keep it humble and follow the rules like I am a new kid in school
This is the way they try to take advantage of my kindness, all I get from being modest, all I get from being honest
Honestly I shouldn't be
Coming to your gig if you ain't paying me
If there is no cheque I see
You know that's for the fanily
It's for the fanily

〈Chorus 2: Lester〉
They gon' stop you from your shine
It's just the way it goes
They gon' stop you from your grind and it's just the way it goes
You gotta leave 'em all behind and it's just the way it goes
Man, that's just the way it goes
Okay, it's just the way it goes

〈Verse 2: Adolescent Bambino〉
Deep waters with my enemies but I'm the only one still afloat
World dark like my melanin but I still outshine my niggas
The future's so bright, it'll blind you
Got too much pressure, I'm a diamond
The voice is sugarcoated, that's why the verse sound like candy
Believe me like you believe in god, the bars just came from scriptures
I painted a vivid picture, people wonder, "Can Stevie see it?"
I'm finna be the greatest, it ain't an understatement
It's just the way it goes
You can prolly tell I'm Pisces by the way I flow
They treated me like a seed now they scared to see me grow
I'm evolving by the day and soon enough I will blow
They told me to reach for the moon
But I'm aiming for the stars (woah, shit)

〈Hook: Lester〉
They gon' stop you from your shine
It's just the way it goes
They gon' stop you from your grind and it's just the way it goes
You gotta leave 'em all behind and it's just the way it goes
Man, that's just the way it goes
Okay, it's just the way it goes
