Yeah, yeah oh Yeah, yeah yeah That's the way everyday goes Every time we have no control If the sky is pink and white If the ground is black and yellow It's the same way you showed me Nod my head, don't close my eyes Half way on a slow move It's the same way you showed me If you could fly then you'd feel south Up north's getting cold soon The way it is, we're on land So I'm someone to hold true Keep you cool in this good life Won't let you down when it's all ruined Just the same way you showed me, showed me You showed me love Glory from above Good Glory, dear It's all downhill from here In the wake of a hurricane Dark skin of a summer shade Nose dive in the flood lines Tall tower, milk crate It's the same way you showed me Cannon ball off the porch side Older kids trying off the roof Just the same way you showed me (you showed) If you could die and come back to life Up for air from the swimming pool You kneel down to the dry land Kiss the Earth that birthed you Gave you tools just to stay alive And make it up when the sun is ruined That's the same way you showed me, showed me You showed me love Glory from above Where God could fear It's all downhill from here What a life Remember how it was Climb trees, Michael Jackson, all in this year Say what up to Magic, just shoot Say what up to Penny Say what up to life one more time And I know what you might want to know Run from me and your team Still ain't grabbin six (take it easy) Give me somethin sweet Bitch I might bite, ain't no tellin This is life, life immortality
