Lecrae - It Is What It Is Lyrics






I’m hearin’ screams and they sayin’ we sold out
But I’m hearin’ screams from the stands cause we sold out, it’s so loud
I got one life so I spend time tryna live 'til the next one
If you don’t like it, cool
It is what it is, it is what it is
It is what it is, it is what it is
My plate too full to sample that dish
It is what it is, it is what it is
I’m handlin' biz, it is what it is
It is what it is, it is what it is

Some like, "I ain’t really feelin' that bruh
I ain’t with religious rap, bruh"
Some sayin' it is devil rap
Illuminati-on-another-level rap
Fell flat from heaven went to hell and back, huh?
A lot of radio ain’t givin' no play, but it’s ok
Cause my day one's been A-1
Before the co-signs and the pros came
Where you been, been boy, boy?
You ain’t been keepin' up
Church Clothes 1 and 2, then Anomaly
You probably need to turn your speakers up
And now I’m on my third tape
And I just might drop it on a Thursday
So tell the industry and my enemy
That your man wouldn’t follow in they rules in the first place
Thirty plus in the residential
In the truck feelin’ presidential
With my girl lookin’ detrimental
Killin' anything tryna to be a side piece out my mental
Outta your mind
You thinkin’ I’m leavin’ my baby by marchin’ for dimes?
You'll get that curve, you way out of line
Gave her that rock, I’m stayin’ with mine
I keep the huddle mad tight, too many players I don’t trust now
You wasn’t with me on the 4th down, huh?
Then you can miss me when I touchdown
And that’s no shade, no shade
It’s just those games, I don’t play
I’m gettin’ wiser with more age
And realizin’ some gonna hate
And that’s ok

I’m hearin’ screams and they sayin’ we sold out
But I’m hearin’ screams from the stands cause we sold out, it’s so loud
I got one life so I spend time tryna live 'til the next one
If you don’t like it, cool
It is what it is, it is what it is
It is what it is, it is what it is
My plate too full to sample that dish
It is what it is, it is what it is
I’m handlin' biz, it is what it is
It is what it is, it is what it is

Hold up
Let me get a minute from the flexin’
Foreign cars and the million dollar jets
And futuristic clothes, feelin’ like a Jetson
Cause keep it trill, it ain’t really that impressive
Blessed, but I ain’t frontin’ with the Grammys or the fame
I’m just stuntin’ with my family unashamed
And cats say, "Crae, you done got it all
In the gym workin' hard, you should show it off!"
Nah, that ain’t never been my forte
"Pride come before the fall", what the Word say
And I’ve been eatin’ off the wordplay
Working hard on the lyrics that the world play
Remember where I came from in the first place
It’s all a gift, every breath is a birthday
So I spend time tryna find all of these souls lost
Cause it’s a wasted time if I got it all and they souls lost
I ain’t tryna to ball
If that’s what you feel then your goals off
It’s a different game tryna get this truth
Put you on and then go off
So, yeah, I may swag at award shows
Get some jet lag from a tour show
Keep a couple abs on my torso
But none of that is gon' matter when the horn blow
I ain’t tryna front for them flashin’ lights
Man they had us, life is a gift
So if last night was my last night, them I’m good
It is what it is

I’m hearin’ screams and they sayin’ we sold out
But I’m hearin’ screams from the stands cause we sold out, it’s so loud
I got one life so I spend time tryna live 'til the next one
If you don’t like it, cool
It is what it is, it is what it is
It is what it is, it is what it is
My plate too full to sample that dish
It is what it is, it is what it is
I’m handlin' biz, it is what it is
It is what it is, it is what it is

  8. K.... H....

    My favorite song😁😁😁😁

  9. L.... C....

    My kids love this song, when they first heard it they kept telling me to play it again and again. My kids arw 16-5. And I have 5 kids. Remember everyone will not like you. God didn't make us to please people but to please him and give him glory. Not everyone will love you but our Heavenly Father said to Love others. Never compare yourself to others, never compare some one to another person and never put someone down to lift up another person. Continue to pray for the body of Christ that we become a people who are less critical and celebrate each other more our younger generation need to see this!!

  10. M.... 8....

    Lecrae I love this song so much

  11. M.... P....

    Logic would sound so nice over this

  12. R.... G....

    it is you right. Christ nation

  13. h.... a....

    People need to understand that NF said it best: "This type of music is not for people who sit in the pews and pray in the churches." In other words he is putting the Bible into modern day context. This is a reference to when Jesus said "It is not the healthy who need a doctor but the sick." Luke 5:31.
    Listen Lecrae, NF, Sho Baraka, and others are Christians but they are now trying to make more mainstream music that appeals to the non-religious crowd. Their goal is to bring non-Christians to Christ. That is why Jesus would hang out with prostitutes, and other societal rejects. So many Christians live in their tiny little bubble and that is not what God wants from us. And hey even if their listeners do not decide to go to check out a church, their music still has positive messages that are not self destructive like many mainstream rappers appear to do.
    So for those who are hating on their style of music, you need to do a reality check and realize they are doing what Jesus told his followers to do.

    h.... a....

    Preach it! That is well said.

    h.... a....

    You got it!

  51. W.... ....

    enjoyed this on his short film crae released like a week ago #116🔥🔥

  52. S.... C....

    I think the hook is briliant.

    S.... C....

    it is what it is man. Lol the hook is sick though, I love it

  53. G.... D....

    I'm gonna sing this song next friday in my church. So wish me luck because i gotta learn this song in 1 week! Plus 2 more

    btw I'm 13 years old! my profile pic is like 6 or 7 years old

    G.... D....

    How would this make sense to sing in church bro? I would understand if it was "Freedom" but I'd see how this lead anyone to Christ in that moment. This is more of a testimony type of song which only lecrae can preform because it's his testimony. Il

    G.... D....

    +Gabriel Dahlberg I agree with Romario, lol. It doesn't make a lot of sense to rap about "your girl" and "abs on your torso", or how you don't brag about Grammy's when you've never been to one. No offense to you though. I guess it's cool to rap, but it just doesn't seem like something that would lead a person to Christ, when you're rapping another's testimony. God bless.

    G.... D....

    Yeah i know, i commented on the wrong video LOL

    G.... D....

    i accedently hit enter. i wasn't done.

    G.... D....

    Well what i meant to say was that i wasn't going to sing this song! i was going to sing  
    "I wouldn't know" But I didn't do that either.
    Love u guys and Jesus loves u too<3! God Bless, PEACE!!

  54. J.... ....

    Good song .

  55. R.... C....

    fire freshness.

  56. A.... K....

    CHURCH CLOTHES 3! IT IS WHAT IT IS

  57. J.... D....
