It's Just How It Is

by Karl Nova

on For Such a Time as This (2017)

It's just how it is
It's just how it is
It's crazy

It's just how it is
It's just how it is


Yo I'm coming straight out of London
City of my birth that's where I come from
I've been underground in the dungeon
For such a time as this in the kingdom
I've come
From my own self I've run
Going back to my roots is what I've done
Before I leave and while the mic's on
My poetry will speak and shine on
Back to my roots
But I still branch out showing fruit
It all stems from seeking the truth
It took root now I'm speaking the truth
I'm not the talk of the town
I'm unknown as I'm walking around
Head in the clouds as I'm pouring it down
But I'm grounded with feet on the ground
I'm deep in the sound this kingdom sound
I'm breathing it out i feel like I'm crowned
Sorrow cannot leave me drowned
Though I have cried oceans no doubt
After the music stops
Just call me an anomaly
The system didn't ever plan for this
So they can't define me properly

It's just how it is
It's just how it is
It's crazy

It's just how it is
It's just how it is
You feel me?


They say all life is a stage
Does that mean that we all acting?
Reciting from a script's page
Playing roles that we've been handed?
I don't know about that
And I don't really know how to act
And I don't remember an audition
But life has drama that's a fact
And I feel like I'm improvising
Freestyling like I do on tracks
Am I missing cues? Have I lost the plot?
Man I need to relax
Cool off, calm down
Ooops that is another song
I get hyped up when I'm switched on
Substance can be found in this song
Since my ten toes touched London
It's been drama since I was born
I'm living out the uncut version
This is the soundtrack for certain
After the music stops
Just call me an anomaly
The system didn't ever plan for this
So they can't define me properly

It's just how it is
It's just how it is
It's crazy

It's just how it is
It's just how it is
You feel me?

They must think that I'm crazy
Out of this world so spacey
But I'm free though they're cagey
It's just how it is lately

It's just how it is
It's just how it is
It's crazy

It's just how it is
It's just how it is
You feel me?
