TheWayItIs Lyrics by Joe Sung-Rae

Happyboy

2019

[Verse 1]
Isn’t it weird that considering suicide’s the norm?
Not saying I’m the exception, I just wanna come to terms
We all got baggage on this planet, and we’d rather rage quit
Than live a life we never asked for, QVC selling
We’re not the intelligent
We’re the embellishment
Surviving: the Revenant;
Develop the etiquette
We’ve grown from the tenements
But still fight over melanin
Find ourselves chasing Amy right alongside Kevin Smith
Halting progress like I’m infrastructure
Ghosting friends like Sam and Tucker
Default plans like “Go to Rutgers”
Label me that Asian motherfucker
You be talking to
Talking smack is kinda rude
Off the shit you kinda do
Isn’t it your hobby?
It’s my outlet, call me Hobby Lobby
I know that you’ve heard this, a J. Coal figure, a Carbon Copy
Take it back to the top, string me along for the high
Cause I don’t wanna die tonight
(Oh he can write after all)
[Hook]
That’s
That’s the way it is
Honey that’s the way it is
That’s the way it is
Well, fuck
Fuck the way it is
I ain’t settling for shit
Fuck the way it is
[Verse 2]
I’m fucking sick of waiting on people to keep their promises
Nauseous of succumbing to my inner awkwardness
I can’t help that shit, my mama raised me well
Sacrificing my soul isn’t worth this social hell
Dad gon’ take a bite, and say he “don’t want it to melt”
Stick an arrow through me, to impress like Billy Tell
I’m all that and a side of fries, served by Kenan and Kel
What do I gotta do to demonstrate the proof
Remember when we didn’t think about the truth
Back when that “th” sound evaded lingual youf
They fly in a TARDIS while I’m stuck inside a booth
They map out their lives while I’ll just trace a W
When is it my turn? Cause I’ve heard that happiness is just around the river-bend, I can’t wait to hear the end of this sad-ass song
[Refrain]
Where did I go wrong?
Where did I go wrong?
Where did I go wrong? Wrong?
Where did I go wrong?
Where did I go wrong?
Where did I go wrong? Wrong?
Where did I go wrong?
[Verse 3]
This shit’s going pretty south
How many times can Joseph be conflicted with the Kryptic now
Started with this shit when I was living on a numbered route
Compromise is easy if it’s something you don’t think about
Cause there’d be nights where I would try to close my eyes, like a hundred times
Sterilize my brain until those memories were neuralized
But thinking bout those lies or binary decisions
Ignorance is bliss, but bliss ain’t living
[Hook]
That’s
That’s the way it is
Honey that’s the way it is
That’s the way it is
Well, fuck
Fuck the way it is
I ain’t settling for shit
Fuck the way it is
