about

"The Way it Goes' is the process of recovery after the brutal betrayal from the "storm in disguise" and Faballistic's steps to move on both socially and mentally.

lyrics

INTRO
Uh!
(singing) That’s the way it goes…my baby.
Yo!

VERSE
I lost the love of my life
And now I’m losin’ my mind;
She was so unique
And now harder to find;
Yo I could go and search
But time keeps freezin’;
I always gain ‘bad’ lose ‘good’
God’s teasin’;
I stopped to pump gas
And my card was cashed out;
Already lost my job
How to afford gas now?!
Electric or water
Which to pay first?
Hard to decide
With no green papers!
Hit my friends up
‘cause now I need some h*es;
But we don’t do shit
No ideas to propose;
No doe, no joke,
No sluts, just us;
Could be even worse
Or the best just sucks;
My thoughts are empty
Like my brain’s leaking;
Can’t tell the truth from a lie
Each time, I try speaking;
Every thought’s stalled;
I’m laid with limbs sprawled
And a hemorrhage is called;
Do I need to adjust
Or adjusted too much?
When my love returns
I’ll be with my new crush; no
Educated guess
It’s my life’s luck;
If today’s the first of the rest
Well then I’m f*cked;
Why bother getting laid
If life f*cks me?!
Life gives YOU lemons?
It hands me nothing;
So enjoy your juice
I hope it’s pulp free;
Depression’s addictive
My beer has engulfed ME;
I’ll wait for life
To turn away its back;
So when my day shines
That’s when I’ll attack;
And I Ain’t out of wack
That’s the damn plan!
When life hits me hard
I hit back like a man.

HOOK
That’s the way it goes
My baby;
Just the way it goes
Life’s crazy;
And I don’t really know
Where life takes me
But that’s the way it goes
Life lately;
It keeps playing tricks on me;

BRIDGE
(La la la)

VERSE 2
I’ve lost most of my friends
Ain’t nothin’ new ‘bout that;
Same sh*t, different day
Spinnin’ way, too fast to catch;
But it’s a day
That we all have;
For me it’s way too often
To be so lost in;
I try not to make
My night similar;
But as I look around
It’s too familiar;
I’m stuck in a rut
Trynna dig myself out;
I’ll pour the liquor
And await my next round;
A.A. ain’t too late
‘cause it’s too early;
I contemplate as I awake
Sipping one serving;
Just another day
Which never starts right;
Can’t concentrate
Or stay in the right frame of mind;
I’m sitting here blind;
And I’m thinking ‘bout the one
Who’s still hard to find;
Who am I today?
I don’t think I wanna know;
The more I try to leave
The more I won’t go;
I know it sounds dumb
But to me it makes sense;
To me, ya the joke
You go and tell all ya friends;
Everyone seems grown
I must be getting older;
Bartender hit me!
Take the shot like a soldier;
I’ll propose a toast!
Another ‘dumb’ thing;
Celebrate life today
And make it mean something;
I took the day slow
So I’ll live the night fast;
And I’ll only leave drunk
If I have the cash;
To call a damn cab
Otherwise I’ll pass;
If death don’t cover tabs
Then death can kiss my ass;
Life will always try
To leave and keep me trapped;
The jokes on both
I’ll find another path.

HOOK 2
That’s the way it goes
My baby;
Just the way it goes
Life’s crazy;
And I don’t really know
Where life takes me
But that’s the way it goes
Life lately;
It keeps playing tricks on me;
