Woke up
Wipe the eye booger feeling fresh (feeling fresh)
My cat knocked all the books up off my desk
Fuck it, look up to my left
One clip left
I lit and and ingest
One sip left
I hit it I confess (I confess)
Yup I sip it with regret
Fuck it, wifey sleep late (she sleeps late)
Give that ass a slap before wakes
Buckets that's what I make
Ruckus uh that's what I make
It stuck with us yup
Get bucked for the day
Hit my bruddas up ay
What the fuck is up? Ay
Man what you gotta say?
As I lie in my dusty old bed no sheets on
My cats walking over my head, they testy
They wanna be fed
No more drinking on an empty
Make me some eggs
Take me some stems
Start my day
What's the effects I could hardly say
And what's next? for tomorrow I pray
And what's next? walk to the train
And what's next after that?
I don't write this only God could say
It's just the way that I am
This how I live
I do what I do
It's just the way that I am
Minding my business
I ain't checking for you
The way they are
Pisses me off
The way they talk the shit that they spew
That's just the way that they are
They do that cause they can't do what we do
These fake fans turn analyst
Shit is scandalous
Do no creating
But they always come with a rating and a list
Armchair engineers, A&R's and managers
If they was real, I been would have had the crown unanimous
Don't even listen and they hung up on the mannerism
Under the impression every lyricist is Canibus
So much hate in New York I stay in Los Angeles
Or with my circle round the A like anarchist
Being a genius has its disadvantages
Y'all think its glamorous
Lames on rap genius wanna speak for the God like televangelist
I'd rather be a cable news panelist
They already tried to hijack my narrative
But before that nobody cared who I was and where I lived
Wasn't no one around when my life was gloomy
So I'ma carry on like they never even knew me
Cause they don't
It's just the way that I am
This how I live
I do what I do
It's just the way that I am
Minding my business
I ain't checking for you
The way they are
Pisses me off
The way they talk the shit that they spew
That's just the way that they are
They do that cause they can't do what we do
Pardon me
Don't be startled by the honesty
Don't start with me
The blood that runs in my arteries
A drunk mutt that's my pedigree it's part of me
Told you that when I started b
Whether at the party saucy or at the park acting awkwardly
There's a lot of mes
That's just the way that I am that's how it oughta be
Along with all the oddities
After my odyssey
Find peace under the olive tree
I'm me
I'm Weezy, it's Carter 3
Talk to me off go off on you I'm Cardi B
Ask myself is this path I took my destiny
Or just the obvious trajectory
I guess either way It's meant to be
Will I eventually
Do what I was sent to do be who was sent to be
Even try to attempt to be
B, Yo b look
Will I be successful?
Or just the one with the most potential
Close to special
Never knew the name but influential
See, when the game gets suspenseful
The rain get torrential
I just, I just gotta maintain
It's just the way that I am
This how I live
I do what I do
It's just the way that I am
Minding my business
I ain't checking for you
The way they are
Pisses me off
The way they talk the shit that they spew
That's just the way that they are
They do that cause they can't do what we do
