This Is The Way

This the way, is the way it's supposed to be
(Is this the way?)
This is the way that I say that it's gonna be
(Is this the way?)
This is the way, is the way it's supposed to be
This is the way that I say that it's gonna be
(Let's go)

Y'all niggas heard it
Through the grapevine (what's that?)
Expect I'm gonna take mine (yeah)
Name of the game is
"Get in where you fit in" (what?)
Dog, I fit in at the beginning (woo)

Cats livin' (oh, what?)
Jumpin' out the window (oh)
Where money go
Yo, right out the window
Where's there's rock and roll?
I lock and load
Shut 'em down
Open up a shop, oh, no

I'm no angel, I'm no savior
And I've never been a saint
Well, I know I'm not the devil
'Cause I still can feel the pain
Walk through fire and through brimstone
And there were no pearly gates
I'll be sure to ask about it
Tell me

Is this the way
Is the way it's supposed to be?
(Is this the way?)
This is the way
That I say that it's gonna be
(Let's go)

Let me go, nigga
Back up off me (yeah)
Dog got the cage (what?)
Cats walk softly (what?)
Talk real lightly (yeah)
Scared to bite me (yeah)
Scared to death to shoot me
Scared to fight me (whoo-hoo)

In the street, niggas just
Playin' the wrong game
Up in the real nigga face
Saying the wrong thing (c'mon)
Real shit, this is how
A dog get down
Hands in the air
Whenever dog hit town

I'm no angel, I'm no savior
And I've never been a saint
Well, I know I'm not the devil
'Cause I still can feel the pain
Walk through fire and through brimstone
And there were no pearly gates
I'll be sure to ask about it
Tell me

Is this the way
Is the way it's supposed to be?
This is the way
That I say that it's gonna be

I'm no angel, I'm no savior
And I've never been a saint
Well, I know I'm not the devil
'Cause I still can feel the pain
Walk through fire and through brimstone
And there were no pearly gates
I'll be sure to ask about it
Tell me

Is this the way
Is the way it's supposed to be?
(Is this the way?)
This is the way
That I say that it's gonna be
