PLANTATION

what it is, what it is, what it is
what it is, what it is, what it is
what it is, what it is, what it is
what it is, what it is, what it is

it's just two bald boys in a trailer park
just two bald boys in a trailer park
just two bald boys in a trailer park

the soul feels old
but it looks much younger
break-fast
like I just left slumber
heave load
'cuz I can't stop hunger
know what I know
but I can't stop wonder

seen what it is
dreamed what it should be
live as I live
'cuz I know what I could be
fight the good fight
humble 'em all
still
I might stumble and fall

but I get back up
'cuz I just can't cave
even if I never really
get what I gave
it's a two-way street
and it goes both ways
so I sow my seeds
while I dig my grave

dig my soil
pick my brain
flood this field
like I slit my vein
yup, bust 'til I
reap my grain
y'all oughta hush
'til you reach my plane

gotta lotta dreams
but they don't come true
gotta lotta schemes
but they all fall through
seen what you see
but you don't know truth, man
they gotta trees but they
don't bear fruit
gotta lotta trees but they
don't bear fruit
gotta lotta trees but they
don't bear fruit
seen what you see
but they don't know truth, man
they gotta lotta trees but they
don't bear fruit
[it is what it is, it is what it is]

lives so young
but he still gets older
dressed in the clothes
of a vet or a soldier
vexed if he lets y'all
step any closer
set to accept
all the rest of the loners

set to collect
'cuz he knows he knows right
set to invest
'cuz he owns his own life
oh, so he goes his own way
stressed when he is
but he knows he's okay

alright, life moves on
still feel like I gotta
right these wrongs
still feel like I gotta
fight these throngs
like, when I gotta
write this song

built - on a beat
made by Timms
my words
hang like fruit
on the limbs
of a tree
from a seed he planted
I just hope
y'all cats understand it

gotta lotta dreams
but they don't come true
gotta lotta schemes
but they all fall through
seen what you see
but you don't know truth, man
they gotta trees but they
don't bear fruit
gotta lotta trees but they
don't bear fruit
gotta lotta trees but they
don't bear fruit
seen what you see
but they don't know truth, man
they gotta lotta trees but they
don't bear fruit
[it is what it is, it is what it is]
