[Intro]
Yeah
No rewind, no debate
Look at it straight
[Verse 1]
The coffee went cold, the train pulled out
Rent due Friday, still figuring out
Phone full of numbers that I don't call back
One door locked, so I learned a new path
I used to wrestle every fact on the floor
Now I read the sign and I reach for the door
No tears for a road that was never my route
Some things don't workβlet βem work themselves out
[Pre-Chorus]
Couldβve stayed mad, couldβve made a scene
Couldβve built a whole house out of βwhat you mean?β
But the truth came plain, no glitter, no disguise
I took one breath and looked it in the eyes
[Chorus]
It is what it is, let it sit where it sits
I canβt change that hand, but I can play my chips
If the rain comes down, Iβma move through the mist
No pretending, no panicβit is what it is
It is what it is, yeah, Iβm done with the fight
Iβll accept this moment, then Iβm shaping the next right
Call it what you want, I call it handling business
Head high, feet firmβit is what it is
[Verse 2]
Friend turned distant, I donβt chase that train
Plans fell apart, I rebuilt with the remains
Missed one shot, still got breath in my chest
A loss is a lesson with a different address
I donβt need a villain, I donβt need applause
I can own my mistake without drowning in flaws
What I couldnβt control doesnβt control me today
I put the facts on the table, then I clear the way
[Pre-Chorus]
Couldβve stayed mad, couldβve made a scene
Couldβve fed old fires till they swallowed me
But the truth came plain, no glitter, no disguise
I took one breath and looked it in the eyes
[Chorus]
It is what it is, let it sit where it sits
I canβt change that hand, but I can play my chips
If the rain comes down, Iβma move through the mist
No pretending, no panicβit is what it is
It is what it is, yeah, Iβm done with the fight
Iβll accept this moment, then Iβm shaping the next right
Call it what you want, I call it handling business
Head high, feet firmβit is what it is
[Bridge]
Not giving up, Iβm giving up the weight
Not calling it fair, Iβm accepting the state
One thing I can steer when the whole world shifts:
My next move, my own hands, my own lips
[Final Chorus]
It is what it is, let it sit where it sits
I canβt change that hand, but I can play my chips
If the rain comes down, Iβma move through the mist
No pretending, no panicβit is what it is
It is what it is, say it plain, no fear
What is gone is gone, what is next is here
Call it what you want, I call it handling business
Head high, feet firmβit is what it is
[Outro]
No rewind
No disguise
It is what it is
And Iβm still alive
