[HOOK]

Why it gotta be like

That that that that that

Why you gotta be like

That that that that that

Outcha neck talkin’ bout this and

That that that that that

When it ain’t even gotta be like that

Why it gotta be like that

[VERSE I]

When did it become

A violation

To shed a little skin?

I would’ve never known

Had I not left home

Can’t repeat it again

Don’t think shit is easy

Won’t go out that easy

Some of these roads you’ll go alone

And it gotta be like that

[HOOK]

Why it gotta be like

That that that that that

Why you gotta be like

That that that that that

Outcha neck talkin’ bout this and

That that that that that

When it ain’t even gotta be like that

Why it gotta be like that?

[VERSE II: T-Pain]

Somebody need to do they homework

I can’t teach you baby, do your own work

Acting like she don’t know how the phone work

Them calls and them texts go both ways (mmm hmm)

I can see why you think it’s ok

New crabs lookin’ like my old bay

Got the water dripping off her like cenote

I ain’t gotta gas her, she already pro pain (OOH! HEY!)

Sometimes it get like that

Feels good to show love and get it sent right back

So when I say what’s up, just know it’s meant like that, yeah

Just like that, I’m on shit like that

[HOOK]

Why it gotta be like

That that that that that

Why you gotta be like

That that that that that

Outcha neck talkin’ bout this and

That that that that that

When it ain’t even gotta be like that

Why it gotta be like that?

[BRIDGE: DUR&]

Every time I tried to remain the same

It Blew up in my face

You tryna outrun change

But I don’t wanna get away

There’s no getting away

Getting away from change

There’s no getting away

Getting away from change

There’s no getting away

Getting away

[T-Pain: BRIDGE]

I ain’t saying that you need to grow up (need to grow up)

But I can’t keep asking what’s the hold up

Don’t be like that

Don’t be like that

You mad at my glow up

If you stayed woke, you wouldn’t have to get woke up

Don’t be like that

Don’t be like that

[DUR& Bridge Refrain]

Every time I tried to remain the same

It Blew up in my face

You tryna outrun change

But I don’t wanna get away

There’s no getting away

Getting away from change

There’s no getting away

Getting away

(and it’s gotta always be like…)

[HOOK]

Why it gotta be like

That that that that that

Why you gotta be like

That that that that that

Outcha neck talkin’ bout this and

That that that that that

When it ain’t even gotta be like that

Why it gotta be like that?

That ain’t alright

But it’s gon’ be alright
