This Is The Way (feat. DMX)

This is 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

Name of the game is get in where you fit in (what?)

Dog, I fit in at the beginning

Cats livin', jumpin' out the window

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 me go, nigga, back up off me

Dog got the cage, cats walk softly

Talk real lightly, scared to bite me

Scared to death to shoot me, scared to fight me

In the street, niggas just playin' the wrong game

Up in the real, nigga face saying the wrong thing

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?

This is the way that I say that it's gonna be
