| Woke up, wipe the eye boogers, feeling fresh | 
| My cat knocked all the books off of my desk, fuck it | 
| Look up to my left | 
| One clip left, I lit it and ingest | 
| One cig left, I hit it, I confess | 
| Yup, I sip it with regret, fuck it | 
| Wifey sleep late (Sleeps late) | 
| Give that ass a slap before she wakes | 
| Buckets, that’s what I make | 
| Ruckus a, that’s what I make, it stuck with us | 
| Y’all get fucked for the day, hit my brothers up ayy | 
| The fuck is up? | 
| What you gotta say? | 
| As I lay in my dusty old bed, no sheets on | 
| My cats walking over my head, they testy | 
| They wanna be fed | 
| drinking on the empty, making some eggs | 
| Start my day with the effects I could hardly say | 
| And what’s next I pray what’s next | 
| Walk to the train and what’s next after that | 
| I don’t write this, only God could say | 
| It’s just the way that I am | 
| It’s how I live, I do what I do | 
| The way they are pisses me off | 
| The way they talk, the shit that they spew | 
| It’s just the way that I am | 
| It’s how I live, I do what I do | 
| The way they are pisses me off | 
| The way they talk, the shit that they spew | 
| Pardon me, don’t be startled by the honesty | 
| Don’t start with me, the blood that runs in my arteries | 
| A drunk mutt, that’s my pedigree, pardon me | 
| Told you that when I started, B | 
| Whether at the party saucy or at the park acting awkwardly | 
| There’s a lot of me’s | 
| That’s just the way that I am, that’s how it ought to be | 
| Along with all the audities | 
| Find peace under the olive tree | 
| I’m me, I’m Weezy, it’s Carter 3 | 
| Talking me off, go off on you, I’m Cardi B | 
| Ask myself is this path I took my destiny or just the obvious trajectory? | 
| I can see the way it’s meant to be | 
| Will I eventually do what I was sent to do? | 
| Be who I sent to be? | 
| Even try to attempt to be? | 
| Be, yo, be, look | 
| Will I be successful or just the one with most potential? | 
| Close to special, never knew the name but influential, see | 
| When the game gets suspenseful, the rain gets | 
| I just-I just gotta maintain | 
| It’s just the way that I am | 
| It’s how I live, I do what I do | 
| The way they are pisses me off | 
| The way they talk, the shit that they spew |
