[Intro: Vince Staples]
Everything is as it should be
Fu*k what it could or would or should be
Fu*k what it would or should or could be, yeah
Everything is as it should be
Fu*k what it would or could or should be
I’ve been asking God “Why me?”

[Verse 1: Vince Staples]
Yo, uh, see me out, don’t shake my hand or you was there for me
Keep my phone on DND, hoes get left on read
Seen so many late nights, nowadays I can’t sleep
Every time we gang slide, somebody R.I.P
Dopeman had my daddy hooked, shooter like Kareem
No, I ain’t no open book, baby, I’m a G
Keep it on me, keep a look, keep it in the streets
Used to be my partner then, ‘fore he went PC
Call me what you want, just don’t call the police
Cuz’ fu*ked her in the street, they fell beneath my knees
What’s up with all these fake thugs, lying on these beats?
Just trying to get my paystubs, please don’t intervene
Shoot you, leave you dead or in the jail, I’m somewhere in between
I’m independent, but I’m signed to UMG
I’m in the trenches, but I grew up walking distance from the beach
Yeah, living out that California dream

[Verse 2: Ab-Soul & Vince Staples]
‘Cause I’ve been practicing that everything is as it should be
Fu*k what it would’ve, should’ve, or it could be (Ayy)
But sometimes, I be asking God “Why me?” (Run it, run it)
We’ll never get an answer, ’cause I know it already
I’m covered in the blood, cuz’, he might’ve bit me, got a what?
Me and D was in the doghouse on top of the VIP
So it’s no coincidence my insignia in TDE
They turned the idea into the media, that’s genius
Herbert Stevens IV, that’s intravenous
Still thugging, drop a sample in the club with No I.D

Hahah, that one was members only
If you ain’t know me when me and Blocka was rolling up the blanka
Or ate a dandelion, French coast and Polish sausage
You’ll probably do better overseas
Instead of living out that California dream, woah
