Lyrics
verse 1
this aint polka this aint samba this aint what you show your mama
this aint rock no this aint rap this is about fighting back
this goes above push and shove sight and sound and hate and love
this goes beyond the words to the song right and wrong
from night to dawn this gets it on keeps me strong
I see the light it turns it on burns inside turns the tide
keeps the stars and the moon in the sky
chorus
(yes it is) (what it is)
but you have yet to give no all you do is take
(all you get) (is what you give)
somethings got to give make no mistake
(yes it is) (what it is)
but you have yet to give no all you do is take
(all you get) (is what you give)
somethings got to give because it is what it is
verse 2
tiz the reason for the fury it came upon a midnight dreary
tired bones left me weary the lonesome road I couldn't see clearly
the shadows rose and came alive
and gave chase as I passed them by
and in the light flashed a reflection
saw two eyes made the connection
you don't gotta lie or try and correct
it is what it is an attempt to connect
you don't gotta like it try and accept
it is what it is give respect
chorus
(yes it is) (what it is)
but you have yet to give no all you do is take
(all you get) (is what you give)
somethings got to give make no mistake
(yes it is) (what it is)
but you have yet to give no all you do is take
(all you get) (is what you give)
somethings got to give because it is what it is
