It Is What It Is

If you lie, you're a liar If you steal, you're a stealer If you kill, you're a killer If you bad mouth, you're a backstabber If you murder, you're a criminal If you discriminate, you're an animal If you disrespect, you'll be disrespected If you cheat, you'll be disinherited If you fake it, you are a hypocrite If you have no evidence, you're a fake If you're audacious, you're a sinner If you're vicious, you're an ass-kisser We are tired of the lies, you're an élite A thief, a narcissist and an empty lake It is what it is. You are who you are There's no need to go to war Raise high the white flag That you hid in your small bag.
