It Iz What It Iz Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm here to paint what's written on ya face
'Cuz these are the days we are loosing our ways
To find better ways to say what nobody says


[Chorus]
'Cuz we're living on the edge and my motorcycles speeding
It iz what it iz and this is how I'm feeling
We're living on the edge and my motorcycles speeding
It iz what it iz and this is how I'm feeling
Today-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
It iz what it iz, shorty
Today-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
It iz what it iz, shorty

[Verse 2]
I get affected, but I affect a lot more
They all got issues but I got a bit more
I put it in boxes and I put it in a store
I hope you really like it I can do you some more

[Verse 3]
Yeah I'm gonna say something even if you think it's nothing
Cuz one day you are gonna say that today was bumping

Yeah I'm gonna say something even if you think it's nothing
Cuz one day you are gonna say that today was bumping
[Chorus]
'Cuz we're living on the edge and my motorcycles speeding
It iz what it iz and this is how I'm feeling
We're living on the edge and my motorcycles speeding
It iz what it iz and this is how I'm feeling
Today-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
It iz what it iz, shorty
Today-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay
It iz what it iz, shorty

[Bridge]
Maybe it's just us or maybe it's just me
We can have discussions while we are playing wii
Maybe it's just us or maybe it's just me
We can have discussions while we are playing wii

[Outro]
We're living on the edge and my motorcycles speeding
It iz what it iz and this is how I'm feeling
We're living on the edge and my motorcycles speeding
It iz what it iz and this is how I'm feeling

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
