Hieroglyphics – The Way That It Be Video

Hieroglyphics return with “The Way That It Be,” a feel-good dose of that Hiero vibe from the new All Said And Done album. Performed by Casual, Pep Love, and Tajai, produced by A-Plus, and directed by Bakari Pilgrim, the video lets the Oakland crew sound loose, seasoned, and fully comfortable in their own rhythm.

The song is about perspective earned over time. The verses move through rumors, survival, age, optimism, money, friendship, and the kind of peace that comes from still being outside after decades in the game. There is pride in the writing, but it does not come across stiff. The crew sounds like it is celebrating endurance without turning the record into a lecture.

The chorus rides well, giving the track an easy center while the verses stay playful and conversational. That is where the record feels most like Hiero: grown, relaxed, technically sharp, and still carrying the community energy that made the crew more than a collection of solo voices. Even when the rhymes get slippery, the mood stays welcoming.

The visuals match that warmth. Shot outdoors on what looks like a cliff overlooking the California coast, the clip gives the song open air, sunlight, and movement instead of clutter. “The Way That It Be” works as a reminder that Hieroglyphics can still make longevity feel light on its feet.
