And it goes a little
something like this
Unemployment at a record
highs
People coming, people going,
people born to die
Don't ask me,
because I don't know why
But it's like that,
and that's the way it is
People in the world
tryin to make ends meet
You try to ride car,
train, bus, or feet
I said you got to work hard,
you want to compete
You know it's like that,
and that's the way it is, huh!
Money is the key
to end all your woes
Your ups, your downs,
your highs and your lows
Won't you tell me the last time
that love bought you clothes
You know it's like that,
and that's the way it is
Bills rise higher every day
We receive much lower pay
I'd rather stay young,
go out and play
You know it's like that,
and that's the way it is, huh!
Wars going on
across the sea
Street soldiers killing the elderly
Whatever happened to unity
It's like that,
and that's the way it is
Disillusion is the word
That's used by me
when I'm not heard
I just go through life
with my glasses blurred
It's like that,
and that's the way it is, huh
You can see a lot in this lifespan
Like a bum eating
out of a garbage can
You noticed one time
he was your man
It's like that
and that's the way it is
You should have gone to school,
you could've learned a trade
But you laid in the bed
where the bums have laid
Now all the time you're crying
that you're underpaid
It's like that
and that's the way it is
You know it's like that
and that's the way it is
I said it's like that
and that's the way it is
I said it's like that
and that's the way it is
Check this out
Check this out
One thing I know
is that life is short
So listen up homeboy,
give this a thought
The next time someone's
teaching
why don't you get taught
I said it's like that
and that's the way it is
If you really think about
it times aren't that bad
The one that flexes with
successes
will make you glad
Stop playing start praying,
you won't be sad
It's like that
and that's the way it is
Because it's like that
and that's the way it is
And that's the way it is
and that's the way it is
and that's the way it is
Check this out
It's like that
and that's the way it is
You know it's like that
and that's the way it is
Because it's like that
and that's the way it is
And that's the way it is
