It's Like That

[00:18.01] Unemployment at a record high
[00:21.57] People coming, people going, people born to die
[00:25.80] Don't ask me, because I don't know why
[00:29.15] But it's like that, and that's the way it is
[00:34.45] People in the world try to make ends meet
[00:37.45] You try to ride car, train, bus, or feet
[00:41.07] I said you got to work hard to want to compete
[00:45.37] It's like that, and that's the way it is
[00:49.64] Huh!
[00:52.06] 
[00:57.57] Money is the key to end all your woes
[01:01.17] Your ups, your downs, your highs and your lows
[01:05.08] Won't you tell me last time that love bought you clothes?
[01:09.03] It's like that, and that's the way it is
[01:13.83] Bills rise higher every day
[01:17.38] We receive much lower pay
[01:20.87] I'd rather stay young, go out and play
[01:24.82] It's like that, and that's the way it is
[01:29.27] Huh!
[01:33.22] War's going on across the sea
[01:36.56] Street soldiers killing the elderly
[01:40.60] What ever happened to unity?
[01:44.67] It's like that, and that that's the way it is
[01:49.63] Disillusion is the word
[01:52.56] That's used by me when I'm not heard
[01:56.36] I just go through life with my glasses blurred
[02:00.51] It's like that, and that's the way it is
[02:04.89] Huh!
[02:07.22] 
[02:20.33] You can see a lot in this lifespan
[02:24.12] Like a bum eating out of a garbage can
[02:28.28] You notice one time he was your man
[02:32.12] It's like that (what?) and that's the way it is
[02:35.93] You should've gone to school, you could've learned to trade
[02:39.94] But you laid in the bed where the bums have laid
[02:44.03] Now all the time you're crying that you're underpaid
[02:48.09] It's like that (what?) and that's the way it is
[02:52.49] Huh!
[02:54.79] 
[03:00.39] One thing I know is that life is short
[03:03.46] So listen up homeboy, give this a thought
[03:07.56] The next time someone's teaching why don't you get taught?
[03:11.73] It's like that (what?) and that's the way it is
[03:15.94] If you really think about it, times aren't that bad
[03:19.44] The one that stretches for successes will make you glad
[03:23.42] Stop playing, start praying, you won't be sad
[03:27.67] It's like that (what?) and that's the way it is
[03:32.18] Huh!
[03:35.60] When you feel you'll fail sometimes it hurts
[03:39.54] For a meaning in life is why you search
[03:43.40] Take the bus or the train, drive to school or the church
[03:47.47] It's like that, and that's the way it is
[03:51.46] Here's another point in life you should not miss
[03:55.47] Do not be a fool who's prejudice
[03:59.17] Because we're all written down on the same list
[04:03.23] It's like that (what?) and that's the way it is
[04:07.70] Huh!
[04:10.24] 
[04:14.93] You know it's like that, and that's the way it is
[04:18.80] Because it's like that, and that's the way it is
[04:22.92] You know it's like that, and that's the way it is
[04:26.83] Because it's like that, and that's the way it is
[04:30.85] You know it's like that, and that's the way it is
[04:34.74] Because it's like that, and that's the way it is
[04:38.71] You know it's like that, and that's the way it is
[04:42.66] Because it's like that, and that's the way it is...
[04:46.71]
