It's Like That

[00:22.29] Unemployment at a record highs
[00:25.14] People coming, people going, people born to die
[00:28.71] Don't ask me, because I don't know why
[00:32.49] But it's like that, and that's the way it is
[00:36.35] People in the world tryin to make ends meet
[00:40.43] You try to ride car, train, bus, or feet
[00:43.72] I said you got to work hard, you want to compete
[00:47.54] It's like that, and that's the way it is
[00:51.58] Huh!
[00:59.94] Money is the key to end all your woes
[01:03.28] Your ups, your downs, your highs and your lows
[01:06.54] Won't you tell me the last time that love bought you clothes?
[01:10.54] It's like that, and that's the way it is
[01:14.99] Bills rise higher every day
[01:18.09] We receive much lower pay
[01:21.45] I'd rather stay young, go out and play
[01:25.14] It's like that, and that's the way it is
[01:29.51] Huh!
[01:36.03] Wars going on across the sea
[01:39.96] Street soldiers killing the elderly
[01:43.65] Whatever happened to unity?
[01:47.45] It's like that, and that's the way it is
[01:51.40] Disillusion is the word
[01:55.56] That's used by me when I'm not heard
[01:57.60] I just go through life with my glasses blurred
[01:58.59] It's like that, and that's the way it is
[01:58.86] Huh!
[01:59.28] You can see a lot in this lifespan
[02:00.27] Like a bum eating out of a garbage can
[02:05.72] You noticed one time he was your man
[02:09.32] It's like that (what?) and that's the way it is
[02:13.17] You should have gone to school, you could've learned a trade
[02:16.56] But you laid in the bed where the bums have laid
[02:20.44] Now all the time you're crying that you're underpaid
[02:23.87] It's like that (what?) and that's the way it is
[03:02.71] Huh!
[03:03.56] One thing I know is that life is short
[03:05.58] So listen up homeboy, give this a thought
[03:09.16] The next time someone's teaching why don't you get taught?
[03:12.95] It's like that (what?) and that's the way it is
[03:17.63] If you really think about it times aren't that bad
[03:20.54] The one that flexes with successes will make you glad
[03:24.60] Stop playing start praying, you won't be sad
[03:29.08] It's like that (what?) and that's the way it is
[03:32.94] Huh!
[03:42.39] When you feel you fail sometimes it hurts
[03:44.23] For a meaning in life is why you search
[03:45.28] Take the bus or the train, drive to school or the church
[03:46.21] It's like that, and that's the way it is
[03:47.06] Here's another point in life you should not miss
[03:48.15] Do not be a fool who's prejudiced
[03:49.16] Because we're all written down on the same list
[03:49.92] It's like that (what?) and that's the way it is
[03:50.95] Huh!
[04:02.63] You know it's like that, and that's the way it is
[04:03.22] Because it's like that, and that's the way it is
[04:04.04] [Repeat these lines til fade]
[04:04.80]
