It's Like That

And it's goes a little something like this

Unemployment at a record high

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 try to make ends meet

You try to ride car, train, bus, or feet

I said you got to work hard to want to compete

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 last time that love bought your clothes?

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

It's like that, and that's the way it is

Huh

War's going on across the sea

Street soldiers killing the elderly

What ever 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 notice one time he was your man

It's like that (What?) and that's the way it is

You should've gone to school, you could've learned a trade

But you laid in 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 that way it is

Because it's like that Is that the way it is

No it's like that Is that the way it is

Because it's like that

One thing I know is life is short

So listen up homeboy, give this a thought

The next times someone's teaching, why don't you get taught?

It's like that (What?) and that's the way it is

If you really think about it, times aren't that bad

The one that stretches for success will make you glad

Stop playing, start praying, you won't be sad

It's like that (What?) and that's the way it is

Huh!

You know it's like that And that's that way it is

Because it's like that And that's that way it is

You know it's like that And that's that way it is

Because it's like that And that's that way it is

You know it's like that And that's that way it is

Because it's like that And that's that way it is
