Lyrics

[Intro]

And it goes a little somethin' like this

[Verse 1]

Unemployment at a record high

People comin', people goin', 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

[Verse 2]

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"

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

Huh

[Verse 3]

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?

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

[Verse 4]

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

[Verse 5]

Wars goin' on across the sea

Street soldiers killin' the elderly

Whatever happened to unity?

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

[Verse 6]

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

[Verse 7]

You can see a lot in this lifespan

Like a bum eatin' out of a garbage can

You noticed one time he was your man

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

What?

[Verse 8]

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 cryin' that you're underpaid

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

[Chorus]

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

You know it's like that and that's the way it is

Because it's like

[Bridge]

[Verse 9]

One thing I know is that life is short

So listen up, homeboy, give this a thought

The next time someone's teachin', why don't you get taught?

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

What?

[Verse 10]

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

The one that flexes with successes will make you glad

Stop playin', start prayin', you won't be sad

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

What?

Huh

[Outro]

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

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

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
