[00:18.27]Unemployment at a record high
[00:21.61]People coming, people going, people born to die
[00:26.07]Don't ask me, because I don't know why
[00:29.31]But it's like that, and that's the way it is
[00:34.00]People in the world try to make ends meet
[00:37.43]You try to ride car, train, bus, or feet
[00:41.35]I said you got to work hard to want to compete
[00:45.47]It's like that, and that's the way it is
[00:49.79]Huh!
[00:57.75]Money is the key to end all your woes
[01:01.17]Your ups and your downs, your highs and your lows
[01:05.13]Won't you tell me last time that love bought you clothes?
[01:09.07]It's like that, and that's the way it is
[01:13.57]Bills fly higher every day
[01:17.54]We receive much lower pay
[01:21.39]I'd rather stay young, go out and play
[01:24.99]It's like that, and that's the way it is
[01:29.42]Huh!
[01:33.38]War's going on across the sea
[01:36.86]Street soldiers killing the elderly
[01:40.78]What ever happened to unity
[01:44.74]It's like that, and that that's the way it is
[01:49.25]Disillusion is the word“
[01:52.76]That's used by me when I'm not heard
[01:56.62]I just go through life with my glasses blurred
[02:00.66]It's like that, and that's the way it is
[02:05.03]Huh!
[02:20.86]You can see a lot in this lifespan
[02:24.46]Like a bum eating out of a garbage can
[02:28.43]You notice one time he was your man
[02:32.41]It's like that (what?) and that's the way it is
[02:36.21]You should've gone to school, you could've learned a trade
[02:40.23]But you laid in bed where the bums have laid
[02:44.31]Now all the time you're crying that you're underpaid
[02:48.29]It's like that (what?) and that's the way it is
[02:52.60]Huh!
[03:00.61]One thing I know is that life is short
[03:04.09]So listen up homeboy, give this a thought
[03:07.91]The next time someone's teaching why don't you get taught?
[03:11.95]It's like that (what?) and that's the way it is
[03:16.21]If you really think about it times aren't that bad
[03:19.87]The one that stretches for success will make you glad
[03:23.79]Stop playing start praying, you won't be sad
[03:27.89]It's like that (what?) and that's the way it is
[03:32.25]Huh!
[03:36.27]When you feel you fail sometimes it hurts
[03:39.76]For a meaning in life is why you search
[03:43.83]Take the bus or the train, drive to school on the church
[03:47.75]It's like that, and that's the way it is
[03:51.89]Here's another point in life you should not miss
[03:55.51]Do not be a fool who's prejudice
[03:59.45]Because we're all written down on the same list
[04:03.52]It's like that (what?) and that's the way it is
[04:08.05]Huh!
[04:15.24]You know it's like that, and that's the way it is
[04:19.23]Because it's like that, and that's the way it is
[04:23.24]You know it's like that, and that's the way it is
[04:27.12]Because it's like that, and that's the way it is
[04:31.19]You know it's like that, and that's the way it Is
[04:35.14]Because it's like that, and that's the way it is
