It's Like That

And it goes a little something like this!

Workin' hard to keep the record hot

People come and people go and people want to stop

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 tryin' to make ends meet

Fool later find God tryin' to bust a beat

I said you've got to work hard if you wanna compete

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

Money is the key to end all your woes

Now I'm so down just way past my nose

Won't you sell your last dime for the love of your clothes

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

Bill rise higher every day

And we receive much lower pay

I'd rather stay young, go out and play

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

War's goin' on across the sea

Sick soldiers killin' the elderly

Whatever happened to unity?

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

Disillusion is the word

That shouts to 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

You could be a lot in this lifespan

Lots of folks eatin' out of the garbage can

You know it one time was your man

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

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

But you stayed in the bed of the punk you made

Now all the time you're cryin' 'cause you're underpaid

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

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

I said it's like that, and that's the way it is

I said it's like that, and that's the way it is

Check this out

One thing I know and that's life is short

So listen up, homeboy, and give this a thought

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

I said it's like that (what?) and that's the way it is

If you really think about it, time's not that bad

The way you move, you suggest it will make you last
