[00:10]Unemployment at a record highs
[00:13]People coming, people going, people born to die
[00:17]Don＇t ask me, because I don＇t know why
[00:20]But it＇s like that, and that＇s the way it is
[00:25]People in the world tryin to make ends meet
[00:27]You try to ride car, train, bus, or feet
[00:31]I said you got to work hard, you want to compete
[00:35]It＇s like that, and that＇s the way it is
[00:39]Huh!
[00:47]Money is the key to end all your woes
[00:50]Your ups, your downs, your highs and your lows
[00:54]Won＇t you tell me the last time that love bought you clothes?
[00:57]It＇s like that, and that＇s the way it is
[01:01]Bills rise higher every day
[01:05]We receive much lower pay
[01:08]I＇d rather stay young, go out and play
[01:12]It＇s like that, and that＇s the way it is
[01:16]Huh!
[01:24]Wars going on across the sea
[01:27]Street soldiers killing the elderly
[01:31]Whatever happened to unity?
[01:35]It＇s like that, and that＇s the way it is
[01:39]Disillusion is the word
[01:42]That＇s used by me when I＇m not heard
[01:46]I just go through life with my glasses blurred
[01:49]It＇s like that, and that＇s the way it is
[01:54]Huh!
[02:00]You can see a lot in this lifespan
[02:04]Like a bum eating out of a garbage can
[02:08]You noticed one time he was your man
[02:12]It＇s like that (what?) and that＇s the way it is
[02:15]You should have gone to school, you could＇ve learned a trade
[02:19]But you laid in the bed where the bums have laid
[02:23]Now all the time you＇re crying that you＇re underpaid
[02:27]It＇s like that and that＇s the way it is
[03:08]One thing I know is that life is short
[03:11]So listen up homeboy, give this a thought
[03:15]The next time someone＇s teaching why don＇t you get taught?
[03:19]It＇s like that (what?) and that＇s the way it is
[03:22]If you really think about it times aren＇t that bad
[03:26]The one that flexes with successes will make you glad
[03:30]Stop playing start praying, you won＇t be sad
[03:33]It＇s like that (what?) and that＇s the way it is
[03:38]Huh!
[03:40]Check this out
[03:46]You know it＇s like that, and that＇s the way it is
[03:50]Because it＇s like that, and that＇s the way it is
