IT'S LIKE THAT - MC JOE & THE VANILLAS[00:00:00]
Written by:SIMMONS/SMITH/MC DANIELS[00:00:01]
Unemployment at a record high[00:00:01]
People coming people going people born to die[00:00:03]
Don't ask me because I don't know why[00:00:06]
But it's like that and that's the way it is[00:00:09]
People in the world trying to make ends meet[00:00:13]
You try to ride car train bus or feet[00:00:16]
I said you got to work hard you want to compete[00:00:19]
It's like that and that's the way it is[00:00:23]
Money is the key to end all your woes[00:00:40]
Your ups your downs your highs and your lows[00:00:44]
Won't you tell me the last time that love bought you clothes[00:00:47]
It's like that and that's the way it is[00:00:50]
Bills rise higher every day[00:00:54]
We receive much lower pay[00:00:57]
I'd rather stay young go out and play[00:01:00]
It's like that and that's the way it is[00:01:03]
Wars going on across the sea[00:01:07]
Street soldiers killing the elderly[00:01:10]
Whatever happened to unity[00:01:14]
It's like that and that's the way it is[00:01:17]
Disillusion is the word[00:01:21]
That's used by me when I'm not heard[00:01:24]
I just go through life with my glasses blurred[00:01:27]
It's like that and that's the way it is[00:01:31]
You can see a lot in this lifespan[00:01:48]
Like a bum eating out of a garbage can[00:01:51]
You noticed one time he was your man[00:01:54]
It's like that[00:01:58]
What[00:01:59]
And that's the way it is[00:01:59]
You should have gone to school you could've learned a trade[00:02:01]
But you laid in the bed where the bums have laid[00:02:04]
Now all the time you're crying that you're underpaid[00:02:08]
It's like that[00:02:11]
What[00:02:12]
And that's the way it is[00:02:13]
It's like that[00:02:18]
And that's the way it is[00:02:26]
One thing I know is that life is short[00:02:28]
So listen up homeboy give this a thought[00:02:31]
The next time someone's teaching why don't you get taught[00:02:35]
It's like that[00:02:38]
What[00:02:39]
And that's the way it is[00:02:40]
If you really think about it times aren't that bad[00:02:41]
The one that flexes with successes will make you glad[00:02:45]
Stop playing start praying you won't be sad[00:02:48]
It's like that[00:02:51]
What[00:02:53]
And that's the way it is[00:02:53]
When you feel you fail sometimes it hurts[00:02:55]
For a meaning in life is why you search[00:02:58]
Take the bus or the train drive to school or the church[00:03:02]
It's like that and that's the way it is[00:03:05]
Here's another point in life you should not miss[00:03:09]
Do not be a fool who's prejudiced[00:03:12]
Because we're all written down on the same list[00:03:15]
It's like that[00:03:19]
What[00:03:20]
And that's the way it is[00:03:20]
