That's Life Lyrics - Live At The Apollo Vol. 2 - James Brown

That's life, that's what all the people say. 

You're riding high in April, 

Shot down in May 

But I know I'm gonna change that tune, 

When I'm back on top, back on top in June. 

I said that's life, and as funny as it may seem 

Some people get their kicks, 

Stompin' on a dream 

But I don't let it, let it get me down, 

'Cause this fine ol' world it keeps spinning around

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, 

A poet, a pawn and a king. 

I've been up and down and over and out 

And I know one thing: 

Each time I find myself, flat on my face, 

I pick myself up and get back in the race. 

That's life 

I tell ya, I can't deny it, 

I thought of quitting baby, 

But my heart just ain't gonna buy it. 

And if I didn't think it was worth one single try, 

I'd jump right on a big bird and then I'd fly 

I've been a puppet, a pauper, a pirate, 

A poet, a pawn and a king. 

I've been up and down and over and out 

And I know one thing: 

Each time I find myself laying flat on my face, 

I just pick myself up and get back in the race

That's life 

That's life and I can't deny it 

Many times I thought of cutting out 

But my heart won't buy it 

But if there's nothing shakin' come this here july 

I'm gonna roll myself up in a big ball and die 

My, My
