It's Like That Lyrics - Ultimate Run-d.m.c. - Run D.m.c.

Unemployment at a record highs 

People coming, people going, people born to die 

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 

You try to ride car, train, bus, or feet 

I said you got to work hard, you want to compete 

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

Huh! 

Money is the key to end all your woes 

Your ups, your downs, your highs and your lows 

Won't you tell me the last time that love bought you clothes? 

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

Love Stinks, So Here Are 15 Anti-Valentine's Day Songs 

Watch Will Smith perform to iconic song 'Prince Ali' from Aladdin 

Bills rise higher every day 

We receive much lower pay 

I'd rather stay young, go out and play 

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

Huh! 

Wars going on across the sea 

Street soldiers killing the elderly 

Whatever happened to unity? 

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

Disillusion is the word 

That's used by 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 

Huh! 

You can see a lot in this lifespan 

Like a bum eating out of a garbage can 

You noticed one time he was your man 

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

Photos 

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

But you laid in the bed where the bums have laid 

Now all the time you're crying that you're underpaid 

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

Huh! 

One thing I know is that life is short 

So listen up homeboy, give this a thought 

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

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

If you really think about it times aren't that bad 

The one that flexes with successes will make you glad 

Stop playing start praying, you won't be sad 

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

Huh! 

When you feel you fail sometimes it hurts 

For a meaning in life is why you search 

Take the bus or the train, drive to school or the church 

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

Here's another point in life you should not miss 

Do not be a fool who's prejudiced 

Because we're all written down on the same list 

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

Huh! 

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

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

[Repeat these lines til fade]
