Karaoké It's Like That Run-DMC

Unemployment at a record high

People comin', people goin'

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 last time that love bought you clothes

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

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 goin' on across the sea

Street soldiers killin' 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 with my glasses blurred and that's the way it is

Huh

Huh

You can see a lot

In this lifespan

Like a bum eatin' out of

A garbage can

You noticed one time

It's like that

He was your man

What and that's the way it is

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 cryin'

That you're underpaid

It's like that, what

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

Huh

Huh

One thing I know is that life is short

So listen up homeboy

Give this a thought

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

It's like that 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 playin', start prayin'

You won't be sad

It's like that

You won't be sad and that's the way it is

Huh

Huh

When you feel you fail sometimes it hurts

For a meanin' in life is why you search

Take the bus or the train

Drive to school or the church

It's like that

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

On the same list

It's like that

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

Huh

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

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

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

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
