Karaoké That's the Way It Is The Adventures of Stevie V

The genesis of a menace

In showed the dollar bill

Adam made a apple and now a brother will kill his own

Of course without thinkin'

Bodies were waste for the face of a fake named Lincoln

Nothin' matters but the dollars and cents

As long as you score you ignore the consequence

Monkey see monkey do what has to be done as long as money's number one

You ain't tryin' to hear yourself

Lookin' in the mirror after you sell your soul

Your mind becomes really nothin' but a transmitter and money's the remote control

Oh hey eh

Whoever can show defiance for the money addiction is found only in the science fiction book

And the songs that cook temptation that keeps our minds on the plantation

That's the way it is

No no no no no

Hmm hey

That's the way it is

Eh hey

Life is what you make it

That's the way it is

That's life

No no no no no

That's the way it is

Life is what you make it

Power, fame, status lifestyle and position is everybody's intention

Brother and sister on a scheme to outdo one another

Hey yo keep it undercover

'Cos money is the root to evil and can fall downhill

For all suckers to chill

'Cos if you're slinkin', cablin' and hustlin' to make a fat stack the trick could make you poor back

Listen to what I'm sayin'

Let my words get heard or get served like a customer

Word

Hey yeah heh eh

He's a fiend for the green

Money motivates the man last seen holdin' out his hand

Situation incredible as inevitable as time

Sucker sellin' his car for nickel and dime

Ooh hoo yeah

Ball players misbehavior shavin' points

Never drop the soap in the joint

Ooh hoo hoo yeah

Searchin', hard to find a community of leaders

Laughin' in a fat two seater

One hand on a beer bottle one foot on the throttle

This is the new role model

Money can change you from a nun to a whore

People gettin' rich off of other's misfortunes

Who gives a damn if a runaway is slayed or sold like cattle at an auction

Hey

Only some can overcome the odds and take it

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh yeah 'cos life is what you make it

Ooh hoo ooh ooh ooh hoo ooh ooh

That's the way it is

No no no no no

That's the way it is

That's life

Life is what you make it

That's the way it is

Oh ho oh yeah hey yeah

No no no no no

That's the way it is

You know ooh hoo

Life is what you make it

Ooh ooh ooh ooh

That's the way it is

Uh huh uh oh

No no no no no

That's the way it is

That's the way it is

Yeah hey yeah hey

That's life

You know what I'm sayin'

Catch my drift

Kick it

This universe is cursed on a mission

Children have to make grown up decisions

It's no fun when no one will listen

Nowhere to run except the television

Life today is what you make it

Whenever obstacles block you gotta fake it

You will know when it's good to G-O

Opportunity's knockin' now time to take it

Hey hey

That's the way it is

That's the way it is

Yeah hey

No no no no no

Huh

That's the way it is

That's the way it is

Life is what you make it

That's the way it is

No no no no no

That's the way it is

Life is what you make it

Oh oh ho oh ho

Society isn't and never will be a priority

Read the news and look at all the stories

Homeless people livin' in cardboard boxes

And yo it's got to stop

If you ain't clockin' the dollars and you claim no status you're looked upon as the baddest of the bad

And bein' put down because the way that you're livin' is ill

People have some knowledge of will

Explain to me the definition of life

Could it be a misconception of your troubles, your strife

And all the problems you seem to behold or the hills you have to get over

A fourleaf clover is no way to get by

I see another mountain that I have to climb

And so you know the hand of life

I just shake it 'cos I believe it's what you make it

Ooh that's the way it is

Ain't nothin' you can do about it baby yeah 'cos you hoo

That's the way it is

Life is what you make it

That's the way it is

That's the way it is

No no no no no

That's the way it is yeah

That's the way it is

Life is what you make it

That's the way it is

That's the way it is yeah

No no no no no

That's the way it is

Huh huh hoo

Life is what you make it

That's the way it is

That's the way it is

No no no no no

That's the way it is

That's just the way it is

Life is what you make it

That's the way it is

It's just the way it is

No no no no no

That's the way it is

Hah ah ah ah oh oh yeah

Life is what you make it

That's the way it is

No no no no no

That's the way it it is

Life is what you make it

That's the way it is
