It’s Like That

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Rev Run, Rev Run & DMC] Unemployment at a record high 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 [Verse 2: DMC, Rev Run & DMC] 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 [Verse 3: Rev Run, DMC, Rev Run & DMC] 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 [Verse 4: DMC, Rev Run, Rev Run & DMC] 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 [Verse 5: Rev Run, DMC, Rev Run & DMC] 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 [Verse 6: DMC, Rev Run, Rev Run & DMC] 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 [Verse 7: Rev Run, DMC, Rev Run & DMC] 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 [Verse 8: DMC, Rev Run, Rev Run & DMC] 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 [Verse 9: Rev Run, DMC, Rev Run & DMC] 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 [Verse 10: DMC, Rev Run, Rev Run & DMC] 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 [Verse 11: DMC, Rev Run, Rev Run & DMC] 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 [Verse 12: DMC, Rev Run, Rev Run & DMC] 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 [Outro: DMC & Rev Run] 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
