Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I been up, I been down
I been side to side, I been buried alive
I been hurt, I been robbed
But I'm ok
I been hot, I get cold
I been in a cell
I'm a slob w/ no job but I'm alright
'Cause I don't want to shout
And I don't want to scream
And I don't want to talk all night about these stupid things
Because its like that
And that's the way it is
I know everything I need to know now
Yeah that's the way it is
I know everything I want to do now
And that's the way it is
I know pictures get faded
Yeah that's the way it is
'Cause its like that
I get high, I been low
I can't turn around
I been upside-down
I choke 'cause I'm broke all the time
Your not real but fad
I got a real good mom
I got a real good dad
I'm a creep
But I sleep just fine
And I don't want to shout
And I don't want to scream
And I don't want to talk all night about these stupid things
Because its like that
And that's the way it is
I know everything I need to know now
Yeah that's the way it is
I know everything I want to do now
And that's the way it is
I know pictures get faded
Yeah that's the way it is
I know everything I need to know now
'Cause that's the way it is
I know everything I want to do now
And that's the way it is
I been up, I been down
I been side to side
I been buried alive
I been hurt, I been robbed
But I'm alright
Because its like that
And that's the way it is
Yeah that's the way it is
It's like this now
It's like that now
Its like that-that-that-that its like that now
We don't stop now
Just rock now
Let sunshine fall on me now
And that's the way it is
I know everything I need to know now
And that's the way it is
I know everything I want to do now
Yeah that's the way it is
It's like this now
It's like that now
Its like that-that-that-that its like that now
We don't stop now
Just rock now
Let sunshine fall on you're block now
And that's the way it is
