It's Like That
RUN-DMC Lyrics

Unemployment at a record high
The rate of people without jobs is at an all-time high

People coming, people going, people born to die
People are born, they live their lives, and eventually die

Don't ask me, because I don't know why, But it's like that, and that's the way it is
I don't have the answers as to why life is the way it is; it just is

People in the world try to make ends meet, You try to ride car, train, bus, or feet, I said you got to work hard to want to compete, It's like that, and that's the way it is Huh!
Life is a struggle and people try different ways to make a living, but you must work hard to succeed

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
Money can make life easier, but it cannot buy happiness or love

Bills fly 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!
The cost of living is increasing, while salaries remain low, but it's still important to enjoy life

War's going on across the sea, Street soldiers killing the elderly, Whatever happened to unity?, It is like that and that's the way it is
There are conflicts and violence in the world, and it seems like people have forgotten how to come together and work towards peace

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!
When I am not heard, I feel disillusioned and life seems uncertain and blurry

You can see a lot in this lifespan, Like a bum eating out of a garbage can, You notice one time he was your man, It's like that (what?) and that's the way it is
Life is full of surprises; you may see someone you once knew in a difficult situation

You should've 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!
You could have bettered yourself by getting an education, but instead, you chose to waste your time and now feel underpaid

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
Life is brief and we should take advantage of opportunities to learn and grow

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!
If you focus on the positives and work hard towards success, you will be happier; sometimes it's necessary to take a moment to be thankful and pray

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
Feeling like a failure can be painful, but it's important to keep searching for the purpose of life, and one can find it through education or faith

Here's another point in life you should not miss, Do not be a fool who's prejudice, Because we're all written down on the same list, It's like that (what?) and that's the way it is Huh
It's crucial to avoid prejudging people and remembering that we are all the same and equal

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
Life is unpredictable and sometimes unfair, but it is what it is and we must accept it
