Jason Nevins - It's Like That


And it goes a little something like this...

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.
People in the world tryin 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.

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.
Bills rise higher, every day, we recieve much lower pay,
I'd rather stay young, go out and play,
It's like that, and that's the way it is.

Wars going on across the seas, street soldiers killing 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, and that's the way it is.

You can see a lot in this life-span,
Like a bum eating out of a garbage can.
You noticed one thing, he was your man,
It's like that, what, and that's the way it is.
You should've gone to school, you could've learned a trade,
But you laid in the beds where the bums have laid.
Now all the time you are crying that you're underpaid,
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...

Check this out!

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.
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.

Check this out.
You know it's like that and that's the way it is, because...
