Lyric: Then it goes a little something like this (Run) 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 (DMC) People in the world trying 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! (Run and DMC alternate lines for the remainder of the song) 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 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! 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 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! 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 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, 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 Check this out RUN DMC and Jam Master Jay, Run It’s RUN DMC and Jam Master Jay, Run It’s RUN DMC and Jam Master Jay, Run It’s RUN DMC and Jam Master Jay, Run It’s RUN DMC and Jam Master Jay RUN DMC and Jam Master Jay 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 Huh! Check this out 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 (Repeat these lines till fade)
