And it goes a little something like this…
Unemployment at a record high,
People coming, people going, people born to die.

People in the world tryin make ends meet,

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.

You know it’s like that and that’s the way it is, because…
