letra de the way it is - shazzy

[intro]
can you dig it? (crowd cheers)
can you dig it? (crowd cheers)
can you dig it? (crowd cheers)
can you dig it? (crowd cheers)

[verse 1]
another baby cries in the back
his mama’s not there
daddy’s hangin’ out smokin’ crack
but what does he care
kelly’s in the bed
her fourth time in labor
two kids and a home in the ‘burbs
they couldn’t save her
the family’s poor and livin’ on welfare
will it ever seem to me
like anyone does care?
but they don’t give a d-mn
n0body else will
life will go on and they’ll be livin’ like “that’s them”
but who am i to say what the level of life should be?
it’s just my opinion that life doesn’t have to be
lived this way
the better the next [?]
so is life bad?
that’s the way it is
[hook]
you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig?

[verse 2]
he was only 11
a mother shouts in despair
a body bag used to be her son in the school’s care
and one little suspect sits in the police car
cryin’ ‘cuz he stole his brother’s gun from the money jar
and he was only 14
livin’ a big man’s dream
gangster rock shot him because he stepped on his ice cream
now ol’ mrs. smith, the nicest woman in town
comin home from work, she got robbed and beat down
it’s a shame how the young overlook and neglect
don’t this age have any kind of respect?
now i know that this problem really doesn’t have much of an answer
but if it is a life, the way it is, it’s deadly as cancer

[hook]
you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig?
can you dig it?

[verse 3]
do you live in a house or have a place to stay
and if you live on the streets, is there a better way
no, it isn’t wise. yes, because you say it is
and what you make me say, it’s a myth
because that’s the way it is
and this is supposed to be
the land of the brave and free
but what seems to happen to the ones who have come to see america?
a land of opportunity
and only opportunin’ if you’re not a minority
speaks the language
seeks the knowledge
two plus two equals five to the bunk style
h-ll it’s a thin line
swell if i got mine
is [?] the way it is, is how it got the first time
[hook]
you dig you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig?
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
can you dig it?

[verse 4]
in the planet for the 5th time
battered and beat down
pregnant again and embarrassed for the frown
cryin’ from the heart and shakin’ ‘bout how bad he hit it
who was the father? my daddy (little girl: my daddy) my daddy (little girl: my daddy) did it
kelly ran away to live on her own
and now she’s livin’ in the streets, livin’ alone
and these are the very many but any of one life
who’s livin’ by the rules of the poor and the street lights
who’s sayin’ “what now” and went to the poor kid
but now we put the day in the life of the way it is

[outro]
you dig you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig? you dig?
can you dig it?
