Lyrics: Lucky Dube. Is This the Way.

Is this the way you want it to be?
Is this the way it's gonna be
It's gonna be, it's gonna be?

Oh my God, oh my God
What we gonna do in this world
In this world we live in
In this world we live in

I see these men everyday at the corner
Of Queens and Commissioner
Begging for a dollar everyday
Begging for a dime everyday

Trying to make a living out there
But it's so hard
But it's so hard
But it's so hard

Begging for a dollar
Begging for a dime
Begging for a dollar
Begging for a dime

One of them swallowed his pride
His broken pride and came to me he said
I quit, I give up life is a game
What are the rules?

What did I do to deserve this?
Begging for a dollar everyday
Begging for a dime everyday
Trying to make a living out there

Begging for a dollar
Begging for a dime, oh oh oh
Begging for a [unverified]

Begging for a dollar
Begging for a dime, oh oh oh
Begging for a [unverified]

Begging for a dollar
Begging for a dime, oh oh oh
Begging for a [unverified]
