The Way It Is
Didn´ t I raised my voice
High enough for you
I was running like a fugitive all the time
Risking rejection from my own people yeah
Now that you´vegot what you wanted
You don´ t even know my name
It´ s so funny, we don´ t talk anymore
Be good to the people on your
Way up the ladder
Cause you´ ll need them on your way down

[Chorus]
That´ s The Way It Is

Didn´ t I raised my fists high enough for you
I guess I can´ t pat myself on the shoulder
For a job well done
Dodging bullets in the streets
I was there
Risking rejection from my own people yeah
Now that you got what you wanted
You don´ t even know my name
remember
Be good to the people on your way
Up the ladder ´cause you´ ll need
Them on your way down

[Chorus]
That´ s The Way It Is
