The Way It Is lyrics

Didn't I raise 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 got 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 That's the way it is Didn't I raise 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 That's the way it is
