The Way It Is |
| 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 |
| Chorus: |
| That' s the way it is Didn' t I raise 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 |
