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 (the way it is)
That's the way it is (the way it is)
That's the way it is (the way it is)
That's the way it is (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
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 (the way it is)
That's the way it is (the way it is)
That's the way it is (the way it is)
That's the way it is (the way it is)
That's the way it is (the way it is)
That's the way it is (the way it is)
That's the way it is (the way it is)
