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 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 x4
|
|
|
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
|
