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
