The Way It Is — текст песни (Lucky Dube)

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
