The Way It Is lyrics with English Translations
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
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
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)
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
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)
