Lyrics
Lucky Dube The Way It Is
Didn’t I raise my voice
High enough for youI was running like a fugitive all the timeRisking rejection from my own people, yeahNow that you got what you wantedYou don’t even know my nameIt’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, oh no (the way it is)
Didn’t I raise my fists high enough for youI guess I can pat myself on the shoulderFor a job well doneDodging bullets in the streets, I was thereRisking rejection from my own people
Now that you got what you wantedYou don’t even know my nameRemember
Be good to the people on your way up the ladder‘Cause you’ll need them on your way downThat’s the way it is (the way it is)The way it is, yeah (the way it is)That’s the way it is (the way it is)That’s the way it is (the way it is)And 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)The way it is (the way it is)That’s the way it is

Be good to the people on your way up the ladder‘Cause you’ll need them on your way downThat’s the way it is, oh no (the way it is)That’s the way it is
Be good to the people on your way up the ladder‘Cause you’ll need them on your way downThat’s the way it is (the way it is)That’s the way it is
Be good to the people on your way up the ladder‘Cause you’ll need them on your way down
