The Way It Is

I was running like a fugitive all the time
D              A                 E
  Risking rejection from my own people yeah
D              A
  Now that you got what you wanted
           E           D    A
You don't even know my name
                  E            D
It's so funny, we don't talk anymore

   A
Be good to the people on your way up the ladder
             E                     D
Cause you'll need them on your way down

           A          E        D

Didn't I raise my fists high enough for you

I guess I can't pat myself on the shoulder
      E        D
For a job well done
     A
Dodging bullets in the streets

Risking rejection from my own people
