The Way It Goes Lyrics

Been grinding for a long time, these dreams are gonna be mine. You wanna catch a ride to the top? Man, get in line. Nothing's gonna hold me back and nothing's gonna make me stop

I'm sticking to this path that I'm on cause it's all I know. You're latching on to me like a leach on a host. You're falling behind like another misguided ghost

That's the way it goes. Sick of the fakes that are holding me back. Sick of the weight that I got on my back. You're asking for help but I see no return. I worked for what I've earned. You're just like everyone else, you think I'm living the dream. Now you're asking for help. I worked for what I earned

Through the blood and the tears I stuck to the task while you stayed back at home and sat on your fucking ass. I'm making my moves, I'm not takin the slack. I'm making my moves and I'm not looking back
That's the way it goes. Sick of the fakes that are holding me back. Sick of the weight that I got on my back. You're asking for help but I see no return. I worked for what I've earned. You're just like everyone else, you think I'm living the dream. Now you're asking for help. I worked for what I earned

You're falling behind because you won't put in the work to bridge the gap between you and I. You say you're working hard but I know it's all just an act. It's a simple fact
You want the glory but you take the back door. I see no fruit from your labor. I see no sign that you could do anymore than what you've done already. You've fallen short and that's all your fault

That's the way it goes. Sick of the fakes that are holding me back. Sick of the weight that I got on my back. You're asking for help but I see no return. I worked for what I've earned. You're just like everyone else, you think I'm living the dream. Now you're asking for help. I worked for what I earned

Sick of the fakes that are holdin' me back. Sick of the weight that I got on my back. You're askin' for help but I see no return. Now you're asking for help. I worked for what I've earned
