1
We've all seen a man at the liquor store beggin' for your change
2
The hair on his face is dirty, dread-locked, and full of mange
3
He asks a man for what he could spare, with shame in his eyes
4
"Get a job you fucking slob," is all he replies
5
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes
6
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues
7
Then you really might know what it's like
8
Then you really might know what it's like
9
Then you really might know what it's like
10
Then you really might know what it's like
11
Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom that said he was in love
12
He said, "don't worry about a thing, baby doll I'm the man you've been dreaming of."
13
But three months later he say he won't date her or return her calls
14
And she swear, "god damn, if I find that man I'm cuttin' off his balls"
15
And then she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walking through the door
16
They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner and they call her a whore
17
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes
18
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose
19
Then you really might know what it's like
20
Then you really might know what it's like
21
Then you really might know what it's like
22
Then you really might know what it's like
23
I've seen a rich man beg I've seen a good man sin
24
I've seen a tough man cry
25
I've seen a loser win and a sad man grin
26
I heard an honest man lie
27
I've seen the good side of bad and the downside of up
28
And everything between
29
I licked the silver spoon drank from the golden cup
30
And smoked the finest green
31
I stroked the fattest dimes at least a couple of times
32
Before I broke their heart
33
You know where it ends, yo, it usually depends on where you start
34
I knew this kid named Max who used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs
35
He liked to hang out late he liked to get shit-faced and keep the pace with thugs
36
Until late one night there was a big gun fight and max lost his head
37
He pulled out his chrome .45, talked some shit, and wound up dead
38
Now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of this pain
39
You know it comes that way at least that's what they say when you play the game
40
God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news
41
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to lose
42
Then you really might know what it's like
43
Then you really might know what it's like
44
Then you really might know what it's like to have to lose
