1
We've all seen the man at the liquor store beggin' for your change
2
The hair on his face is dirty, dreadlocked and full of mange
3
He ask the man for what he could spare with shame in his eyes
4
Get a job you fuckin' slob's all he replied
5
CHORUS
6
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes
7
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues
8
Then you really might know what it's like (X4)
9
Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom who said he was in love
10
He said don't worry about a thing baby doll I'm the man you've been dreamin' of
11
But three months later he said he won't date her or return her call
12
And she sweared god damn if I find that man I'm cuttin' off his balls
13
And then she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walkin' through the doors
14
They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner, and they call her a whore
15
CHORUS
16
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes
17
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose
18
Then you really might know what it's like (X4)
19
I've seen a rich man beg
20
I've seen a good man sin
21
I've seen a tough man cry
22
I've seen a loser win
23
And a sad man grin
24
I heard an honest man lie
25
I've seen the good side of bad
26
And the down side of up
27
And everything between
28
I licked the silver spoon
29
Drank from the golden cup
30
Smoked the finest green
31
I stroked daddies dimes at least a couple of times
32
Before I broke their heart
33
You know where it ends
34
Yo, it usually depends on where you start
35
I knew this kid named Max
36
He used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs
37
He liked to hang out late at night
38
Liked to get shit faced
39
And keep pace with thugs
40
Until late one night there was a big gun fight
41
Max lost his head
42
He pulled out his chrome .45
43
Talked some shit
44
And wound up dead
45
Now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of his pain
46
You know it crumbles that way
47
At least that's what they say when you play the game
48
CHORUS
49
God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news
50
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to lose
51
Then you really might know what it's like (X4)To have to lose...
