What it's like

by Everlast

We´ve all seen the man at the liquor store beggin´ for your change
The hair on his face is dirty, dreadlocked and full of mange
He asked a man for what he could spare with shame in his eyes
"Get a job, you fuckin´ slob"´s all he replied

God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes
´Cause then you really might know what it´s like to sing the blues
Then you really might know what it´s like [4x]

Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom who said he was in love
He said, "Don´t worry about a thing, baby doll, I´m the man you´ve been dreamin´ of."
But three months later he said he won´t date her or return her call
And she sweared, "God damn if I find that man I´m cuttin´ off his balls."
And then she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walkin´ through the door.
They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner, and they call her a whore

God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes
´Cause then you really might know what it´s like to have to choose
Then you really might know what it´s like [4x]

I´ve seen a rich man beg
I´ve seen a good man sin
I´ve seen a tough man cry

I´ve seen a loser win
And a sad man grin
I heard an honest man lie

I´ve seen the good side of bad
And the down side of up
And everything between

I licked the silver spoon
Drank from the golden cup
Smoked the finest green

I stroked the baddest dimes
At least a couple of times
Before I broke their heart

You know where it ends
Yo, it usually depends
On where you start

I knew this kid named Max
He used to get fat stacks
Out on the corner with drugs

He liked to hang out late
He liked to get shit faced
And keep pace with thugs

Until late one night
There was a big gun fight
Max lost his head

He pulled out his Colt.45
Talked some shit
And wound up dead

And now his wife and his kids
Are caught in the midst
Of all of his pain

You know it comes that way
At least that´s what they say
When you play the game

God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news
´Cause then you really might know what it´s like to have to lose
Then you really might know what it´s like [3x]
To have to lose...
