What It´s Like
(Indisponível)
We've all seen the man at the liquor store beggin for yourchange
the hair on his face is dirty, dreadlocked and full of mange
he asks a man for what he could spare with shame in his eyes
"get a job you fucking slob" is all he replied.
God forbid you ever had to walk mile in his shoes
cos then you really might know what its like to sing the blues
then you really might know what its like (what its like) X4
Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom who said he was in love
he said don't worry bout a thing baby doll, I'm the man you'vebeen dreamin of
but 3 months later he say he wont date her or return her calls
and she swear 'god damn if I find that man Im cutting off hisballs'
then she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walkingthrough the door
they call her a killer and they call her a sinner and they callher a whore
god forbid you ever had to walk mile in her shoes
then you really might know what its like to have to choose
then you really might know what its like (what its like) X4
Iv seen a rich man beg, Iv seen a good man sin, Iv seen a toughman cry
Iv seen a loser win and a sad man grin I heard an honest manlie
Iv seen the good side of bad and the down side of up andeverything between
I licked the silver spoon, drank from the golden cup and smokedthe finest green
I Stroked the fattest dimes at least a couple of times before Ibroke their hearts
you know where it is yo, it usually depends on where you start.
I knew this kid named max who used to get fat stacks out on thecorner with drugs
he liked to hang out late, he liked to get shit faced and keep apace with thugs
untill late one night there was a big gun fight and max lost hishead
he pulled out his crome .45 talked some shit and wound up dead
now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of thispain
you know it crumbles that way, at least thats what they say whenyou play the game
god forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news
then you really might know whats its like to have to lose
and then you really might know what its like (what its like)
then you really might know what its like (what its like)
then you really might know what its like (what its like)
to have to lose.
