We've all seen a man at the liquor store beggin' for your change
The hair on his face is dirty, dread-locked, and full of mange
He asks a man for what he could spare, with shame in his eyes
"Get a job you f*ck*ng slob," is all he replies
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 bluesChorus
Then you really might know what it's like...(x4)Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom that said he was in love
He said, "Don't worry about a thing, baby doll
I'm the man you've been dreaming of."
But 3 months later he say he won't date her or return her calls
And she swear, "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 walking 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 chooseI knew this kid named Max
who used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs
He liked to hang out late
he liked to get sh*t-faced and keepin' pace with thugs
Until late one night there was a big gun
fight and Max lost his head
He pulled out his chrome .45, talked
some sh*t, and wound up dead
Now his wife and his kids are caught in
the midst of all of this 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 loseThen you really might know what it's like...
Then you really might know what it's like...
Then you really might know what it's like...to have to lose
