Everlast, what is like.

• Fecha: 30 May 2009

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 ask the man for what he could spare with shame in his eyes
Get a job you fuckin’ slob’s all he replied

[CHORUS]
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 [x4]

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 doors
They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner, and they call her a whore

[CHORUS]
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 [x4]

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, 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 daddy’s dimes at least a couple of times, before I broke their heart
You know where it ends, 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 at night, 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 chrome 45, talked some shit and wound up dead
Now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of his pain
You know it crumbles that way, at least that’s what they say when you play the game

[CHORUS]
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 [x3]
To have to lose…
