  • 作曲 : Marc Martel/Jason Germain
    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

    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

    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
    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 daddies 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 at night
    Liked to get **** 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 ****
    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

    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 (X4)
    To have to lose...
