- 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 ****ing 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 blues
- Then 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...
- Then you really might know what it's like...
- 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 choose
- Chorus
- 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 downside of up
- And everything between
- I licked the silver spoon
- Drank from the golden cup
- And smoked the finest green
- I stroked the fattest 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 the 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 shit, and wound up dead
- Now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of this 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...
- Then you really might know what it's like...
- Then you really might know what it's like...to have to lose
