| | 131 | [Verse 1]: |
|---|
| | 132 | We've all seen the man at the liquor store beggin' for your change |
|---|
| | 133 | The hair on his face is dirty, dreadlocked and full of mange |
|---|
| | 134 | He ask a man for what he could spare with shame in his eyes |
|---|
| | 135 | "Get a job, you fucking slob" is all he replies |
|---|
| | 136 | |
|---|
| | 137 | [Pre-Chorus]: |
|---|
| | 138 | God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes |
|---|
| | 139 | 'Cause then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues |
|---|
| | 140 | |

| | 147 | [Verse 2]: |
|---|
| | 148 | Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom who said he was in love |
|---|
| | 149 | He said "Don't worry about a thing, baby doll, I'm the man you've been dreamin' of" |
|---|
| | 150 | But three months later he say he won't date her or return her calls |
|---|
| | 151 | And she swear, "Goddamn, If I find that man I'm cuttin' off his balls" |
|---|
| | 152 | And then she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walkin' through the door |
|---|
| | 153 | They call her a killer and they call her a sinner and they call her a whore |
|---|
| | 154 | |
|---|
| | 155 | [Pre-Chorus]: |
|---|
| | 156 | God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes |
|---|
| | 157 | 'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose |
|---|
| | 158 | |
|---|
| | 159 | [Chorus]: |
|---|
| | 160 | Then you really might know what it's like (What it's like) |
|---|
| | 161 | Then you really might know what it's like (What it's like) |
|---|
| | 162 | Then you really might know what it's like (What it's like) |

|---|
| | 165 | [Bridge]: |
|---|
| | 166 | I've seen a rich man beg, I've seen a good man sin, I've seen a tough man cry |
|---|
| | 167 | I've seen a loser win and a sad man grin, I heard an honest man lie |
|---|
| | 168 | I've seen the good side of bad and the down side of up and everything in between |
|---|
| | 169 | I licked the silver spoon, drank from the golden cup and Smoked the finest green |
|---|
| | 170 | I stroked the baddest of dimes at least a couple of times before I broke they heart |
|---|
| | 171 | You know where it ends, yo, it usually depends on where you start |
|---|
| | 172 | |
|---|
| | 173 | [Verse 3]: |
|---|
| | 174 | I knew this kid named Max, who used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs |
|---|
| | 175 | He like to hang out late, he like to get shit-faced and keep pace with thugs |
|---|
| | 176 | Until late one night there was a big gun fight and Max lost his head |
|---|
| | 177 | He pulled out his chrome .45, talked some shit and wound up dead |
|---|
| | 178 | Now his wife and his kids are caught up in the midst of all of this pain |
|---|
| | 179 | You know it crumbles that way, at least that's what they say when they play the game |
|---|
| | 180 | |
|---|
| | 181 | [Pre-Chorus]: |
|---|
| | 182 | God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news |
|---|
| | 183 | 'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to lose |
