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
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 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 (X4)To have to lose...
