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 baddest 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 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

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...
