What it’s Like - Rockin Rockers[00:00:00]
We've all seen a man at[00:00:23]
The liquor store begging for your change[00:00:24]
The hair on his face is dirty [00:00:28]
Dread-locked and full of mange[00:00:30]
He asks a man for what he could spare [00:00:34]
With shame in his eyes[00:00:37]
Get a job you f**king slob [00:00:39]
Is all he replies[00:00:42]
God forbid you ever had[00:00:45]
To walk a mile in his shoes[00:00:47]
Cause then you really might know[00:00:51]
What it's like to sing the blues[00:00:52]
Then you really might know what it's like[00:00:57]
Then you really might know what it's like[00:01:02]
Then you really might know what it's like[00:01:08]
Then you really might know what it's like[00:01:13]
Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom[00:01:31]
That said he was in love[00:01:33]
He said Don't worry about a thing baby doll[00:01:36]
I'm the man you've been dreaming of[00:01:38]
But 3 months later [00:01:42]
He say he won't date her or return her calls[00:01:43]
And she swear Goddamn if I find that man [00:01:47]
I'm cutting off his balls[00:01:50]
She heads for the clinic[00:01:53]
And she gets some static walking through the door[00:01:54]
They call her a killer [00:01:59]
And they call her a sinner[00:02:00]
And they call her a whore[00:02:01]
God forbid [00:02:04]
You ever had to walk a mile in her shoes[00:02:05]
Cause then you really might know[00:02:10]
What it's like to have to choose[00:02:11]
Then you really might know what it's like[00:02:16]
Then you really might know what it's like[00:02:21]
Then you really might know what it's like[00:02:27]
Then you really might know what it's like[00:02:33]
I've seen a rich man beg [00:02:38]
I've seen a good man sin[00:02:39]
I've seen a tough man cry [00:02:41]
I've seen a loser win[00:02:44]
And a sad man grin I heard an honest man lie[00:02:45]
I've seen the good side of bad[00:02:49]
And the downside of up[00:02:51]
And everything between[00:02:52]
I licked the silver spoon [00:02:55]
Drank from the golden cup[00:02:56]
And smoked the finest green[00:02:58]
I stroked the fattest dimes[00:03:00]
At least a couple of times[00:03:02]
Before I broke their heart[00:03:03]
You know where it ends yo [00:03:06]
It usually depends on where you start[00:03:07]
I knew this kid named Max[00:03:23]
Who used to get fat stacks out[00:03:25]
On the corner with drugs[00:03:26]
He liked to hang out late[00:03:29]
He liked to get sh*t-faced[00:03:30]
And keep the pace with thugs[00:03:32]
Until late one night [00:03:34]
There was a big old fight and Max lost his head[00:03:36]
He pulled out his chrome 45 [00:03:40]
Talked some sh*t and wound up dead[00:03:42]
Now his wife and his kids are caught[00:03:46]
In the midst of all of this pain[00:03:48]
You know it comes that way[00:03:51]
At least that's what they say[00:03:53]
When you play the game[00:03:54]
God forbid you ever had[00:03:57]
To wake up to hear the news[00:03:59]
Cause then you really might know[00:04:03]
What it's like to have to lose[00:04:04]
Then you really might know what it's like[00:04:09]
Then you really might know what it's like[00:04:14]
Then you really might know[00:04:20]
What it's like to have to lose[00:04:21]
