brown bag allstars - in his shoes lyrics

[verse 1] soul khan
yo
she puts a pair of black heels on and looks in the mirror at a pair of dark circles under eyes that are peering at her
she gives herself a pep talk like every other morning
then pops a pill to level out like when we’re done recording
it’s a battlefield from her door to the train, ‘cause every man’ll feel like he could get her mood to change
on some “baby girl, baby girl. d+mn your body fly as such”
they never seem to comment on her heart and mind as much
she went from loving her curves that her mama gave her
to disgusted and disturbed from their raw behaviour
she stumbles toward the platform, the train squeals in close
and then she breaks down and not because her heel just broke

[hook]

[verse 2] audible doctor
he lace his boots up tight, he never know when it’ll pop off
it sounds like bottle rockets flying, they lying with tops lost
the feeble he’d come to know, but never too well
of all you can be, that sentence seemed to sentence him to h+ll
he fell for it
dwells on the marks on the paper made to say they own him
he sent his fate with a paper mate, and man he ain’t known then
see pencils can erase mistakes but ink sinks in
he’s thinking his sins won’t fade away
the day to day, passes, he lacks the hope, so he stays awake and feels great
harassing locals
ashamed what the situation made him into
but who are we to say until we stepped in his shoes
[hook]

[verse 3] j57
so walk a mile in his shoes, let me show you
bottle clutched to his side, he can barely stand up on his own two
messed up, too many drugs, drunk
same exact reason that his daughter won’t pick up his phone calls
no more soul now
to the liquor store where he buys even more wishing he could hide his pain
people stopping and they’re staring in the street, call him names
and he gotta be his own worst enemy, all the same
and he knows that more with every step he takes
and he’s feeling like a dead man walking to his grave
seeing unfamiliar faces in a place he’s always known
cops another bag of blow, wonders why he’s all alone

[hook]

[verse 4] koncept
the alarm strikes 9:05 in the a.m
another day of [?] in disguise ‘til the day ends
we’re always told that this world’s the right way to live
then how come life is a fight to pay the price for this
and, never see a benefit for ever seeing deficits
[?] together dreaming never gets
never got a college loan, not my fault my father’s broke
a week in, a month off, never brought a dollar home
see, wasn’t taught that i should’ve fought more for him
the front door shut, dreams are crushed, they’ve fallen
black suit, black tie, loosen up the black shoes
never want to put on and face it, but i had to
[hook]
