suave - chapter 2: new shoes lyrics
[verse 1: suave]
what would you do, if i put you in my shoes
and i put you on the couch
you see an “n” on the news?
apparently they still want our necks on the noose
after all these years, they ain’t altered their views?
but we still push through, cuz its just old news
we try to make peace
but we end up having feuds
if i walk this road, i’ma need some new shoes
the journey’s kinda long when ain’t n-body witchu
we gotta get in line, but we missing they cues
you can leave a lot of hints, but i ain’t watching blue’s clues
y’all counting by the one’s, but i’m counting by the twos
i ain’t gonna go to sleep until i’ve paid my dues
so go ahead and chill, and have fun on the cruise
but i’ve got a little stain, and it’s deeper than a bruise
if i walk this road, i’ma need some new shoes
the journey’s kinda long when ain’t n-body witchu
and i’m tired
of being complacent
i’m a little too old to be scared of the basement
but it’s a little too late, to go and find a replacement
but as life goes on, you need to change ya arrangements
and i ain’t tryna look back when my plans start changing
i’m staring at the leaves where the blood is hanging
if you look ‘em in the eye you see the judgement ringing
when they lock us up in jail you hear the judges singing
it’s difficult to see when ya eyes are stinging
and it’s kinda hard to hear when the b-ss is banging
but i’m looking up to god and i’m always praying
y’all looking at me weird like, “what’s he saying?”
never take me serious like, “why you playing?”
and y’all b-mming off of me like, “are you paying?”
but i ain’t one to judge and that’s all i’m saying
cuz if i say another word then we’ll both be paying

so what would you do, if i put you in my shoes
and put you on the couch
you see an “n” on the news
apparently they still want our necks on the noose
after all these years, they ain’t altered their views
the only time we sleep is when we boxed up and viewed
and i ain’t one to cry when we sittin in the pews
if i walk this road, i’ma need some new shoes
the journey’s kinda long when ain’t n-body witchu
[verse 2] dependable skeleton
tell me how it feels
tell me how it feels
tell me is that shit real
tell me is that shit real?
tell me is that shit real?!
you don’t know how it feels to get shot by the cops
man, that shit don’t stop
those guns go “pop”
shit, i might be next
shit, i might be next
i need to go and protect my family
close your eyes and see
the other side of me
would you ride for me?
would you die for me?
b-tch don’t lie to me!
cuz i been there and i done that
shit, i don’t even really wanna come back
i know that shit too real for y’all
but i’m too real
fun fact
and i’m dying up inside
cuz i just wanna hide
but i have to stand and fight
we do it every night
for the trayvons and the mike browns
ferguson
f-ck zimmermann
f-ck wilson
we need to stand up
guys put ya hands up
don’t shoot please
and we just saints
no drew brees
i’m eighteen
it’s hard for a young black male
cuz society either wants you dead
or up in jail
