Walk A Mile In My Shoes chords by Twisted Black
Intro 1
Dm
Verse 1
Dm
Do you wanna walk a mile in my shoes?
Do you wanna live the life that I've lived?
Do you wanna spend one day,
just one night
On the pavement trying to beat me?
Do you wanna go to places I've gone
Maybe even see the things that I've seen
Do you wanna go against the grain
For the love and the pain
Cause you can't stop chasing green
Now imagine your pops died
when you was just 11 years young
But he taught you how to shoot his .22
for mere fun
And you ain't got no brothers
or no sisters
you can vent to
And daddy was a hustler
so the streets is where you went to
Smaller than the average
so they labeled you the outcast
Started packing pocket knives
and learned to pull them out fast
Never played sports
because it wasn't in your bloodline
Selling candy double what it's worth,
it was your good time
Switched to product
and now the rules is to outlast
Any nigga with it cause bottom line,
it's about cash
Mama tried her best
and sometimes she would whip on me
But mama hustled with daddy
and they spirits got a grip on me
Midwest, what you niggas
know about a kid vest?
Pulling in a G every day
and never did less
But that's me,
and that's just the way that life goes
I gots to walk, even though it ain't
the shoes that I chose
Do you wanna walk a mile in my shoes?
Do you wanna live the life that I've lived?
Do you wanna spend one day,
just one night
On the pavement trying to beat me?
Do you wanna go to places I've gone?
Maybe even see the things that I've seen?
Do you wanna go against the grain
Put the love in the bank
Can you imagine a 12 gauge
shot to your face,
10 years later still got the gunpowder
taste in your mouth,
leave a sting like it was
some toothpaste,
on top of that I done slipped up
and caught a new case for fighting laws,
plus I'm broke and my momma she done
married a man who's a dope fiend
and he keep showing love with his hands,
but I'm locked up
and I can't even chastise him,
and I forgot my gunshot
it left my left side limp, I'm a hustler
But I didn't fell in love with the king
I didn't went to snortin' raw
for camouflage of my pain
And I got kids,
and I can't even look in they eyes
I don't want them to figure out
that I'm a beast in disguise
I told the lord and the prey,
lace my shoes too tight
I read the bible front to back,
but still I won't do right
Cause I'm a fuck up,
and all I really know is the streets
And even though I'm out the south,
I keep on holdin' this heat
It's my shoes
Smile in my shoes
Do you wanna live the life that I feel?
Do you wanna spend one day,
just one night
On the pavement tryin' to beat me?
Do you wanna go to places I've gone
Maybe even see the things that I've seen?
Do you wanna go against the grain
For the love and the pain
If you can't stop chasin' green?
So I pace my streets without a conscience
Full -grown gorilla,
walk the beat just like a sergeant
From Barry to Miller,
you got some cake
and want to get it gone
Holla at Black,
cause I'm a hustler down to the bone
This ain't an act, now check my resume
And they'll tell you
Black moved weight
from here to San Diego
Disappear like a navel,
Black's akin to Mego
Come back with Quavo,
from white to the weak
To the China, to the Maybone
Niggas know I'm gang tight,
plus I got hands too 145 pounds,
better outman you
Bet I got more gangster,
more hustle, more class
Mo' battle scars with mo'
traps and mo' cash
Bet you can't see me on your best day
Bet you never see this nigga fold up
What nigga hold up?
Bet you I'm the truth
And I bet I penetrated through the youth
And I bet you can't walk in my shoes
Do you wanna walk a mile in my shoes?
Do you wanna live the life that I've lived?
Do you wanna spend one day,
just one night
On the pavement tryin' to beat me?
Do you want to go to places I've gone
Maybe even see the things that I've seen
Do you want to go against the grain
For the love and the pain
Cause you can't stop chasing green
