Been there done that
Not even a debut album but...
We tasted music everywhere
Pusherman, come on
1st verse (24 bars):
I've been down for a long time
So I've got 10 notebooks full of old rhymes
Now let me open one of them
Honest and introduce to you my promised land
My moment of despise lies here with me
Strictly waiting for good times to hit me
It's the insecurity in me
I'm asking God for help, hoping he hears me
Fear me in this condition I'm in B.
It's clearly, the competition? It's easy
Please me, with a pen and some sick beats
That is all need in this place full of greed! Peace…
And my eyes tell sad stories
There ain't a minute in my life that I can't worry...
It ain't easy but I'm still standing
Illmatic, still doing what I can man
And I'm old fashion
So I'm demanding respect everywhere that I'm heading
It's like an old western
Because my temptations are scary like Otis Reading
Lately I'm hearing these things man
Maybe I'm visualizing the end friend
It can't be, ore is it just it my head damn
I'm going crazy like the spirit of an old man
But frailty, is the reason of my drama
I told my mama, she responded melodramatic
Jesus, I can't control my feelings,
I'm bleeding, so far I could not see it
CHORUS:
Take a walk in my shoes now
Gotta prevent that fall down
Tired of the system that fools around
Trough all the struggles I still stand and I kick back
It's self-defense, be my witness
2nd verse:
This is my life I'm conversating
And it's my mind I tried to play with
At times I'm crazy, I know my baby
Felt down so many times, so lately
I apologize to all my guys
Do you hear the violin in my heart cry?
I mean it, I'm sorry for the mean man in my past
I don't need to be forgiven but I hope y'all understand
This my soul, I express it in pieces
believe me, 'till the day I'll succeed and
I Try to be wise like a jazz player
I travel like Gulliver to the next stages
Ain't afraid of what's crossing my path
I'm a man and fear ain't a part of my big plan
I still stand... staring the ceiling
searching to the peace within
CHORUS:
Take a walk in my shoes now
Gotta prevent that fall down
Tired of the system that fools around
Trough all the struggles I still stand and I kick back
It's self-defense, be my witness
3rd verse (8bars):
Dear Lord, I know I have sinned
Yeh I did some things, it's time to admit
Time to let my heart spit raw slicks
I walked too long with a negative conscience
Knowledge is what I'm about
Before I let You know I spit it to the crowd
Picture living your life on the line
Doing crime, hurting God every time when you rhyme
CHORUS:
Take a walk in my shoes now
Gotta prevent that fall down
Tired of the system that fools around
Trough all the struggles I still stand and I kick back
It's self-defense, be my witness
CHORUS:
Take a walk in my shoes now (Take a walk in my shoes son)
Gotta prevent that fall down (Gotta prevent all this shit baby)
Tired of the system that fools around (I'm so motherfucking tired man)
This is a snippet of the realness, the real shit, and those who listen gotta feel it
