We've all seen the man at the liquor store beggin for
yourchange
the hair on his face is dirty, dreadlocked and full of mange

he asks a man for what he could spare with shame in his eyes
"get a job you $#&@ing slob" is all he replied.


God forbid you ever had to walk mile in his shoes
cos then you really might know what its like to sing the
blues

then you really might know what its like (what its like) X4

and she swear 'god damn if I find that man Im cutting off

hisballs'

then you really might know what its like to have to choose
then you really might know what its like (what its like) X4


Iv seen a rich man beg, Iv seen a good man sin, Iv seen a
toughman cry

Iv seen a loser win and a sad man grin I heard an honest
manlie
Iv seen the good side of bad and the down side of up

andeverything between
I licked the silver spoon, drank from the golden cup and
smokedthe finest green

I Stroked the fattest dimes at least a couple of times before
Ibroke their hearts
you know where it is yo, it usually depends on where you

start.

I knew this kid named max who used to get fat stacks out on

thecorner with drugs
he liked to hang out late, he liked to get %#@! faced and keep
apace with thugs

untill late one night there was a big gun fight and max lost
hishead
he pulled out his crome .45 talked some %#@! and wound up

dead
now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of
thispain

you know it crumbles that way, at least thats what they say
whenyou play the game


god forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news
then you really might know whats its like to have to lose
and then you really might know what its like (what its like)

then you really might know what its like (what its like)
then you really might know what its like (what its like)
to have to lose.
