Everlast - What It's Like Lyrics
Weve all seen a man at the liquor store beggin for your changeThe hair on his face is dirty, dread-locked, and full of mangeHe asks a man for what he could spare, with shame in his eyesGet a job you ****ing slob, is all he repliesGod forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoescause then you really might know what its like to sing the bluesThen you really might know what its like...Then you really might know what its like...Then you really might know what its like...Then you really might know what its like...Mary got pregnant from a kid named tom that said he was in loveHe said, dont worry about a thing, baby dollIm the man youve been dreaming of.But 3 months later he say he wont date her or return her callsAnd she swear, God damn, if I find that man Im cuttin off his balls.And then she heads for the clinic andShe gets some static walking through the doorThey call her a killer, and they call her a sinnerAnd they call her a whoreGod forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoescause then you really might know what its like to have to chooseChorusIve seen a rich man begIve seen a good man sinIve seen a tough man cryIve seen a loser winAnd a sad man grinI heard an honest man lieIve seen the good side of badAnd the downside of upAnd everything betweenI licked the silver spoonDrank from the golden cupAnd smoked the finest greenI stroked the fattest dimes at least a couple of timesBefore I broke their heartYou know where it ends, yo, it usually depends on where you startI knew this kid named maxHe used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugsHe liked to hang out lateHe liked to get shit-faced and keep the pace with thugsUntil late one night there was a big gun fight and max lost his headHe pulled out his chrome .45, talked some shit, and wound up deadNow his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of this painYou know it crumbles that wayAt least thats what they say when you play the gameGod forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the newscause then you really might know what its like to have to loseThen you really might know what its like...Then you really might know what its like...Then you really might know what its like...to have to lose
