W.A.L.E. - The White Shoes Lyrics
[Skit]I had a lady once stop me on the street. I was wearing white shoes. And she says, "I'm glad you're sticking with the white shoes." She says, "It makes me feel good."[Hook]Take this good adviceIf they're gonna judge you for lifeSay we can't always be flyWe gon' be good long as them sneakers whiteYou'll be alrightSaid you'll be alrightSaid you'll be alrightSaid you'll be alright[Verse 1]Gucci S. Dots, whole hood had 'emIce cream 'fore the hypebeasts that's into fashionBeing forreal, yo try being PharrellWhen your black ass in a back class, the fronting was realNo Lauren London, we was on a budgetYou know, sharin' Old Navy so the army could be fresh in publicWhere the sneaker stores and laundromats get all the moneyCause it ain't 'bout what you're doin', 'bout how you're lookin'When they love you for your status and your catalogAnd everybody got a jersey to play alongBack then the hoes checkin' for your zapatosSo even dirty niggas had the foams[Hook][Verse 2]Biotech trainers on the way to workAnd we would quietly complain while Eric would lurkThat was the PG Plaza manager, managin' usYeah I'm standin' in Lucky 7s but slingin' them LugzStill have them Js for the low, low, and I could get 'em earlyBut I'm not without a conscience, I see people out there hurtin'Got 'em for Penny Foams that was bought at this very storeAnd I think that was my shift, then again I'm not very sureAnd that's a lot that can get to yaWhen you're not sellin' drugs but the outcome is similarCause out come them niggas with pistols, tellin' you give 'em upNow out come the moms with tissues cause you ain't give a *****Free lunch for everyone, income was very uhOn the second and 16th everyone would have every 1And Reebok would carry pump, and that's not the scary partThese niggas love white shoes so much they'd be buried in them[Skit][Bridge]You'll be alrightYou'll be alrightYou'll be alrightYou'll be alright[Hook][Outro]No matter how good or lavish us niggas got itWe just a bunch of ravenous addicts living for fancy haberdashery
