Everlast - What its like (lyrics)

Everlast - What Its Like

We've all seen the man at the liquor store beggin' for your change
The hair on his face is dirty, dreadlocked and full of mange
He ask the man for what he could spare with shame in his eyes
Get a job you fuckin' slob's all he replied

[CHORUS]
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues
Then you really might know what it's like [x4]

Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom who said he was in love
He said don't worry about a thing baby doll I'm the man you've been dreamin' of
But three months later he said he won't date her or return her call
And she sweared god damn if I find that man I'm cuttin' off his balls
And then she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walkin' through the doors
They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner, and they call her a whore

[CHORUS]
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose
Then you really might know what it's like [x4]

I've seen a rich man beg
I've seen a good man sin
I've seen a tough man cry
I've seen a loser win
And a sad man grin
I heard an honest man lie
I've seen the good side of bad
And the down side of up
And everything between
I licked the silver spoon
Drank from the golden cup
Smoked the finest green
I stroked the fattest dimes at least a couple of times
Before I broke their heart
You know where it ends
Yo, it usually depends on where you start

I knew this kid named Max
He used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs
He liked to hang out late at night
Liked to get shit faced
And keep pace with thugs
Until late one night there was a big gun fight
Max lost his head
He pulled out his chrome .45
Talked some shit
And wound up dead
Now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of his pain
You know it crumbles that way
At least that's what they say when you play the game

[CHORUS]
God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to lose
Then you really might know what it's like [x3]

To have to lose...

this song is for all the people who judge before you even get to know someone, you never know. the kid in the back who picks his nose could be the nicest guy youve ever met. Or the homeless kid who sleeps outside the school at night but still goes, alot of people dont know what some of these people have gone through. This song means alot to me and if you judge before you learn you can never know. I love this song

[mxjunkie28]

[879korn]

@sk8board82 lol im sure your a saint

[sistasizzle]

@gijoyojo1 lol, so hot headed you are! seriously calm down and take a chill pill. you are too quick to react. lmfao @ you calling me a "tough guy." nothing about what I said was threatening or insinuating I am "tough." just stating plain facts. ;)

[gijoyojo1]

@sistasizzle Well I was drunk and I kind of thought that the next day.Especially since he didn't respond.Well since your a keyboard tough guy and I'm just a moron as you say,fuck you too!

[sistasizzle]

@gijoyojo1 he is not really gay...he is actually bashing gays. just a troll looking for that exact reaction from you. moron. you obviously aren't open minded.

[gijoyojo1]

@gaybathroomsex This reminds me of why I would put all you faggots in a concentration camp for butt fucking faggots if it were up to me!I try SO hard to be open minded and except gays for whaty they are,then queers like you say shit like this.You should be shot faggot!

We always heard the lyric "god forbid that you had to walk a mile with a jew"! Just one of those songs that gives us the message that Hitler was trying to tell us, that didn't get well-received as he tried to redeem his charisma before the 1940s. Ya know, but we gay dudes idolize Hitler even though the real Hitler and the Nazis hated gays. In fact, we even sodomize buttholes when we vibrate the subwoofer to loosen the orgasmic nerves. I could sodomize Larry Craig in an airport bathroom!

I want to thank my sister for sending this awesome song to me, while she is sitting in the room next to me, a little more value in my life; a little more wisdom. Awesome and touching song. <3
