[001] Everlast - What It's Like (cover) with Misha Leah [Explicit Lyrics]

Josh Snider singing, playing piano and djembe with Misha Leah playing guitar and back up vocals.

Lyrics
We've all seen a man at the liquor store beggin' for your change
The hair in his face and dirty dreadlocks full of mange
He asks the man for water to spare with shame in his eyes
Get a job you fuckin' is all he replies
God forbid you ever have to walk a mile in his shoes
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 dreaming of
Now three months later he won't date her or return her calls
She swears goddamn if I see that man I'm cuttin' off his balls
She heads to the clinic and gets some static as she walks through the door
They call her a killer and they call her a sinner and they call her a whore
Got forbid you ever have to walk a mile in her shoes
Then you really might know what it's like to have to chose
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
and smoked the finest green
I stroked a couple of dimes
at least a couple of times
before I broke their heart
you know where it ends
it usually depends on where you start

I knew this kid named Max
who used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs
He liked to hang out late at night
Get shitfaced and keep the peace with thugs
Until late one night when he wants to pick a fight
And Max lost his head
He pulled out his chrome 45' talked some shit and then wound up dead
Now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all this pain
You know it crumbles that way, you know that's what they say when you play the game
God forbid you ever have to wake up to hear the news
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
