Everlast - What It's Like official video with lyrics!

From the album "Whitey Ford Sings the Blues"

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

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

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

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...

I just gotta say, I met a "man at the liquor store" a few years back. He was a Vietnam veteran "begging for change", I took him to a mexican joint and we ran up $120 in drinks and food he crashed at my place, I gave him 40 bucks and didn't see him for another 3 years when I was at wal*mart he worked in the deli and he gave me back my 40, and told me he had an apartment now. I go over there once in a while and smoke "the finest green" with him.

I'm a general manager at sonic. I have people come to me all the time saying they are homeless & hungry. I feed them, knowing that some of them are scamming us. But I feed them anyways. The way I look at it is, I'm doing the right thing,I'm feeding a hungry person. If they are lying to me then that's on them. Karma always goes around & as long as I've done what's right, then that's all that matters.

@neverwoner He wasn't judging dumb ass, he was just being a nice guy and helping the guy out. And obviously the guy got back on his feet if he has a job, even if it's at Wal-Mart and payed back his dues.

I love this song so much and im seriously crying because this stuff happens every day to people who dont deserve it so to all those fuckers who abuse people and they dont know the whole story piss off

[Athena2712]

@dawnhaight As Someone that would be on the other side of the counter hungry and hopeless thank God for what you do.And like you said if they arent being honest "karma".You are a very wonderful person.Think of how great the world would be if more people were like you.Thanks!!!!!!!!!!

[Athena2712]

Been pretty much homeless for quiet awhile now.Staying between shelters and friends.never thought it would happen to me.Its not because of drugs or nothin.seperating from my husband landed me here.Wouldnt go back to that abuse for nothing.Staying with a friend now,no telling how long.song just reminds me that life can kick you in the ass and not to judge because one day you may end up in that situation.Whish me luck :)
