"Walking In My Shoes"
Yo this one goes out to all my immigrants, you hear
Live up, don`t give up
Wait a minute let me set the record straight
You need to listen for a moment or two.
Hear the accent, don`t get it twisted
My momma didn`t raise no fool.
Though you think that you got me figured out
When you really haven`t got a clue.
So take a lesson from this island boy
This coconut may be smarter than you.
So i say
Don`t judge me
You dont know me
Don`t think I`m some small town phony
Got nothing, up on me
You ain`t walking in my shoes
I`m just one out of many
Hailin from a third-world country
Got nothing, up on me
You ain`t walking in my shoes
Learnt my lesson from my humble beginnings
And I wouldn`t have it no other way.
Became a man in the street of Kingston where
Survival was the art of the day.
I choose the best as my main competition
And I`m always on top of my game.
So don`t be blinded by my race or my gender
Coz we`re realy all one in the same
So I say
Don`t judge me
You dont know me
Don`t think I`m some small town phony
Got nothing, up on me
You ain`t walking in my shoes
I`m just one out of many
Hailin from a third world country
Got nothing, up on me
You ain`t walking in my shoes
No I won`t stop,
Gotta make it to the top.
Hell no i won`t stop,
Aimin for the sweet spot.
Powers to the bald heads and the dread locks
Let me make it clear
No we won`t flop.
Got a plan, got to make anyway I can
Putting in the work with my own two hands.
Better check it, respect it
I`m a man, i`m a West Indian
Don`t judge me
You dont know me
Don`t think I`m some small town phony
Got nothing, up on me
You ain`t walking in my shoes
I`m just one out of many
Hailin from a third world country
Got nothing, up on me
You ain`t walking in my shoes
