[Chorus: CP]
Do you wanna walk a mile in my shoes?
Do you wanna live the life that I've lived?
Do you wanna spend one day, just one night
On the pavement tryna beat me?
Do you wanna go to places I've gone?
Maybe even see the things that I've seen?
Do you wanna go against the grain, for the love and the pain
'Cause you can't stop chasin' green?
[Verse 1: Twisted Black]
Now imagine your pops died when you was just 11 years young (Uh-huh)
But he taught you how to shoot his .22 for mere fun (Uh-huh)
And you ain't got no brothers or no sisters you can vent to (Okay)
And daddy was a hustler, so the streets is where you went to
Smaller than the average, so they labeled you the outcast
Started packin' pocket knives and learned to pull them out fast
Never played sports because it wasn't in your bloodlines (Ah-ah)
Sellin' candy double what it's worth it was your good time
Switched the product, and now the rules is to outlast
Any nigga with it, 'cause bottom line, it's about cash
Mama tried her best, and sometimes she would whip on me
But mama hustled with daddy, and their spirits got a grip on me (Whoa)
Midwest, what you niggas know about a kid that's (Uh-huh)
Pullin' in a G everyday and never did less? (Yeah)
But that's me, and that's just the way that life goes
I got to walk even though it ain't the shoes that I chose
[Chorus: CP & Twisted Black]
Do you wanna walk a mile in my shoes?
Do you wanna live the life that I've lived?
Do you wanna spend one day, just one night
On the pavement tryna beat me?
Do you wanna go to places I've gone? (Yes, sir)
Maybe even see the things that I've seen? (Okay)
Do you wanna go against the grain (A'ight), for the love and the pain (Yeah)
'Cause you can't stop chasin' green?
[Verse 2: Twisted Black]
Can you imagine a 12-gauge shot to your face? (Huh)
10 years later, still got the gunpowder taste in your mouth (Okay)
Leave a sting like it was some toothpaste (Yeah), on top of that
I done slipped up and caught a new case for fighting laws
Plus I'm broke (Uh), and my mama, she done married a man
Who's a dope fiend, and he keep showin' love with his hands
But I'm locked up (Man), and I can't even chastise him
And I forgot my gun shot, it left my left side limp
I'm a hustla, but I done fell in love with the 'caine (Uh)
I done went to snorting raw for camouflagin' my pain
And I got kids (Huh), and I can't even look in their eyes
I don't want them to figure out that I'm a beast in disguise
I told the Lord in the pray, "Laced my shoes too tight (Shoes too tight)
I read the Bible front to back, but still I won't do right (Won't do right)
'Cause I'm a fuck up, and all I really know is the streets"
And even though I'm out the South, I keep on holdin' this heat, it's my shoes
[Chorus: CP & Twisted Black]
Do you wanna walk a mile in my shoes?
Do you wanna live the life that I've lived?
Do you wanna spend one day, just one night
On the pavement tryna beat me?
Do you wanna go to places I've gone?
Maybe even see the things that I've seen?
Do you wanna go against the grain, for the love and the pain (Huh)
'Cause you can't stop chasin' green?
[Verse 3: Twisted Black]
So I pace my streets without a conscience (Uh-huh), full grown gorilla
Walk the beat just like a sergeant, from Berry to Miller
You got same cake, and want to get it gone? (Okay) Holler at Black
'Cause I'm a hustla down to the bone, this ain't a act (Ah-ah)
Now check my résumé (Huh), and they'll tell you Black move weight from
Here to San Diego (Okay), disappear like a Naval (Yeah)
Blaxican amigo (Okay), come back with Cuervo (Whoa)
With white, to the wheat (Yeah), to the China, to the maple (Uh)
Niggas know I'm game tight (Okay), plus I've got hands too
145 pounds, bet I outman you (What you got?)
Bet I've got more gangster (Uh-huh), more hustle, more class
More better scars with more traps and more cash (Oh yeah)
Bet you can't see me on your best day (Ah-ah-ah)
Bet you never see this nigga fold up — What, nigga? Hold up
Bet you I'm the truth (Yeah), and I bet I penetrate it through the youth (Can I?)
And I bet you can't walk in my shoes
[Chorus: CP]
Do you wanna walk a mile in my shoes?
Do you wanna live the life that I've lived?
Do you wanna spend one day, just one night
On the pavement tryna beat me?
Do you wanna go to places I've gone?
Maybe even see the things that I've seen?
Do you wanna go against the grain, for the love and the pain
'Cause you can't stop chasin' green?
