1. What it's Like

   Lyrics: What it's 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 asks a man for what he could spare with shame in his eyes
   But, "Get a job, you fuckin' slob!" is all he replied
   Well, 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
   
   Yeah, then you really might know what it's like (what it's like, what it's like)
   Yeah, then you really might know what it's like (what it's like, what it's like)
   Yeah, then you really might know what it's like (what it's like, what it's like)
   Yeah, then you really might know what it's like
   
   Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom, he 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 say he won't date her or return her call
   And she swear, "Goddamn, if I find that man, cuttin' off his balls!"
   
   And then she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walkin' through the door
   They call her a killer and they call her a sinner and they call her a whore
   But 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
   
   Well, then you really might know what it's like (what it's like, what it's like)
   Then you really might know what it's like (what it's like, what it's like)
   Yeah, then you really might know what it's like (what it's like, what it's like)
   Then you really might know what it's like
   
   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 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
   
   (Good mornin') I knew this kid named Max, he used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs
   He liked to hang out late, he liked to get shitfaced and keep the pace with thugs
   Until late one night, there was a big gunfight and Max lost his head
   He pulled out his chrome .45, talked some shit and wound up dead
   
   And now his wife and his kids are caught in midst of all of this pain
   You know it crumbles that way, at least that's what they say when you play the game
   Well, 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
   
   Yeah, then you really might know what it's like (what it's like, what it's like)
   Yeah, then you really might know what it's like (what it's like, what it's like)
   Yeah, then you really might know what it's like (what it's like, what it's like)
   To have to lose
