Walking in My Shoes

Got nothing, up on me you ain't walking in my shoes
You need to listen for a moment or two
Got nothing, up on me you ain't walking in my shoes
I choose the best as my main competition

And I wouldn't have it no other way

Don't think I'm some small town phony
Got nothing, up on me you ain't walking in my shoes
Don't judge me you don't know me
Wait a minute let me set the record straight
Better check it, respect it I'm a man, I'm a West Indian
Became a man in the street of Kingston where
When you really haven't got a clue
Learnt my lesson from my humble beginnings
This coconut may be smarter than you so I say
Got a plan, got to make anyway I can

Don't think I'm some small town phony
So take a lesson from this island boy
I'm just one out of many hailin' from a third world country
I'm just one out of many hailin' from a third world country
Putting in the work with my own two hands
No I won't stop, gotta make it to the top
I'm just one out of many hailin' from a third world country
Don't think I'm some small town phony
Don't judge me you don't know me
Powers to the bald heads and the dread locks
So don't be blinded by my race or my gender

Hell no i won't stop, aiming for the sweet spot
Though you think that you got me figured out
Don't judge me you don't know me
Got nothing, up on me you ain't walking in my shoes
Got nothing, up on me you ain't walking in my shoes
Hear the accent, don't get it twisted
'Coz we're really all one in the same so I say
Let me make it clear no we won't flop
My momma didn't raise no fool
Survival was the art of the day
Don't judge me you don't know me
I'm just one out of many hailin' from a third world country
Don't think I'm some small town phony
Got nothing, up on me you ain't walking in my shoes
And I'm always on top of my game
Got nothing, up on me you ain't walking in my shoes
Got nothing, up on me you ain't walking in my shoes
