Everlast   
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 ask the man for what he could spare with shame in his eyes
Get a job you fuckin' slob's all he replied

CHORUS

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

CHORUS

(repeat 1..TO HAVE TO CHOOSE)
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 downside of up, and everything between
I licked the silver spoon, drank from the golden cup
And smoked the finest green
I stroked daddies 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

This kid named Max
Who used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs
He liked to hang out late
He liked to get shit-faced and keep the pace with thugs
Until late one night there was a big old fight and 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 this pain
You know it comes 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

Yeah, then you really might know what it's like(3)
to have to lose
