Good Shoes

Before you walk my path you better have your good shoes
With traction otherwise, you'll slip and slide
Before you overcome my hurdles wear your good shoes
The kind that if you jump you might just fly
Before you walk my path you better have your good shoes
With traction otherwise, you'll slip and slide
Before you overcome my hurdles wear your good shoes
The kind that if you jump you might just fly

Look, uh
I swear the way you ended up yeah it's a shame
We missed the signs, before it pours it always rains
Life ain't so kind you'll take a loss before your gains
You never grew except addicted to cocaine
Then you went and let decline hit you
I won't front I watched you struggle
Did a couple lines with you
Using vices for advice, getting faded till we nice
Fuckin', drinking, smoking
Smoking, drinking, fuckin' it was life
(That shit was life)
Look here we been through shit
Get through it quicker with some liquor put an end to this
We grab a pint, we roll one up
Like we gon' Zen through this
But she can't drink that Henry straight
Or she'll get bent too quick

Before you walk my path you better have your good shoes
With traction otherwise, you'll slip and slide
Before you overcome my hurdles wear your good shoes
The kind that if you jump you might just fly
Before you walk my path you better have your good shoes
With traction otherwise, you'll slip and slide
Before you overcome my hurdles wear your good shoes
The kind that if you jump you might just fly

Nigga that first verse, just a tease
No George Floyd had to let shit breathe
But now my knee on the neck of supremacy vets
While they leak and I let them bleed
I been through Hell, when y'all gone learn
Pigs set fire and they watch shit burn
I done seen narcs that bark and talk that talk
Turn bitch when the shits our turn
Just like right now, we in these streets
Black Lives bitch let it sink in deep
And fuck four-five, unless we ride
And fuck them tears nigga less we die

Before you walk my path you better have your good shoes
With traction otherwise, you'll slip and slide
Before you overcome my hurdles wear your good shoes
The kind that if you jump you might just fly
Before you walk my path you better have your good shoes
With traction otherwise, you'll slip and slide
Before you overcome my hurdles wear your good shoes
The kind that if you jump you might just fly
