Walking In My Shoes
Yo this one goes out to all my immigrants, live
Live up, don't give up
Wait a minute, let me set the record straight
You need to listen for a moment or two
Hear the accent, don't get it twisted
My momma didn't raise no fool
I know you think that you got me figured out
When you really haven't got a clue
So take a lesson from this island boy
This coconut may be smarter than you
So I say
Don't judge me, you don't know me
Don't think I'm some small town phony
Got nothing, up on me, you ain't walking in my shoes
I'm just one out of many hailing from a third-world country
Got nothing, up on me, you ain't walking in my shoes
Learnt my lesson from my humble beginnings
And I wouldn't have it no other way
Became a man in the street of Kingston where
Survival was the art of the day
I choose the best as my main competition
And I'm always on top of my game
So don't be blinded by my race or my gender
'Cause we're really all one and the same
So I say
Don't judge me, you don't know me
Don't think I'm some small town phony
Got nothing, up on me, you ain't walking in my shoes
I'm just one out of many, hailing from a Third World country
Got nothing, up on me, you ain't walking in my shoes
No, I won't stop, gotta make it to the top
Hell no, I won't stop aiming for the sweet spot
Powers to the bald heads and the dread locks
Let me make it clear, no we won't flop
Got a plan, got to make anyway I can
Putting in the work with my own two hands
Better check it, respect it, I'm a man, I'm a West Indian
Don't judge me, you don't know me
Don't think I'm some small town phony
Got nothing, up on me, you ain't walking in my shoes
I'm just one out of many, hailing from a Third World country
Got nothing, up on me, you ain't walking in my shoes
Don't judge me, you don't know me
Don't think I'm some small town phony
Got nothing, up on me, you ain't walking in my shoes
I'm just one out of many, hailing from a Third World country
Got nothing, up on me, you ain't walking in my shoes
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Live up, don't give up
Wait a minute, let me set the record straight
You need to listen for a moment or two
Hear the accent, don't get it twisted
My momma didn't raise no fool
I know you think that you got me figured out
When you really haven't got a clue
So take a lesson from this island boy

Don't think I'm some small town phony
Got nothing, up on me, you ain't walking in my shoes
I'm just one out of many hailing from a third-world country
Got nothing, up on me, you ain't walking in my shoes

Got nothing, up on me, you ain't walking in my shoes
(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
