Lyrics

[Verse 1]

You don't know my shoes

Hand-me-downs, busted soles

Roaches on the kitchen floor

Mama praying over bowls

Gunshots as a lullaby

Sirens sang us back to sleep

Uncle taught me dice and dope

Before I even learned to read

Corner store for dinner

Hot chips, soda, bag of hope

Best friend in a picture frame

Name written in candle smoke

Teacher said I’d be a stat

I just laughed, kept my cool

'Cause how you judge my whole life

From a desk and a book in a school

[Chorus]

You don't know my shoes

You don't know this walk I choose

All I ever knew was blocks

All I ever knew was lose

You don't know my pain

You don't know this broke man's blues

Talk about my life from far

But you don't know my shoes (nah)

You don't know my shoes (yeah)

[Verse 2]

Black skin, target on it

Got searched on the way to class

Hands up, still hands cuffed

They just saw my hoodie past

Daddy was a ghost to me

He just lived in mama’s eyes

Saw a man inside the mirror

Had to build him from the lies

Rap turned to therapy

Writing on them corner walls

Every bar a piece of truth

Every truth another scar

Judge me off the stories

Never ask me what I seen

You see records, I see faces

You see thug, I see a dream

[Chorus]

You don't know my shoes

You don't know this walk I choose

All I ever knew was blocks

All I ever knew was lose

You don't know my pain

You don't know this broke man's blues

Talk about my life from far

But you don't know my shoes (you don't)

You don't know my shoes (yeah, yeah)
