Lyrics

He was a young dude going to school playing by the rules
he played it smart instead of playing the fool
his grades was more than average but lesser than great
he wasn't poor didn't have everything but he's straight
but he got picked on for not having the hottest of gear
and for dreams of one day hoping to have a carreer
those other shorties would approach him with money and chains
said if he flipped a couple bricks see his lifestyle change
and he said damn look at ya'll dudes
look at ya chains look at my shoes I think I'm tryin to live it like you
and he began took the weight from they hand and started hustlin
and going back to school now ain't part of the plan
and now he's starting to get money now look at him now
serving fiends with some coke and a smile
now all his dreams isn't holdin him down
now his family lookin at him like damn son we don't even know you now
and now he's gone

in the same shoes what would you do?
it's the life you choose
do the right thing you might just lose
in the light eyes open and you might just snooze
it's the life of the broken heart iceing you
in the same shoes what would you do?
it's the life you choose
do the right thing you might just lose
in the light eyes open and you might just snooze
it's the life of the broken heart iceing you

she was only fourteen but developed as hell
see her mother was a fiend and her pops was in jail
she had another little brother that was younger than her
and yo her moms was so high that her life was a blur
she tried to hold em down while both of them frowned
she was stressed had some thoughts of running away to change her address
and nobody's looking out they don't care how she dressed
and no direction that would point her in the path of success
and then a man comes out of nowhere and looks at the kid
said I can fix up all your problems if you come to the crib
said I hope you don't mind the mess the way that I live
I got a plan if you do it then we'll both be rich
all you do is hit the corner looking sexy as shit
and if some dudes pull up next to you just suck on they dick
yo by the way when you get dough just give it to me
and now I got you and you're trapped and you'll never be free
and now she's gone
(hook)
in the same shoes what would you do?
it's the life you choose
do the right thing you might just lose
in the light eyes open and you might just snooze
it's the life of the broken heart iceing you
in the same shoes what would you do?
it's the life you choose
do the right thing you might just lose
in the light eyes open and you might just snooze
it's the life of the broken heart iceing you

He was an average Joe wife and some kids
worked alot doing overtime pushing trying to make sure they live
and his wifey had a job too was only parttime
but she was mad she never saw him out of sight out of mind
so when he came home tires as hell
he didn't have alot of energy for wifey or his children as well
as his children went to sleep and he laid out on the couch
wifey came into the living room running her mouth
trying to start some kind of argument to get out the house
after a couple months of this he started figuring her out
he got a stiier for the kids that would come to the house
right after wifey started beefin with her man and then bounce
he had a feeling where she might be and packed up the heat
hit the street in his pearl white limited jeep
saw her car at his mans crib and ready to kill
he pulled the trigger hit them both and then one to his grill
and now their gone
(hook)
in the same shoes what would you do?
it's the life you choose
do the right thing you might just lose
in the light eyes open and you might just snooze
it's the life of the broken heart iceing you
in the same shoes what would you do?
it's the life you choose
do the right thing you might just lose
in the light eyes open and you might just snooze
it's the life of the broken heart iceing you
