Secondhand Sneakers
Walk a mile in my shoes
With the holes in the toes
I don’t have any goals
And everybody’s smoking bowls
I wish I had the courage
I wish I had the strength
When everyone is beating you down
And it looks like there’s no hope around
At least you got sneakers
Never mind these speakers
Talking about Medicare
You wouldn’t dare
You got too much pride
Go deep down inside
To that place that you hide
And your alone
Never mind the broken bones
Or the scars on your face
Your alone in this place
We all live in disgrace
When your holding the Ace
And they think they have the royal flush
Girls just blush
Move right on by
and you know they can try
What we do to survive?
But alone we can’t thrive
I don’t know how to drive
Can you lend me a five
So I can take an Uber
To that hell I call home
and you’re built to roam
With these windows nailed shut
Just another mutt
can you feel it in your gut?
And you’ve done nothing wrong
Just remember your strong
There’s somewhere you belong
