Karaoké What It's Like Everlast

We've all seen the man at the liquor store beggin' for your change

The hair on his face is dirty dread locked and full of mange

He asks a man for what he could spare with shame in his eyes

Get a job you fucking slob is all he replies

God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes

'Cos then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues

Then you really might know what it's like

Then you really might know what it's like

Then you really might know what it's like

Then you really might know what it's like

Mary got pregnant from a kid named Tom that said he was in love

He said don't worry 'bout a thing, baby doll

I'm the man you've been dreaming of

But three months later he say he won't date her or return her call

And she swear

God damn if I find that man

I'm cuttin' off his balls

And then she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walking through the door

They call her a killer and they call her a sinner and they call her a whore

God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in her shoes

'Cos then you really might know what it's like to have to choose

Then you really might know what it's like

Then you really might know what it's like

Then you really might know what it's like

Then you really might know what it's like

I've seen a rich man beg

I've seen a good man sin

I've seen a tough man cry

I've seen a loser win and a sad man grin

I heard an honest man lie

I've seen the good side of bad and the downside of up and everything between

I licked the silver spoon drank from the golden cup and smoked the finest green

I stroked the baddest dimes at least a couple of times before I broke their heart

You know where it ends yo it usually depends on where you start

I knew this kid named Max who used to get fat stacks out on the corner with drugs

He liked to hang out late

He liked to get shit faced and keep the pace with thugs

Until late one night there was a big gun fight and Max lost his head

He pulled out his chrome forty five talked some shit and wound up dead

Now his wife and his kids are caught in the midst of all of this pain

You know it crumbles that way at least that's what they say when you play the game

God forbid you ever had to wake up to hear the news

'Cos then you really might know what it's like to have to lose

Then you really might know what it's like

Then you really might know what it's like

Then you really might know what it's like to have to lose
