The White Shoes

歌詞

I had a lady once stop me on the street. I was wearing white shoes. And she says, "I'm glad you're sticking with the white shoes." She says, "It makes me feel good." Take this good advice If they're gonna judge you for life Say we can't always be fly We gon' be good long as them sneakers white You'll be alright Said you'll be alright Said you'll be alright Said you'll be alright Gucci iced out, whole hood had 'em Ice cream 'fore the hypebeasts that's into fashion Being forreal, yo try being Pharrell When your black ass in a back class, the fronting was real No Lauren London, we was on a budget You know, sharin' Old Navy so the army could be fresh in public Where the sneaker stores and laundromats get all the money 'Cause it ain't 'bout what you're doin', 'bout how you're lookin' When they love you for your status and your catalog And everybody got a jersey to play along Back then the hoes checkin' for your zapatos So even dirty niggas had the foams Take this good advice If they're gonna judge you for life Say we can't always be fly We gon' be good long as them sneakers white You'll be alright Said you'll be alright Said you'll be alright Said you'll be alright Biotech trainers on the way to work And we would quietly complain while Eric would lurk That was the PG Plaza manager, managin' us Yeah I'm standin' in Lucky 7s but slingin' them Lugz Still have them Js for the low, low, and I could get 'em early But I'm not without a conscience, I see people out there hurtin' Got 'em for Penny Foams that was bought at this very store And I think that was my shift, then again I'm not very sure And that's a lot that can get to ya When you're not sellin' drugs but the outcome is similar 'Cause out come them niggas with pistols, tellin' you give 'em up Now out come the moms with tissues 'cause you ain't give a fuck Free lunch for everyone, income was very uh On the second and 16th everyone would have every 1 And Reebok would carry pump, and that's not the scary part These niggas love white shoes so much they'd be buried in them I had a lady once stop me on the street. I was wearing white shoes. And she says, "I'm glad you're sticking with the white shoes." She says, "It makes me feel good." You'll be alright You'll be alright You'll be alright You'll be alright Take this good advice If they're gonna judge you for life Say we can't always be fly We gon' be good long as them sneakers white You'll be alright Said you'll be alright Said you'll be alright Said you'll be alright No matter how good or lavish us niggas got it We just a bunch of ravenous addicts living for fancy haberdashery
