Walking In My Shoes

Yo this one goes out to all my immigrants, live Live up, don't give up Wait a minute, let me set the record straight You need to listen for a moment or two Hear the accent, don't get it twisted My momma didn't raise no fool I know you think that you got me figured out When you really haven't got a clue So take a lesson from this island boy This coconut may be smarter than you So I say Don't judge me, you don't know me Don't think I'm some small town phony Got nothing, up on me, you ain't walking in my shoes I'm just one out of many hailing from a third-world country Got nothing, up on me, you ain't walking in my shoes Learnt my lesson from my humble beginnings And I wouldn't have it no other way Became a man in the street of Kingston where Survival was the art of the day I choose the best as my main competition And I'm always on top of my game So don't be blinded by my race or my gender 'Cause we're really all one and the same So I say Don't judge me, you don't know me Don't think I'm some small town phony Got nothing, up on me, you ain't walking in my shoes I'm just one out of many, hailing from a Third World country Got nothing, up on me, you ain't walking in my shoes No, I won't stop, gotta make it to the top Hell no, I won't stop aiming for the sweet spot Powers to the bald heads and the dread locks Let me make it clear, no we won't flop Got a plan, got to make anyway I can Putting in the work with my own two hands Better check it, respect it, I'm a man, I'm a West Indian Don't judge me, you don't know me Don't think I'm some small town phony Got nothing, up on me, you ain't walking in my shoes I'm just one out of many, hailing from a Third World country Got nothing, up on me, you ain't walking in my shoes Don't judge me, you don't know me Don't think I'm some small town phony Got nothing, up on me, you ain't walking in my shoes I'm just one out of many, hailing from a Third World country Got nothing, up on me, you ain't walking in my shoes (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
