What It's Like
Erik Schrody
We've all seen a 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
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues
Then you really might know what it's like (what it's like)
Then you really might know what it's like (what it's like)
Then you really might know what it's like (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 about a thing, baby doll, I'm the man you've been dreaming of"
Three months later he say he won't date her or return her calls
And she swear, "Goddamn, 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
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to choose
Then you really might know what it's like (what it's like)
Then you really might know what it's like (what it's like)
Then you really might know what it's like (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 (uh)
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
Stroked the fattest 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 gunfight and Max lost his head
He pulled out his chrome .45, 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 comes 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
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to have to lose
Then you really might know what it's like (what it's like)
Then you really might know what it's like (what it's like)
Then you really might know what it's like (what it's like)
To have to lose
We've all seen a man at the liquor store beggin' for your change
Todos hemos visto al tipo en la licorería mendigando por monedas
The hair on his face is dirty, dread-locked, and full of mange
El cabello en su cara está sucio, hecho rastas, y lleno de grasa
He asks a man for what he could spare, with shame in his eyes
Él le pide a un hombre lo que pudiera dar, con pena en los ojos
"Get a job you fucking slob," is all he replies
"Consigue trabajo, puto flojo", es todo lo que contesta
God forbid you ever had to walk a mile in his shoes
Dios nos cuide de caminar una milla en sus zapatos
'Cause then you really might know what it's like to sing the blues
Porque entonces en realidad sabrás lo que es cantar el blues
Then you really might know what it's like (what it's like)
Entonces en realidad sabrás lo que es (lo que es)

And then she heads for the clinic and she gets some static walking through the door
Y ella se dirige a la clínica y le da estática al entrar por la puerta
They call her a killer, and they call her a sinner and they call her a whore
Ellos la llaman asesina, y le dicen pecadora y la llaman puta

Todos nós já vimos um homem na loja de bebidas pedindo por sua troca

Allora potresti davvero sapere com'è (com'è)
