Walking In My Shoes - Shaggy

Yo this one goes out to all my immigrants, you hear

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.

Though 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 dont 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

Hailin 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

Coz we’re realy all one in the same

So I say

Don’t judge me You dont 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

Hailin 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,

Aimin 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 dont 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

Hailin from a third world country

Got nothing, up on me

You ain’t walking in my shoes

Don’t judge me You dont 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

Hailin from a third world country

Got nothing, up on me

You ain’t walking in my shoes

(yeah, yeah, yeah)
