Ill Factor
My Shoes
[Verse 1]
I'm a kid still, can't handle being an adult
Been on Ritalin since birth, I guess I needed the control
Plus I'm very insecure, even put it in my rapping
If life was a bad movie, I'd be best supporting actor
What's being a cool kid like? I don't know
Always felt like I was the stupid type, now you know
Break promises I'm lazy, unreliable
Yeah my work ethic sucks, thank God they already paid me
I'm fake, an imitation of what I should be
I'm bad, even if it's in the good me
I'm jealous of my peers, always dwelling on my fears
My career's like a rear view mirror that I steer
So I cry with these ill street blues, I was born in a rich town
But poor with the judgement I choose
Still trying to blow up trying and make it in news
You think it's easy, you couldn't walk a mile in these shoes

[Hook]
And I've tried and tried enough
But nobody shows me love like I do
I'm calling em out
Now my soul is feeling numb
Cause it's always been so rough in my shoes
So walk in em, now

[Verse 2]
Walking on my own two, it's almost like I drew
Crooked lines
I wish that I was brand new, just so I can prove
Spotlight
Attention deficit I wish it came and it went, wait
I forgot what was I doing again?
And the teachers kicked him out, he couldn't play with his friends
Principal called his parents, made them break him again
Memories of all the trouble that I feel in my mind
Enstilled in my rhymes, I'm killing I'm the villian this time
Back when I got the deal, the kid that jimmy would sign
No reconstruction, but best believe the building is mine
I'm like voltron, I hold on for so long
But I won't transform into the someone that they want me to be
My destiny is what I choose
So go ahead and try to walk a mile in my shoes

[Hook]
And I've tried and tried enough
But nobody shows me love like I do
I'm calling em out
Now my soul is feeling numb
Cause it's always been so rough in my shoes
So walk in em, now

[Bridge]
The same tales they get told my friend
About the beaten shoes I'm walking in
And nothing goes my way, the sky is always grey
But I'm changing the story

[Hook x2]
And I've tried and tried enough
But nobody shows me love like I do
I'm calling em out
Now my soul is feeling numb
Cause it's always been so rough in my shoes
So walk in em, now
