My Shoes - Jared Evan

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

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

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

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

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

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
