Lyrics My Shoes - Jared Evan

My Shoes

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
