Shaggy – Walking In My Shoes lyrics

Yo, this one goes out
to all my immigrants who live
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 it figured out
Well, really, I don't got a clue
So take a lesson from this island boy
This coconut maybe smarter than you
So i say

Chorus
Don't judge me
You dont know me
Don't think i'm some small town phony
Got nothing, upon me
You ain't walking in my shoes
I'm just one out of many
Living from a third-world country
Got nothing, upon me
You ain't walking in my shoes

Learnt my lessons from a humble beginning
And i wouldn't have it no other way
Became a man in the street of Kingston Bay
So far it was just the other day
Choose the best as my main competition
And i'm always at the top of my game
So don't be blinded by my race or my gender
Cuz all i wanted to say
So i say

Repeat chorus

No i won't stop
Gotta make it to the top
Hell no i won't stop
Even for the sweet spot
House to the bald-heads and the dread-locks
Lemme make it clear
No we won't flop
Got a plan, gotta make anyway
Can put it on the work, with my own two hands
Gotta check it, respect it
I'm a man, i'm a West-Indian

Repeat Chorus
