Now to understand the struggle
To understand paying dues
And the pain of my people and your people, all around the
globe
You gotta feel me
Listen to the music use it
What you know about juggling jobs and struggling
hard and chasing dreams
What you know about having no car and rent being due and no
bling bling
What you know about sacrificing all your wants for all your
needs
What you know about loving your child, just to find out it
ain't your seed
Until you know my joy, know my pain, and know
my struggles
Until you've walked these shoes, paid my dues, and felt my
troubles
Until you've shared my tears, known my fears, in all my years
Only til then, you only know what you think you know
What you know about hitting that block and
dodging them cops to make ends meet
What you know about the lights being off, the gas being off
and no food to eat
What you know about Goodwill clothes, while all your friends
dressed fly in junior high
What you know about Grandma's words when she said One day,
boy, you gon shine
Until you know my joy, know my pain, and know
my struggles
Until you've walked these shoes, paid my dues, and felt my
troubles
Until you've shared my tears, known my fears, in all my years
Only til then, you only know what you think you know
What you know about writing late at night,
by candlelight til the shit is tight
What you know about late night prayers, and late night tears,
hoping God
(tell me what you know)
What you know about earning your keep, because you're dope
and?
Don't you know the last'll be first (Hey) and the first will
be last
Until you know my joy, know my pain, and know
my struggles
Until you've walked these shoes, paid my dues, and felt my
troubles
Until you've shared my tears, known my fears, in all my years
Only til then, you only know what you think you know
