Lyrical Analysis of...
Walk In My Shoes
- CHORUS
- Could you walk in my shoes and follow my path?
- Could you do the things I've done?
- Could you face what I've faced and come out on top?
- Could you go where I'm from?
- Feel what I feel?
- Do what I do?
- Could you?
- And at the end of the day still walk, still walk.
- Could you walk in my shoes?
- VERSE 1
- Could you walk in my shoes when I was feeling blue?
- My life was pretty screwed, I didn't know what to do.
- But now I'm sitting in my room and I'm talking to you.
- You think you know me? Well, I guess I've got something to prove.
- I've got no car, got no money and no job.
- I feel like I've lost my life and have turned into a slob.
- Dealing with anxiety that's always residing in me.
- And it's hiding beneath whenever I'm smiling thinly.
- The only time I feel fine is when I listen to music.
- And now you know that when I'm in my zone, don't ever mute it.
- Cause I'll just get abusive, these tunes are so therapeutic.
- I always fight to succeed but now I feel that I'm losing.
- When it attacks, it is hard to keep me from breaking down.
- Crying my eyes out but I realise there are friends around.
- Time to rise up, Stormzy will be giving me the crown.
- Could you walk in my shoes, even just into town?
- CHORUS
- Could you walk in my shoes and follow my path?
- Could you do the things I've done?
- Could you face what I've faced and come out on top?
- Could you go where I'm from?
- Feel what I feel?
- Do what I do?
- Could you?
- And at the end of the day still walk, still walk.
- Could you walk in my shoes?
- VERSE 2
- Could you walk in my shoes now that you've heard me speak?
- I don't think so because your feet would be feeling weak.
- Sometimes I think what I need is to just get up and leave.
- But then I'd realise that people behind would stop and grieve.
- And I don't want them feeling the same pain that I'm feeling today.
- It sucks feeling this way.
- Same shit, different day, this cycle won't go away.
- I'm peddling as fast as I can, tryna break the chain.
- If you ever walked a mile in my shoes, you'd see what I've gone through.
- It's hurting me now and it would hurt you.
- I'm staying up really late, like way past two.
- And when I'm sleeping, I feel like I'm losing time too.
- I've lost friends in the past because I've been an outcast.
- So I went at my enemies on the last track.
- Constantly got bad feelings, it's really got me trapped.
- If you walked in my shoes, you'd always have to act.
- CHORUS
- Could you walk in my shoes and follow my path?
- Could you do the things I've done?
- Could you face what I've faced and come out on top?
- Could you go where I'm from?
- Feel what I feel?
- Do what I do?
- Could you?
- And at the end of the day still walk, still walk.
- Could you walk in my shoes?
- VERSE 3
- You don't know what it feels like to walk in my shoes.
- Moving through life quickly, ain't got no time to cruise.
- This shit is painful like when I add another tattoo.
- So if you walk in my shoes, it'll be given to you.
- My memories are reminders of when I used to talk.
- To the adults but now you won't even hear me squawk.
- I was letting the shit sting like an electroshock.
- Thankfully, it didn't kill me and I can still walk.
- I thought that my medication would suffice me but I was wrong.
- It'll take more than popping a couple pills to keep me strong.
- I had to get on the path to my soul and follow it along.
- But I was stopped midway cause I couldn't pass obstacles that spawned.
- A ticking bomb exploded on the path that I was on.
- I fell into the abyss and then I was gone.
- With permanent mental health damage.
- It's hard to manage, don't need a bandage.
- Now I'mma hop off this track and make a sandwich.
- CHORUS
- Could you walk in my shoes and follow my path?
- Could you do the things I've done?
- Could you face what I've faced and come out on top?
- Could you go where I'm from?
- Feel what I feel?
- Do what I do?
- Could you?
- And at the end of the day still walk, still walk.
- Could you walk in my shoes?
