The White Shoes

(album: The Album About Nothing - 2015)

[Skit:]
I had a lady once stop me on the street.
I was wearing white shoes.
And she says, "I'm glad you're sticking with the white shoes."
She says, "It makes me feel good."

[Hook:]
Take this good advice
If they're gonna judge you for life
Say we can't always be fly
We gon' be good long as them sneakers white
You'll be alright
Said you'll be alright
Said you'll be alright
Said you'll be alright

Gucci iced out, whole hood had 'em
Ice cream 'fore the hypebeasts that's into fashion
Being forreal, yo try being Pharrell
When your black ass in a back class, the fronting was real
No Lauren London, we was on a budget
You know, sharing Old Navy so the army could be fresh in public
Where the sneaker stores and laundromats get all the money
Cause it ain't 'bout what you're doing, 'bout how you're looking
When they love you for your status and your catalog
And everybody got a jersey to play along
Back then the hoes checking for your zapatos
So even dirty niggas had the foams

[Hook]

Biotech trainers on the way to work
And we would quietly complain while Eric would lurk
That was the PG Plaza manager, managing us
Yeah I'm standing in Lucky 7s but slinging them Lugz
Still have them Js for the low, low, and I could get 'em early
But I'm not without a conscience, I see people out there hurting
Got 'em for Penny Foams that was bought at this very store
And I think that was my shift, then again I'm not very sure
And that's a lot that can get to ya
When you're not selling drugs but the outcome is similar
Cause out come them niggas with pistols, telling you give 'em up
Now out come the moms with tissues cause you ain't give a fuck
Free lunch for everyone, income was very uh
On the second and 16th everyone would have every 1
And Reebok would carry pump, and that's not the scary part
These niggas love white shoes so much they'd be buried in them

[Skit]

You'll be alright
You'll be alright
You'll be alright
You'll be alright

[Hook]

No matter how good or lavish us niggas got it
We just a bunch of ravenous addicts living for fancy haberdashery
