WALE - The White Shoes lyrics

rate me

(Intro)

I had a lady once stop me on the street

I was wearing white shoes and she says

'I'm glad you're sticking wit the white shoes'

She says 'it makes me feel good'

(Hook)

Take this good advice

If they're gonna judge ya fo' 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

(Verse)

Gucci S. Dots, whole hood had 'em

Ice cream before the hypebeasts that's into fashion

Being for real, yo try bein' Pharrell

When yo black ass in a back class, the frontin' was real

No Lauren London, we was on a budget

Ya know, sharing Old Navy so the army could be fresh in public

Where the sneaker stores and laundromats get all the money

Cuz it ain't bout what you're doin', 'bout how you're looking

When they luv ya fo' yo status and yo catalog

And everybody got a jersey to play along

Back then the hoes checkin' fo' yo zapatos

So even dirty niggas had the foams

(Hook)

(Verse 2)

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 J's fo' the low, low, and I could get 'em early

But I'm not without a conscience, I see people out there hurting

Got 'em fo' 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

Cuz out come them niggas wit pistols, telling ya give 'em up

Now out come the moms wit tissues cuz ya ain't give a fuck

Free lunch fo' everyone, income was very uuh

On the second and 16th everyone would have every one

And Reebok would carry pump, and that's not the scary part

These niggas luv white shoes so much they'd be buried in them

(Interlude)

She says 'it makes me feel good'

(Bridge x4)

You'll be alright

(Hook)

(Outro)

No matter how good or lavish us niggas got it

We just a bunch of ravenous addicts livin' fo' fancy haberdashery
