0:01I had a lady once stop me on the street
0:05I was wearing white shoes And she says
0:07"I'm glad you're sticking with the white shoes"
0:09She says "It makes me feel good"
0:10Take this good advice
0:15If they're gonna judge you for life
0:20Say we can't always be fly
0:26We gon' be good long as them sneakers white
0:31You'll be alright
0:36Said you'll be alright
0:41Said you'll be alright
0:46Said you'll be alright
0:52Gucci S Dots whole hood had 'em
0:54Ice cream 'fore the hypebeasts that's into fashion
0:57Being forreal yo try being Pharrell
0:59When your black a** in a back class the fronting was real
1:02No Lauren London we was on a budget
1:04You know sharin' Old Navy so the army could be fresh in public
1:07Where the sneaker stores and laundromats get all the money
1:10Cause it ain't 'bout what you're doin' 'bout how you're lookin'
1:13When they love you for your status and your catalog
1:15And everybody got a jersey to play along
1:18Back then the hoes checkin' for your zapatos
1:20So even dirty niggas had the foams
1:22Take this good advice
1:28If they're gonna judge you for life
1:33Say we can't always be fly
1:38We gon' be good long as them sneakers white
1:43You'll be alright
1:48Said you'll be alright
1:53Said you'll be alright
1:58Said you'll be alright
2:04Biotech trainers on the way to work
2:06And we would quietly complain while Eric would lurk
2:09That was the PG Plaza manager managin' us
2:11Yeah I'm standin' in Lucky 7s but slingin' them Lugz
2:14Still have them Js for the low low and I could get 'em early
2:17But I'm not without a conscience I see people out there hurtin'
2:19Got 'em for Penny Foams that was bought at this very store
2:22And I think that was my shift then again I'm not very sure
2:25And that's a lot that can get to ya
2:27When you're not sellin' drugs but the outcome is similar
2:29Cause out come them niggas with pistols tellin' you give 'em up
2:32Now out come the moms with tissues cause you ain't give a f**k
2:35Free lunch for everyone income was very uh
2:37On the second and 16th everyone would have every 1
2:40And Reebok would carry pump and that's not the scary part
2:42These niggas love white shoes so much they'd be buried in them
2:49I was wearing white shoes And she says
2:54"I'm glad you're sticking with the white shoes"
2:59She says "It makes me feel good"
3:06You'll be alright
3:11You'll be alright
3:16You'll be alright
3:21You'll be alright
3:26Take this good advice
3:31If they're gonna judge you for life
3:37Say we can't always be fly
3:42We gon' be good long as them sneakers white
3:47You'll be alright
3:52Said you'll be alright
3:57Said you'll be alright
4:02Said you'll be alright
4:09No matter how good or lavish us niggas got it
4:12We just a bunch of ravenous addicts living for fancy haberdashery
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" 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 S Dots whole hood had 'em Ice cream 'fore the hypebeasts that's into fashion Being forreal yo try being Pharrell When your black a** in a back class the fronting was real No Lauren London we was on a budget You know sharin' 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 doin' 'bout how you're lookin' When they love you for your status and your catalog And everybody got a jersey to play along Back then the hoes checkin' for your zapatos So even dirty niggas had the foams 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 Biotech trainers on the way to work And we would quietly complain while Eric would lurk That was the PG Plaza manager managin' us Yeah I'm standin' in Lucky 7s but slingin' 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 hurtin' 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 sellin' drugs but the outcome is similar Cause out come them niggas with pistols tellin' you give 'em up Now out come the moms with tissues cause you ain't give a f**k 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 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" You'll be alright You'll be alright You'll be alright You'll be alright 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 No matter how good or lavish us niggas got it We just a bunch of ravenous addicts living for fancy haberdashery
