Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Take this good advice
If they 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
[Verse 2]
Gucci ass doubts, whole hood had 'em
Ice cream 'fore the hype beasts that's into fashion
Yeah, being for real
Yo, try being Pharell
When yo' 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
But the sneaker stores and laundromats
Get all the money
'Cause it ain't about what you're doing
But how you looking
When they love you for your status and your catalogue
And everybody got a jersey to play along
Back then, the hoes checking for your zapatos
So even dirty **** had the foams, you know?
[Verse 3]
Take this good advice
If they 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
[Verse 4]
I take 'em back, look
Okay, Viotech 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 the 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
Uh, 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 **** 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 2nd and 16th
Everyone would have everyone
And Reebok would carry pump
And that's not the scary part
These **** love white shoes so much
They'd be buried in 'em
[Verse 5]
You'll be alright
You'll be alright
You'll be alright
You'll be alright
[Verse 6]
Take this good advice
If they 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
[Verse 7]
No matter how good or lavish us **** got it
We just a bunch of ravenous addicts
Living for fancy haberdashery
Hold up!
Whole blood
