[Verse 1: Kerser + Fortay]
This is for the kid, lost with nowhere to go/
The kid that knows that there’s hope when his parents don’t/
Understand, staring at the smoke, dreaming big/
Or the kid trying to make it out from where he lives/
The kid that hits the books and studies for his A+/
The kid living like a crook that only takes drugs (to escape)/
Cause he’s lost, and never found trust, all he cared/
Working hard, from the ground up/
Or the girl waking up to face the world alone/
For the single mom trying to build a happy home/
With no man trying to feed the kids on the dole/
Or the girl that needs a hit, dancing on the pole/
Or the man, who breaks a sweat, but he stays in debt/
The alcoholic, at the pub always placing bets/
The man facing stress, going through a breakup/
Wants to give up, but he can’t, gotta make bucks/
Chorus:
Different shoes but we headed to the same place/
This life we in, contradicting to the human race/
Different places, different faces, but the same themes/
The highs and lows, gonna face the things what will they be/
Different people, different faces all across the globe/
It ain't all about the dough, it’s bout what you know/
Different shoes but we headed to the same place/
This life we in, contradicting to the human race/
[Verse 2: Kerser + Fortay]
The lost soul, out of clutch in the mental home/
The inmate who doesn’t know when he’s comin’ home/
The kid punching cones, thinking that the shit is cool/
And not knowing what he’s missing when he’s skipping school/
Or the kid just spawned knowing what’s ahead/
In this life while another person faces death/
For one it’s both, for the other, it’s his worst day/
Or the gut working nine to five to earn pay/
This is life same day different timeframe/
Play it right win or lose this is life’s game/
Just the way it is, you must adapt to the stress and strain/
Never give in to it all when it tests your brain/
We all the same different shoes on the same track/
The path of life we walking on, we can’t change that/
Make the most of what you got, see you can hit the heights/
Or you can hit the lows, it’s up to you on how you live your life/
Chorus:
Different shoes but we headed to the same place/
This life we in, contradicting to the human race/
Different places, different faces, but the same themes/
The highs and lows, gonna face the things what will they be/
Different people, different faces all across the globe/
It ain't all about the dough, it’s bout what you know/
Different shoes but we headed to the same place/
This life we in, contradicting to the human race/
[Verse 3: Kerser + Fortay]
Never knew I’d give advice at times I needed it/
Why’d I start another habit when I need to quit/
Seen some lows seen some highs, what be comin’ next?/
Ain't I livin’ in the past the more I think ahead?/
Wide awake, still got a dream been through nightmares/
And you will fall if you think that life fair/
Back in the day, scrapin’ for a stick to get a hit/
Now we makin’ hits for the kids scraping for a stick/
Now we on the stage doing music/
That we make for you, I seeing all the stages/
In our life that we made It through/
Never give up no matter how hard the circumstance/
First you must believe, find a dream, then you work your plan/
No matter if the odds against, with common sense, look at me/
Started as some kids from public housing, broke and hooked with weed/
Made the most of what we got, you gotta do the same too/
Stay true, and even though we ain't always in the same shoes/
Chorus:
Different shoes but we headed to the same place/
This life we in, contradicting to the human race/
Different places, different faces, but the same themes/
The highs and lows, gonna face the things what will they be/
Different people, different faces all across the globe/
It ain't all about the dough, it’s bout what you know/
Different shoes but we headed to the same place/
This life we in, contradicting to the human race/
