Wale ☆ The White Shoes

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 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
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
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
