The White Shoes Lyrics

I had a lady once, stopped 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
′Cause 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

Gucci esque style, so who had 'em?
Ice cream for the hypebeasts that′s into fashion
Yeah, being for real, try being for real
When your black ass in the back class, the fronting was real
In lower London, we was on a budget, you know
Sharing 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 doing but how you′re looking
Where 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, you know?

Take this good advice
'Cause 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

Now take 'em back, look, okay
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 Sevens, but slanging them Loub′s
Still had the J's for the low-low, and I can 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
Uh, and that's a lot that can giddy up
When you not selling drugs, but the outcome is similar
'Cause out come the outcast with pistols telling you give ′em up
Now out comes 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
A Reebok would carry pump and that′s not the scary part
These niggas love white shoes so much, they be buried in 'em
Uh

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
Said you'll be alright
Said you'll be alright
Said you′ll be alright

Take this good advice
′Cause 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

No matter how good or lavish us niggas got it
We just a bunch of ravenous addicts
Living for fancy haberdashery
Hold up
Hold up
