Now to understand the struggle

To understand paying dues

And the pain of my people and your people all around the globe

You gotta feel me

Listen to the music--use it

What you know about juggling jobs and struggling hard and chasing dreams

What you know about having no car and rent being due and no bling bling

What you know about sacrificing all your wants for all your needs

What you know about loving your child just to find out it ain't your seed

Until you know my joy know my pain and know my struggles

Until you've walked these shoes paid my dues and felt my troubles

Until you've shared my tears known my fears in all my years

Only till then you only know what you think you know

What you know about hittin that block and dodging them cops to make ends meet

What you know about the lights being off the gas being off and no food to eat

What you know about Goodwill clothes while all your friends dressed fly in junior high

What you know about Grandma's words when she said One day boy you're gonna shine

Until you know my joy know my pain and know my struggles

Until you've walked these shoes paid my dues and felt my troubles

Until you've shared my tears known my fears in all my years

Only till then you only know what you think you know

Until you know my joy know my pain and know my struggles

Until you've walked these shoes paid my dues and felt my troubles

Until you've shared my tears known my fears in all my years

Only till then you only know what you think you know

What you know about writing late at night by candlelight till the shit is tight

What you know about late night prayers and late night tears hoping God (tell me what you know)

What you know about earning your keep because you don't bend break or ask

Don't you know the last'll be first (Hey) and the first will be last

Until you know my joy know my pain and know my struggles

Until you've walked these shoes paid my dues and felt my troubles

Until you've shared my tears known my fears in all my years

Only till then you only know what you think you know

Until you know my joy know my pain and know my struggles

Until you've walked these shoes paid my dues and felt my troubles

Until you've shared my tears known my fears in all my years

Only till then you only know what you think you know

Until you know my joy know my pain and know my struggles

Until you've walked these shoes paid my dues and felt my troubles

Until you've shared my tears known my fears in all my years

Only till then you only know what you think you know
