[Hook:] No matter what you do, you could never be me, I could never be you, even if we trade shoes. We could switch kicks but you still wouldn't get my vision, You still wouldn't know how I'm living So before you judge me, just think about it like this; What if we could trade places? now put yourself in my place kid [Verse 1:] You don't know me, and I don't know you All you know are the things people told you What they heard about from word of mouth And now I feel like I'm never getting heard out Feeling like I gotta stand up Someone looking at me, feeling like I gotta man up Yeah, cause I don't care of his size These are my insecurities, give them a try You wanna know about me now don't ya?

Why's that? I'll never understand I guess some things in life I'll just never comprehend. [Hook:] No matter what you do, you could never be me, I could never be you, even if we trade shoes.
