This girl here got a sponsor
60 year old monster
She don't care 'bout no age though
Just whose money's longer
We both went John Loughborough
I got kicked out for conduct
Jail by 15
Who'd you think writ me
First letter from Mum
Second from Sonya
Dear Justin
I ain't gonna judge you
You already been sentenced
Send me a vo, I'll come through
I got plenty of questions
I wrote back immediately
Wished her good luck with her GCSEs
She looked up to me previously
I knows I'm good company seriously
Years go by, contact's lost
You don't know what that was
I know ballers who could've been ballers
Who got caught up and the contracts off
I know Sonya could've been a model
Word on the road is Sonya's washed
But that's my girl, my friend my bredrin
She showed me what a real friend is
Before you judge me
Try and walk a day in my shoes
See what you don't see
Is all the ** I been going through
It's been a long, long day
Of battling these blues
So before you judge me
Try and walk a day
Try and walk a day in my shoes
Try and walk a day
Try and walk a day in my blues
All these years, no sight of her
I even been to the last address
When I was locked up 16 writing her
Knock, knock who's home
Must be the wrong door
Nobody I know
Awkward moment
I've lost all composure
Why didn't you tell me you left
Why didn't you say where you went
Last I heard you was overqualified but can't find work
Had a friend in DubaI who invited you over
And now you're like her
Last I heard
You don't even check for your parents
You just wake and check your appearance
I don't know if me checking for you is checking to you
Or just interference but dear Sonya
I ain't gonna judge you
Won't see me in no jury
So any verdict I come to
Still gunna end with yours truly
I just wish the world didn't corrupt you
It's been so long I don't know if you know me or knew me
Before you judge me
Try and walk a day in my shoes
See what you don't see
Is all the ** I been going through
It's been a long, long day
Of battling these blues
So before you judge me
Try and walk a day
Try and walk a day in my shoes
(This is where you just wanna disappear
Never told your ** where
Now I think you didn't care
This is where you just wanna disappear
Never told your ** where
Now I think you didn't care)
So great to hear from you
I see you've been doing good
Always knew way back from school
You were destined for greatness
I held a flame for you
Now you're setting fire to booths
Swear I've watched them all 100 times
That ** was amazing
Tell me how kiss and chase
And show and tell
Turns into me addressing your letters to a prison cell
Life has its hazards
Way more snakes than ladders
I miss our innocence
I miss when life made way more sense
I'm sure you've heard some things
I'm sure you've heard some things
Before you judge me
Try and walk a day in my shoes
See what you don't see
Is all the ** I been going through
It's been a long, long day
Of battling these blues
So before you judge me
Try and walk a day
Try and walk a day in my shoes
