作曲：Adele Emeli Sandé,Justin Clarke Samuel,Kadeem Clarke Samuel,Reiss Nicholas,Tj Amadi

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
