The shoe don't always fit on the other foot..

lyrics

Intro: (Dr. Sebi)-
My mother said, Look. When you were born into the world, you didn't born with a twin.
Okay..
So you remember this..
The love that is gonna secure you through life, is the love that you offer yourself..
The one thing you want to do is to love, and that love should begin with you..
Once you love you, you love the whole world..

[Verse:]-
(Yo) I didn't look hard enough to see your view/
I had to step inside ya shoes/
I aint even realize how much the pain changed you, you still stayed true/ I’ve been tryna find an escape route/
Tyna stay firm but without balance its hard to stand/
N when the lil' things dont go your way it’s hard to plan/
at times its hard to understand/
Much less keep faith/
But keep pace, consistency opens gates/
My heart is an open lake I been crying a river/
Cold nights make me shiver/
Mental fights make me quiver/
Peace 2 every black woman God the life givers/
I had to let go I was tryna reject growth/
I reached my threshold, I was trapped inna hole/ yo/
I was trapped inna hole..

[Chorus:]- The shoe that fits me won’t fit u/
The shoe don’t always fit on the other foot/
(Repeat 3x)
