Jeah, sometimes u gotta walk ah mile in ah mainz shoes before u know what time it is.
Hook1:
U don? walknMyShuz so don? judge me. (2x)
U don? walknMyShuz U can?t see me!
U don? know dem streetz! (2x)
V1:
When I was lil? G, way back when, didn?t have no shopz! Didn?t have no dough!
Didn?t have all dese Ma?z Jockin? 2 go!
I use 2 go by Leeky not On Ice E. Thank GOD we didn?t go hungry! We had chicken parts but da gank, dey was feet! Yeah, Mom?s could cook but that ain?t choice meat!
We use 2 live in da hood! Dundee St. (?next 2 Hitch Village!)
Das why can?t 4git, where I came. (4th ?3RD Street)
Now um Ghetto Super-Stizzle!!! Runnin? thangs! I can sit down to meals like Filet Mignon!
My check is long! My cash is flowin?! U look at me and say da nig%# got it goin on!
But where was U when I was stuck in da Hood? Where was U when we was choppin? wood?
(Runnin? from snakes ?n-sh%t!) Das why I say, U misunderstood!!!!
Hook 2:
U don? walknMyShuz so don? judge me. (2x)
U don? walknMyShuz U can?t feel me!
U don? know dem streetz! (2x) ( How u gon? feel dis? How u gon? judge dis?)
U don? walknMyShuz U can?t judge me! (2x)
U don? walknMyShuz U can?t hate me!
U don? know dem streetz! (2x)
Verse 2:
When I came up, times was hard. U know I have faith in GOD!
Now, dey takes prayer out of school. Not da way of da wise but da way of ah fool!!
But I still got my 40 acres and my mule! I kept my head! I kept my Black!! Suckaz like U, better git back! U Step in my face, U gittin? Jack!!!
Not wit? ah Pimp slap but with ah lawsuit! But if u try 2 play me U still git da BOOT!!!
Cause Um not da 1 ta go out like ah sucka! Like John Shaft, Um ah bad MuthaF#%#a!
U don? know what Um sayin?, ax Isaac Hayes!
I ain?t goin? back 2 no slavery days! No mo shacks! No out house sewers!
(?Freeways on my land? got paid.)
As ah matter ah fact, today we Entrepreneurs!!

Hk 3:
U don? walknMyShuz so don? judge me. (3x)
U don? know dem streetz! (2x)
(Repeat whole thang 1x) (Break 4 or 8 measures.)

U don? walknMyShuz U can?t judge me. (3x)
U don? know dem streetz! (2x)
(Adlib) U ain?t see N dis, U don? know dem streetz! U ain?t feelin? me! Don? try 2 hate me!
