Couldn't Walk a Mile

David Dallas

Lyrics
Ten squad
Another fire, nice hit, dog
Outlier, bout to lift off

Sitting up in Harlem, eye of the hurricane
I hit back in NZ, they calling me the fucking man
First one out my country doing it in this, man
I make a lot of dudes green and mad
Call them Bruce Banner, couple screws loose
I could probably use two spanners
Girls come to me in stereo from the left and right

Two channels, you think you could live this life
But really could you handle leaving everything you know behind
If you knew that you might not make it over there
Might get ridiculed, might struggle to make the ends meet
To get a little food, might have to go home
With your tail between your legs and hear that you were dreaming
Thinking you could make it over there, yeah
If you're with that, then we're cut from the same cloth

Against all odds, I gamble 'til it pays off

A lot of dudes will say they would but they're straight soft
Call me Phil, I be pulling cards if we face off
I'm about to take off and so is this girl here

I'm talking my career, she's talking her brassiere
Guess that deserves a beer, tell her to sip it, baby
Don't really have time to kick it lately, I'm gone

I'm never going back, caution's in the wind
Give a fuck about the odds, bro, I play to win, yeah
But these people got no idea what I do
That's why they couldn't walk a mile wearing my shoes
Couldn't lace 'em up, couldn't make 'em look good
Don't nobody want a bad movie when the book's good
But these people got no idea what I do
That's why they couldn't walk a mile wearing my shoes

A little bit of knowledge is a bad thing
Best to know the girl if you're gonna buy the damn ring
This the type of life that have you flipping like a handspring
And stretch your patience like a motherfucking hamstring
I just do the damn thing, I don't really talk about it
Plowing through the obstacles these other people walk around
And they aren't really pointing out that shit
You thinking an opportunity falls out the sky and you catch it
You're dead wrong, gotta be headstrong
Questions I get asked now are way too important for me to get wrong

I got my future at stake, a future estate
It's all about timing in this biz, can't be two minutes late
Living out a suitcase for too many days
And miss the comforts of home in too many ways
But I make my own luck 'cause I seen too many break

And when it comes time for the bills, I'm too many paid
Still just a simple man, bars like a histogram
Handsome motherfucker, take a picture, Instagram
Habitual line stepper, push it to the limit, man
Dan Carter lining up to kick again, it's over

I'm never going back, caution's in the wind
Give a fuck about the odds, bro, I play to win, yeah
But these people got no idea what I do
That's why they couldn't walk a mile wearing my shoes
Couldn't lace 'em up, couldn't make 'em look good
Don't nobody want a bad movie when the book's good
But these people got no idea what I do
That's why they couldn't walk a mile wearing my shoes

Couldn't walk a mile, couldn't walk a mile in these
Couldn't walk a mile, couldn't walk a mile in these
Couldn't walk a mile, couldn't walk a mile in these
It's a clean breeze
Better watch what you say to me
