What If It Was You? Lyrics

Seen her on the streets

Selling her body just to make ends meet

Everyday is the same sad story

She prays but no one answers back

Her soul never had a chance

Don't you laugh at her misfortune

Anyone can take a fall

If you were walking in those footsteps

You wouldn't laugh at all

[Chorus]

What if it was you standing on the street

What if it was you without enough to eat

What if it was you with nothing else to lose

What if it was you standing in those shoes

What if it was you all alone out there

Didn't have a choice, didn't a prayer

What if it was you down on your luck

What if it was you and no one gave a fuck

He's there everyday

Asking hey Mister can you spare some change

Why don't you get a jobThe 411 - What If It Was You? - http://motolyrics.com/the-411/what-if-it-was-you-lyrics.html

Is all they say

You live with no such thing as pride

You're fighting just to stay alive

Don't you laugh as his misfortune

Anyone could take his place

If you were walking in those footsteps

Would you feel the same

[Repeat Chorus]

What if everyday you woke up without knowin' how you gon' eat

Where you gon' sleep

What if hard times hit you

Woudl you be so quick to judge another

Judge your brother

Or would you feel how it would be in their shoes

Don't you laugh at her misfortune

Anyone can take a fall

If you were walking in those footsteps

You wouldn't laugh at all

[Repeat Chorus]
