411 - What If It Was You ?

VERSE 1
See her on the street
Selling her body just to make ends meet
Every day's the same sad story
She prays but no one answers back
A soul who never had a chance
Don't you laugh at her misfortune
Everyone can take a fall
If you were walking in those footsteps
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 left to lose

What if it was you down on your luck

VERSE 2

Askin' hey mista' can you spare some change
Why don'tcha get a job is all they say

Anyone can take his place
If you were walking in those footsteps

CHORUS
What if it was you standing on the street

What if it was you with nothing left to lose
What if it was you standing in those shoes

Didn't have a voice didn't have a prayer
What if it was you down on your luck
What if it was you and no one gave a...

Everyone can take a fall
If you were walking in those footsteps
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 left 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 have a prayer
What if it was you down on your luck
What if it was you and no one gave a...
