What It's Like

[The Hammer]

Everlast - What it's like


" I've seen a rich man beg I've seen a good man sin
I've seen a tough man cry
I've seen a loser win and a sad man grin
I heard an honest man lie
I've seen the good side of bad and the downside of up
And everything between
I licked the silver spoon drank from the golden cup
And smoked the finest green
I stroked the fattest dimes at least a couple of times
Before I broke their heart
You know where it ends, yo, it usually depends on where you start "

I like the family at the end.

...I can't think of any reason to put myself in the shoes of the less fortunate. Of course, I'm someone who has at various times experienced the high end and low end of life.

What gets me, is the people who have lost staring at the family in the end. That part is conflicting to me... I don't understand.

Extrapolate.

When I worked in the city I met and saw a lot of people--homeless, angry, sad and lost. There is a song there.

Extrapolate.

I think see what you mean... They're seeing innocent children, like they once were, who might end up facing hardship later in life.
