Songtexte Sore Loser - J.SHEP

Put yourself in my shoes
Would you be happy to lose
Put yourself in my shoes
Would you be happy to lose
Put yourself in my shoes
Would you be happy to lose
Would you be happy to lose
Would you be happy to lose, honestly

Huh, I'm a sore loser
My main abuser is pride
Taught to me by my father
I love him to death but it bothers, me
I ask him why when we hoop he critiquing, me
Telling me to stop smiling, and get back on defense Jacquise

I wouldn't understand it till highschool
When my hoop dream was stripped from me quickly
But the politics with rich white kids and me being short
Already gave me a slim chance, that's why I gave up on sports
No point in playing football and tryna live my father's dream
Cause he had a shot, but he went to college and he fumbled it, it seems
All my friends on the team, but only to get some pussy
They wasn't for real gon make it to the league

I say this to let you know that it all resides in me
That's why when I take things seriously
I really do mean to put my all in to win
And if I don't, a loss is not what I take gracefully
I'd play the video game with my siblings
I'd lose, but at night, I'd be up practicing

Cause they'd rub it in my face, just like my father did to me
Just like my mother did to me, if I came home with a C
5 kids, I'm the middle child, the black sheep
She one of the main reasons to why my mental like this

I can't stand not to have things go my way
I learned to suppress it but God forsake
That I let this deadly sin of Pride drown me in lake
So sometimes it's not bad to grab me a rake, and shovel leaves
I watched my father leave, while my sister elbow bleed
Cause my mama smacked her with the dustpan
I wish I really could just sweep, the memories
Of us not being a perfect family, but it's okay
I'm perfectly fine with who I am
Working on my problems, it's my human right cause I can
One day I'm a have me a fam, and I pray that I am
The man I need to be, to teach my kids my history
Cause I learned these lessons for them
The key to killing your pride, is to do it for them
That's what my father taught me once he finally dropped the lies
So forever I'm a sore loser till my kids alive
Yeah, till my kids alive

Put yourself in my shoes
Would you be happy to lose
Put yourself in my shoes
Would you be happy to lose
Put yourself in my shoes
Would you be happy to lose
Put yourself in my shoes
Would you be happy to lose
Put yourself in my shoes
Would you be happy to lose
Would you be happy to lose
Would you be happy to lose, honestly
