*Verse 1: Ghetts

This girl here got a sponsor

60 year old monster

She don't care 'bout no age though

Just whose money's longer

We both went John Loughborough

I got kicked out for conduct

Jail by 15

Who'd you think writ me?

First letter from Mum, second from Sonya

"Dear Justin, I ain't gonna judge you, you already been sentenced

Send me a VO, I'll come through, I got plenty of questions"

I wrote back immediately

Wished her good luck with her GCSEs

She looked up to me previously, I knows I'm good company, seriously

Years go by, contact's lost

You don't know what that was

I know ballers who could've been ballers

Who got caught up and the contracts off

I know Sonya could've been a model

Word on the road is Sonya's washed

But that's my girl, my friend, my bredrin

She showed me what a real friend is

*Chorus: Emeli Sandé

Before you judge me

Try and walk a day in my shoes

See what you don't see

Is all the shit I been going through

It's been a long, long day

Of battling these blues

So before you judge me

Try and walk a day

Try and walk a day in my shoes

Try and walk a day

Try and walk a day in my blues

*Verse 2: Ghetts

All these years, no sight of her

I even been to the last address

When i was locked up 16, writing her

Knock, knock who's home?

Must be the wrong door

Nobody I know

Akward moment

I've lost all composure

Why didn't you tell me you left?

Why didn't you say where you went?

Last I heard you was overqualified but can't find work

Had a friend in Dubai who invited you over

And now you're like her

Last I heard

You don't even check for your parents

You just wake and check your appearance

I don't know if me checking for you is checking to you

Or just interference, but dear Sonya, I ain't gonna judge you

Won't see me in no jury, so any verdict I come to

Still gunna end with yours truly

I just wish the world didn't corrupt you

It's been so long i don't know if you know me or knew me

*Chorus: Emeli Sandé

Before you judge me

Try and walk a day in my shoes

See what you don't see

Is all the shit I been going through

It's been a long, long day

Of battling these blues

So before you judge me

Try and walk a day

Try and walk a day in my shoes

*Post-Chorus: Ghetts

(This is where you just wanna disappear

Never told your nigga where

Now I think you didn't care

This is where you just wanna disappear

Never told your nigga where

Now I think you didn't care)

*Verse 3: Emeli Sandé

So great to hear from you

I see you've been doing good

Always knew way back from school

You were destined for greatness

I held a flame for you

Now you're setting fire to booths

Swear I've watched them all a hundred times

That shit was amazing

Tell me how kiss and chase

And show and tell

Turns into me addressing your letters to a prison cell?

Life has its hazards

Way more snakes than ladders

I miss our innocence

I miss when life made way more sense

I'm sure you've heard some things

(I'm sure you've heard some things)

*Chorus: Emeli Sandé

Before you judge me

Try and walk a day in my shoes

See what you don't see

Is all the shit I been going through

It's been a long, long day

Of battling these blues

So before you judge me

Try and walk a day

Try and walk a day in my shoes
