Walk in Your Shoes

Tryna be a man with some convictions
And put myself in your situation
I try to play your position.
If this was a game of soccer,
You'd be the under-siege goalkeeper.
Going through, wearing a catcher's mitt
On both hands is the utmost hazard.
Not if your defence can't hold water.
What I wouldn't give for backup
My life hangs on a negotiation;
You chop one bad arm,
We chop one good arm.
If you let go a terrorist
We'll set free one of your school kids.
How d'you survive soul corruption
When you're the bone of contention.
