Switch Kicks - Intellectual

[Intro]

I feel like the best way to show your respect for somebody

Is to look at things from their perspective

[Verse 1]

Get the kids ready, then I throw my heels on

Always rushing out the door, time to peel off

Drop 'em off to my mom, then I work a job

Then I pick 'em back up, while my man's gone

He said he got a show out in Rosedale

But all they paid was the flight and the hotel

I do support him and his dream

But if there's no means, then what does it all mean

Rain stew, utility bill through the roof

He bringing home no money, unlеss truth

I gotta be right to go through that phone

Lord knows what he's doing whеn he's not home

I could live without the stage and the bright lights

Maybe, I'm not the woman that his type likes

I sit down and I feel okay

I've been walking in these motherfucking heels all day

[Chorus]

So I switch kicks, switch kicks

Take a walk for a quick trip

Looking things from a different perspective

Got no choice, but to respect it

I switch kicks, switch kicks

Take a walk for a quick trip

Looking things from a different perspective

Got no choice, but to respect it

[Post-Chorus]

I switch kicks, switch kicks

[Verse 2]

Email came through as my flight landed

From an artist that I signed with a lot of talent

Said "What up, Pit?", this some new shit

With this song, there's a lot we could do with

You said he need a budget for the radio

And I'm thinking he still got a long way to go

I don't see a Little Jon co-signing you

I don't see a whole city that's behind you

Now of course, I didn't say that

'Cause, I remember the same grind from way back

I went from Uncle Luke up to TVT

So, the same thing I see in you, I see in me

I responded with tight work and keep grinding

It's about anything, It's about timing

If he really wants to win, then make a way

Time to zip my boots up, gotta hit the stage

[Chorus]

So I switch kicks, switch kicks

Take a walk for a quick trip

Looking things from a different perspective

Got no choice, but to respect it

I switch kicks, switch kicks

Take a walk for a quick trip

Looking things from a different perspective

Got no choice, but to respect it

[Post-Chorus]

I switch kicks, switch kicks

Lace 'em up, these are my kicks

[Verse 3]

From my chucks on hop on, and just ride

I feel the pedal on my soul and it's just right

Reflect back on the things that got me, where 'em at?

I give the game my heart or give me back a heart attack

But I grind hard, give it everything I got

Industry asking me for everything I'm not

I did the club songs, I did the dance songs

I got a little buzz that didn't last long

So, now I'm back doing me, and if it don't work

At least I did it being me, other way, didn't work

And I did it all for free, sacrifice my family and left 'em lonely

You understand the words that I say

That means no shows on my son's birthdays

And always being home for my anniversary

Time for me to show what it's really worth to me

[Chorus]

So I switch kicks, switch kicks

Take a walk for a quick trip

Looking things from a different perspective

Got no choice, but to respect it

I switch kicks, switch kicks

Take a walk for a quick trip

Looking things from a different perspective

Got no choice, but to respect it

[Post-Chorus]

I switch kicks, switch kicks
