Shoes
Bo Saris Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And my shirt's hang low
But my shoes all sexy
Yeah, my shoes all sexy
Times they beat me down
Such cutting words they say
But worse bounds of me everyday
They keep should enough
But they never penetrate
For so long I waited for this moment to shine
Trying take it from me, not gonna happen
And why won't you let me be myself
Don't trying change me, no no now
My jean's all baggy
And my shirt's hang low
But my shoes all sexy
Yeah, my shoes all sexy
You got no money,
When I stop with confidence
But my shoes are sexy
Yeah my shoes are sexy
People look at me
And they cross the street
I kind just did something wrong
I don't know what they see
I just being me
I walking with my headphones on, yeah
For so long I waited for this moment to shine
Trying take it from me, not gonna happen
And why won't you let me be myself
Don't trying change me, no no now
My jean's all baggy
And my shirt's hang low
But my shoes all sexy
Yeah, my shoes all sexy
I ain't got no money
When I stop with confidence
But my shoes are sexy
Yeah my shoes are sexy
Heaven come in a sustain
I put them on and people look at them
Take me anywhere, I'd like to go
With these shoes on, no no now
Oh my shoes are, sexy
Makes me feel so, sexy
Can't you see I'm.. o yeah
Oh my shoes are, sexy
Makes me feel so, sexy
Can't you see I'm.. o yeah
My jean's all baggy
And my shirt's hang low
But my shoes all sexy
Yeah, my shoes all sexy
You got no money,
When I stop with confidence
But my shoes are sexy
Yeah my shoes are sexy
My jean's all baggy
And my shirt's hang low
But my shoes all sexy
Yeah, my shoes all sexy
I ain't got no money,
When I stop with confidence
But my shoes are sexy
Yeah my shoes are sexy.
The song "Shoes" by Bo Saris is an anthem about self-confidence, individuality and staying true to oneself. The lyrics talk about how people judge you based on your appearance and material possessions, but that no matter what, as long as you have your shoes and self-belief, you will always be confident. The singer is proud of his individuality and is not afraid to show it despite being judged by others. He talks about how his jeans and shirt may not be perfect, but his shoes are always on point and make him feel sexy, confident and unstoppable.
The lyrics reflect the pressures that society puts on people regarding their appearances and how people are measured and judged by their looks, social status, and material possessions instead of their inner qualities. The message of the song is clear: don't let society define you or bring you down; be yourself, own your imperfections, and embrace your individuality because that's what defines you.
