In My Shoes
M.O.R.T. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Quata calls, aren't civil rights
Split the vote, split the state
Split the house, income rape
Doors are shut, need not apply
There's no one here to fight for my rights
Walk the straight line
I live the injusted
Of liberal insight
Motor vote, I say motorhead
I work a job, I don't lay in bed
Payed my dues, pay my way
I earned the right too have my say
I'm sick to death, of liberal views
The liberal fools are fucking you to
You'll know what I'm saying
When you walk in my shoes
The song "In My Shoes" by M.O.R.T. is a commentary on the state of modern society and how people from different socioeconomic backgrounds are treated differently. The first verse discusses how certain groups of people are not granted the same rights as others, as well as how political actions, such as splitting the vote, can lead to further inequality. The lyrics also touch on the issue of income inequality, with the line "Split the house, income rape," painting a picture of those at the top taking advantage of those at the bottom.
The second verse is more personal, with the singer discussing their own experiences and frustrations with the system. They mention working hard and paying their dues, yet feeling as though they are still being let down by liberal ideals. The final line, "You'll know what I'm saying when you walk in my shoes," is perhaps the most powerful of the song. It calls on listeners to empathize with those who may not have the same privileges as them and to understand that their experiences shape their views.
