Emily King - Walk In My Shoes Lyrics
I just wanna live my life cos I wanna, and I need to
So don't be tryna steal my light cos you don't know me, don't pretend to
Ive been busy on my grind, just like you, I've been trying
Ive even shed a tear or two, I swear to you, I ain't lying
Sometimes I feel the world is after me, tryna, get to me, tryna, stop what I do
Cos I'm the only one that looks out for me, can be me and walk in my shoes
Everyday theres something thats new to me, I just, gotta breathe, I don't, know about you
But I'm the only one that looks out for me, can be me, and... walk in my shoes.
It ain't easy being Emily
But I don't wanna change my name, cos I ain't got to, and I don't need to
So Ima do what I do, cos I ain't gotta live for you
But Ima keep up with mine, keep on striving and surviving no
[Chorus]
See everybody's got their own problems that their going through
I take it day by day, its only thing that I can do
So I live for me as you live for you
But you cant be me unless you walk in my shoes
[Chorus x2]
Walk walk, walk walk, walk walk - walk in my shoes [x2]
You gon do you, and Ima do me
[fade]

Emily King Walk In My Shoes Comments
Can you give me the lyrics for this song?
Vaguely remember the video, but I definitely remember not really listening to her too tough because she was clearly polished and set up, it didn’t read authentic. Her music now seems more genuine.
I still love this song ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’m a fan of the old and new music
Still Feels!
I’ve been an Emily fan for years and her style has changed so much! But it takes some serious talent to totally change your sound and aesthetic and manage to maintain yourself of “self” at the same time. Love her!
Chaka sent me here...
Walk in my shoes....yesss
Still sounds good in 2019
Chooooon! 👌🏿
Look how much your style has changed. So cool seeing your earlier stuff.
Why she's so underrated.. Such a sweet singer she was.
I just realized this song used to play on VH1 soul.... I listen to a lot of her latest music, but damn! This video just made me go back into my childhood... Love you Emily. PS, come back to Seattle
Still one of my favorite songs in 2018
I remember hearing this on the radio before i started my freshman year in college. That guitar line kind of reminds me of Use Me.
Kind of an awful video. Glad she got control of her art.
🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
Amazing ..Perfect! !!!!!!
I love my girl !! I love how she started off the song with the sweetest hangover by Diana Ross ! For you young cat's .. You ain't knowing !
Jemal Rankin “we be knowing” #over45yearsseasoned
This is still my shit. Great song. Where is she these days?
Check out her latest music of the past 5 years on YouTube. Radio and Distance are highly recommended.
I remember to listening her CD when I was 16. Got me through a tough time, especially this song. Love you Emily King.
This used to be my song soulful and honest I don't remember how I first got hooked but it's I love it
Whoa!! She looks so different! and good!!
My theme song
I never heard of Emily King until I heard a cover of her song, 'Distance' from her new album. Wow does she look and (kinda) sound different now (I like the change though).
Wow!!!! I remember when this album was released. That U and I joint was serious! I've loved watching her progression. She was beautiful then and she's beautiful now.
damn she changed up her look lol
This song helps me get threw a lot !!!!!! good words girl!!!!! <3
very soulful and Jazzy#DOPE
She's so different now, wow. Cool to see her progression. This sounds good, but I'm really digging her new music.
wow...her hair.. her style ..singing..just simply perfect!
I'm working backwards through her catalog and it's pretty obvious that this has Sony's A&R fingerprints all over it. Make no mistake, the track is a pretty slick Diana Ross homage, but compared to "Seven" and "The Switch" it's harder to hear and see this brilliant artist through all the gloss of Sony's production. It's not about the hair or the clothes, she's all about the soul and her voice is and should be the focus. Glad she's got her own label and wasn't lost forever among Sony's vast and still growing list of imprints.
Exactly! I'm basically doing the same thing-- and I remember this song now that I'm hearing it again. I liked it at the time, but compared to the stuff I've heard from her more recent efforts it's not the best use of her talent(s). I'm not saying there couldn't be a little more balance between the two 'styles', but I like the unadulterated raw version of her sound more than the modern/urban one. Either way, it's still good music regardless.
So true
Perhaps I'm judging unfairly but that beat seems so stuck on and forced. Underneath it, you can hear something much more like her current sound.
Curtis Woo 🙌🏾🙌🏽🙌🏿🙌🙌🏻🙌🏼
Doing the same. So proud of her!
This song will continue to speak to me
Hahaha wow. Just wow.
she has matured SO MUCH from this stage. Her new album is very much more true feeling than this. This feels like someone was advising her badly.
Love ya
Love this!❤️❤️❤️
Cute song nice sample of Diana Ross "Love Hangover" nice and smooth..
kprodigy11 Fuck ! Finally ! I went through all the comments and nobody gave a shout out for that ! Guess who did tho !? This guy !
Love this song but it sounds too much like Bill Withers "Use Me"
need to
So don't be trying to steal my light because you don't know me, don't pretend to
I've been busy on my grind, just like you, I've been trying
I've even shed a tear or two, I swear to you, I aint lying
[Chorus]
Sometimes I feel the world is after me, trying to get to me, trying to stop what I do
Because I'm the only one that looks out for me, can be me and walk in my shoes
Everday there's something that's new to me, I just, gotta breathe, I don't, know about you
But I'm the only one that looks out for me, can be me, and... walk in my shoes
It ain't easy being Emily
But I don't want to change my name, because I ain't got to, and I don't need to
So I'm a do what I do, because I ain't gotta live for you
But I'm a keep up with mine, keep on striving and surviving no
[Repeat Chorus]
See everybodys got their own problems that their going through
I take it day by day, it's only thing that I can do
So I live for me as you live for you
But you can't be me unless you walk in my shoes
[Chorus x2]
Walk walk, walk walk, walk walk - walk in my shoes [
Love her soooo much, but I can't lie, she looks so much prettier with longer hair..
Yeah, i just got to breath, i don't know about you?…..
You want to know about me?
anytime!!!
I used to be on this song hard!
"NEWBE" ALERT!!!!!!
Well worth a share.....google...
BREATHE by JASMINE LAMPORT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT LOOKS OUT FOR ME AND WALK IN MY SHOES....GO HEAD GIRL...PREACH
Love, love, love this song.
Magnifica....
They have been playing on "Heart & Soul", XM radio lately. This is a good record with a positive message.
JekaJane ! Lol
WOW !! you are true music artist
OUTSTANDING!
I heard this playing over the speakers in a store called Ross and had to look up and see who sings this cause I loved it. It was that good.
She's good!
My name is Emily King also.
HOT!!!
Funny story, I actually first heard this song in the radio in Marshall's! I didn't know who it was but loved the feel and the lyrics so I had to look them up on my phone and that's how I really got introduced to her music. I had heard of her but had not heard anything from her prior to last year.
bi-racial. She has a white parent and a black parent.
@Jazzmine - she -is- Black. google her parents.
she also has a song called "Refill", and "Damn Good Friends" is also good!
Diana*
This song automatically reminded me of Dianna Ross- Love Hangover. Does anyone else hear it? It's not completely the same but similar in the beginning notes and the groove of it. I like both very much.
I love her growth since this record.. Go Emily!
I heard this at work today for the first time and decided to youtube it... I expected to see a black woman! lol love her!!
search Emily King - Seven EP and thoroughly enjoy genuine music.
She's got a very soulful voice for being so young!
Amazing voice but the way she moves make it seem awkward and almost hard to watch at times, for me!
2 jazz musician parents, one White & one African-American
Great song and a great portrait of living life in a big hard city. Go emily king, I'm a fan;)
Also check out U and I, her voice is great in that one, too.
awesome song
Chick goes hard with this song...love her lyrics...can't help but think of Tupac's "If There's a Cure" because of the beat :)
anyone else think she is dead sexy?
I got her autograph on the Maroon 5 gig. Didn't know she was famous :)
Dang I'm slow...didn't know there was a video for this...LOVE THIS SONG!
Have you guys heard of this new singer named Elle Varner? Definitely need to check out her first single “Only Wanna Give It To You” featuring J. Cole! ht tp://bit . ly/rh3giP

DUUUUUUUUUUUUDDDE! =O...I ain't know EMILY KING wuz on youtube!!! =O...I coulda swore I looked B4 and couldn't find nuthin! =O woop! WOOP! ^.^ XD XD XD

@TrueBlood171 isnt it this?
This is the mother f------- shit.
Im trying to find that god damn song thats played on the hills, goes something like who are you and what do you do to make you think your above it but have you walked in my shoes .... I NEED HELP? LOL. anyone know who sings it or what its called, I've like looked on google, yahoo and youtube lmao!!
Yeah, it's a shame that she didn't get on, this song is so good!
this stuff is good....I really like it.
this song is the truth!
@Masmosaic1 I saw this video on VH1's SubSoul back in 2007, and at the time I thought she would give India.Arie some competition. With her brand of neo-soul, she would have been perfect as a feature artist on Teena's 'Congo Square' album, with Teena having done quite a bit of neo-soul from as far back as 1990. Damn, it hurts to think of the many opportunities that should have been.
guys this is my musics teacher daughter i swear to everything no lie
@geech
Dude, I liked Alicia Keys better when she called herself Angie Stone. ;) ;)
Also, don't be an idiot.
omg!! this is amazing!!! great neo-soul for the soul!!!
I liked her better when she called herself Alicia Keys. ;)
She in fact was nominated for a grammy couple years back. Nice album. Yes, I bought it.
love this song
Is this the new Teena Marie? If so, WELCOME!!!!!!
The fact that someone like Kesha can get radio play and sell over a million records, but Emily King cant even get her songs heard really shows how bad the state of music and our youth is.
P.S. I'm 18, but i know good music and i appreciate it.
