My shoes

My shoes are fitted just for my feet
why try to wear them  
when they were made just for me?
 
The soles are rugged
but help put a spring in my strut  
You know that swag, that sway, that stride
you admire so much!
 
You laugh behind my back  
Sometimes in my face
But you wonder about these shoes
that got me to this place
 
My shoes are fitted just for my feet
why try to wear them
when they were made just for me?
 
I invested in a pair
that would go the distance
I paid for practicality, style,
endurance, and they're hater resistant
 
These shoes we're made for walkin'
across town, the room, away, and even on the moon
These shoes can run, skip, hop,
hike, and dance to any tune
 
They're my quick steppas'
my fancy foot workers,
my butt kickas', my show stoppers,
my money makers and my high-toppers
 
Do you care for my "Airs"
my many different pairs?  
Sometimey as they are
not labeled by basketball stars
 
Not made in Japan,
Taiwan, China, or Rome
They were made in experience
in a town called Home
 
My shoes are fitted just for my feet
why try to wear them
when they were made just for me?
