Boys and girls wanna hear a true story?
|
Saturday night I was at this real wild party,
|
They had the liquor overflowin' the cup,
|
About 5 or 6 strippers tryin' to work for a buck,
|
And I took one girl outside wit me,
|
Her name was Lonni, she went to Jr. High wit me,
|
I said, Why you up in there dancin' for cash?
|
I guess a whole a lots changed since I seen you last
|
She said,
|
|
[Chorus]
|
What would you do if your son was at home,
|
Cryin' all alone on the bedroom floor
|
Cause he's hungry, and the only way to feed him
|
Is to sleep with a man for a
|
Little bit of money and his daddy's gone,
|
Somewhere smokin' rock now,
|
In and out of lock down,
|
I ain't got a job now,
|
So for you this is just a good time but for me this is what
|
I call life, mm
|
|
Girl you ain't the only one wit a baby,
|
That's no excuse to be livin' all crazy,
|
Then she looked me right square in the eye,
|
And said every day I wake up hopin' to die,
|
She said-nigga I know about pain cause,
|
Me and my sister ran away so my daddy couldn't rape us,
|
Before I was a teenager I been through more shit,
|
That you can't even relate ta
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
What would you do?
|
Get up on my feet and let go of every excuse
|
What would you do?
|
Cause I wouldn't want my baby to go through what I went
|
Through
|
(come on)
|
What would you do?
|
Get up on my feet and stop makin' up tired excuses
|
What would you do?
|
Girl I know if my mother can do it, baby you can do it
|
|
[Chorus]
|
|
What would you do if your son was at home,
|
Cryin' all alone on the bedroom floor
|
Caues he's hungry, and the only way to feed him
|
Is to sleep with a man for a
|
Little bit of money and his daddy's gone,
|
Somewhere smokin' rock now,
|
In and out of lock down,
|
I ain't got a job now,
|
So for you this is just a good time but for me this is what
|
I call life, mm
