1st verse:
|
|
Boys and girls wanna hear a true story?
|
Saturday night 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 Loni, she went to Junior High wit me,
|
I said, Why you up in there dancin for cash?,
|
I guess a whole lots changed since I seen you last
|
She said..
|
|
Chorus:
|
|
What would you do?, if your son was at home
|
crying all alone on the bedroom floor, cuz he's hungry
|
and thee only way to feed him is ta sleep wit a man
|
for a little bit of money, and his daddy's gone
|
so we're smokin' rock now, in and out of lock down,
|
I aint gotta job now, so for you this is just a good time
|
but for me this is what I call life
|
|
2nd verse:
|
|
Girl you aint thee 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 everyday I wake up hopin' to die,
|
she said- nigga I know about pain cuz,
|
me and my sista ran away, so my daddy
|
couldn't rape us, before I was a teenager
|
I done been through more ****, you can't even
|
relate ta!
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
Ooooo
|
Then she said, What would you do? if....
|
Get up on my feet and let go of every excuse
|
What would you do? if....
|
Cuz I wouldn't want my baby, to go through what
|
I went through
|
What would you do? if....
|
Get up on my feet, stop makin tired excuses
|
What would you do? if...
|
Girl I know if my mother can do it, baby you can do it
|
|
Oooo, oooo, oooo-(yea, yea, yea, yea)
|
|
(Chorus)
|
|
What would you do? if yo son was at home,
|
crying all alone on the bedroom floor, cuz he's hungry
|
and the only way to feed him is to sleep wit a man
|
for a little bit of money, and his daddy's gone
|
so we're smokin rock now, in and out of lock down,
|
I aint gotta job now, so for you this is just a good time
|
but for me this is what I call life (Come on)
|
|
(Chorus)
