What Would You Do?

Boys and girls wanna hear a true story?

Saturday night was at this real wild party

There was liquor overflowin' the cup

About five or six strippers trying to work for a buck

So I took one girl outside with me

Her name was Londi, she went to junior high with me

I said "Why you up in there dancing for cash

I guess a whole lot's changed since I seen you last"

She said



ï¿½What would you do if your son was at home

Crying all alone on the bedroom floor

ï¿½Cus 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, in and out of lock down

I ain't got a job now, he's off smoking rock now

So for you this is just a good time but for me

This is what I call lifeï¿½



ï¿½Girl, you ain't the only one to have a baby

That's no excuse to be living all crazyï¿½

So she stared me right square in the eye and said

"Every day I wake up hoping to die"

She said "My god I know about pain cus

Me and my sister ran away so our daddy couldn't rape us

Before I was a teenager

I done anï¿½ been through than shit you can't even relate to"



ï¿½What would you do if your son was at home

Crying all alone on the bedroom floor

ï¿½Cus 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, in and out of lock down

I ain't got a job now, he's off smoking rock now

So for you this is just a good time but for me

This is what I call lifeï¿½



ï¿½What would you do?ï¿½

ï¿½Get up off my feet and stop making tired excusesï¿½
