What Would You Do?

Lyrics

Boys and girls wanna hear a true story?
 Saturday night I was at this real wild party
 They had the liquor overflowing the cup
 About 5 or 6 strippers trying to work for a buck
 And I took one girl outside with me
 Her name was Lonni, she went to junior high with me
 I said, "Why you up in there dancing for cash?
 I guess a whole a lot's changed since I seen you last."
 She said
 What would you do if your son was at home
 Crying 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 smoking rock now, in and out of lockdown
 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
 Girl you ain't the only one with a baby
 That's no excuse to be living all crazy
 Then she looked me right square in the eye
 And said every day I wake up hoping 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 to
 What would you do if your son was at home
 Crying 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 smoking rock now, in and out of lockdown
 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
 Hold up!
 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 making tired excuses
 What would you do?
 Girl, I know if my mother can do it, baby you can do it
 What would you do if your son was at home
 Crying 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 smoking rock now, in and out of lockdown
 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
