boys and girls wanna hear a true story
saturday nite 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 lonny she went to junior high wit me
i said why u up in there dancin for cash
i bet a whole lots changed since i seen u last she said
CHORUS
what would u do if ur son is was at home
cryin all alone on the bedroom floor cuz hes hungry
and the only way to feed him
is to sleep wit a man for alittle bit a money
and his daddys gone
so we're smoking rock now
in and outta lock-down
i aint gotta job now
so for u this is just a good time
but for me this is what i call life mmmm
girl u aint the only one wit a baby
that aint no excuse to b living all crazy
then she looked me right square in da eye
and said every day i wake up hoping to die
n** I know about pay cuts
me and my sister ran away so my daddy couldn't rape us
before i was a teenager
i done been through more shit than u can relate to
CHORUS
(RECORD SCRATCHING)
HOLD UP
what would u do
get up on my feet and let go of every excuse
what would u do
cause i wouldnt want my baby to go through what i went through
come on what would u do
get up on my feet and stop makin tired excuses
what would u do
girl i know if my mother can do it baby u can do it
CHORUS x3
