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 dancin' 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 smokin' 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 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 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 smokin' 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 girl we hold up hold up hold up hold up
Stop the raky stop the raky
You should in way god we gonna now like this man
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 smokin' 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
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 smokin' 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
Come on
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 smokin' 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
