| 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, 6 strippers tryin' to work for a buck | |
| And I took one girl outside wit me | |
| Her name was Lonni, she went to Jr. High wit me | |
| I said, "Why you up in there dancin' for cash? | |
| I guess a whole lot's changed since I seen you last" | |
| She said, "What would you do if your son was at home | |
| Cryin' all alone on the bedroom floor? | |
| Cuz 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 wit a baby | |
| That's no excuse to be livin' 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 'cuz | |
| Me and my sister ran away so my daddy couldn't rape us | |
| Before I was a teenager, I done been through more shit | |
| You can't even relate to" | |
| What would you do if your son was at home | |
| Cryin' all alone on the bedroom floor? | |
| 'Cuz 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 | |
| {No, wait, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on | |
| Stop the record, yo, stop the record! | |
| Yo, Shorty, you ain't gotta be goin' out like this, man! | |
| Holdup!} | |
| What would you do? | |
| Get up on my feet and let go of every excuse | |
| What would you do? | |
| 'Cuz 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 makin' up 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 | |
| Cryin' all alone on the bedroom floor? | |
| Cuz 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 | |
