boyz and girls, wanna hear a true story?

saturday night i was at this really wild part

they had the liquor ova flowin' the cups

about five six strippers tryin to work for a buck and i,

took one girl outside with me

her name was lani she went thru jr. high with me

i said why you up in there dancin' for cash?

i guess you whole life's changed since i've seen you last

She said



(chorus)

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 ta feed him is ta sleep witha man for a little

bit of money

and his daddy's gone

somewhere smokin' rock now in and out of lock down

i aint got a job now

so for you this is just a good time but for me this is what i call

life.



Girl you aint the only one with a baby

but that's no excuse to be livin' all crazy

and then she looked me right square in the eye and said

everyday i wake up hopin to die

she said nigga i know about pain cuz

me and my sista ran away so my daddy couldn't rape us

before i was a teeneger i'da been thru more shit that u can't

even relate ta



(chorus)



ooh.. Then she said

(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 thru

what i went thru

(what would you do) get up on my feet and stop makin' tired

excuses

(what would you do) Girl i no if my mother can do it baby you

can do it



(chorus)



(rap) 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 ta sleep with a man for a little bit a money and

his daddy's gone, Somewhere smokin' rock now, In and out a

lock down, 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 c'mon...



(chorus)
