what would you do by city high
LYRICS:
Boys and Girls wanna hear a true story?
Saturday night 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 Lonnie she went to Junior High with me
And said why you up in there dancing for cash?
I guess a whole lot has changed since I seen you last
She said...
Chorus:
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 wit a man for a little bit of money
And his daddy's gone
Somewhere smoking rock now
In and out of 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, mmmm
Girl you ain't the only one with a baby
Thats no excuse to be living all crazy
Then she looked me right square in the eye
And said, 'Everyday I wake up hoping to die'
She said ***** I know about pain cause
Me and my sista' ran away so my daddy couldn't rape us
Before I was a teenager
I'd been through more ****, you can't even relate to
Repeat Chorus
(Yo hold up, hold up, somethin ain't soundin right
you mean shorty couln't go out and get a job I know
this mad shorty going through the same thang
if I ever ran into your girl I would say)
Hold up...
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
C'mon, what would you do?
Get up on my feet, stop makin tired excuses
What would you do?
Girl I know if my mother can do it, baby you can do it
Oooo, oooo, oooo-(yea, yea, yea, yea)
Repeat Chorus
What would you do? if yo son was at home,
crying all alone on the bedroom floor, cuz he's hungry
and the only way to feed him is to sleep wit a man
for a little bit of money, and his daddy's gone
somewhere smokin rock now, in and out of lock down,
I aint gotta job now, so for you this is just a good time
but for me this is what I call life (Come on)
Repeat Chorus
