City High - What Would You Do lyrics

rate me

Verse 1:

Boys and girls wanna hear a true story?

Saturday night I 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 lots changed since I 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 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 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, mmm

Verse 2:

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 been through more shit,

then you can't even relate ta...

chorus

Verse 3:

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

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 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 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, mmm

(til end)
