Life movie - What Would You Do? lyrics

rate me

Song by City High<br /><br>

Boys and girls wanna hear a true story<br>

Saturday night I was at this real wild party<br>

They had the liquor overflowing the cup<br>

About five or six strippers trying to work for a buck<br>

Then I took one girl outside with me<br>

Her name was Loni she went to junior high with me<br>

Said why you up in there dancing for cash<br>

I guess a whole lots changed since I seen you last<br>

She said<br>

<br>

What would you do if your son was at home<br>

Crying all alone on the bedroom floor<br>

'Cause he's hungry<br>

And the only way to feed him is to<br>

Sleep with a man for a little bit of money<br>

And his daddys gone<br>

Somewhere smoking rock now<br>

In and out of lock-down<br>

I ain't got a job now<br>

So for you this is just a good time<br>

But for me this is what I call life<br>

<br>

Girl you ain't the only one with a baby<br>

That's no excuse to be living all crazy<br>

Then she looked me right square in the eye<br>

And said everyday I wake up hoping to die<br>

She said nigga I know about pain 'cause<br>

Me and my sister ran away so my daddy couldn't rape us<br>

Before I was a teenager<br>

I done been through more sh<br>

You can't even relate ta<br>

<br>

What would you do if your son was at home<br>

Crying all alone on the bedroom floor<br>

'Cause he's hungry<br>

And the only way to feed him is to<br>

Sleep with a man for a little bit of money<br>

And his daddy's gone<br>

Somewhere smoking rock now<br>

In and out of lock-down<br>

I ain't got a job now<br>

So for you this is just a good time<br>

But for me this is what I call life<br>

<br>

Then she said<br>

What would you do if?<br>

Get up on my feet and let go of every excuse<br>

What would you do if?<br>

'Cause I wouldn't want my baby to go through what I went through<br>

What would you do if?<br>

Get up on my feet and stop making up tired excuses<br>

What would you do if?<br>

Girl I know if my mother could do it baby you can do it!<br>

<br>

What would you do if your son was at home<br>

Crying all alone on the bedroom floor<br>

'Cause he's hungry<br>

And the only way to feed him is to<br>

Sleep with a man for a little bit of money<br>

And his daddy's gone<br>

Somewhere somking rock now<br>

In and out of lock-down<br>

i ain't got a job now<br>

So for you this is just a good time<br>

But for me this is what I call life<br>
