So for you this is just a good time but for me this is what I call life
And said, "Every day I wake up hopin' to die"
Her name was Lonni, she went to Jr. High wit me
Stop the record, yo, stop the record!
They had the liquor overflowin' the cup
That's no excuse to be livin' all crazy
Get up on my feet and stop makin' up tired excuses
In and out of lockdown, I ain't got a job now
What would you do if your son was at home
So for you this is just a good time but for me this is what I call life
In and out of lockdown, I ain't got a job now
Somewhere smokin' rock now
For a little bit of money and his daddy's gone
For a little bit of money and his daddy's gone
Cuz he's hungry, and the only way to feed him
For a little bit of money and his daddy's gone
Girl, you ain't the only one wit a baby
Cryin' all alone on the bedroom floor?
Somewhere smokin' rock now
And I took one girl outside wit me
What would you do if your son was at home
What would you do if your son was at home
Is to sleep with a man
Cryin' all alone on the bedroom floor?
Is to sleep with a man
'Cuz I wouldn't want my baby to go through what I went through
Somewhere smokin' rock now
What would you do?
For a little bit of money and his daddy's gone
In and out of lockdown, I ain't got a job now
Get up on my feet and let go of every excuse
I guess a whole lot's changed since I seen you last"
Cuz he's hungry, and the only way to feed him
You can't even relate to"
Then she looked me right square in the eye
In and out of lockdown, I ain't got a job now
Come on, what would you do?
Cuz he's hungry, and the only way to feed him
Is to sleep with a man
Somewhere smokin' rock now
Before I was a teenager, I done been through more shit
{No, wait, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on
She said, "What would you do if your son was at home
Me and my sister ran away so my daddy couldn't rape us
She said, "Nigga, I know about pain 'cuz
Holdup!}
So for you this is just a good time but for me this is what I call life
Girl, I know if my mother can do it, baby, you can do it
Cryin' all alone on the bedroom floor?
For a little bit of money and his daddy's gone
Is to sleep with a man
Cryin' all alone on the bedroom floor?
Cuz he's hungry, and the only way to feed him
Is to sleep with a man
Somewhere smokin' rock now
In and out of lockdown, I ain't got a job now
Come on
I said, "Why you up in there dancin' for cash?
So for you this is just a good time but for me this is what I call life"
Yo, Shorty, you ain't gotta be goin' out like this, man!
What would you do?
What would you do?
'Cuz he's hungry, and the only way to feed him
About 5, 6 strippers tryin' to work for a buck
Cryin' all alone on the bedroom floor?
What would you do if your son was at home
