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