Boys and girls wanna hear a true story? Saturday night was at this real wild party They had the liquor overflowin' the cup About 5 or 6 strippers tryin’ to work for a buck And I-took one girl outside wit’ me Her name was Loni, she went to Junior 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.. **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 So we're smokin' rock now, in and out of lock down I ain't gotta job now So for you this is just a good time But for me this is what I call life** 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 everyday I wake up hopin' to die She said - nigga, I know about pain ‘cause me and my sister ran away So my daddy couldn't rape us Before I was a teenager I done been through more shit You can't even relate to! **Chorus** Ooooo Then she said, What would you do? if.... Get up on my feet and let go of every excuse What would you do? if.... ‘Cause I wouldn't want my baby, to go through what I went through What would you do? if.... Get up on my feet, stop makin’ tired excuses What would you do? if... Girl, I know if my mother can do it, baby you can do it Oooo, oooo, oooo (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) **Chorus** [x2] Come On **Chorus** | ||||
