Boys and girls wanna hear a true story, was Saturday night, was
at this real wild party, they had the liquor overflowing the
cup, about 5 or 6 strippers tryna work for a buck, and I took
one girl outside wit` me, her name was Lonnie, she went to junior
high wit` me. I said,Why you up in there dancing for cash, its
been a whole lotta chang since I seen ya last. She said
[Claudette]
(Chorus)
What would you do if your son was home cryin all alone on the
bedroom floor `cause he`s hungry, and the only way to feed him
is sleep wit` a man for a little bit of money and his daddy`s
gone somewhere smoking rock now, in and outta lockdown, I ain`t
gotta job now, so for you this is justa good time but for me
this 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 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 we ran away so our daddy couldn`t
rape us. before I was a teenager I done and been through more
shit than you can relate ta
(Chorus)
Whoa ooh oh
Then she said (what would you do?), get on my feet and let go
of every excuse (What would you do?)`cause I wouldn`t want me

up on my feet and stop making tired excuses (What would you do?)Girl
