What Would You Do If — текст песни (Cityhigh)

verse 1:

Boys and girls you wanna hear a true story
Saturday night was at this real wild party
Had the liquor overflowing the cup
`bout 5, 6 strippers trying ta work fo a buck
and I took one girl outside wit me
her name was lina she went ta junior high wit me
I said why you up in there dancin for cash
guess a whole lots changed since I seen ya last
she said

chorus:

What would ya do if your son was crying all alone
on the bedroom floor cuzs he`s hungry
and the only way ta feed him is ta sleep with a man
for a little bit of money
and his daddys gone
somewhere smoking rock now
in and outta lockdown
I ain`t got a job now
so for you this is just a good time
but fo me this is what i call life
mmm

verse 2:

Girl you ain`t the only one witha baby
but thats no excuse ta be livin all crazy
then she looked me straight in the eye and said
everyday i wake up hoping ta die she said
nigger i know about pain cuz me and my sister ran
away so my daddy couldn`t rape us
before I was teenager i den been through more shit
you can`t even relate ta

chorus

bridge;

Hold up

what would ya do
get up on my feet and let go of every excuse

what would ya do
i wouldn`t want my baby ta go through what i went through

what would ya do
get up on my feet and stop makin tired excuses

what would ya do
girl i know if my mother can do it you can do it
