Boys and girls wanna hear a true story?Saturday night was at this real wild partyThere was liquor overflowing the cupAbout five or six strippersTrying to work for a buckTook one girl outside wit meHer name was LondiShe went to junior high with meI said"Why you up in thereDancing for cash?I guess a whole lot's changedSince I seen you last"She said"What would you doIf your son was at homeCrying all alongOn the bedroom floorCause he's hungryAnd the only way to feed him is toSleep with a manFor a little bit of moneyAnd his daddy's goneIn and out of lock downI ain't got a job nowHe's just smoking rock nowSo for you this is just a good timeBut for meThis is what I call life""Girl you ain't the only one to have a babyThat's no excuseTo be living all crazy"So she stared me rightSquare in the eye and said"Everyday I wake upHopin' to die"She said"They're going to know about painCause me and my sister ran awaySo our daddy couldn't rape usBefore I was a teenagerI done been through more shit youCan't even relate too""What would you doIf your son was at homeCrying all alongOn the bedroom floorCause he's hungryAnd the only way to feed him is toSleep with a manFor a little bit of moneyAnd his daddy's goneIn and out of lock downI ain't got a job nowHe's just smoking rock nowSo for you this is just a good timeBut for meThis is what I call life"What would you do?Get up off on my feet and stop making tired excusesWhat would you do?Get up on off my feet and stop making tired excusesWhat would you do?Get up off on my feet and stop making tired excusesWhat would you do?Get up my feet"What would you doIf your son was at homeCrying all alongOn the bedroom floorCause he's hungryAnd the only way to feed him is toSleep with a manFor a little bit of moneyAnd his daddy's goneIn and out of lock downI ain't got a job nowHe's just smoking rock nowSo for you this is just a good timeBut for meThis is what I call life""What would you doIf your son was at homeCrying all alongOn the bedroom floorCause he's hungryAnd the only way to feed him is toSleep with a manFor a little bit of moneyAnd his daddy's goneIn and out of lock downI ain't got a job nowHe's just smoking rock nowSo for you this is just a good timeBut for meThis is what I call life""What would you doIf your son was at homeCrying all alongOn the bedroom floorCause he's hungry...
