City High - What Would Yu Do

Boys and girls wanna here a true story
Saturday night was at this real wild party
They had the liquor overflowin` the cup
About 5-6 strippers tryin` to work for a buck
Took one girl outside with me
Her name was Lonnie
She went to junior high with me
I said, \"Why you up in there dancin` for cash?\"
I guess a whole lot has changed since I seen you last

What would you do if your son is at home
Cryin` all alone on the bedroom floor
Cause he`s hungry
And the only way to feed him
Is to sleep with a man for a little bit of money
And his dad is gone
Somewhere smokin` rock now
In and out of lockdown
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 with a baby
That`s no excuse to be livin` all crazy
And then she looked me dead 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 wouldn’t rape us
Before I was a teenager
I`ve done been through more shit you can`t even relate to

What would you do if your son is at home
Cryin` all alone on the bedroom floor
Cause he`s hungry
And the only way to feed him
Is to sleep with a man for a little bit of money
And his dad is gone
Somewhere smokin` rock now
In and out of lockdown
I ain`t gotta job now
So for you this is just a good time
But for me, this is what I call life

What would you do
Get up on my feet and let go of every excuse
What would you do
Cause I wouldn`t want my baby to go through what I went through
What would you do
Get up on my feet and stop making tired excuses
What would you do
Girl I know if my mamma can do it, baby you can do it

What would you do if your son is at home
Cryin` all alone on the bedroom floor
Cause he`s hungry
And the only way to feed him
Is to sleep with a man for a little bit of money
And his dad is gone
Somewhere smokin` rock now
In and out of lockdown
I ain’t gotta job now
So for you this is just a good time
But for me, this is what I call life
What would you do if your son is at home
Cryin` all alone on the bedroom floor
Cause he`s hungry
And the only way to feed him
Is to sleep with a man for a little bit of money
And his dad is gone
Somewhere smokin` rock now
In and out of lockdown
I ain`t gotta job now
So for you this is just a good time
But for me, this is what I call life
