Boys and girls wanna hear a true story?
Saturday night was at this real wild party,
They had the liquor overflowing the cup
About five six strippers tryin ta work for a buck,
and I took one girl outside with me
Her name was Lila; she went to junior high with me
I said, "Why you up in there dancin' for cash?
I guess a whole lot's changed since I've seen you last."
She said...

What would you do if your son was at home,
crying all alone on the bedroom floor
'cuz he's hungry
and the only way to feed him is to
sleep with a man for a little bit a money
and his daddy's gone
somewhere smokin' rock now
in and out of lock down
I ain't got a 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
but that's no excuse to be living all crazy
then she looked me right square in the eye
and said, "Everyday I wake up, hoping to die."
she said, "Nigga I know about pain 'cuz,
me and my sister ran away so my daddy couldn't rape us
before I was a teenager,
I'd done been through more shit you can't even relate ta,"

What would you do if your son was at home,
crying all alone on the bedroom floor
'cuz he's hungry
and the only way to feed him is to
sleep with a man for a little bit a money
and his daddy's gone
somewhere smokin' rock now
in and out of lock down
I ain't got a job now
so for you this is just a good time
but for me this is what I call life

Hold-up
(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
(Come on What Would You Do?)
Get up on my feet and stop makin' tired excuses
(What Would You Do?)
Girl I know if my mother can do it, baby you can do it

What would you do if your son was at home,
crying all alone on the bedroom floor
'cuz he's hungry
and the only way to feed him is to
sleep with a man for a little bit a money
and his daddy's gone
somewhere smokin' rock now
in and out of lock down
I ain't got a 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 was at home
crying all alone on the bedroom floor
'cuz he's hungry
and the only way to feed him is to,
sleep with a man for a little bit of money
and his daddy's gone
somewhere smokin' rock now
in and out of lock down
I ain't got a job now
so for you this is just a good time but for me this is
what I call life
Come on.....

What would you do if your son was at home,
crying all alone on the bedroom floor
'cuz he's hungry
and the only way to feed him is to
sleep with a man for a little bit a money
and his daddy's gone
somewhere smokin' rock now
in and out of lock down
I ain't got a job now
so for you this is just a good time
but for me this is what I call life
