[Verse]
GBoys and girlDs wanna Emhear a true Cstory
Saturday night I was at this real wild party
They had the liquor overflowing the cup
About five or six strippers trying to work for a buck
Then I took one girl outside with me
Her name was Loni she went to junior high with me
Said why you up in there dancing for cash
I guess a whole lots changed since I seen you last
She said
[Chorus]
GWhat would you Ddo if your Emson was at Chome
Crying 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 daddys gone
Somewhere smoking 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
[Verse]
Girl you ain't the only one with a baby
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 'cause
Me and my sister ran away so my daddy couldn't rape us
Before I was a teenager
I done been through more sh
You can't even relate ta
[Chorus]
What would you do if your son was at home
Crying 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 daddy's gone
Somewhere smoking 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
[Verse]
Then she said
What would you do if?
Get up on my feet and let go of every excuse
What would you do if?
'Cause I wouldn't want my baby to go through what I went through
What would you do if?
Get up on my feet and stop making up tired excuses
What would you do if?
Girl I know if my mother could do it baby you can do it!
[Chorus]
What would you do if your son was at home
Crying 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 daddy's gone
Somewhere somking 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
Just play this over and over again. Its the same for the chorus and the verse. Listen to

[Verse]

G D Em C

Boys and girls wanna hear a true story

Saturday night I was at this real wild party

They had the liquor overflowing the cup

About five or six strippers trying to work for a buck

Then I took one girl outside with me

Her name was Loni she went to junior high with me

Said why you up in there dancing for cash

I guess a whole lots changed since I seen you last

She said

[Chorus]

G D Em C

What would you do if your son was at home

Crying 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 daddys gone

Somewhere smoking 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

[Verse]

Girl you ain't the only one with a baby

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 'cause

Me and my sister ran away so my daddy couldn't rape us

Before I was a teenager

I done been through more sh

You can't even relate ta

[Chorus]

What would you do if your son was at home

Crying 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 daddy's gone

Somewhere smoking 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

[Verse]

Then she said

What would you do if?

Get up on my feet and let go of every excuse

What would you do if?

'Cause I wouldn't want my baby to go through what I went through

What would you do if?

Get up on my feet and stop making up tired excuses

What would you do if?

Girl I know if my mother could do it baby you can do it!

[Chorus]

What would you do if your son was at home

Crying 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 daddy's gone

Somewhere somking rock now

In and out of lock-down
