| I know there's probably not a lot of rap fans on the board, but I just love this song. Plus I like how there's that Dr. Dre interlude in it and that there's 2 sides to the song.
~*~ What Would You Do ~*~
Boys and girls wanna hear a true story?
Saturday night I was at this real wild party
We have the liquor over flowing the cup
About five, six strippers trying to work for a buck and I took one girl outside with me
Her name was Monica, she went to junior high with me and said, "why you up in there dancing for cash
I guess your whole life's changed sinced
I've seen you last."
she said
(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 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
(Listen)
Girl you ain't the only one with a baby
That's no excuse to be living all crazy
Then she looked me back 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'd been through more shit you can't even relate to...
What would you do if you're 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 smokinn' 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
(Listen)
Then she said (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 mother can do it, baby you can do it (what would you do?)
What would you do if you're 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 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...
