Testo What Would You Do? - City High
Testo della canzone What Would You Do? (City High), tratta dall'album What Would You Do? (Sped Up)
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 or six strippers tryna work for a buck
Then I took one girl outside with me
Her name was Lon, 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 seen you last"
She said
What would you do if your son was 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 daddy's gone
Somewhere smokin' rock now, in and out of lockdown
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, mm
Girl, you ain't the only one with a baby
That's no excuse to be livin' all crazy
Then she looked me right square in the eye
And said, "Every day I wake up hopin' 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 shit you can't even relate to"
What would you do if your son was at home (Oh)
Cryin' all alone on the bedroom floor (Woah)
'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 (Yeah)
Somewhere smokin' rock now, in and out of lockdown
I ain't got a job now, so for you this is just a good time (Woah)
But for me this is what I call life, mm
Yo, wait, hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up
Stop the record, yo, stop the record
Yo, shorty, you ain't gotta be goin' out like this, man
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
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 daddy's gone
Somewhere smokin' rock now, in and out of lockdown
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, mm
What would you do if your son was 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 daddy's gone
Somewhere smokin' rock now, in and out of lockdown
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, mm
What would you do if your son was 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 daddy's gone
Somewhere smokin' rock now, in and out of lockdown
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, mm
