What Would You Do?

What Would You Do? Lyrics

[1st verse:]

Boys and girls wanna hear a true story?
Saturday
night was at this real wild party
They had the liquor overflowin' the cup,
about
5 or 6 strippers tryin to work for a buck
and I-took one girl
outside wit me, her name
was Loni, she went to Junior High wit me,
I
said, Why you up in there dancin for cash?,
I guess a whole lots changed
since I seen you last
She said..

[Chorus:]

What would
you do?, if your son was at home
crying all alone on the bedroom floor, cuz
he's hungry
and thee only way to feed him is ta sleep wit a man
for a
little bit of money, and his daddy's gone
somewhere smokin' rock now, in and
out of lock down,
I aint gotta job now, so for you this is just a good
time
but for me this is what I call life

[2nd
verse:]

Girl you aint thee only one wit a baby,
that's no excuse
to be livin all crazy
then she looked me right square in the eye
and said
everyday I wake up hopin' to die,
she said- nigga I know about pain cuz,

me and my What Would You Do ran away, so my daddy
couldn't rape us, before I was a
teenager
I done been through more sh*t, you can't even
relate
ta!

[Chorus]

Ooooo
Then she said, What would you do?
if....
Get up on my feet and let go of every excuse
What would you do?
if....
Cuz I wouldn't want my baby, to go through what
I went
through
What would you do? if....
Get up on my feet, stop makin tired
excuses
What would you do? if...
Girl I know if my mother can do it, baby
you can do it

Oooo, oooo, oooo-(yea, yea, yea,
yea)

[Chorus]

What would you do? if yo 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 wit a man
for a little bit of money, and his daddy's
gone
somewhere smokin rock now, in and out of lock down,
I aint gotta job
now, so for you this is just a good time
but for me this is what I call life
(Come on)

[Chorus]
