What Would You Do lyrics

Boys and girls wanna hear a true story?
Saturday night was at this real wild party
There was liquor overflowin' the cup,
about 5 or 6 strippers trying to work for a buck
So I, took one girl outside with me,
her name was Londi,
she went to Junior High with me,
I said, why you up in there dancing for cash?
I guess a whole lots 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,
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,
in and out of lock down,
I ain't got a job now, he's just smokin' rock 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 to have a baby,
that's no excuse to be living all crazy
So, she stared me right square in the eye
and said everyday I wake up hopin' to die,
she said
They're gonna know about pain cause,
me and my sister ran away,
so our daddy couldn't rape us,
before I was a teenager
I've done been through more shit,
you can't even relate to!

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,
in and out of lock down,
I ain't got a job now, he's just smokin' rock now,
so for you this is just a good time,
but for me this is what I call life.

What would you do?...
Get up off my feet and stop making tired excuses
What would you do?...
Get up off my feet and stop making tired excuses
What would you do?....
Get up off my feet and stop making tired excuses
What would you do?...
Get up off my feet...

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,
in and out of lock down,
I ain't got a job now, he's just smokin' rock 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,
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,
in and out of lock down
I ain't got a job now, he's just smoking rock 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 ,
Cause he's hungry..
