| [Verse 1: Robby] 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 tryna work for a buck And I took one girl outside with me Her name was Lonni, she went to junior high with me I said, "Why you up in there dancin' for cash? I guess a whole a lot's changed since I seen you last." She said [Chorus: Claudette & Robby] 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 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 Mmm [Verse 2: Ryan Toby] 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] that you can't even relate to" [Chorus: City High & (Ryan)] What would you do if your son was at home (Oh) Crying all alone on the bedroom floor (Woahh, woah) 'Cause he's hungry? And the only way to feed him is to Sleep with a man for a little bit of money (Yeah, woah) 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 Mmm (Yeah) [Breakdown: Ryan] Yo, wait, hold up, hold up, hold up Hold up, stop the record, yo Stop the record Yo, shorty, you ain't gonna be going out Like this man [Bridge: (Claudette), Ryan, Toby] 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 making tired excuses (What would you do?) Girl, I know if my mother can do it, baby, you can do it [Chorus: City High & (Ryan)] What would you do if your son was at home Crying all alone on the bedroom floor (Crying all alone, yeah) 'Cause he's hungry? And the only way to feed him is to (Only way to feed him) Sleep with a man for a little bit of money And his daddy's gone (Nooo) Somewhere smokin' rock now, in and out of lockdown (Yeah) I ain't got a job now (Yeahhh) So for you this is just a good time, but for me this is what I call life Mmm [Chorus 2: Robby & Ryan] 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 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 Come on [Chorus: City High] 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 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 Mmm |
