Now That's What I Call Music! - 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

so we're 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 sista ran away, so my daddy

couldn't rape us, before I was a teenager

I done been through more ****, 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

so we're 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)
