Tank - Lady On My Block lyrics

There's a little lad on my block

Guess she's about 35

Has about 7 kids ain't never been married

Hasn't done anything with her life

Everytime I walk by she asks me

If I can spare some change

So she can run to the neighbourhood Butch' and grab a little some'

To help her make it through the day

She looks like back in her day, she was oh so very pretty

Probabaly the talk of the shool, her man played ball

She was probably even prom queen, if u know what i mean

How did she go from havin' everything, to havin' nothing at all

Too many kids and strung out on drugs

She don't have nobody she can call

[Chorus:]

There's a little lady on my block [x5]

There's a little lady on my block

She doesn't even have a job

But i guess if u call sellin' yourself earnin' a living

She's making it pretty fine

Her pimp don't care if she has kids

And most of the time she don't eat

She's spendin' her rent triyn to get vent...(sound of car passing by)

Shit little lady keep this baby out the street,ohhh

She's so tired of livin this way

So one day she has a plan

Got her hands on a gun, I don't know how

And decided to take a stand,ohhh

She goes two weeks without payin' her pimp

So he comes over and breaks her down

I hear two shots...and a baby scream

He never made it out

[chorus: 'till fade]
