What Would You Do - City High (full lyrics) Boys and girls, wanna hear a true story? Saturday night was at this real wild party They had the liquor overflowin\u0027 the cup, About 5-6 strippers trying to work for a buck And I took one girl outside with me, Her name was Lonnie, she went to Junior High with me, I said, \u0022Why you up in there dancing for cash? I guess a whole lot\u0027s changed since I seen you last.\u0022 She said, \u0022What would you do if your son was at home Crying all alone On the bedroom floor, \u0027Cause he\u0027s hungry And the only way to feed him is To sleep with a man for a little bit of money? And his daddy\u0027s gone somewhere smokin\u0027 rock now, In and out of lockdown, I ain\u0027t got a job now, So for you this is just a good time But for me this is what I call life.\u0022 Girl, you ain\u0027t the only one with a baby, That\u0027s no excuse to be living all crazy Then she looked me right square in the eye And said, \u0022Everyday I wake up hopin\u0027 to die.\u0022 She said, \u0022Nigga, I know about pain \u0027Cause me and my sister ran away, So my daddy couldn\u0027t rape us Before I was a teenager I done been through more shit You can\u0027t even relate to!\u0022 What would you do if your son was at home Crying all alone On the bedroom floor, \u0027Cause he\u0027s hungry And the only way to feed him is To sleep with a man for a little bit of money? And his daddy\u0027s gone somewhere smokin\u0027 rock now, In and out of lockdown, I ain\u0027t got a job now, So for you this is just a good time But for me this is what I call life Yo wait Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up Stop the record yo Stop the record Yo shorty you ain\u0027t gotta be going out like this man Hold up What would you do? Get up on my feet and let go of every excuse What would you do? \u0027Cause I wouldn\u0027t want my baby to go through what I went through C\u0027mon, 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 What would you do if your son was at home Crying all alone On the bedroom floor, \u0027Cause he\u0027s hungry And the only way to feed him is To sleep with a man for a little bit of money? And his daddy\u0027s gone somewhere smokin\u0027 rock now, In and out of lockdown, I ain\u0027t got a job 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 \u0027Cause he\u0027s hungry And the only way to feed him is To sleep with a man for a little bit of money? And his daddy\u0027s gone somewhere smoking rock now, In and out of lockdown, I ain\u0027t got a job now, So for you this is just a good time But for me this is what I call life, Come on What would you do if your son was at home Crying all alone On the bedroom floor, \u0027Cause he\u0027s hungry And the only way to feed him is To sleep with a man for a little bit of money? And his daddy\u0027s gone somewhere smokin\u0027 rock now, In and out of lockdown, I ain\u0027t got a job now, So for you this is just a good time But for me this is what I call life
