Boys and girls wanna hear a [bad word] story?
Saturday night was at this real wild party
There was liquor overflowing the cup  
About five or six 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 and said 
Why you up in there dancing for cash? 
I guess a whole lot has changed since I 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 got a job now 
He's out smoking 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 hoping to die."
She said, we gonna 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 [bad word] you can't even relate to

I got a job now 
He's out 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) Get up off my feet and stop making up tired excuses
(What would you do) Get up off my feet and stop making up tired excuses
(What would you do) Get up off my feet and stop making up tired excuses
(What would you do) Get up off my feet
