[1st verse:]
Boys and girls wanna hear a true story?
Saturdaynight 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 girloutside wit me, her name
was Loni, she went to Junior High wit me,
Isaid, Why you up in there dancin for cash?,
I guess a whole lots changedsince I seen you last
She said..
[Chorus:]
What wouldyou do?, if your son was at home
crying all alone on the bedroom floor, cuzhe's hungry
and thee only way to feed him is ta sleep wit a man
for alittle bit of money, and his daddy's gone
somewhere smokin' rock now, in andout of lock down,
I aint gotta job now, so for you this is just a goodtime
but for me this is what I call life
[2ndverse:]
Girl you aint thee only one wit a baby,
that's no excuseto be livin all crazy
then she looked me right square in the eye
and saideveryday I wake up hopin' to die,
she said- nigga I know about pain cuz,
me and my What Would You Do ran away, so my daddy
couldn't rape us, before I was ateenager
I done been through more shit, you can't even

What would you do? if yo son was at home,
crying all alone on the bedroom floor, cuz he's hungry
and the only wayto feed him is to sleep wit a man
for a little bit of money, and his daddy'sgone
