Bastille - What Would You Do?
Boys and girls wanna hear a true story?
Saturday night I 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 lonni, she went to jr. High with me
I said, why you up in there dancin' for cash?
I guess a whole alots changed since I seen you last
She said:
?What would you do if your son was at home
Cryin' 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 ain't got a job now
Must be smokin? 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 with a baby,
That's no excuse to be livin' all crazy,
Then she looked me right square in the eye,
And said ?every day I wake up hopin' to die?,
She said ?nigga I know about pain ?cause me and my sister ran away
So my daddy couldn't rape us,
Before I was a teenager I?ve been through more shit
That you can't even relate to?
?What would you do if your son was at home
Cryin' 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 ain't got a job now
Must be smokin? 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 on my feet and stop makin' up tired excuses
?What would you do if your son was at home
Cryin' 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 ain't got a job now
Must be smokin? rock now
So for you this is just a good time
But for me this is what I call life?
