Intro: Dm Bb F C
Verse:
Dm
Boys and girls wanna hear a true story
Bb
Saturday night I was at this real wild party
F
They had the liquor overflowing the cup
C
About five or six strippers trying to work for a buck
Dm
Then I took one girl outside with me
Bb
Her name was Loni she went to junior high with me
F
Said why you up in there dancing for cash
C
I guess a whole lots changed since I seen you last
She said
Chorus:
Dm
What would you do if your son was at home
Bb
Crying all alone on the bedroom floor
F
'Cause he's hungry
And the only way to feed him is to
C
Sleep with a man for a little bit of money
Dm
And his daddys gone, Somewhere smoking rock now
Bb
In and out of lock-down, I ain't got a job now
F
So for you this is just a good time
C
But for me this is what I call life
Verse -same as first-:
Girl you aint thee only one wit a baby,
that's no excuse to be livin all crazy
then she looked me right square in the eye
and said everyday I wake up hopin' to die,
she said- xxxxx I know about pain cuz,
me and my sista ran away, so my daddy
couldn't rape us, before I was a teenager
I done been through more xxxx, you can't even
relate ta!
