What Would You Do? Lyrics By City High

    robby
    boys and girls wanna hear a true story
    saturday night i was at this real wild party
    they had the liquor overflowing the cup
    about five or six strippers tryna work for a buck
    and i took one girl outside with me
    her name was lonni she went to junior high with me
    i said why you up in there dancin’ for cash
    i guess a whole a lot’s changed since i seen you last
    she said

    claudette robby
    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
    somewhere smokin’ rock now in and out of lockdown
    i ain’t got a job now
    so for you this is just a good time but for me this is what i call life
    mmm

    ryan toby
    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 done been through more shit that you can’t even relate to
