[Intro 1]
[Am][F]
[C][Am][G]
[Am][F]
[G][C][G]

[Verse 1]
[G]Boys and girls,
wanna hear a true story?
[C]Saturday night was at this real wild party
[G]There was liquor overflo[C]win' the cup
[Am]About [C]5 or 6 strippers
trying to work for a buck
So [Am]I took one girl outside with me
Her [C]name was Londy, she went to
Junior [F]High with me
[C]I said "Why you up
in there dancing for cash?
I guess a [G]whole lot's changed
since I seen you last"

[Verse 2]
She said
[Am]"What would you do if your
son was at home
Crying all alone
[F]On the bedroom floor
Cause he's [C]hungry and the
only way to feed him is to
[G]Sleep with a man for a little
bit of money?
And his [Am]daddy's gone
in and out of lock down
I ain't got a [F]job now
He's just smokin' rock now
[C]So for you this is just a good time
But [G]for me, this is what I call [Am]life"

[Verse 3]
[Am]"Girl, you ain't the only one
to have a baby
[F]That's no excuse to be living all crazy"
[C]So she stared me right square in the eye
And said [G]"Everyday I wake up,
hoping to die"
She said [Am]"They're gonna
know about pain
'Cause me and my [F]sister ran away
So our daddy couldn't rape us
[C]Before I was a teenager
I done [G]been through more shit
You can't even relate [Am]to"

[Verse 4]
[Am]What would you do if your
son was at home
[F]Crying all alone
On the bedroom floor
Cause he's [C]hungry and the
only way to feed him is to
[G]Sleep with a man for a little
bit of money?
And his [Am]daddy's gone in
and out of lock down
[F]I ain't got a job now
He's just smokin' rock now
[C]So for you this is just a good time
But for [G]me this is what I call life

[Verse 5]
[Am]What would you do?
Get up off my feet [F]and stop making
tired [C]excuses
What would you do?
Get up off my [G]feet and stop
making tired excuses
[Am]What would you do?
Get up off my feet and stop
making [F]tired [C]excuses
What would you do?
Get up off my feet!

[Verse 6]
[G]What [Am]would you do if your
son was at home
[F]Crying all alone
On the bedroom floor
[G]Cause he's [C]hungry and the
only way to feed him is to
[G]Sleep with a man for a little
bit of money?
And his [Am]daddy's gone in
and out of lock down
[F]I ain't got a job now
He's just smokin' rock now
[C]So for you this is just a good time
But [G]for me this is what I call life

[Verse 7]
[Am]What would you do if your
son was at home
Crying all [F]alone
On [G]the bedroom [C]floor
Cause he's hungry and the only
way to feed him is [G]to
Sleep with a man for a little bit of money?
And his [Am]daddy's gone in and out of lock down
I ain't got a job [F]now
He's just smokin' rock now
[C]So for you this is just a good time
But for me this is what [G]I call life

[Verse 8]
[G]What would you [Am]do if your
son was at home
Crying all alone
On the [F]bedroom floor
Cause he's hungry?
