What Would You Do? - Ed Cosens

Boys and girls, wanna hear a true story? Saturday night was at this real wild party There was liquor overflowin' the cup About 5 or 6 strippers trying to work for a buck So I took one girl outside with me Her name was Londy, she went to Junior High with me I said "Why you up in there dancing for cash? I guess a whole lot's changed since I seen you last" She said "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 in and out of lock down I ain't got a job now He's just 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 to have a baby That's no excuse to be living all crazy" So she stared me right square in the eye And said "Everyday I wake up, hoping to die" She said "They're gonna know about pain 'Cause me and my sister ran away So our daddy couldn't rape us Before I was a teenager I done been through more shit You can't even relate to" 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 in and out of lock down I ain't got a job now He's just 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 off my feet and stop making tired excuses What would you do? Get up off my feet and stop making tired excuses What would you do? Get up off my feet and stop making tired excuses What would you do? Get up off my feet! 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 in and out of lock down I ain't got a job now He's just 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 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 in and out of lock down I ain't got a job now He's just 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 if your son was at home Crying all alone On the bedroom floor Cause he's hungry?

(What would you do to you?) I caught you red-handed Red lips on some Tennessee that ain't mine I should call it off right where we're standing 'Cause, girl, you're wasted and I don't wanna waste my time Lookin' in your eyes, baby, I don't even see you Runnin' around like you don't even wanna be you I know the story, baby, I want a confession I got one question, what would you do to you? Would you love you? Would you leave you out to dry? Would you lie and say that runnin' don't cross your mind? And tell me, baby, would you drive you crazy? What would you do? What would you to you? Knowin' you, you'd set the whole damn house on fire Knowin' you, you wouldn't let you make it out alive 'Fore you blame me and tell me that you hate me What would you do? What would you to you? (What would you do to you?) (Oh) Tell me honestly, if you practice honesty Would you tell the world that you're everythin' I thought you'd be? Would you take you back? Would you cut you loose? If you were wearin' these boots, baby, what would you do to you? Would you love you? Would you leave you out to dry? Would you lie and say that runnin' don't cross your mind? And tell me, baby, would you drive you crazy? What would you do? What would you to you? Knowin' you, you'd set the whole damn house on fire Knowin' you, you wouldn't let you make it out alive 'Fore you blame me and tell me that you hate me What would you do? What would you to you?
