[Ying Yang Twins Talking]
I know what you go through
from me to you, I love you [Ying Yang Twins Rap]
From the network to the bar never satisfied
Somebody gotcha doin sh** to f** up your pride
You ain't a hoe, you just trying to get by
everyday lookin up at the sky
Sometimes sh** gets so hard
it really have you bothered
first you sigh
then you cry
up a whole bottle of water
seem like this sh** wont ever end
merry-go-rounds turn to whirlwinds
waves turn to a hurricane
if you see joy you got to see pain
sh** in the world ain't ever gonna change
even when you die it'll be the same
now you the victim of circumstance
charles ain't callin so you forced to dance
Up in there prayin for a second change
just wanna put back on your pants
walk out the club and throw up your hands
tired of being disrespected by a man
say this sh** ain't right for you
n***a's been yellin all night for you
got you in the mind whats best for you
walk up to the club gonna tell 'em you through [Levine] She stuck off in this little room
With nothing left to hold onto
Her life is in a little box
She's wonderin will it ever stop
The life of a stripper [Female voice] I'm so sick and I'm so tired of these clubs I keep cryin
Everynight I wipe my eyes cause these years pa** me by
I give up I'm all in
My whole life is full of sin
This road is a dead end
I wanna live again [Ying Yang Twins Talking] From the point when a child is torn from the mothers umbilical cord, no one really inforces that life is gonna be hard. It's kinda left up to the teachers, but the teachers leave it up to the preachers, and the preachers ain't fillin the bleachers, it's the rappers say it ain't. [Ying Yang Twins Rap] It was this girl next door
pretty fine little woman
going to college takin off her clothes for money
She gotta pay the rent
she got a little girl
her baby daddy ain't sh**
see what she dealin with
But she gotta hold on *hold on*
Wanna leave the club alone but
it feels wrong
She gotta pay the bills
but in the meantime she like f** how she feels livin is real
so she back in the club again
takin off her clothes again
goin to school, goin to work gettin tirin
lack of sleep
but baby gotta eat need shoes on her feet
she got a test next week so she stressin askin God to give her a blessin send her in the right direction
her parents died when she was 8 years old
after that felt like she was all alone
but she got her grandparents and they raised her well keep going to school
takin care of yourself is getting hard
goin to school and workin the club at the same time lookin for love
She can't be strippin for her occupation
in a minute she be graduatin
make her wanna throw up her hands
cause she only wanna live again [Levine] She stuck off in this little room
With nothing left to hold onto
Her life is in a little box
She's wonderin will it ever stop
The life of a stripper [Female voice] I'm so sick and I'm so tired of these clubs I keep cryin
Everynight I wipe my eyes cause these years pa** me by
I give up I'm all in
My whole life is full of sin
This world is a dead end
I wanna live again [Levine] Ooohhh oohh oooh oooh yeah yeah ohhh mmm Snuck off in this little room
with nothing left to hold onto
her life is in a little box
wonderin if it'll ever stop ohhh yeahhh the life of a stripper.
