AN: I do not own any of these characters, much to my great disappointment. I merely use them to play out my story.
Based on What Would You Do? by Bastille.
Boys and girls you wanna hear a true story?
Saturday night I was at this real wild party
There was liquor overflowin' the cup
About five or six strippers tryin' to work for a buck
So I took one girl outside with me- Her name was Londy-
She went to junior high with me
Said, "Why you up there dancing for cash?
I guess a whole lot has changed since I've 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 sleep with a man for a little bit of money?
and his daddy's gone in and out of lockdown?
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 an 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 sleep with a man for a little bit of money?
and his daddy's gone in and out of lockdown?
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 sleep with a man for a little bit of money?
and his daddy's gone in and out of lockdown
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 sleep with a man for a little bit of money?
and his daddy's gone in and out of lockdown?
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?
AN: I think it is important to understand this song in order to understand the story! I will be updating the next chapter shortly because, let's face it, this is just a tease! Ha, okay. I hope you stick with me on this journey! First story!
