Lyrics
OOOOOH YEAH... YEAH... OH... YEAH...
VERSE 1:
Hottest thing on the block and always looked real cute
Everbody always called her Susie Que
See Susie never knew she's worth more than a dollar
She sold her body for a dolla-and-a-holla
Raising 5 kids with no husband,
She's tryin to be the superwoman
So what can she do, where can she go?
She's cryin inside but nobody knows
HOOK:
So what do you stand for
It's time to demand yours'
Open up your mouth and scream it loud
FREEDOM!
So what do you stand for
It's time to demand yours'
Open up your mouth and scream it loud
FREEDOM!
VERSE 2:
He's a big man, at least he tries to be
12 years old raisin his family
Cause his momma's on the corner, daddy's on the block
His little baby brother, he just got shot
Now he's tired of being a man
Wants to play again, thinks that no one understands
So where can he go, what can he do?
You see him everyday but he means nothing to you
REPEAT HOOK
BRIDGE:
Summer is winter and the winter's not cold
Economy is messed up and the soldiers' still gone
The rich keep getting richer and the poor stay broke
It's time to come together, rise up there's still hope
So what do you, what do you , what do you stand for
REPEAT HOOK
