Chorus:

When she flat on her back she?.
And if her kids only knew she be?
When she makin that dolla she like?
Now why you wanna go and do that?

Verse 1:

Now it?s on, another Friday night, shirt tight, mini skirt
New club, sippin bub, acting like a damn flirt
Lookin for a man, car worth 200 grand
Ice all on his hands, paper-stacked rubber bands
Do what you can, grind to a slow jam
Say you got no man, and you wearing no panties
When the club close, the shit don?t end
While you sneak around back and ditch your friends for his Benz
Why you act like a hoe everywhere you go?
Think we don?t know you ain?t just social?
You the type that like a one night stand
Leave your kids at home while mama bangin with a new man
She getting tapped and don?t mind givin a lap dance
Felt the trains ran, back seat of a van
It happened again by a man and his friend
You were used then abused, get with the program
When you was 18 you was the prom queen
And now you 32 squeezing into the same jeans
But you don?t even stress, steady thinking bout sex
With dudes that flex, but tell me girl what?s next? tell her

Chorus:

When she flat on her back she?.
And if her kids only knew she be?
When she makin that dolla she like?
Now why you wanna go and do that?

Think fore you strip down, rip pounds, get clowned
Soon you won?t be hittin a thing, cept ground
You need to back out before you get smacked out
By a wacked out pimp with a mack out
And your last pay check that you spent quick
Was from you getting stripped down and shakin it
Degrade yourself every time you need chips
And when your self-esteem drops just take a hit
So you can forget and try to cope with
Payin a mortgage and raising four kids
Each one from a different daddy, you?ll give up the poo nanny
After tokin on a fatty in the back of pimps caddys
You need to get on track and stay clean
Fore you end up in an ally, centre of a crime scene
Just look inside and figure out who you are
Because I?ve seen this before and you don?t need to catch a life scar

Chorus:

When she flat on her back she?.
And if her kids only knew she be?
When she makin that dolla she like?
Now why you wanna go and do that?

Get on a new track, you cracked? Screw that
You the girl that went down hill, then flew back
Turn you life round, gotta do it right now
No more night out, smoking that pipe now
Can?t lose sight, how? Gotta think twice bout
Your messed up life route, where it went side down
It ain?t easy as a single mom
Tryin to raise four kids on your own, don?t think ya strong
But you gotta try and do it, put your mind to it
Keep your head up, don?t get fed up
Get a job and work your way up
It may take some time, but if you try hard and stay tough
Then one day you?ll see stickin by your family
Is far more rewarding than the club and drugs could ever be
It ain?t too late to get your life on track
If there?s a will there?s a way, so get straight, put down the crack

Chorus:

When she flat on her back she?.
And if her kids only knew she be?
When she makin that dolla she like?
Now why you wanna go and do that?
