lyrics in description:

Boys and girls wanna hear a true story?


Saturday night was at this real wild party


There was liquor overflowing the cup 


About five or six strippers trying to work for a buck, So I


took one girl outside with me 
Her name was Londi

she went to junior high with me and said


why you up in there dancing for cash?

I guess a whole lot has 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 got a job now

he's out smoking 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, we gonna know about pain cause 


Me and my sister ran away so my 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 got a job now

he's out smoking 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 up tired excuses

(What would you do) Get up off my feet and stop making up tired excuses

(What would you do) Get up off my feet and stop making up 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 got a job now

he's out smoking 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 got a job now

he's out smoking 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

This one is so much better than the city high version, this feels less like just lyrics put to a beat and more like a story told through music

oh my god stop fighting neither artists would want you to say one or the other sucks they both put effort in the songs if you don't like it just dislike the video but don't hate and if you like then don't hate on the ones who don't

I prefer the music of this one, but the singing is bad for my ears.

I love the song. I do think it's kind of ironic that the lyrics condemn strippers when was in a strip club paying their salary. I seems a little contradictory. If it was any other girl I doubt he would have cared.

The original is absolute shit compared to this, Bastille makes it a completely new song, with actual fluidity and organisation to the song. The only kudos I'm giving to City High is the lyrics.
