N.E.R.D.

Woke up i had the same clothes on i had on last night
damn
i must have passed out
and cash is just like the clothes i worn yesterday
we are broke
damn
i gotta get my ass out
i went to see what my friend was talking about
drugs
he told me cocaine would get you clout
my momma said he's trouble and schools my route
but i went to high school and got kicked out
so i'm driving this truck down the 95
i pray to god i make it home alive
i don't get pulled over by the man
i just want to make it home to hold your hand
Chorus
Goodbye beloved one
do you know what i am
if you don't see my face no more
i'm a provider girl, gotta face the streets tonight
Goodbye beloved one
do you know what i am
you don't see my face no more
i'm a rider, girl gotta face the streets tonight
you say you don't want me to go but i have to
please don't weep
i love you
I refuse to be a bum
especially coming where i'm from
i'm a provider girl
and i love you
so it's just like i said before
heading down 95
dodging johnny law
i don't need a ticket though i never got one
if he pulls me over
he can feel my shotgun
i think about life pull down my hat
it's just like this road i don't know where i'm at
i don't want to be another cocaine story
will i find my sanity
where i find my glory
come on
Repeat chorus
Someday, someday, this will be over
we'll raise a family
i'll get a job and i'll be a voter
and if i die
it will change you
change you
i watch over a family
but only as an angel
So don't tell me you don't know what you see
when you're looking at a motherfucker just like me
i'm a provider girl
i said don't tell me you don't know what you see
when you're looking at a motherfucker just like me
i'm a rider girl
Repeat chorus
I love you girl
i'm doing this for us
i don't know any better
what am i supposed to do
nothing i love you
