Provider

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
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 don´t get pulled over by the man
I just want to make it home to hold your hand
