[Ying Yang Twins Talking]   I know what you go through   from me to you, I love you      [Ying Yang Twins Rap]   From the network to the bar never satisfied   Somebody gotcha doin shit to fuck up your pride   You ain't a hoe, you just trying to get by   everyday lookin up at the sky   Sometimes shit gets so hard   it really have you bothered   first you sigh   then you cry   up a whole bottle of water   seem like this shit wont ever end   merry-go-rounds turn to whirlwinds   waves turn to a hurricane   if you see joy you got to see pain   Shit in the world ain't ever gonna change   even when you die it'll be the same   now you the victim of circumstance   charles ain't callin so you forced to dance   Up in there prayin for a second change   just wanna put back on your pants   walk out the club and throw up your hands   tired of being disrespected by a man   say this shit ain't right for you   nigga's been yellin all night for you   got you in the mind whats best for you   walk up to the club gonna tell 'em you through      [Levine]      She stuck off in this little room   With nothing left to hold onto   Her life is in a little box   She's wonderin will it ever stop   The life of a stripper      [Female voice]      I'm so sick and I'm so tired of these clubs I keep cryin   Everynight I wipe my eyes cause these years pass me by   I give up I'm all in   My whole life is full of sin   This road is a dead end   I wanna live again      [Ying Yang Twins Talking]      From the point when a child is torn from the mothers umbilical cord, no one really inforces that life is gonna be hard. It's kinda left up to the teachers, but the teachers leave it up to the preachers, and the preachers ain't fillin the bleachers, it's the rappers say it ain't.      [Ying Yang Twins Rap]      It was this girl next door   pretty fine little woman   going to college takin off her clothes for money   She gotta pay the rent   she got a little girl   her baby daddy ain't shit   see what she dealin with   But she gotta hold on *hold on*   Wanna leave the club alone but   it feels wrong   She gotta pay the bills   but in the meantime she like fuck how she feels livin is real   so she back in the club again   takin off her clothes again   goin to school, goin to work gettin tirin   lack of sleep   but baby gotta eat need shoes on her feet   she got a test next week so she stressin askin God to give her a blessin send her in the right direction   her parents died when she was 8 years old   after that felt like she was all alone   but she got her grandparents and they raised her well keep going to school   takin care of yourself is getting hard   goin to school and workin the club at the same time lookin for love   She can't be strippin for her occupation   in a minute she be graduatin   make her wanna throw up her hands   cause she only wanna live again      [Levine]      She stuck off in this little room   With nothing left to hold onto   Her life is in a little box   She's wonderin will it ever stop   The life of a stripper      [Female voice]      I'm so sick and I'm so tired of these clubs I keep cryin   Everynight I wipe my eyes cause these years pass me by   I give up I'm all in   My whole life is full of sin   This world is a dead end   I wanna live again      [Levine]      Ooohhh oohh oooh oooh yeah yeah ohhh mmm       Snuck off in this little room   with nothing left to hold onto   her life is in a little box   wonderin if it'll ever stop      ohhh yeahhh the life of a stripper.
