N.E.R.D. - Provider Lyrics
Woke up I had the same clothes on I had on last nightDamnI must have passed outAnd cash is just like the clothes I worn yesterdayWe are brokeDamnI gotta get my ass outI went to see what my friend was talking aboutDrugsHe told me cocaine would get you cloutMy momma said hes trouble and schools my routeBut I went to high school and got kicked outSo Im driving this truck down the 95I pray to God I make it home aliveI dont get pulled over by the manI just want to make it home to hold your hand[chorus]Goodbye beloved oneDo you know what I amIf you dont see my face no moreIm a provider girl, gotta face the streets tonightGoodbye beloved oneDo you know what I amYou dont see my face no moreIm a rider, girl gotta face the streets tonightYou say you dont want me to go but I have toPlease dont weepI love youI refuse to be a bumEspecially coming where Im fromIm a provider girlAnd I love youSo its just like I said beforeHeading down 95Dodging johnny lawI dont need a ticket though I never got oneIf he pulls me overHe can feel my shotgunI think about life pull down my hatIts just like this road I dont know where Im atI dont want to be another cocaine storyWill I find my sanityWhere I find my gloryCome on[repeat chorus]Someday, someday, this will be overWell raise a familyIll get a job and Ill be a voterAnd if I dieIt will change youChange youI watch over a familyBut only as an angelSo dont tell me you dont know what you seeWhen youre looking at a mother*****er just like meIm a provider girlI said dont tell me you dont know what you seeWhen youre looking at a mother*****er just like meIm a rider girl[repeat chorus]I love you girlIm doing this for usI dont know any betterWhat am I supposed to doNothing I love you
