N*E*R*D*: Provider

Woke up I had the same clothes on I had on last night
Damn
I must have passed out
Wake up baby
And cash is just like the clothes I worn yesterday
We are broke
Damn
I gotta get my ass out
So
I went to see what my friend was talking about
Drugs
He told me cocaine would get you clout
My momma said hes trouble and schools my route
But I went to high school and got kicked out
Yeah
So Im driving this truck down the 95
I pray to God I make it home alive
Yeah
I dont 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 dont see my face no more
Im a provider girl, gotta face the streets tonight
Goodbye beloved one
Do you know what I am
If you dont see my face no more
Im a rider, girl gotta face the streets tonight
You say you dont want me to go but I have to
I gotta go
Please dont weep
I love you
Dont cry
I refuse to be a bum
Nah
Especially coming where Im from
Im a provider girl
And I love you
Hey
So its just like I said before
Heading down 95
Dodging Johnny law
I dont 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
Its just like this road I dont know where Im at
Where am I
I dont want to be another cocaine story
Will I find my sanity
Where I find my glory
Come on
Chorus
Goodbye beloved one
Do you know what I am
If you dont see my face no more
Im a provider girl, gotta face the streets tonight
Goodbye beloved one
Do you know what I am
If you dont see my face no more
Im a rider girl, gotta face the streets tonight
Someday, Someday, this will be over
Well raise a family
Ill get a job and Ill be a voter
And if I die
It will change you
Change you
I watch over a family
But only as an angel
So dont tell me you dont know what you see
When youre looking at a mothafucker just like me
Im a provider girl
I love you
I said dont tell me you dont know what you see
When youre looking at a motherfucker just like me
Im a rider girl
Chorus
Goodbye beloved one
Do you know what I am
If you dont see my face no more
Im a provider girl, gotta face the streets tonight
Goodbye beloved one
Do you know what I am
If you dont see my face no more
Im a rider girl, gotta face the streets tonight
Someday
I love you girl
Im doing this for us
I dont know any better
What am I supposed to do
Nothing I love you
