I know what you go through From me to you, I love you
From the nigga to the baller, never satisfied So the money got you doing shit that'll fuck up your pride You ain't a hoe, you just really trying to get by Every day looking up at the sky Sometimes, shit get so hard It really have you bothered First you sigh, then you cry Up a whole puddle of water Seem like this shit won't ever end Merry go rounds to the whirlwinds Waves turn to a hurricane If you see joy, you got to see pain Shit in the world ain't gonna ever change Even when you die, it'll be the same Now you due to them circumstances Jars aren't counted so your forced to dance Hoping and praying for a second chance Just wanna put back on your pants Walk out the club and throw up your hands Tired of being disrespected by her man Think this shit ain't right for you Niggaz been yellin all night for you Got in your mind what's best for you Walk up to the club to tell them your through
[Chorus: Adam Levine] She's stuck off in this little room With nothing left to hold onto Her life is in a little box She's wondering will it ever stop? The life of a stripper
[Hook: Girl] I'm so sick and I'm so tired Of these clubs, I keep crying Every night, 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
[D-Roc] From the part where a child is torn from a mothers umbilical cord No one really enforces that lifes gonna be hard Which is kinda left up to the teachers And the teachers leave it up to the preachers the preachers ain't fillin' up the bleachers It's the rappers Sad, ain't it
[Kane] It was this girl named Star, pretty fine little woman Going to college, taking 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 (you dead wrong) She gotta pay the bills but in the meantime She like "fuck how she feel" living is real So she back in the club again Taking off her clothes again Going to school, going to work, getting tiring Lack of sleep but baby gotta eat and these shoes on her feet She got a test next week so she stressed Ask god to give her a blessing, send her in the right direction Her parents died when she was eight years old And after that, she felt like she was all alone But she got her grandparents and they raised her well Keep going to school, take care of yourself Getting hard, going to school and work in the club And at the same time looking for love She can't keep skipping for an occupation In a minute, she'll be graduating Make her wanna throw up her hands Now she only wanna live again
