Woke up
I had the same clothes on
I had on last night
I must have passed out
And cash is just like
the clothes I wore
yesterday.
We are broke
I gotta get my ass out
I went to see
what my friend was
talkin' about
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 drivin' 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
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 provider, 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 comin' where
I'm from
I'm a provider girl
And I love you
So it's just like I said
before. Headin' down
that 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
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 provider, girl
Gotta face the streets
tonight
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
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 lookin' 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 lookin' at a
motherfucker just like me
I'm a provider girl
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 provider, girl.
Gotta face the streets
tonight
I love you girl.
I'm doin' this for us.
I don't know any better.
What am I supposed to do?
Nothing, I love you.
