Provider | TOP


Woke up I had the same clothes on I had on last night
Damn
I must have passed out
And cash is just like the clothes I worn yesterday
We are broke
Damn
I gotta get my ass out
I went to see what my friend was talking about
Drugs
He told me cocaine would get you clout
My momma said heââ?¬â?¢s trouble and schools my route
But I went to high school and got kicked out
So Iââ?¬â?¢m driving this truck down the 95
I pray to God I make it home alive
I donââ?¬â?¢t 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 donââ?¬â?¢t see my face no more
Iââ?¬â?¢m a provider girl, gotta face the streets tonight

Goodbye beloved one
Do you know what I am
You donââ?¬â?¢t see my face no more
Iââ?¬â?¢m a rider, girl gotta face the streets tonight
You say you donââ?¬â?¢t want me to go but I have to
Please donââ?¬â?¢t weep
I love you

I refuse to be a bum
Especially coming where Iââ?¬â?¢m from
Iââ?¬â?¢m a provider girl
And I love you
So itââ?¬â?¢s just like I said before
Heading down 95
Dodging Johnny law
I donââ?¬â?¢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
Itââ?¬â?¢s just like this road I donââ?¬â?¢t know where Iââ?¬â?¢m at
I donââ?¬â?¢t want to be another cocaine story
Will I find my sanity
Where I find my glory
Come on

Repeat Chorus

Someday, Someday, this will be over
Weââ?¬â?¢ll raise a family
Iââ?¬â?¢ll get a job and Iââ?¬â?¢ll be a voter
And if I die
It will change you
Change you
I watch over a family
But only as an angel

So donââ?¬â?¢t tell me you donââ?¬â?¢t know what you see
When youââ?¬â?¢re looking at a motherfucker just like me
Iââ?¬â?¢m a provider girl
I said donââ?¬â?¢t tell me you donââ?¬â?¢t know what you see
When youââ?¬â?¢re looking at a motherfucker just like me
Iââ?¬â?¢m a rider girl

Repeat Chorus

I love you girl
Iââ?¬â?¢m doing this for us
I donââ?¬â?¢t know any better
What am I supposed to do
Nothing I love you
