Would’ve Done The Same For Me

Naughty By Nature, Koffee Brown

Nineteen Naughty Nine Nature's Fury, 1999, English

Lyrics

Pick up to six lines to make a card.

We in a time, where many doors are too hard to enter in
And many people really ain't worth the mentionin'
Thugs need hugs and plus a little gentle friend
Or the mentals if I wile I get attention in
Through my drama from court to case
While others turned they back on me I turned my hate to faith
That's why I'm here boo-boo's, any place or date
If there's tears in my eyes y'all come to dry my face
Now that's deep, y'all turned from my fans to my friends
After the past I didn't think that I could stand it again
On the streets me and many wonder shall I kill
I do for all, when will someone ask me how I feel
Ladies, if you're down and my flick's on your wall
Just bop in the song and I won't let you fall
To all my ladies got your letters and I love you to death
Now I appreciate the breath that the dear Lord left
Why do I stand for my fam and put it down for my peeps?
Cause they woulda done the same for me
Why do I see my women fallin' down and put 'em back on they feet?
Cause they woulda done the same for me
Why do I put it down for the streets and my R.I.P.'s?
Cause they woulda done the same for me
Why do I embrace the face that sets the mind free?
Cause they woulda done the same for me
We the kindest of people and most don't even know
Cause this wilderness wasn't designed to see us grow
My thugs through the years who've always been true
Just know I take the bullet for you
Life ain't livin' without givin', worth fryin' for lyin'
Ain't jack for free but I'm supplyin' if you're tryin'
Had friends before the Benz, respect before Rolexes
Mama's gave us life but brothers have to protect us
Some wonder why I still got love
Why I still live in the hood and why I still share grub
Why I play with the kids, lose money on clubs
To keep my people off the streets and away from the slugs
Sometimes rats run traps while our sisters get named
Sometimes bitches do things and our queens get blamed
But I'm puttin' things on blast for my women and G's
Cause you woulda done the same for me
Where's my ladies who support and who understand when
Yeah I'm tired but I still gotta visit the pen
I appreciate you love the love I show them
Woulda want the same thing if I had to go in
Lost the love of my life over stress and strife
If I couldn't care for me I couldn't care for a wife
So I looked at the Lord and what he said was right
It's obstacles but everything is gonna be alright
If you feelin' what I'm feelin' lay back and give me love
So when you see me on the streets or clubs give me hug
To understand unity you have to understand we
You in I, you in them, them in me, see
Y'all did for me now I bow for the royalty
Just to know y'all is the love, the loyalty
Behind every strong man there's a strong lady wit him
Behind me, I seem to have a whole nation of women
