"Lady On My Block" lyrics

There's a little lad on my block
Guess she's about 35
Has about 7 kids ain't never been married
Hasn't done anything with her life
Every time I walk by she asks me
If I can spare some change
So she can run to the neighbourhood Butch' and grab a little some'
To help her make it through the day
She looks like back in her day, she was oh so very pretty
Probably the talk of the school, her man played ball
She was probably even prom queen
If you know what I mean
How did she go from havin' everything to havin' nothing at all?
Too many kids and strung-out on drugs
She don't have nobody she can call

There's a little lady on my block
There's a little lady on my block
There's a little lady on my block
There's a little lady on my block
There's a little lady on my block

There's a little lady on my block
She doesn't even have a job
But I guess if you call sellin' yourself earnin' a living
She's making it pretty fine
Her pimp don't care if she has kids
And most of the time she don't eat
She's spendin' her rent trying to get vent
Shit little lady keep this baby out the street
Oh
She's so tired of living this way
So one day she has a plan
Got her hands on a gun, I don't know how
And decided to take a stand
Oh
She goes two weeks without payin' her pimp
So he comes over and breaks her down
I hear two shots... and a baby scream
He never made it out

['Til fade:]
There's a little lady on my block
There's a little lady on my block
There's a little lady on my block
There's a little lady on my block
There's a little lady on my block
