Lyrics
Find another songProvider - N.E.R.D.
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 a** out
I went to see what my friend was talking about
Drugs
He told me cocaine would get you clout
My mamma said he's trouble and schools my route
But I went to high school and got kicked out
So I'm driving 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 rider 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 coming where I'm from
I'm a provider girl
And I love you
So it's just like I said before
Heading down 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 rider 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
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 looking at a mother****er just like me
I'm a provider girl
I said don't tell me you don't know what you see
When you're looking at a mother****er just like me
I'm a rider 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 rider girl gotta face the streets tonight
I love you girl
I'm doing this for us
I don't know any better
What am I supposed to do
Nothing I love you
