See there's this lady that lives on the street (on the street, yeah) She has no job, no home, no family (family) And she barely has the chance to even eat (Oh, oh, oh) So she begs and steals and sells her body (her body)
Sometimes she may come off a little strong But she's just on her own But if it was you (if it was you) What would you do? (what would you do?) If you didn't have a home (oh, yeah)
[Chorus]
If you didn't have a pot to piss in, Didn't have a kitchen Imagine if you was homeless Didn't have a job, no car, no friends Imagine if you was homeless Sometimes you should just look at your life And imagine if it was you (imagine if it was you) Just imagine if it was you 'Cause one day, yes you could be homeless
There's a man, on the street He got holes in his shoes, on his feet We be in the club spending doe Then we'd come outside and tell him no All he need is a couple bucks He's got a little change but it's not enough So we turn our backs and laugh Or we stop in our tracks And turn the other way, 'cause we got it made
Sometimes he make 'em off (sometimes he make 'em off) Just a little strong (just a little strong) But he's on his own But what about you (but what about you) What would you do? (what would you do?) If you didn't have a home
If you didn't have a pot to piss in Didn't have a kitchen (Hey!) Imagine if you was homeless Didn't have a job, no car, no friends (Oh!) Imagine if you was homeless Sometimes you should just look at your life (look at your life) And imagine if it was you (imagine if it was you) Just imagine if it was you 'Cause one day, yes you could be homeless
[Breakdown]
A new day when I open my eyes Got a black president but there's people outside I know you've seen 'em and we all done passed 'em Some people seen some shit last night Still got 'em laughin' But it's not funny, it's all about money And I bet you won't go put on them shoes It's crazy because we're out clubbin', ain't worried 'bout nothing But imagine if that person was you, imagine if it was you...
