Hey, 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      So, I went to see what my friend   Was talkin' about, drugs   He told me cocaine would get you clout      My momma said   He's trouble and school's my route   But I went to high school   And got kicked out      So I'm drivin' this truck down 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, I gotta go   Please don't weep, I love you, don't cry   I refuse to be a bum   Especially comin' 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 lookin' at a motherfucker just like me   I'm a provider, girl      I said don't tell me   You don't know what you see   When you're lookin' at a motherfucker 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?   Nothin', I love you
