20 Dollars

by Angie Stone

[Intro]
Said it's a sho' fire testimony
Check it, whoa, rap on the do'

Whatcha know about being po'
Whatcha know about borrowin'
From the neighbor next door
Whatcha know about bummin' rides
Whatcha know about havin', ta swallow yo' pride

What do you do when you're through
When you're always helping people and
Nobody's there for you, come on now
What can I do or say
When you constantly standing in my face
Talkin' about

1 - Can you loan me 20 dollars
'Till I get my check next week
Said I only got 20 dollars
And me and my baby got to eat

Can you loan me 20 dollars
'Till I get my check next week
Said I only got 20 dollars
And me and my baby got to eat

Now I'm suppose to take from the child, oh Lord
Make it harder on me just to make it worth your
while
Now honey, I don't think so
Cuz you ain't paid me back the ten-spot
From three weeks ago, uh ho ho, no

What do you do when you're through
When you're always helping people and
Nobody's there for you (Tell me)
What can I do or say
When you constantly staring in my face
Talkin' about

Repeat 2

Tell me
What have you done for me
Besides bein' too busy, busy, busy
Stressin' me constantly
Oh Oh Woah yeah, Now I, now I, now I
I can see where your head is at
Ahaa, See I only got 20 dollars
And you still want half of that
Woah oh WOAH Woo hoo ooo Yeah!


Can you loan me 20 dollars
'Till I get my check next week
Said I only got 20 dollars
And me and my baby got to eat

Can you loan me 20 dollars
'Till I get my check next week
(WHAT check you gon' get next week?)
Said I only got 20 dollars
And me and my baby got to eat
(I don't remember you havin' a job lately)

Can you loan me 20 dollars
'Till I get my check next week
(Gerald told me the other day you see)
Said I only got 20 dollars
And me and my baby got to eat
(You borrowed 10 from him and 2 from Sue
and I said ";I ain't GOT no money";)
Can you loan me 20 dollars
(I work too hard for mines)
'Till I get my check next week
(Baby!...
Said I only got 20 dollars
I suggest you... get it together)
And me and my baby got to eat
