Provider Lyrics - In Search Of - 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 ass out 

I went to see what my friend was talking about 

Drugs 

He told me cocaine would get you clout 

My momma 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 

[Chorus:] 

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 ninety five 

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 

[Chorus:] 

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 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 looking at a motherfucker just like me 

I'm a rider girl 

[Chorus:] 

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
