20 Dollars Lyrics by Angie Stone

Mahogany Soul

2001

[Intro]
Said it's a sho' fire testimoney
Check it, whoa, rap on the do'
[Verse 1]
Whatcha know about being po'
Whatcha know about borrowing
From the neighbor next door
Whatcha know about bumming rides
Whatcha know about having to swallow your pride
[Pre-Chorus]
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 talking about
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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 pay me back the ten-spot
From three weeks ago, no
[Pre-Chorus]
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 stareing in my face talking about
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 3]
Tell me what have you done for me?
Besides being too busy, busy, busy
Stressin' me constantly
Now I, now I, now I
I can see where your head is at
See I only got 20 dollars
And you still want half of that
[Chorus]
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
[Outro]
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
