This ain't the story about every stripper I know, but it seems to be the story about most of them though
You show a little titty and you make a lot of dough
But you and I know that when you make a lot of money you want to make mo and mo and mo
So off to work she goes the visual hoe, put her hopes and dreams and education on hold
She used to only drink coolers now she smokes weed and sniffs blow
and the hoe's out of control driving blind down a road that she don't even know
Fresh out of high school, preparing for her life
Go to school and get married, make someone a good wife
That would be cool, but right now she's young and nubile
Good times are plenty, party's are wild and nice things are bought with a skirt and a smile
But that smile only goes so far, sometimes you gotta buy your own car
And you can have clothes and an apartment, eat out every meal
But in the end you gonna get stuck with that bill
So it's up to you young lady to figure out how you gonna play the cards you deal
Yeah, every girl has that friend, the one who turned her on to the life
You know the girl that's 18 but been dancing 3 years of her life
Come on down to the Tropicana too, they gonna love you, follow me boo and I'll show you just what to do
Getting that job was easy right, just step on the stage and forget about the lights
Forget about the smoke, forget about the dope,
Forget about the men out there who think your life's a joke
They don't even wanna see you dance they just wanna get inside your pants
Cause you a stripper, you make your money by living a lie
You a stripper, none of the men out there respect you and why
Cause you a stripper, you not the kind of girl they would make their wife
But you a stripper, and that's the way you gonna get treated in life
Now degrading herself wasn't an easy job
So some of the girls showed her how to ease her pain with a tequila shot
And that led to Tom Collins, which led to Long Islands that became more tequila shots,
That became bottles of gin downed straight with no rocks
But liquor makes you stumble and stagger across the floor, while weed eases the stress you seem to accumulate, it keeps your body straight
But that powder had her in a euphoric state, so every night before she dances she paints her face on with some cake
Aah, that's what she needed, now the hands between her cheeks and her thighs don't' get her so heated
It's part of the job she keeps telling herself, I can't stand myself what am I on?
So she upped the ante by trying "heron"
Yeah, the white girls call it heroine, but ain't nothing heroic about it
It'll have you down in your shit, but you can't live without
You try to give it up, but longer you off the more excited you get about it
You're not only a Stripper you're an Addict think about it
She's a Stripper and an Addict, she's in denial again
A Stripper and an Addict, the drugs are her only true friend
A Stripper and an Addict, she's in that tunnel again
A Stripper and an Addict, how will all of this end?
Even though she works every night, her money still gets tight
Sometimes her house don't even have any lights
Her rents overdue and all of her bills are late, but after work she's still going to get her head straight cause she can't take this world that she made
And people are quick to take advantage of the situation you in
Sometimes the people are friends, like the one she confided in
Work with them, but never have as much as them and didn't understand that they had a way to get more of the ends
Yeah I can hook you up, I'll show you what do, popped in a tape for her to observe
It's not that bad, well, maybe at first, but you get used to it
It's just a job and besides you make a lot more cash than shaking your ass for 10 spots
Her first day on the set became the worst day of her life
After the director said cut she just laid there and cried
Who am I? What's my name? Where's my life?
And for the first time in a long time she felt paralyzed when she finally realized
She's a Stripper, Addict, Hooker, that's what she's become
A Stripper Addict Hooker, She's living too fast and she's gonna die too young
A Stripper Addict Hooker, Stripper Addict Hooker, is your life still fun?
Stripper Addict Hooker, she looks 37 but she's only 21, Stipper Addict Hooker
