Song lyrics Provider by 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 heīs trouble and schools my route
But I went to high school and got kicked out
So Iīm driving this truck down the 95
I pray to God I make it home alive
I donīt 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 donīt see my face no more
Iīm a provider girl, gotta face the streets tonight

Goodbye beloved one
Do you know what I am
You donīt see my face no more
Iīm a rider, girl gotta face the streets tonight
You say you donīt want me to go but I have to
Please donīt weep
I love you

I refuse to be a bum
Especially coming where Iīm from
Iīm a provider girl
And I love you

So itīs just like I said before
Heading down 95
Dodging Johnny law
I donīt 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
Itīs just like this road I donīt know where Iīm at
I donīt want to be another cocaine story
Will I find my sanity
Where I find my glory
Come on

[Repeat Chorus]

Someday, Someday, this will be over
Weīll raise a family
Iīll get a job and Iīll be a voter
And if I die
It will change you
Change you
I watch over a family
But only as an angel

So donīt tell me you donīt know what you see
When youīre looking at a motherfucker just like me
Iīm a provider girl
I said donīt tell me you donīt know what you see
When youīre looking at a motherfucker just like me
Iīm a rider girl

[Repeat Chorus]

I love you girl
Iīm doing this for us
I donīt know any better
What am I supposed to do
Nothing I love you
