[Verse 1: Guru]
These distraught thoughts of a single mother in a homeless shelter
About pain and heartache, ain't nothing you can tell her
The case worker says that she should find a job
But does this worker know what kind of jobs that there are?
Degrading things like cleaning up people's vomit
For a little bit of dough, and plus your brain gets nothing from it
I'm smarter than that this girl thinks to herself
I'm worth more than that, she thinks to herself
She pours a drink for herself while she stares out the window
This guy says he got work for her, maybe she should go to him yo
The money's good, and plus he'll dress her up nice
She left her baby's daddy cuz he beat her up twice
She don't really like sex
But she hates welfare checks
And where there's money, that's where she thinks there's respect
And what's this girl's purpose? Will she self-destruct?
When this sisters about to go down, who's there to help her up?
[Chorus - Les Nubians]
Qui prendra soin de moi, quand dans mon coeur il fait trop froid
Quand dans la nuit je traîne ma peine;
Dans l'indifférence générale, je taille ma route
Qui prendra soin de moi, quand je serai au plus bas
Qui me dira lève la tête
Tu vaux mieux que ça. Who’s there? Who’s there ?
