lyrics

Somebody come & save this girl.
Mixed up shawty in a cold ass world.
Mom & Daddy gone
And it don't look so good.

Don't nobody ever treat her right.
Put her down night after night.
She needs a way
Out of the neighborhood.

But she got no hips,
No style, no chips
and a young child.
No chance in the big fight.
Tell me Trudy...
What are you gonna do with your life?

Trudy you're gonna fly high!
And I put that on everything.
Trudy you got everything
You need to get by.

Her body was a way to bring a decent wage.
Even with a baby boy at such a young age.
So she worked a gold pole
Dancin' at the club.

Her friends watched her son as the nights got longer.
Years went by and ol' Trudy got stronger.
But it still wasn't enough...

She had no hips,
No style, no chips
and a young child.
No chance in the big fight.
Tell me Trudy...
What are you gonna do with your life?

Trudy you're gonna shine bright!
And I put that on everything.
Trudy you got everything
You need to get by.

Somebody knew somebody that could get Trudy a lead.
To help the girl get everything she'd ever need.
So she walked with her son to the other side of town.

With an address in her hand to the city's biggest buildin'.
She got a job watchin' after orphaned children.
First time in her life someone ain't let her down.

So what she's got no hips?
She's got her own style.
Now she's got chips
And a smilin' child.
She finally won, the big fight.
So tell 'em Trudy...
Just what you did with your life.

Trudy you're doin' just fine!
And I put it on everything.
Trudy you got everything
You need to get by.
