Yelawolf - Do for Love

Copied!

{Verse 1}
Daddy is up five AM again, it's a repeated scene
He's been at since ten
Nine to five hours dont pay enough money
He took a third-shift and he's just gettin' in
Babies are hungry and mommy is bitchin'
'Bout bills that he need to go pay while he sittin'
Not even five minutes to drink a cold beer before hearing about what was left in the kitchen
Walk out the door for a walk to the store, bread was five dollars he only had four
Won't get a check til' the first of next week and he said to himself I can't take anymore
With no heat in the house and no gas in the truck, and his four-year-old's birthday about to come up
It's gun, mask, duct-tape, gloves, now

{Hook}
What would you do for love? (ooooo)
What would you do for love?
What would you do for love? (ooooo)
What would you do for love?
What would you do for love? (ooooo)

{Verse 2}
She's a single mother livin' in a hotel in the south side of the city
And she works at a bar in the strip to get tips savin' up for a place that is pretty
A twelve-year-old son to support, still in school with a father that's never around
He took her virginity, promised infinity
Then he took off and he hasn't been found
Most of the people she already knows
Have trouble survivin' and keepin' a home
That side of town ain't the place to raise a child
But she's doing her best and there's no where to go
Puts on a skirt, picks up her purse
He knows just what she does
His mama can't work at the bar every night
So his mama is hustlin' and sellin' drugs

{Hook}
What would you do for love? (ooooo)
What would you do for love?
What would you do for love? (ooooo)
What would you do for love?
What would you do for love? (ooooo)

(Woohoo, woohoo)
(Woohoo, woohoo)

{Outro Hook}
What would you do for love? (ooooo)
What would you do for love?
What would you do for love? (ooooo)
What would you do for love?
What would you do for love? (ooooo)
What would you do for love?
What would you do for love? (ooooo)
What would you do for love?
What would you do for love? (ooooo)
What would you do for love?

edit bio

Michael Wayne Atha (b. December 30, 1979), better known by his stage name Yelawolf, is a rapper from Gadsden, Alabama. He was in the 2011 XXL Freshmen Class, and is currently signed to Shady Records and Ghet-O-Vision Records.

Yelawolf first got started back in 2005, when he released his first album, Creekwater. In 2007, he got signed to Columbia and released his first single “Kickin'”. He went to Ghet-O-Vision Entertainment and released an EP and four mixtapes. The last mixtape he released, Trunk Muzik finally got the attention it deserved at the beginning of 2010. He signed with Interscope shorty later and released a retail version, Trunk Muzik 0-60.

A short while later, he met with Eminem, which eventually led to Em signing Yelawolf, forming Shady 2.0 (with Slaughterhouse).

Finally, he released his debut album, Radioactive in November of 2011. He significantly changed his style to gain more mainstream appeal for the album. But after disappointing sales, Yela recently decided to switch back to his old style, with Trunk Muzik Returns, as well a collaborative EP with Travis Barker, called Psycho White.

His second studio album, Love Story dropped in 2015 with the singles “Box Chevy V”, the alternative/country/rap hit “Till It’s Gone”, “Whiskey in a Bottle”, “American You”, and finally a highly anticipated Eminem collaboration, “Best Friend”.
