Doing what she has to do to succeed
  Always been a different breed
  If life offers a pole, dance
  Is what she believed
  Doing what she had to do to make ends meet
  Fell in love with the fast money
  Now she can’t leave
  She slides the pole
  Slow r&b playing
  The bands made her dance
  Luscious skin, soft brown eyes
  But she suffered from low self esteem
  The men made her feel beautiful
  She had been mentally abused
  Now she’s forever bruised
