HELP ME identify a song!

There was a hit two or three years ago and I forgot who sang it and what was it called. I remember it was a kinda "funky-pop" song and the video took place on a roof or somewhere where there was something painted on the walls and there would be doors that they´d walk through. People were dancing dressed in green, I think.
I think that there might be "ABC" in the name of either the band or the song.
Does anyone have any idea what song - this nonsence that Í wrote - is?

Yeah. Here's their song: "What would you do if your son was at home/cryin' all alone on the bedroom floor/and he's hungry/and the only way to feed him is to/sleep with a man for a little bit of money/and his daddy's gone/somewhere smokin' rock now/in and out of lockdown/I ain't got a job now/so for you this is just a good time/but for me, this is what I call life/mm-hmm."

This is just the chorus. I have only ever heard this song maybe five times, but they repeat it a million times.

Damn, I ´ve also heard the song only few times, so I don´t know the lyrics but it was a huge hit. I´ll try to download it when I get home (which will be friday earliest) and we´ll see if it´s the one.

Chances are, you'd remember that chorus if that was your song. The singers are on a rooftop in the video, and some party. Plus strippers. I forget the name of the song, but it should be their only hit.

Maybe you´re right, but I loved the horns in this songs and I was always paying attention to them instead of singing....But the video you´ve discribed seems to fit the song that I mean....
