What Ya Gonna Do? Lyrics

[Intro: Tez w/ Tajiee talking in background]
Yo! (Uh huh)
To all them niggas that think they can hang and shit
When they get locked nigga, nawm sayin'?
That shit ain't no joke
That shit is serious, nigga
Can you hang with the bangers and the rollers
When you get locked, nigga?
Whassup nigga? Lemme know...

[Tez]
Whatchu gon' do?
When ya first get there and they got ya heart bumpin'
A bunch of niggas in the yard sufferin'
No you can't run when them motherfuckers start somethin'
Tell me what ya gon' do
Can you sling it from the shoulders? Are you hangin wit the holders?
Tell me what ya in for - can ya maintain the pain
Comin' from the bangers and the rollers?
Was that Glock in ya back or somethin'?
Did ya have to go and kill that bitch?
So ya robbed the Seven Eleven and got caught
Now nigga tell me do ya feel that rich?
Ol' fake-ass nigga, momma got a Benz, daddy got a Lex-O
All ya had to do was go school nigga
Tryna act a fool, better chill with ya sets yo
Nigga tell me now, whatchu gon' do?
Now ya stuck in jail from passin' out Indo
Never chillin with ya kinfolk
Scratchin paper on my life through the poly-glass window
Tell me whatchu gon' do?
When ya got a headache, ain't got no aspirin
Don't even bother askin' him
Better watch out for the nigga tryna get up in ya ass again
Biatch!
[Hook] - x2
Whatchu gon' do - when you ain't given no luck?
(I don't know yo)
Whatchu gon' do - when niggas don't give a fuck?
(I don't know what)
Whatchu gon' do - say yo you better get up
(Alright, alright)
Whatchu gon' do - somebody bouts to get touched
(But not tonight)

[Tajiee]
Whatchu gon' do?
When ya can't haul cats like you did on the block before?
Niggas don't care about you coppin' dough
Niggas couldn't care less about drops and clothes, yo

[Tez]
Whatchu gon' do?
When ya got a phat house and ya used to tips
Versace; it used to fit
Now it's bum pants, you ain't used to this
Fuck nigga

[Tajiee]
Whatchu gon' do?
When them same ol' cats that you once had beef with
Now you gotta eat with? -- If it was up to them
They'd be the same ol' cats you gotta sleep with, yo
[Tez]
Whatchu gon' do
When it ain't no sippin' on that Henn
Gettin' up in the pants
No siblings and no friends?

[Tajiee]
Whatchu gon' do?
When ya girl come through, hollerin' it's over
And she want the kids, house and the Range Rover
Smellin' like liquor, talkin' with a hangover, huh?

[Tez]
Whatchu gon' do?
When ya tired of books, can't stand that beef?
Chillin with a man that's sweet
Now ya girlfriend messin witcha man named Pete, uh

[Hook] - x2
Whatchu gon' do - when you ain't given no luck?
(I don't know yo)
Whatchu gon' do - when niggas don't give a fuck?
(I don't know what)
Whatchu gon' do - say yo you better get up
(Alright, alright)
Whatchu gon' do - somebody bouts to get touched
(But not tonight)
[Taijee]
Whatchu gon' do - when it comes to the end
Sitting in the court with a 5 to a 10, and ya girl in the back cryin'
And ya can't take it back
Tears on your face and your hands in your lap
It's consequence, shaking in your boots no competence
What happened to the cat on the block with the fours
Who'll pop if a nigga show confidence?
Gotta stay locked up, stay boxed up
Stay lifting weights nigga, stay rocked up
Gotta stay with them cats who'll stay oxed up
For ya own good nigga betta stay cocked up
Cuz it's a million more cats that's harder than you
Ten times bigger than you, quicker than you
Who really don't care listen to who
With nothing to live for, wanna stick it to you, huh?

[Hook 2]
Whatchu gon' do - When you can't sleep and you feel outta place?
Whatchu gon' do - When niggas creepin', they won't get out your face?
Whatchu gon' do - With out no heat you just gon' have to say
Whatchu gon' do - And anyday, you might get tooken out anyway
