Coolio
What Cha Gonna Do
What you gonna do?

[Verse 1]
What you gonna do when you lost your job?
What you gonna do when you just got robbed?
What you gonna do when your rent is due
Your money is gone and your woman is too
What you gonna do when they repossess your car
'Cause your money just did not stretch that far
Light bill, gas bill, water bill too
Your children even ask you what you gonna do
You send one to your aunt’s house and one to your mom
You find a new job, you play the role of a Tom
The cheap dope slanger, life rearranger
Selling people drugs to put gold on your finger
We know better 'cause you are chеaper
With your fake fur coat and your thirty-dollar beeper
What you gonna do? Ha ha ha ha
What you gonna do? Ha ha ha ha

[Verse 2]
What you gonna do with nowhеre to live
And your pregnancy test reads positive
Some women get county checks, food stamps too
To care for their kids but they won't do
The things that they are supposed to do
What you gonna do when you’re at home
Basing cocaine 'cause your man is gone
Your baby is crying, your body's slowly dying
The world don't know how hard you're trying
You're only eighteen, living in a dream
Thinking you can learn life from a magazine
Life is pressure, you're going insane
So you take yourself out with a bullet to the brain
What you gonna do? Ha ha ha ha
What you gonna do? Ha ha ha ha
[Verse 3]
What you gonna do when you need some cash
And you try to take another man's stash
What you gonna do if you do the crime?
What you gonna do when you can’t do the time?
What you gonna do if you get caught
Stealing some stuff you could have bought
What you gonna do if you land in jail
And ain’t got money to make your bail
You know you start to shiver, you start to sweat
But the procedure that you know hasn't started yet
They take you in a room, strip you down
Push, prod, pull and shove you around
What you gonna do when your heart is full of fear
’Cause the guy in the cell with you stuck it up your rear
Say "Oh my God, I'm not queer
Somebody please get me outta here!"
What you gonna do? Ha ha ha ha
What you gonna do? Ha ha ha ha

[Verse 4]
What you gonna do when it's my turn
To do what I do best for the money I earn
What you gonna do when I take you home
Serenade your baby with my microphone
What you gonna do when I throw you up on your back
Do you real good, don't give no slack
What you gonna do when I make you tremble
It’s me, Spoony C, Sound Master sex symbol
What you gonna do? Ha ha ha ha
What you gonna do? Ha ha ha ha
[Verse 5]
What you gonna do when I'm on the mic
To make you remember me for the rest of your life
What you gonna do when you see me at a show
The next day you hear me on the radio
What you gonna do when it's time to leave
I still have a few tricks up my sleeve
Coolio on the mic, yes it's true
The genius of the Sound Master Crew
What you gonna do? Ha ha ha ha
What you gonna do? Ha ha ha ha

[Verse 6]
What you gonna do when Billy is on the beat
Blowing your mind with a special treat
He can mix so sweet and scratch so fast
That sucker DJs just can't last
Sucker MCs, you better freeze
'Cause we will rock you to your knees
With the help of Magic Man, Billy Boy and Supreme
Together like a emulator music machine
What you gonna do? Ha ha ha ha
What you gonna do? Ha ha ha ha
What you gonna do when the party is through
The music is gone and we are too?
