brother arthur - what you gonna do lyrics

[intro]
yeah man
they got plans for us
helicopters, tanks, riot gear
dogs and the whole nine
so the question to the community in the 90s is
what you gonna do?

[verse 1]
just because i’m down with the foi
that don’t mean i won’t be a brother until the day i die
i was born black just like you
caught up in the cycle
just like they did to my man michael
jackson, tyson and jordan
it goes to show it don’t matter if you important
see they be distortin’
because we ain’t nothin’ in their eyes
and we can’t rise until we got organized
so realize, the situation is at hand
for us to take a stand and fight the plan
they want to give us funds if we turn in our guns
but they’re the same ones that plan to slaughter us by the tons
so whatcha gonna do since ya know now
you better listen to the brother with the know-how
i gotta go now, but when i get back
i’ma give ya what you’re lack and that’s a fact

[chorus]
what you gonna do?
what you gonna do?
what you gonna do?
whatcha-whatcha gonna do?

what you gonna do?
what you gonna do?
what you gonna do?
whatcha-whatcha gonna do?

[verse 2]
just because i keep my head bald
and sell the final call
that don’t mean i’m not down with y’all
the very same snake that bit you, bit me to
i find it true, this is something i always knew
we gotta change our ways and actions
how we show dissatisfaction, be building up factions
we can’t afford for our ranks to decrease (why!)
because i hear the sound of the beast
coming, with the intent to do harm
sound the alarm that everybody gotta remain calm
cause if we flinch an inch
it’s a cinch, he’s gonna give the trigger a pinch
and that’ll set it off
the way you’ll see the brothers bustin’ you’ll think it was july the 4th
so don’t even try it
my people are tired
and you don’t wanna see another riot

[chorus]
what you gonna do?
what you gonna do?
what you gonna do?
whatcha-whatcha gonna do?

what you gonna do?
what you gonna do?
what you gonna do?
whatcha-whatcha gonna do?

[verse 3]
just because the name of my god is allah
don’t mean i won’t be there if you need me baby [?]
we’re in the same boat with the same float
so we can’t afford to be at each other’s throat
no uncle tom’n, see the enemy we both got is in common
and that’s who i’m bombin’
whatever’s clever
ain’t nothin’ changed but the weather
all i wanna do is see my people come together
that’s all i been thinkin’ of
some say i teach hate
but what i teach is black-on-black love
so is it a crime?
if i drop a dime and a rhyme about the man that’s keepin’ us behind
call it paranoid but i’m not
i’m blowin’ up the spot
because i know what the devil got
so what you gonna do?
are you gonna be ready when he comes gunnin’ for you?

[chorus]
what you gonna do?
what you gonna do?
what you gonna do?
whatcha-whatcha gonna do?

what you gonna do?
what you gonna do?
what you gonna do?
whatcha-whatcha gonna do?

[outro]
what you gonna do?
what you gonna do?
what you gonna do?
whatcha-whatcha gonna do?

what you gonna do?
what you gonna do?
what you gonna do?
whatcha-whatcha gonna do?

black people unite
black people unite
black people unite
black people unite
black people unite
black people unite
black people unite
black people unite
