Dizzee Rascal - Wot U Gonna Do? Lyrics

What you gonna do when your money ain't long?
What you gonna do when your name ain't strong?
What you gonna do when they won't play your records
And you don't get booked 'cause your buzz is all gone?
Sittin' there tryna' write the same old song
Tryin' to work out where it all went wrong
What you gonna do when your fans don't care
'Cause they're all grown up and they all moved on?
What you gonna do when it goes down hill?
Callin' up girls, but they don't wanna' chill
What you gonna do when you wanna roll out
But they don't wanna know cause they ain't no thrill?
If looks could kill, how would it feel?
Ain't on the guest list, ain't on the bill
What you gonna do when you clock, it was all your fault?
You were too busy keeping it real

What you gonna do when the walls close in?
What you gonna do when it all goes grim?
What you gonna do when it's all on top
And they still wanna know if you're on this ting?
Everybody wants to take shots at the king
What you gonna do, sink or swim?
What you gonna do, there's a whole lot of love
And a whole lot of hate and the line is thin?
What you gonna do when it ain't all sweet?
What you gonna do now when your kids gotta eat?
What you gonna do, cause you got too far
You're a star, you can't go back to the streets?
Can't disappear, kick back for a week
It's actually peak!
What you gonna do, keep quiet or speak?
Ain't nobody gonna shed no tears, get back on your feet

What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
What you gonna do when it's all on you?
What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
What you gonna do when it ain't all about you?

What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
What you gonna do when it's all on you boy?
What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
What you gonna do when it ain't all about you?

What you gonna do, you don't set no trends, drop no gems
What you gonna do, you ain't got not friends
No one to fend, gotta make amends?
What you gonna do, when there's no top tens
What you gonna do, when you gotta downgrade, no chauffeured Benz?
People lookin' at it like "Raah, swear down what's good?
Never thought I'd see you in the ends"
Deep breath and takin' a pause
Gonna end up breakin' fools
Looks like nobody is down for the cause
What you gonna do, when the tax man is banging at your door
And you know you've been breaking the rules?
Should have read that payment clause
What you gonna do, when the cheques don't come
And your lawyer dips out, stops takin' your calls?
What you gonna do when the sun don't shine?
Can't unwind, when you're online
Everybody sayin' that "You're past your prime."
What you gonna do when you know MC's keep carryin' your flow but you can't get signed?
What you gonna do when you get locked up
'Cause you ain't got money for the parking fine?
What you gonna do when it all goes sideways?
Gotta work weekend shifts at Mac D's, and you can't party on a Friday
What you wanna do is just fly away
Wanna get Ghost on the highway
What you gonna do when you ain't that guy
And the girls don't stop and say "Hi babe?"
Better just stay on the grind mate

What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
What you gonna do when it's all on you?
What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
What you gonna do when it ain't all about you?

What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
What you gonna do when it's all on you boy?
What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
What you gonna do? What you gonna do?
What you gonna do when it ain't all about you?

Everybody wanna take shots at the king
