i just got out of the very same situation. it took a lot of hard work but now me and my 4yo twins have a better life. this song was and still is my anthem to remind me of where i was and how far i've come and still have to go
Coming from a real friend what would you do ladies been there done that last time for me to Tasha Mack one of my famous artists I'm going to give you my way from Tasha Mack and want her friends Brenda Lee butterfly Bennett
Singing this song when I was 10 just cause it sounded good and I could sing…. Not realizing this really was about to be my entire life. God is good and I got it handled and I am blessed. Get up off yo feet and stop making them tired excuses ❤️
This song really speaks about the struggle young women face and the drama some women go through the provide for their children. Really makes me think about my mom and all the things she went through to get us where we at today.
This is what excuses and a total lack of accountability sounds like. Just pure weakness. Women make dumb choices and then complain about the consequences. When you're a slave to your emotions and don't have the sense to Wed before you're bred, this is the kind of shit you should expect. Stop being hoes, become wives before you become parents, and enough with the excuses. Y'all claim to be grown, so act like it.
I heard this song all of my life, in the car, at home, anywhere. I never realised the meaning, the words. I sang this song every time I heard it, but the other day I paid attention to the lyrics. Listened to it carefully, and as soon as I knew the meaning, I got goosebumps. This is pure music.
The lead singer Rob was on intervention and had such an inspiring story. He has come from rock bottom and has fixed his life for his daughter and his family. He is an inspiration and I hope he keeps it up. Way to to Rob... Do it for Lyric!
This is so real. Love this song. City High was such an inspiration to my generation at that time. So said they feel off. Hope Claudette will make a come back!
Time has flown by and hip hop has changed since this song came out. I wish this group made a come back and made more hits. This was a one hit wonder joint back in the day freshman year high school 2001.
Back when Rap/hip hop/ R&B had a message... A real message. Now a days you got these privileged people spitting nonsense thinking they conquered a mountain, I prefer the music where we all speak as a equal because the ones that struggle make there life and to me thats more meaningful and basically called living, but thats just me.
Sad thing is somebody will come here begging for attention. I don't mean in relation to the song. Just a lame being an oblivious complete ignorant creep
Look up SOFT WHITE UNDERBELLY . This UA-cam channel, the creator and the people who tell their stories are changing both their own lives and others. The stories are chilling. Basically this song but more detailed. All ages and races.
I wish that these guys would get back together.......i remember all my brothers and sisters and me, all 6 of us, used to sit down together and listen to this song every chance we got.... this song was something we all could listen to without arguing... in a way i can say it kept us together i guess cuz we had a pretty bumpy chilhood there for a large amount of time... i miss these guys... PLEASE COME BACK CITY HIGH!!!!!!!
I used to know this song word for word in 2001,courtesy of the Hollywood Hamilton show. I can't believe they made such a sensitive topic a hit song. Pure genius.
Whoever these people are that turned this song down by City High don't know nothing about what music means and sounds like. This song is amazing and the words are true.
ONE HIT WONDER!!!!!!!!! Man even though I was a baby when my mom would be rolling in her care blastin this I still love it. Have their cd. Miss them so much!!
Haven't heard this song in sooo long!! the meaning of this song will still ring true in future years. "Get up off your feet & stop making tired excuses"
This is real music. Good beat, good message. So much better then the music about cars, girls and shooting at people. Bring good music back. City High for life
Just watched Robby on Intervention...said he's been sober since 2009, hope he still is! Awesome man with alot of talent that shouldn't be wasted to the bottle.
I think the reason the song is so upbeat is to help balance out the subject matter, as well as offer a positive outlook and optimism for people that deal with this type of stuff. Saying "Hey, yeah this sucks right now but keep your head up"
How time passes! I remember having their album (cd) back in the day. I thought they were talented. But talent does not always lead to commercial success apparently.
To all - Dad's (to be) out there, try and be there for your kids, even if things are hard it will only be temporary before your situation changes. Don't give up fight for your family and pray to God for help.
Ey city high, I really appreciate this song cuz it makes me think about the kids that gotta take care of their family cuz the parents cant cut it. This is really giving me a direction I wanna work towards helping and I been lost myself but I think it's time to go back to school and devote some money to helping the real strugglers who grew up not knowing nothing else. Much love... really... much much love
When I was younger i use to listen this song vybzing singing along. Since becoming a mum after having to sleep with men to put food on the table and clothes on our back, this song kept me going mentally. Ladies honestly I understand do what you gotta especially if like my kids they end up with sperm doners (no right being called a father)
I know, man that's the same exact thing I was thinking. It's crazy how music from so long ago can evoke such strong feelings of nostalgia. I really miss the 90's.
one of my best songs! tru talk life is more worthy than silver and gold. there are women in this world who put babies in the gutters becaused they can't afford to raise the child. i won't never ever do that to a child because many women can't conceived a child. a child is a gift from god.
Oh my gosh 11 years ago?! Arghhh music brings back soo many vivid feelings - feelings that somehow feel so real today. SCAREYYY mannn! Seriously words can't describe this, it's freaking me out!
I MISS THE POSITIVE SONGS...YOU WILL NEVER HEAR A POSITIVE/UPLIFTING SONG ON THE RADIO THESE DAYZ😔 THE INDUSTRY IS A FREAK SHOW NOW..WITH ALL OF THE CIRCUS CLOWNS IN IT😑 CITY HIGH WAS THE SHIT AND IM STILL A FAN💖 I KNOW THE WHOLE WORDS TO THIS AMAZING SONG! #CITYHIGH 4 EVA💖🔥💪💯 CLAUDETTE IS A BEAUTY QUEEN😍
@@Ann-ct9ek Exactly. Some people just don't get that this bridge part represents judgemental people who have no idea what it's like, not the actual message of the song. The chorus is what the message is.
I don't care to ask questions, like: "Who is still listening in whatever year it is?!" Because great songs that cause you to feel and/or think will always have someone listening. "What Would You Do?" is a great song. So, listeners, please continue to think and feel. Peace!
What hurts is people do not understand, however, this video/song helped me break away from prostitution and get a real job.
Well done ✌
Congratulations happy 4 you for real even though this post is old
Nice to know that it helped you want to turn your circumstances around.
Been there also
Wow, thats so awesome ! congrats!!
"in and out of lockdown, I ain't got a job now" - not much has changed my friend

Straight Classic FUEGO!!! This song is mad relevant today more than EVER!!!

This is the most depressing song yet the most addicting song.

2023 and this song still is just a classic! Man I wish city high was still doing big things. This was the one but the industry is horror. Sad face!
this cheesy ass cornball track was wack asf then and still is...js
This was the rock bottom that hip hop fell. Wasn't until Kanye brought us back from this dark and pitiful time in music history

Yep same here i sang it as a kid it was played everywhere but now as an adult you realise the meaning.😥
It’s rhythm and blues
Same here
Shows how parents, whether it's the mom or dad, will do anything for their child to have the best life that they can give them.
I remember this song at the end of the movie "Life", when Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence were arguing at the Yankees game.
Skating rink too

When i was a kid u didnt realise how raw this song is
Right! A lot of us as adults have been thru this real shit called life!
I used to know this song word for word in 2001,courtesy of the Hollywood Hamilton show.
I can't believe they made such a sensitive topic a hit song. Pure genius.
Movie soundtrack to the movie LIFE. They 1hit wonders. From our area new jeruz.
c'mon this song is timeless...i can't believe it doesn't have more views...this was my jam bitd...still is...
i love how their music actually represents something, not just about sex and money, theirs have soooo much meaning ! x
when music hip hop tells you story's about life and teach you morals today music nope big off smh
today's rap is garbage
Whoever these people are that turned this song down by City High don't know nothing about what music means and sounds like. This song is amazing and the words are true.
22 years later and this song is still a total classic. Seems like only yesterday this funky song was released.
ONE HIT WONDER!!!!!!!!! Man even though I was a baby when my mom would be rolling in her care blastin this I still love it. Have their cd. Miss them so much!!
City high isn't a one hit wonder lol
Two Hit Wonder actually. “What Would You Do” hit #8 & “Caramel” cracked the Top 20 stalling at #18 a few months later.
Back when music still spoke on real life issues ... Not like today's garbage!
Your right about that
That’s the jam growing up and still is now!

This song is so real. Life is hard.
People make life hard.
such a great song with great lyrics, don't understand why it hasn't reached like 50 millions views, but this world is of course not always logical
Just watched Robby on Intervention...said he's been sober since 2009, hope he still is! Awesome man with alot of talent that shouldn't be wasted to the bottle.
LIFE BROUGHT ME HERE! 2020 And i still remember this song as it was along time ago
this will. allways be revelent...for ever man

2019 and still a great song
I knew this cat could sing since I saw him in Sister Act 2... Lauryn, too 🙂

Definitely a good song.

no, this song tells you what really goes on in the world. That's why I always say be thankful for what you have cause it could be worse.

By farrrrr the best, most catchy song I ever heard! Best lyrics, message..... this is creme' de la creme of RnB
Back when music made you love life.
Ey city high, I really appreciate this song cuz it makes me think about the kids that gotta take care of their family cuz the parents cant cut it.

Heard it in high school 15+ years ago but, now i understand!
Y’all need to come
Backkkkkkkkkkkkk
I still get chills every time I hear it on the radio

Powerful song if you take in and understand the message. Remember this from back in high school.

I love this song so much and I will put this on replay as much as I can to get through life and finish my mission.
I know, man that's the same exact thing I was thinking. It's crazy how music from so long ago can evoke such strong feelings of nostalgia. I really miss the 90's.
what happened to good music like this? with a story? I miss this!!
Such a throwback . Heard this today for the first time in over 10 years wow

The part where it breaks into "The Next Episode" is awesome!
Stop letting your frustrations define your physical being which enables abuse physically, sexually, and financially to destroy you.
This is one of the best songs ever!
Haven't heard this song in years! And as soon as it played i sang the whole song! I love this song
This is still true today.. when a song never gets old.
Just heard this song again years later - still prevalent, just wish today's youth was this humble and real. ❤️
you're right...it's timeless...matter fact...truer today then 20yrs ago...

Timeless.
This song came on the radio in the charity shop where I volunteer today. The customers were blown away with my lack of talent as I sang along alone.
I feel so stupid.
I never noticed that is the kid from sister act 2!! who was singing that high note lol
I used to sing this song sooooo much when I was a kid
We should have know when I was 12 and this was my favorite song that I’d end up being a licensed clinical social worker.

1:51-2:11 one of my fav parts of this song. the lyrics actually got a message thats not drug related or some sh*t. Miss songs like this alot
Why that part of the villains?

I remember another song which also has this Part.
I don't care to ask questions, like: "Who is still listening in whatever year it is?!"
Because great songs that cause you to feel and/or think will always have someone listening.
"What Would You Do?" is a great song. So, listeners, please continue to think and feel. Peace!
2023 . Comin back to listen one of my favourite song....❤️
they just played this song on the radio, first time i heard it in like 6 or 7 years and i still love it and still know all the lyrics!
