What Would You Do
D. Malone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A twenty room mansion in Memphis with a big high wrought iron gate
What would you take for me darling what would it cost me to stay
Cause whatever the price I'd spend my whole life getting up the money to pay
What would you take for me darling the trips to far distand lands
And diamonds and such mean more than a touch of your true lover's hand
What would you take for me darling...
In D. Malone's song "What Would You Do," the singer poses a series of questions to their beloved about what they'd be willing to give up in order to hold onto the love they share. The first example given is a choice between two valuable items - a Cadillac or an "NK" (which could refer to a type of luxury car, or perhaps something less tangible). This is followed by an offer of a lavish mansion, which the singer is willing to acquire at any cost if it means keeping their love close. This sentiment is echoed in the chorus, where the singer insists that they would spend their entire life savings to keep their relationship intact.
The second verse of the song expands on this idea of sacrifice, with the singer asking about more abstract gifts like trips to exotic locations and expensive jewelry. However, the underlying message remains the same - that the singer is willing to give up anything and everything in order to stay with the person they love.
Overall, "What Would You Do" is a poignant reflection on the depth of love and the sacrifices that come with it. It paints a picture of a relationship that is tested by external forces, but ultimately stands strong in the face of adversity.

[Intro: Future & Post Malone]
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
Yeah, you'd die for me
Said you'd die, said you'd die
But you lied, you lied to me
[Chorus: Post Malone]
Said you'd take a bullet, told me you would die for me
I had a really bad feeling you'd been lying to me
We were on the low, but you were getting high with me
When it's past 11, that's a different side I see
Said you'd die for me, you'd die for me, you'd die for me
But you lied to me, you lied to me, you lied to me
Said you'd die for me, you'd die for me, you'd die for me
But you lied to me, you lied to me, you lied to me
[Verse 1: Post Malone]
It was love at first sight, felt like you were chosen (Oh)
But that blood in your veins, yeah, I know it's frozen (It's so cold)
Got no patience no more (No), been waitin' too long (Yeah)
You hid that shit away and I was the last one to know, bitch (Ayy, ooh)
I heard you comin' in, I was lyin' there awake (Awake)
Didn't know that it was you, got the gun right out the safe (Damn)
Remember when you got my ass arrested (Wow)
At least when I was in jail, I got some rest in (Yeah)
[Pre-Chorus: Post Malone]
Ooh, I surrender (Ayy), time to forget ya (Ayy)
I'm too tired to forgive ya (Ayy), it's too hard on my liver (Ayy)
And you know (Ayy) it’s all (Ayy) over now
All your friends (Ayy), you know (Ayy) they sold you out
[Chorus: Post Malone & Future]
Said you'd take a bullet, told me you would die for me (Die for me)
I had a really bad feeling you'd been lying to me (Lying to me)
We were on the low, but you were getting high with me (High with me)
When it's past 11, that's a different side I see (Side I see)
Said you'd die for me, you'd die for me, you'd die for me (Die, die, die)
But you lied to me, you lied to me, you lied to me (Lie, lie, lie)
Said you'd die for me, you'd die for me, you'd die for me (Die, die, die)
But you lied to me, you lied to me, you lied to me, yeah (You lied, yeah)
[Verse 2: Future]
It was a VIP, happened to be one of my best nights (Yeah)
9 AM, I came from out the club, it was daylight (Daylight)
Got a bad girl, I was treating her too nice (I was treating her too nice)
Caught you being vulnerable, that ain't what I need (That ain't what I need)
You just sold your soul, girl, quit crying (Sold your soul)
Your passport, it looks like you lying (Know you cold)
You broken down by your past, don't deny it (You know I know)
Your ex called, you was vulnerable, you flying, nah (Flying)
Wasn't on the best of terms, girl, I was trying (I was trying on ya)
I did everything to reach out to you (I was reaching out)
Said you never had me caught up in no drama (No drama)
I done ran into my karma (I done ran)
[Chorus: Future]
Said you'd take a bullet, told me you would die for me (That you would die)
I had a really bad feeling you'd been lying to me (You'd been lying)
We been on the low, but you been getting high with me (You was high)
When it's past 11, that's a different side I see (A different side)
Said you'd die for me, you'd die for me, you'd die for me (Said you'd die, you said you'd die)
But you lied to me, you lied to me, you lied to me (Know you're lying)
Said you'd die for me, you'd die for me, you'd die for me (Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)
But you lied to me, you lied to me, you lied to me
[Verse 3: Halsey]
Settle down, I'll spell it out, it's simple enough
I came around, I figured out, should follow my gut
I don't play anymore, I went through your phone
And called the girls in your DMs and took all them home
And I know it's been a while since the last time you heard from me
Grew into a savage and that's why they gave this verse to me
Turns out it shows 'cause they turn out at shows
I sold 15 million copies of a break-up note
Brought some strangers in our beds
And now you lost your right to privacy
Spilling all our secrets
When you thought they'd probably die with me
Know you fucking love it on the low
And you don't have to say I'm crazy
'Cause I know nothing's changed though

[Post Malone]
Said you'd take a bullet, told me you would die for me
I had a really bad feeling you'd been lying to me
We were on the low, but you were getting high with me
When it's past eleven, that's a different side I see
Said you'd die for me, you'd die for me, you'd die for me
But you lied to me, you lied to me, you lied to me
Said you'd die for me, you'd die for me, you'd die for me
But you lied to me, you lied to me, you lied to me
It was love at first sight, felt like you were chosen
But that blood in your veins, yeah, I know it's frozen
Got no patience no more
Been waitin' too long
You hid that shit away and I was the last one to know, bitch
I heard you comin' in, I was lyin' there awake
Didn't know that it was you, got the gun right out the safe
Remember when you got my ass arrested
At least when I was in jail, I got some rest in
Oh, I surrender
Time to forget ya
I'm too tired to forgive ya
It's too hard on my liver
And you know
It’s all
Over now
All your friends
You know
They sold you out

You just sold your soul, girl, quit crying
Your passport, it looks like you lying
You broken down by your past, don't deny it
Your ex called, you was on the board, you flying, nah
Wasn't on the best of terms, girl, I was trying
I did everything to reach out to you
Said you never had me caught up in no drama
I done ran into my karma
Said you'd take a bullet, told me you would die for me

I don't play anymore, I went through your phone
And caught the girls in your dms and took all them home
And I know it's been a while since the last time you heard from me
Grew into a savage and that's why they gave this verse to me
Turns out at shows 'cause they turn out at shows
I sold fifteen million copies of a break-up note
Brought some strangers in our beds
And now you lost your right to privacy
Spilling all our secrets
When you thought they'd probably die with me
Know you fucking love it on the low
And you don't have to say I'm crazy
'Cause I know nothing's changed
[Post Malone & Halsey]
Said you'd take a bullet, told me you would die for me
