Hello, ladies (Hello)
How are y'all doin' tonight (Fine)
Can I keep it real (Yes)
And say what's on my mind (Yes)

There you are in that chair
Waiting for me to take you there
To break it down and sing to you
And make you feel these words are true

Who's gonna be the lucky one
Who spend some money on 'em and have some fun
Tell me, I choose you

(What would you do) What would you do if I said all of
These words were true
(What would you) What would you do if I came down here
And sat with you
(What would you do) What would you do if I told the
Band to break it down
(Ooh) What would you do if I said I wanna lay you down

(What) What would you do if I put this money in your
Hand
(Would you do) What would you do if I said I'd like to
Be your man
(What would you do, baby) What would you do if I
Brought you up here on this stage
What would you do if (Tell me), what would you do

The lights are down (Yeah), the mood is set (Yeah)
The sound is right, I'm heated
Look to my wealth and check my crowd
Look to my right (Yeah) to see if they are ready now

Tell me who out there feels lucky
Wants me to take 'em shopping and buy 'em everything
Hmm, I choose you

(Now what would you do, yeah) What would you do if I
Said all of these words were true

Overall Meaning

In Pied Piper's song What Would You Do? Pt. 2, he addresses the women in the audience and asks them what they would do if he were to say all the words he is speaking are true. He aims to break it down and sing to them, making them feel like his words are true. He then asks who out there feels lucky and wants him to take them shopping and buy them everything. Pied Piper informs them that he would choose them and they should be ready. The song talks about him wanting to give them money and put it in their hands, wanting to be their man, and even taking them shopping if they be good.


Pied Piper is trying to buy the women's love and affection by offering them materialistic things. He is asking them what they would do if he were to offer them money and make them feel like he is genuinely interested in them. He wants them to feel like they are the lucky ones, and they should be grateful to be chosen by him, someone who has wealth and status. However, the song raises important questions about the value of relationships and the meaning of love if it is only based on materialistic things.
