about

What you gonna do? This is the question of the day because these are crucial times and action speaks much louder than words.
This track is co-written by Ron Prince. the great guitarist and producer who operates a very busy recording studio on the south side of Chicago in Englewood; directly dead center in the hood; which is a magnificent feat in itself.

lyrics

Where you gonna be
When you see your well went dry?
You a wanna be
Hold your head in your hands and cry
No its not fate that's happened to you
You just got to face the dirty things that you do
You can hide your eyes so that you just can't see
But does that mean you have to be so cruel to me?
What goes around got to come back around
The guilty jumps at every loud sound
Where you gonna be
When the blues comes your way?
You'll feel sick inside
Not a thing that you can say
No don't you say that it's undeserved
Your actions speaks much louder than those words
I know you think that your oh so smart
You played with all your broken hearts
But when you feel that pain
Your gonna wish you were born again
Where you gonna be
When it comes to you one day
You a hypocrite
With the things that you will say
Don't you even to say that it's undeserved
Your action speaks much louder than those words
What you gonna try
When your stuff don't work no more?
What you gonna buy?
They won't sell it at no store
Virtue is not sold at any price
Long before you act you had better think twice!
