What Now



What Now

(This song can be downloaded here )

What Now is the third single of Keith's Hits. The song has lyrics dealing with abuse on homework.

The song used the same melody and similar instrumental of "What's Happenin'" by Webbie.

The song received generally positive reviews.

Small Background
This was a "free-style" rap about a school, so it seems to be about a generic school. So let's just say it wasn't so Keith's high school, GHS.

Some Critical Response
What Now received a positive response. Rap was a popular genre at GHS, so a rap song would go over pretty well. A small complaint was its short length, despite the original "What's Happenin'" having an additional verse.

Lyrics

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:monospace;font-size:medium;line-height:normal;">I try to keep up with this, but I can't always do so, <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:monospace;font-size:medium;line-height:normal;">

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:monospace;font-size:medium;line-height:normal;">I do as much as I can but always have too much to owe <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:monospace;font-size:medium;line-height:normal;">

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:monospace;font-size:medium;line-height:normal;">When I turn it in late, ya'll just give me more work for me to start <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:monospace;font-size:medium;line-height:normal;">

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:monospace;font-size:medium;line-height:normal;">But instead I got some more homework, I even said, "yes sir." <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:monospace;font-size:medium;line-height:normal;">

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:monospace;font-size:medium;line-height:normal;">Hey, can you help me? Yeah, what's the capital of Denmark? <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:monospace;font-size:medium;line-height:normal;">

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:monospace;font-size:medium;line-height:normal;">Help me please! I was going to play outside, but now it's too  <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:monospace;font-size:medium;line-height:normal;">dark.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:monospace;font-size:medium;line-height:normal;">Do it at school? That's a skinny chance, because we just take notes.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:monospace;font-size:medium;line-height:normal;">And my handwriting is so darn sloppy, and I can't see what I just wrote.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:monospace;font-size:medium;line-height:normal;">I don't have a good memory, so listening is not enough

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:monospace;font-size:medium;line-height:normal;">but I better improve it, because these tests are really tough

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:monospace;font-size:medium;line-height:normal;">I go to school to learn so much, but this homework ruins that

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:monospace;font-size:medium;line-height:normal;">It is like they are the ones who want to take down Facebook's chat

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:monospace;font-size:medium;line-height:normal;">Hey school, I got just one word that sums it up: "How?"

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:monospace;font-size:medium;line-height:normal;">How do I do this homework? It keeps coming, and I can't keep up.

<span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:monospace;font-size:medium;line-height:normal;">[Chorus] <span style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:monospace;font-size:medium;line-height:normal;">
