[Ja Rule]
What's going on in a world filled with pain
Where's the love for which we pray
What's going on
When our children can't play
Homeless can't eat
There's got to be a better way
What's going on
When we politically blind
Can't see the signs of endangered times
What's going on
[Nelly Furtado]

What's going on 'cross seas
Every minute a child dies by this disease
In record numbers indeed
Got momma's crying out please

My child ain't done nothing wrong
Still I want to holler
Ask them why they don't bother
Oh no, oh no
Make me turn to my father
And ask him why they all got a trapped soul
[Nas]
I can feel what was bothering Marvin
Why his words forever remain
Dealing with these modern day problems
'Cause of ignorance surrounding me and my constituents
Too many infected
Too many lives diminishing
Nobody say Protestants, Jews, Blacks, and Whites, Latinos and Asians
Pray together
Let's fight
We better unite
As genocide chemical war
And the rich and the poor
Know that God delivers a cure
[Eve]
It's a shame our reality is devastating
People praying for a cure
Dying while they're waiting
Ask the Lord for the comfort and strength to face it
All the kids with dreams
Won't get the chance to chase it
Makes me sad
Think about the lives they would've had
Think about the orphan babies got no moms and dads
How can we sit back and not try to make it right
We gotta come together
We gotta fight for life
[Fred Durst]
Somebody tell me what's going on (what's going on)
We got human beings using humans for a bomb
But everybody wanna live
Don't nobody really want to die
You feeling me right
I can't be watching people die
And watching people cry
Let me break it down for a minute
If there's enough room here for you and for me
There's plenty of room for some humanity
Somebody tell me what's going on

[Intro:]
If you love living your life, leave me alone
I live the life, I sing about in my song
They hate me unitl I'm gone, they hate
They hate me until I'm gone, if you love living your life, leave me alone
[Z-Ro:]
Fuck everybody lately, cause it was fuck me first
What's the reason for the season, of wanting to see me in a hearse
It really don't matter, because I ride or die for me
Even if they kill me, there's happiness in the sky for me
So if it's death around the corner, I can't stop it if I wanna
Jesus just let me empty my tip, and hit my marijuana
Yeah I seen it coming, nobody gon catch me off guard
Make em look me in my eye, before they break me off Lord
Excuse my attitude, but I'm use to negativity
My life explains my fuck everybody, on each delivery
Some say it's the drugs, others say it's a lack of love
It ain't gotta be a reason, crazy simply just because
Everyday of my life, has been a struggle and pain
So I perform with no emotion, no further need to explain
If you love living your life, leave me alone
Fuck rap, I live the life I sing about in my song
[Hook:]
Fuck rap, I live the life I sing about in my song
Nobody in the world loves me, they hate me until I'm gone
(what's going on), realizing I'm going crazy
Everybody watching me suffer, but won't nobody save me
This can't be life, I promise the world ain't shit
I never knew I'd lose my mind, and end up like this
Cause all I think is murder, realizing I'm going crazy
Wait till they get a load of me, it's fuck everybody lately
[Z-Ro:]
In my '73, rolling on top of the trails
Let down my window, and let my pistol excel
Disrespect me, revenge gon represent me like a thief in the night
So prepare, for permanent sleep in you life
I'm still a Christian on a mission, but my vision ain't clear
Looking for peace, but all I see is drama down here
So when the going gets tough, the tough pull the team together
Who ride, and get rid of our enemies together
But if you live by the sword, then you die by it
So when it's time for me to go, it ain't no need to cry about it
Cause I done done my share, of wrong doing
Exaturated resolvable situations, and left some homes ruined
Even niggaz, that call themselves friends
They'll be first to try to rob me, and then do me in
So if you love living your life, leave me alone
Fuck rap, I live the life I sing about in my song
[Hook]
[Z-Ro:]
(what's going on), realizing I'm on the edge
My every thought is aggravated assault, and get my bread
For the love of money, motherfuckers disappear
That's the very reason, Joseph McVey keep his pistol near
Come and get me, so you can put your hands on my riches
The only alliby I need to squeeze it, and ain't digging ditches
But if I gotta, kiss my freedom goodbye
I tongue kiss my ten millimeter, cause she didn't let me die
That's a down ass bitch, mayn
Unlike my friends, cause just to get some ends they ten to spit names
24/7-365, nobody at my side
They might hit me up, before they help me hide
So I roll by myself, or I roll with Trae
A.B.N. for life, focused on making the world pay
If you love living your life, leave me alone
Fuck rap, I live the life I sing about in my song

Yeah what's going on
Ahh what's going on
Ja Rule:
What's going on in a world filled with pain
Where's the love for which we pray
What's going on
When our children can't play
Homeless can't eat
There's got to be a better way
What's going on
When we politically blind
Can't see the signs of endangered times
What's going on
Nelly Furtado:
Ah tell me
What's going on in the world today
I'd rather be dead
Than turn my head away
We gotta first world vision to complete, to lift our
Hands in the air and cry for a switch

Nelly:
What's going on 'cross seas
Every minute a child dies by this disease
In record numbers indeed
Got momma's crying out please
My baby hold on
My child ain't done nothing wrong
Still I want to holler
Ask them why they don't bother
Oh no, oh no
Make me turn to my father
And ask him why they all got a trapped soul, trapped soul
Nas:
I can feel what was bothering Marvin
Why his words forever remain
Dealing with these modern day problems
'Cause of ignorance surrounding me and my constituents
Too many infected
Too many lives diminishing
Nobody say Protestants, Jews, Blacks, and Whites, Latinos and Asians
Pray together
Less fight
We better unite
As genocide chemical war
And the rich and the poor
Know that God delivers a cure
Eve:
It's a shame our reality is devastating
People praying for a cure
Dying while they're waiting
Ask the Lord for the comfort and strength to face it
All the kids with dreams
Won't get the chance to chase it
Makes me sad
Think about the lives they would've had
Think about the orphan babies got no moms and dads
How can we sit back and not try to make it right
We gotta come together
We gotta fight for life
Fred Durst:
Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
We got human beings using humans for a bomb
But everyone wanna live
Don't nobody really want to die
You feeling me right

(die)
And watching people cry
Let me break it down for a minute
If there's enough room here for you and me
There's plenty of room for some humanity
Somebody tell me what's going on

Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on
First time I saw you, you were Mr. Natural
You seemed so diffident, you hardly spoke at all
Now you come to me and you've got green streaks in your hair
You walk like Greta Garbo, but you talk like Yogi Bear
What's going on? What's going on?
I really don't believe what's going on; what's going on?
Anyone in the farmouse could have given you the news
You think you're in control but you're only being used
I know your head is in the sky and you're easy to deceive
But how you fell for this I really don't believe
What's going on? What's going on?
I really don't believe what's going on; what's going on?
All those rock 'n' roll star heroes you spend your time around
You may think you're one of them but you're 100,000 down
What are you going to do when the company calls its money in?
How'll you feel stuck out in the rain without a friend?
What's going on? What's going on?

[Canibus]
The club scene is a regular hangout spot for unclean
women in tight jeans frontin like queens
Chickenheads who should be home takin care of their eggs
Instead, they always in the club flirtin with men
No I don't care about no hype-no-holic bitches; all I'm concerned with
is who's bringin they burners in to burn niggaz
While security practice is mediocre proportions
Niggaz is still stealthily sneakin they firearms in
Often, niggaz be acting like they're marksmen
but couldn't hit a stationary object
So how you gonna hit a movin target? Especially if you alcoholic
The party was coconuts until you spoiled it
Nigga what's goin on?
Chorus: Canibus + samples
"What's going on? What's going on?"
[Can]What's goin on these days?
[Can]Can't do no hip-hop shows without the gunplay
"What's going on? What's going on?"
[Can]What's goin on? Why is everybody packin?
"While you rappin, I'm busy tryin to sneak the gat in" -> Havoc
"What's going on? What's going on?"
[Can]What's goin on these days?
Can't do no hip-hop shows without the gunplay
"What's going on? What's going on?"
[Can]Before you blaze, think about the lives at stake
"You got a gun up in your waist, please don't shoot up the place" -> Biggie
[Canibus]
Aiyyo
The other night I seen some kid gettin loud, runnin his mouth
Til somebody pulled the thang-thang out, then shots rang out
This nigga in front of me got his back blown out
On the floor with a piece of his small intestines hangin out
I had to scream on the bouncers to carry him out
They said, "Nah, them niggaz is still bustin in the crowd"
Then they ducked down close to the ground as the bullets whizzed by
Prayin to Allah cause they don't wanna die
But neither do I, fuck it, I gotta be here
As a rap artist, it's a vital part of my career
I swear, y'all niggaz need to chill with that
Bringing your handguns to every God damn club I perform at
Everything from semi-autos to macs
Chrome or black, plastic gats and all that
Believe it or not - the government wants that
So they can use that as an excuse to shut down rap
What's goin on?
Chorus
[Canibus]
All of my hip-hop niggaz should feel what I'm speakin upon
A subject that was touched by Nas and Pharoahe Monch
Bullets - bein shot from guns, guns bein carried by thugs
who come to the clubs to shed blood
Bear in mind, that everytime a nigga reaches for chrome
he jeopardizes more lives than his own
To some this record ain't even relevant until you experience
how a bullet can shatter your dreams in a millisec'
By some thug cats who didn't take that
by bustin a gat, they could render somebody handicapped
and trapped, in a wheelchair over nothin
With the gift of walkin and runnin snatched from them
What the fuck is goin on?
Seems like everybody's got a problem
No one knows how
But, we all want to solve 'em
You could give a dime
Give a hand
Or give a shit
Or could look away and never deal with it
For example
This girl is pretty fly for a white gal
All the guys want her even though she's a juvenite
She's really kinda sad and just don't care
'Cause the only one she wants is her best friend Claire
What's going on?
What's going on?
Ready or not - NOT
The world moves on and on and on
Yo, what's going on?
There's nothing much to me
I'm simple like you are, ordinary
My tired eyes can see
That time may fly
And what's left is
Meant to be
I'm looking out
You're looking in
It's taken more then time
To erase the stain
And it's never been the same
Any city
A girl turns 17, goes to a party
She and her girls are drinkin barcardi
Ever since she walked through the door
All the guys have been scoping and flexing tryin' to score
But she's a good girl
So she won't have none of that
She takes another sip
But has no clue of the spike from the G to the H to the B
She wakes up in the morning
bruised and raped in the street
What's going on?
What's going on?
Ready or not - NOT
The world moves on and on and on
Yo, what's going on?
Your town
A kid that you know goes to school
He's really kinda shy and not that cool
He knows what it's like to look in from the outside
Inside, he just wants someone to confide
But everyone's busy and no one's got the time
He takes his dad's gun and says
"This is how I'll shine"
Boom, boom, boom
And the kids fall down
On the ground
Dumbfound (dumbfound)
What's going on?
What's going on?
Ready or not - NOT
The world moves on and on and on
Giorgio moroder/pete belotte
(from the soudtrack of "metropolis", 1984)
Is there a mask behind the face
Is it a sleeveless ace
Can a smile conceal a sneer
How do we see clear
What makes the truth curl up and lie
Is it the fly-by-night
If the counterfeit's the sham
How do we all stand
The deeper we put in the problem - the less we know
What's going on
I wanna know
What's going on
Remember all the cracks you feared
Beneath the clear veneer
Well, now they're bursting wide apart
And this is just the start
How does it feel to lose control - lose your goal
So who's a friend and who's a foe - time to show
What's going on
I wanna know

The way you look is pretty strong
The way you act , you do me wrong
Tell me what s going on?
Tell me what have I done?
Pour out your very heart
Pour it out from the start
What plays on in your mind?
Tell me why leave me blind?
Like an actress on a stage
You avoid me like the plague
You keep me hanging in suspense
Rule out my existence
Tell me, what s going on?
Tell me , what went wrong? Don't wait until the sky comes
down
Why don t you raise your sulky frown?
Did we come to a breaking point?
And is it now all my fault?
Tell me what s going on?
Tell me what have I done?
Tell me what s going on?
I was talking
When I should have been listening
I didn't hear a word that anyone said
It might not have been so very important
'Cause I was concerned about instead
(with)
What's going on
What's going on
Do you see heaven
Like I do
Or is it just me
Wanting you
Tonight I'm special
Like no one else
I hope you need me
For yourself
Does it make you happy
To be so free
The times we shared
You loving me
And as you leave
And walk away
Your eyes they tell me
Someday you'll stay
What's going on here
What must we fear
To live in this fantasyland in your mind
Who'll carry the load
For dreams left untold
Can you live in this world all mine
I would walk this journey
To say goodbye
To have you close would
Make me high
All the good things
That made you see
It was the strong thing
Being with me
CHORUS
Just look high above
And you'll see where we should be
And if tomorrow makes
If tomorrow breaks us
Then you stand still and I'll
Show you me
Like you never knew
Or is it just me
Wanting you
So as you leave
And walk away
I knew you'd come back
Now let's play
CHORUS
Seems like everybody's got a problem
No one knows how
But, we all want to solve 'em
You could give a dime
Give a hand
Or give a shit
Or could look away and never deal with it
For example
This girl is pretty fly for a white gal
All the guys want her even though she's a juvenite
She's really kinda sad and just don't care
'Cause the only one she wants is her best friend Claire
What's going on?
What's going on?
Ready or not - NOT
The world moves on and on and on
Yo, what's going on?
There's nothing much to me
I'm simple like you are, ordinary
My tired eyes can see
That time may fly
And what's left is
Meant to be
I'm looking out
You're looking in
It's taken more then time
To erase the stain
And it's never been the same
Any city
A girl turns 17, goes to a party
She and he best friend are drinking bacardi
Ever since she walked through the door
All the guys have been scoping and flexing tryin' to score
But she's a good girl
So she won't have none of that
She takes another sip
But has no clue of the spike from the G to the H to the B
She wakes up in the morning
bruised and raped in the street
What's going on?
What's going on?
Ready or not - NOT
The world moves on and on and on
Yo, what's going on?
[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]
Your town
A kid that you know goes to school
He's really kinda shy and not that cool
He knows what it's like to look in from the outside
Inside, he just wants someone to confide
But everyone's busy and no one's got the time
He takes his dad's gun and says
"This is how I'll shine"
Boom, boom, boom
And the kids fall down
On the ground
Dumbfound (dumbfound)
What's going on?
What's going on?
Ready or not - NOT
The world moves on and on and on
Yo, what's going on?
[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]
How time lfies when you're biting your lip 'til it hurts
going over and over the same old things in your mind, oh my
Hours gone by and hours yet to go
Just what I'm waiting for, I don't really know
But then there's you
You know what's going on
You know what's taking place
It's only me that's lost in space
Spin me around yes, give me more of your lies
Give me the gospel according to you
And that's fine by me
I'm sure that I'm wrong and all is not what it seems
But a hundred to one says you
Give the same old lines to me
But then that's you
You know what's going on...
In every good story there's always a twist in the tale
So there's a note on your door that I really feel sure
Will make your face go pale
More shitty venues shooting from the ground
while the cool places all are closing down
subcultureç£ wiped out systematically
but weç£e not gone if you drive us away
Angerç£ rising, how surprising...
[Chorus:]
What the fuck is going on here
Where to go, say, where to go ?
Youç£e scared us off but weç£e still out there
Whatç£ up, man ?
What the fuck is going on here
Where to go, say, where to go ?
This scheme of yours ainç£ getting nowhere
Whatç£ up anyway ?
Punkrockç£ banned, "skins donç£ get in here"...
Itç£ getting hard to set up gigs somewhere
Our cities dying through the councilç£ hand
where once we went to now thereç£ fallow land
Tidy nation operation
Your townscape suffers from the likes of us
Did you expect us to be off so fast ?
You can take away our clubs and tear them down
but you ainç£ rid of us ?weç£e still in town...
Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today
Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Ah, what's going on
In the mean time
Right on, baby

Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today

Talk to me
So you can see
What's going on

Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on

Right on baby
What's going on?
What's happening it's been so long what's going on
And what's going wrong? The good old days are gone
You forgot your plot and your plans as a young man
You invented a scam even you don't understand
You rig the enigma can't figure it out
You change the route now you're in doubt
You use to cut class smoked grass still passed
Figured you was all that but that ain't last;
The times is harder, the drugs is heavier
You say whatever, the more, the merrier;
Smoke chokes your dreams and blurs your scenes,
Now a young man fiend change his plan to schemes;
No more good times, no more time,
Too far to find, you're almost blind,
You can't see what spot that the trap is in...
(Hey bra!)What's happening!
You had it mapped out, your plans get torn,
You stayed up for days and now your dreams are gone
You said you quit, stated your word is bond
(Hey bro) what's going on?
What's going on?
My neighborhood don't look so good
I'll find a way out.. yeah, I would if I could,
But the government is doing a project...
so I live in the projects;
Where we fight for elbow room to the doom,
Try to live long but you die too soon,
I might not be alive to see 25,
Taught at ten to make money and strive;
I sold tapes at school and made some ends
Met a lot of skins and even made some friends,
Cool, 'cause now I got a crew to run wit,
Break a couple of rules, have crazy fun wit;
But every now and then, they give my knuckle game a test,
But I won't fess, I just get rid of the stress!
And then shake hands like a man,
'Cause it's a family thing, only the crew would understand!
But you had a one on one fight wit drugs,
When we ain't cool no more, we buss slugs,
Clip after clip, until one of us is gone...
(Hey bra!) what's going on?
Yo, what's going on?
The crime rate in New York State elevate,
A city filled wit hate, more deaths accumulate,
Drug wars daily, a lot of blood spilt,
Kids on the playground shot down and kilt!
Nobody wants to live on the 1st floor no more...
'Cause stray bullets explore!
We're killing ourselves off slowly but surely,
And at the end of the year, I'm sure many more'll be
Rubbed out in a quest for clout
The rest'll be drugged out, this is bugged out!
Half of the projects is dead or locked up,
Kids getting kidnapped and then found chopped up.
Human abortion create distortions...
And that's just a portion, you know that we're lost when
Babies are addicted to drugs when they are born....!
Verse 1: Mike G
It's a cryin' shame, brothers takin' life as a game
Growing up against the law, but no-one knows who's to blame
Dealin' drugs on the corner, you don't have to, but you wanna
A meal is hard to make, but you tell yourself you're gonna
Dealing 12 to 12, day into evening
I wonder how you continue to be grieving
Your meal is made and it's time to chill
You buy the black Mercedes Benz with the gold to the grill
Cruisin' up the ave while your friends get jealous
You find out, you quickly get restless
You buy a gun, it doesn't help but hurt you
Because your so-called friend rattled on you
You're in the pen serving 10 to 20
Your boy snatched your girl and put use to your money
You're out for teen, but what does it mean?
You're just a wasted, young brother who lost it all on a dream
Chorus: (sampled from What's Going On by Marvin Gaye)
What's goin' on, I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
Yeah, what's goin' on, I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
Verse 2: Afrika, Mike G
My blood brother is bleeding, it's a cryin' shame
Out on the street tryin' to play the game
Formally an in-mate straight from upstate
Can't stop him now 'cause you see it's just too late
He's on the run and he's got a gun
Stay out his way unless you want some
See, he's gettin' older, a bit more bolder
Got his name written up in the 5-0 folder
A big Christmas list of all the crime's he's committed
He says he didn't do it, but we know he did it
Summons his lawyers, fingerprints, bung shots
Lookin' for my brother, yo, he's at the drug spots
Livin' off that cheap Chinese food
He says he only bumps the people when he's in the mood
Runnin' 'round with his crews and his 2-2's
I saw him last night in the prime time news
Shot and killed by a
His birth to the earth was a big mistake
Now, history was not my favourite subject
I used to flip through the pages and get upset
Seein' little of black and too much of the other
(They tried to brainwash you) Picture that, a jungle brother
Read this, read that, answer question 3
But when I got to 3, it had nothin' to do with me
Somethin' was wrong, and I knew it all along
Now tell me (please) what's goin' on
Repeat chorus
Verse 3: Afrika, Mike G
A: Now, I've been told all the do's and don't-do-not's
My mother, hallelujah, she called the shots
She said, "Don't play with guns and play with knives
And most of all, don't play with other people's wives
When you're walkin' down the street, pay the pushers no mind
'Cause all they wanna do is put your mind on cloud nine
Put your head up high and your feet on the ground
You don't have to be like everybody else to be down
Stay in school
G: Don't be no fool
A: Don't lose your temper
G: And keep your cool
A: Follow your heart
G: And not your friends
A: And some of your friends
G: Could lead you into dead ends"
A: The other day my father said, "Son, God bless your soul
Our life is gettin' tougher and the world is cold"
I said, "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, what do you mean?" He said,
G: "You ain't got nothin' 'less you got the green"
A: I realise to myself things are gonna be hard
So each and every day I pray to God
I say, "Now I lay me down to sleep
G: I give the Lord my soul to keep
A: If I should die before I wake
G: Take me to heaven 'cause I need a break
A: But if you let me live to another morn
G: I'd like to know what's goin' on
Chorus 2:
What's goin' on, I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
It's 3 AM, i start to cry, i'm alone again
I tried so hard not to fall in love, but here i am
And you couldn't even pretend
That you care if this was the end?
All the things you said to me wont even matter,
Do what you want, cuz I'm not gonna save you baby, what's goin' on?
We don't care, we don't fight, we don't even know what's wrong or right baby, What's goin' on?
What's goin' on?
There's nothing else i can say, what can i do?
We might have worked out someday, but it takes two
And you couldn't even pretend
That you care if this was the end?
All the things you said to me wont even matter,
Do what you want, cuz I'm not gonna save you baby, what's goin' on?
We don't care, we don't fight, we don't even know what's wrong or right baby, What's goin' on?
What's goin' on?
And i couldn't even pretend that i care if this is the end
All the things you said to me wont even matter,
Do what you want, cuz I'm not gonna save you baby, what's goin' on?
We don't care, we don't fight, we don't even know what's wrong or right baby, What's goin' on?
What's goin' on?

Why didn't I see the signs I was to busy getting high
Runnin up the studio smoking dro writing rhymes
To blind to notice my abdomen was growin
Having sex wit out protection now my belly is showin
Nobody know that me and my boo trying to decide
What to do he buggin like that's a little me inside of you
It ain't true and I'm scared and I can tell he is worried a bit
So we proceed to get the weed and straight ignoring the shit
My jeans don't want to fit every morning hurling and shit
I had to tell my family I knew they all was goin to flip
And his was happy thinking he was about to be a daddy
But I knew it wasn't true even though we both wanted it so badly
Tell me what's goin I know what I'm doing is wrong
Can you hear me Lord when I'm callin for give me my baby
How am I supposed feel the situation is real
Neva wanted to let cha baby go we'll meet again I know baby
We love each other madly so much to gain so much to lose
I'm in pain your mind frame change when you the one that gotta
Choose talk a walk step in my shoes think in negative thoughts
Politics and shit quit when the doctor says positive it's a life living
In my body but it don't gotta to live it's up to me but if I keep what
The fuck I got to give I mean I'm still young and I don't really have
Shit and if this nigga up and leave then my child a be a bastard
This is drastic nobody really understands me and my mom don't
Give a fuck and neither does the rest of the family they like
Remy you can't afford it you expect us to support it
I feel my seeds apart of me and I don't want to abort it so:
Tell me what's goin I know what I'm doing is wrong
Can you hear me Lord when I'm calling for give me my baby
How am I supposed feel the situation is real
Neva wanted to let cha baby go we'll meet again I know baby
I'm not steady but I can get ready for responsibilities shit where
Would I be if my moms got rid of me I'm so stressed and I'm
Under a lot of pressure but all I need is the remedy to make Remy
Feel better I knew I couldn't win so I chose to forfeit its a shame
I'm over four months and I'm in the doctors office I swear to all that
I love that I wanted to leave and wait five more months and birth the child
That I conceived but I sat there because I felt I had to and I cry everyday
Because I realize boy or girl that I wanted to have you don't be made at me
How it is is how it had to be and any pain I put you through is all coming
Back to me
Tell me what's goin I know what I'm doing is wrong

How am I supposed feel the situation is real

Why you do me this way, baby.

What's going on in a world filled with pain
Where's the love for which we pray
What's going on
When our children can't play
Homeless can't eat
There's got to be a better way
What's going on
When we politically blind
Can't see the signs of endangered times
What's going on
[Nelly Furtado]
Ah tell me
What's going on in the world today

What's going on 'cross seas
Every minute a child dies by this disease
In record numbers indeed
Got momma's crying out please
My baby hold on
My child ain't done nothing wrong
Still I want to holler
Ask them why they don't bother
Oh no, oh no
Make me turn to my father
And ask him why they all got a trapped soul
[Nas]
I can feel what was bothering Marvin
Why his words forever remain
Dealing with these modern day problems
'Cause of ignorance surrounding me and my constituents
Too many infected
Too many lives diminishing
Nobody say Protestants, Jews, Blacks, and Whites, Latinos and Asians
Pray together
Let's fight
We better unite
As genocide chemical war
And the rich and the poor
Know that God delivers a cure
[Eve]
It's a shame our reality is devastating
People praying for a cure
Dying while they're waiting
Ask the Lord for the comfort and strength to face it
All the kids with dreams
Won't get the chance to chase it
Makes me sad
Think about the lives they would've had
Think about the orphan babies got no moms and dads
How can we sit back and not try to make it right
We gotta come together
We gotta fight for life
[Fred Durst]
Somebody tell me what's going on (what's going on)
We got human beings using humans for a bomb
But everybody wanna live
Don't nobody really want to die
You feeling me right
I can't be watching people die
And watching people cry
Let me break it down for a minute
If there's enough room here for you and for me
There's plenty of room for some humanity
Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
Verse 1: Mike G
It's a cryin' shame, brothers takin' life as a game
Growing up against the law, but no-one knows who's to blame
Dealin' drugs on the corner, you don't have to, but you wanna
A meal is hard to make, but you tell yourself you're gonna
Dealing 12 to 12, day into evening
I wonder how you continue to be grieving
Your meal is made and it's time to chill
You buy the black Mercedes Benz with the gold to the grill
Cruisin' up the ave while your friends get jealous
You find out, you quickly get restless
You buy a gun, it doesn't help but hurt you

Seein' little of black and too much of the other
(They tried to brainwash you) Picture that, a jungle brother
Read this, read that, answer question 3
But when I got to 3, it had nothin' to do with me
Somethin' was wrong, and I knew it all along
Now tell me (please) what's goin' on
Repeat chorus
Verse 3: Afrika, Mike G
A: Now, I've been told all the do's and don't-do-not's
My mother, hallelujah, she called the shots
She said, "Don't play with guns and play with knives
And most of all, don't play with other people's wives
When you're walkin' down the street, pay the pushers no mind
'Cause all they wanna do is put your mind on cloud nine
Put your head up high and your feet on the ground
You don't have to be like everybody else to be down
Stay in school
G: Don't be no fool
A: Don't lose your temper
G: And keep your cool
A: Follow your heart
G: And not your friends
A: And some of your friends
G: Could lead you into dead ends"
A: The other day my father said, "Son, God bless your soul
Our life is gettin' tougher and the world is cold"
I said, "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, what do you mean?" He said,
G: "You ain't got nothin' 'less you got the green"
A: I realise to myself things are gonna be hard
So each and every day I pray to God
I say, "Now I lay me down to sleep
G: I give the Lord my soul to keep
A: If I should die before I wake
G: Take me to heaven 'cause I need a break
A: But if you let me live to another morn
G: I'd like to know what's goin' on
Chorus 2:
What's goin' on, I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
Tell me what's goin' on, I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
25 years and my life is still
trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this
Brotherhood of man
For whatever that means
And so I cry somethimes when I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out what's in my head
And I'm, I am feeling a little peculiar
So I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
What's goin' on
And I say hey....
And I say hey what's goin' on
And I say hey....
I said hey what's goin' on
Oooh....
Oooh....
And I try, oh my God do I try
I try all the time
In this institution
And I pray, oh my God do I pray
I pray every single day
For a revolution
And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out what's in my head
And I'm, I am feeling a little peculiar
So I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
What's goin'on
And I say hey...
And I say hey what's goin' on
And I say hey...
I said hey what's goin' on
And I say hey...
And I say hey what's goin' on
And I say hey...
I said hey what's goin' on
Oooh....
25 years and my life is still
trying to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
[Hook: Peaches]
Bet you don't know, what's going on
She can't love you, like I do
(can't tell you everything, that's going on
Why all this drama, in my life)
[Mr. 3-2:]
Now baby you got to do right, in this life I live
But you want me to get married, shack up and have kids
When you already know, I got some'ing at home
And you can't break that up, so leave it alone
Before I'm gone, cause you knew this wouldn't last forever
I told you how it was going down, when I first met ya
In the beauty shop, running your mouth like you crazy
So word could get back, to my number one lady
You always tripping, bout every lil' thang
Like spending quality time, and saying that I've changed
Constantly you complain, cause I'm out all night
But player run through my blood, even though it ain't right
So much drama in my life, baby if you only knew
But I told you off top, what we was gone do
How thangs was gon roll, but now your memory's lost
Cause you came to realize, you just a late night toss
[Hook]
[Mike D:]
Let's get the stress off your chest, cause you moving too fast
Addicted and sprung, the way I...that ass
And you working so low, no need to expose
We undercover like Brasco, R. Kelly's "Down Low"
You number two, but I treat you like my ace baby
What else you want in a nigga but dick, hell I got's a lady
You got me going crazy, blowing up celly's and beepers
Conversating with my peoples, bout this thang between us
But I told you from giddy-o, you will never be equal
To my main thang, but you consist on playing all these silly mind games
Trying to have me for yourself, and that's a damn shame
You off the chain, lil' mama
[Peaches:]
(can't tell you everything, about a player's life)
Why baby, when you know I can do you right
(baby you're my type, but you second in my life)
Don't matter, cause I ain't trying to be your wife
(you don't know), said you don't know
(you don't know babe)
She can't love you, like I can
Noooo heyyy, ooh yeah
Bet you don't know what's going on
She can't love you, like I do
[H.A.W.K.:]
I'm on a ten city tour, in my Bentley Azur
You smell so pure, anyone can be lured
But you insecure, and a little immature
And nervous, in the presence of this carnisour
And pain endured, ain't suppose to be
Do I sense jealousy, from the second lady
Uh-uh baby, you need to kill that drama
Cause girl I got a wife, you just my lil' mama
You already got in the Benz, in this lil' twist
You know all about her, she don't know you exist
This hating got me pissed, you need to hold your composure
I'm riding with my honey, looking over my shoulder
This fling is over, cause I done already peeped it
You couldn't be like Victoria, and keep this secret
I patiently beeped it, but I didn't call back
I know opposites attract, you need to cut me some slack
[Hook]
[Peaches:]
(how you know, baby you don't know
About every damn thang, that's going on)
How you know, baby when I know
About every damn thang, that's going on
(how you know, baby you don't know
About every damn thang, that's going on)
What you want, I got babe
What you need, I got it baby
I bet you don't know, bet you don't know hey
Oh she can't love you, she can't love you
(heeeeey-yeeeah), yeeeeah
(too-too much drama yeah)
Too much drama, baby tell me
(too much baby), yeeeah-yeah-yeah
Too much drama, (yeeah-yeah-ay)
Whoa-whoa-oh-oh yeah
It's 3am I start to cry
I'm alone again
I try so hard not to fall in love
But here I am
As you couldn't even pretend like you can if this was the end
All the things you said to me won't even matter
Do what you want
Coz I'm not gonna save you baby
What's going on?
We don't care , we don't fight
We don't even no what's wrong or right now baby
What's going on?
What's going on?
There's nothing else I can say
What can I do?
We might have worked out some day
But it takes two
And you couldn't even pretend like you can if this was the end
All the things you said to me won't even matter
Do what you want
Coz I'm not gonna save you baby
What's going on?
We don't care , we don't fight
We don't even no what's wrong or right now baby
What's going on?
What's going on?
What's going on?
All the things you said to me wouldn't even matter
But I couldn't even pretend that I can if this is the end
I'm not gonna save you
All the things you said to me won't even matter
Do what you want
Coz I'm not gonna save you baby
What's going on?
We don't care , we don't fight
We don't even no what's wrong or right now baby
What's going on?
What's going on?
All the things you said to me won't even matter
Do what you want
Coz I'm not gonna save you baby
What's going on?
We don't care , we don't fight
We don't even no what's wrong or right now baby
What's going on?
What's going on?
Mother, mother, there_s too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother, there_s far too many of you dying
You know we_ver got to find a way
To bring some lovin_ here today, hey
Father, father, we don_t need to escalate
War is not the answer, for only love can conquer hate
You know we_ve got to find a way
To bring some lovin_ here today
CHORUS #1:
Picket lines and picket signs
Don_t punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh what_s going on, what_s going on
Yeah, what_s going on, ah, what_s going on
Ahhh....
Mother, mother, everybody thinks we_re wrong
Ah but who are they to judge us
Simply _cos our hair is long
Ah you know we_ver got to find a way
To brind some understanding here today
CHORUS #2:
Picket lines and picket signs
Don_t punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
What_s going on, yeah what_s going on
Tell me what_s going on, I_ll tell you what_s going on
What's Going On
Tell Me
People Dying
People Crying
Lord help us
Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Oh, brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
That's Right
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today
Oh my father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today
Barricades, can't block our way
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
Oh what's going on
What's going on
Yeah what's going on
Ahh what's going on
What's going on in a world filled with pain
Where's the love for which we pray
What's going on
When our children can't play
Homeless can't eat
There's got to be a better way
What's going on
When we politically blind
Can't see the signs of endangered times
What's going on
Ah tell me
What's going on in the world today
I'd rather be dead
Than turn my head away
We gotta first world vision to complete, to lift our
Hands in the air and cry for a switch
Father, father
Father help us, come on
Everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Together we can all be strong
United we stand, United we fall
Oh you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Barricades can't block our way
Don't punish me with brutality
Baby talk to me
So you can see
Yeah, what's going on
Hey, what's going on
Somebody tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's goin' on-uh
What's going on 'cross seas
Every minute a child dies by this disease
In record numbers indeed
Got momma's crying out please
My baby hold on
My child ain't done nothing wrong
Still I want to holler
Ask them why they don't bother
Oh no, oh no
Make me turn to my father
And ask him why they all got a trapped soul
I can feel what was bothering Marvin
Why his words forever remain
Dealing with these modern day problems
'Cause of ignorance surrounding me and my constituents
Too many infected
Too many lives diminishing
Nobody say Protestants, Jews, Blacks, and Whites, Latinos and Asians
Pray together
Less fight
We better unite
As genocide chemical war
And the rich and the poor
Know that God delivers a cure
It's a shame our reality is devastating
People praying for a cure
Dying while they're waiting
Ask the Lord for the comfort and strength to face it
All the kids with dreams
Won't get the chance to chase it
Makes me sad
Think about the lives they would've had
Think about the orphan babies got no moms and dads
How can we sit back and not try to make it right
We gotta come together
We gotta fight for life
Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
We got human beings using humans for a bomb
But everyone wanna live
Don't nobody really want to die
You feeling me right
I can't be watching people die
(die)
And watching people cry
Let me break it down for a minute
If there's enough room here for you and me
There's plenty of room for some humanity
Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on

My working days are over and I might live somewhere
Tomorrow on my shoulders another day to bear
Forever and all over I feel like
Johnny
My face upon a poster in some window in
Calais
Secret meetings forge ahead
Making plans for some tomorrow
And opposition intervenes
In the form of youth and passion
The brows are frowning
It's a risky affair
'Til tongues conclude, the same old fashion
we're left until we're drowning.
Slip away and make plans of our own
Slip away and make plans of our own
Won't someone tell us, what's going on.
Strangers turned a blind eye
They didn't want to know the truth
While others search for missing answers
And venturing too far away-
The fools are laughing
It's a secret affair
We'll take whatever comes our way
'Cause we're not afraid of dying
What's going on?
What is going on?
What's going on - what's going on
What's going on - what's going on
(by Marvin Gaye)
Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today - Ya
Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me, so you can see
Oh, what's going on
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Ah, what's going on
In the mean time
Right on, baby
Right on
Right on
Father, father, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
What's going on
Ya, what's going on
Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on - Uh
Right on baby
