What's Going 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 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]
