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 |
| 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 |
