Lyric What s Going On?
Just another day
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 and on and on and on and on
Yo, what s going on?
There s nothing much to me
I m simple like you 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 and 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, she goes to a party
She and her girls are drinking bacardi
Ever since she walked through the door
All the guys have been 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 and on and on and on and on
Yo, what s going on?
There s nothing much to me
I m simple like you simple like you are, ordinary
My tired eyes can see that time may fly
And what s left is meant to be
And I m looking out and you re looking in
It s taken more then time to erase the stain
And it s never been the same
In a small town, a kid that you know goes to school
He s really kinda shy and he s 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
What s going on? What s going on?

It s taken more then time to erase the stain
And it s never been the same
I m looking out and you re looking in
It s taken more then time to erase the stain
And it s never been the same
