Lyrics (Crack It) Something Going On - Bomfunk MC’s

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
Ah 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
What's goin′ on in the world today?
I′d rather be dead than to turn my head away
We got this first world vision too
Comfy to lift up 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 mommas 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, let′s 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
(What′s going on)
