Lyrics What's Going On? - Rakim , Eric B.
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?
What′s
going
on?
The
crime
rate
in
New
York
State
elevate
A
city
filled
wit
hate,
more
deaths
accumulate
Drug
wars
daily,
alot
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
(Hey
bra!)
what′s
going
on?
(Hey
bra!)
what's
going
on?
(Hey
bra!)
what′s
going
on?
