What's Goin' On?

Just another day, seems like everybody’s got a problem
And no one knows how but, we all wanna solve 'em
And you can give a dime, give a hand, give a shit
Or you could look away and never deal with it
For example, this girl’s pretty far for a white gal
And all the guys want her though she’s a juvenile
It’s really kinda sad and just don’t care
'Cuz the only one she wants is her best friend Claire
What’s goin' on, what’s goin' on?
Ready or not? Not
The world moves on and on and on
And on and on and on and on
Yo, what’s goin' on?
There’s nothin' much to me
I’m simple like you, ordinary
My tired eyes can see
That time may fly and what’s left is meant to be
And I’m lookin' out and you’re lookin' in
It’s takin' more than time to erase the stain
And it’s never been the same
In any city, a girl turns 17, she goes to a party
She and her girls are drinkin' Bacardi
Ever since she walked through the door
All the guys have been flexin' trying to score
But she’s a good girl, so she won’t have none of that
She takes another sip, but she has no clue
Of the spike from the G to tha H to the B
She wakes up in the morning bruised, raped on the street
What’s goin' on, what’s goin' on?
Ready or not? Not
The world moves on and on and on
And on and on and on
Yo, what’s goin' on?
There’s nothin' much to me
I’m simple like you, ordinary
My tired eyes can see
That time may fly and what’s left is meant to be
And I’m lookin' out and you’re lookin' in
It’s takin' more than time to erase the stain
And it’s never been the same
In a small town, every 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, wants someone to confide
Everyone’s busy, 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?
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 nothin' much to me
I’m simple like you ordinary
My tired eyes can see
That time may fly and what’s left is meant to be
And I’m lookin' out and you’re lookin' in
It’s takin' more than time to erase the stain
And it’s never been the same
I’m lookin' out and you’re lookin' in
It’s takin' more than time to erase the stain
And it’s never been the same
