What's Going On (Original)

[Intro: Bobby Womack] What's-, what's- What's going on? What's going on? What's going on? What's going on? What's going on? What's going on? What's going on? What's going on? [Verse 1: Canibus] The club scene is a regular hangout spot for unclean Women in tight jeans fronting like queens Chickenheads who should be home takin care of their eggs Instead, they always in the club flirting with men Now I don't care about no hype-no-holic bitches; all I'm concerned with Is who's bringing they burners in to burn niggas While security practices mediocre precautions Niggas is still stealthily sneaking they firearms in Often, niggas be acting like they're marksmen But couldn't hit a stationary objеct So how you gonna hit a moving target? Especially if you alcoholic The party was coconuts until you spoilеd it Nigga, what's going on? [Chorus: Canibus, Bobby Womack, Havoc & The Notorious B.I.G.] What's going on? What's going on? What's goin on these days? Can't do no hip-hop shows without the gunplay What's going on? What's going on? What's goin on? Why is everybody packin? While you rappin, I'm busy tryin' to sneak the gat in What's going on? What's going on? What's goin on these days? Can't do no hip-hop shows without the gunplay What's going on? What's going on? Before you blaze, think about the lives at stake You got a gun up in your waist, please don't shoot up the place [Verse 2: Canibus] Ayo, the other night I seen some kid getting loud, running his mouth Til' somebody pulled the thang-thang out, then shots rang out This nigga in front of me got his back blown out On the floor with a piece of his small intestines hanging out I had to scream on the bouncers to carry him out They said, "Nah, them niggas is still busting in the crowd" Then they ducked down close to the ground as the bullets whizzed by Praying to Allah cause they don't wanna die But neither do I, fuck it, I gotta be here As a rap artist, it's a vital part of my career I swear, y'all niggas need to chill with that Bringing your handguns to every God damn club I perform at Everything from semi-autos to macs Chrome or black, plastic gats and all that Believe it or not - the government wants that So they can use that as an excuse to shut down rap What's going on? [Chorus: Canibus, Bobby Womack, Havoc & The Notorious B.I.G.] What's going on? What's going on? What's goin on these days? Can't do no hip-hop shows without the gunplay What's going on? What's going on? What's goin on? Why is everybody packin? While you rappin, I'm busy tryin' to sneak the gat in What's going on? What's going on? What's goin on these days? Can't do no hip-hop shows without the gunplay What's going on? What's going on? Before you blaze, think about the lives at stake You got a gun up in your waist, please don't shoot up the place [Verse 3: Canibus] Yo, all of my hip-hop niggas should feel what I'm speaking upon A subject that was touched by Nas and Pharoahe Monch Bullets - being shot from guns, guns being carried by thugs Who come to the clubs to shed blood Bear in mind, that everytime a nigga reaches for chrome He jeopardizes more lives than his own To some this record ain't even relevant until you experience How a bullet can shatter your dreams in a millisec' By some thug cats who didn't take that By busting a gat, they could render somebody handicapped And trapped, in a wheelchair over nothing With the gift of walking and running snatched from them What the fuck is going on? [Chorus: Canibus, Bobby Womack, Havoc & The Notorious B.I.G.] What's going on? What's going on? What's goin on these days? Can't do no hip-hop shows without the gunplay What's going on? What's going on? What's goin on? Why is everybody packin? While you rappin, I'm busy tryin' to sneak the gat in What's going on? What's going on? What's goin on these days? Can't do no hip-hop shows without the gunplay What's going on? What's going on? Before you blaze, think about the lives at stake You got a gun up in your waist, please don't shoot up the place What's going on? What's going on? What's goin on these days? Can't do no hip-hop shows without the gunplay What's going on? What's going on? What's goin on? Why is everybody packin? While you rappin, I'm busy tryin' to sneak the gat in What's going on? What's going on? What's goin on these days? Can't do no hip-hop shows without the gunplay What's going on? What's going on? Before you blaze, think about the lives at stake
