What's Going On?

[Hook]

What's going on?

[Verse 1]

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 bruh!) 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?

[Hook]

[Verse 2]

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 alot of skins and even made some friends

Cool, 'cause now I got a crew to run with

Break a couple of rules, have crazy fun with

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 with drugs

When we ain't cool no more, we bust slugs

Clip after clip, until one of us is gone

(Hey bruh) what's going on?

[Hook]

[Verse 3]

The crime rate in New York State elevate

A city filled with hate, more deaths accumulate

Drug wars daily, a lot of blood spilled

Kids on the playground shot down and killed

Nobody wants to live on the first 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 bruh) What's going on?
