    Текст песни What's Going On
    Verse 1: Mike G
    It's a cryin' shame, brothers takin' life as a game
    Growing up against the law, but no-one knows who's to blame
    Dealin' drugs on the corner, you don't have to, but you wanna
    A meal is hard to make, but you tell yourself you're gonna
    Dealing 12 to 12, day into evening
    I wonder how you continue to be grieving
    Your meal is made and it's time to chill
    You buy the black Mercedes Benz with the gold to the grill
    Cruisin' up the ave while your friends get jealous
    You find out, you quickly get restless
    You buy a gun, it doesn't help but hurt you
    Because your so-called friend rattled on you
    You're in the pen serving 10 to 20
    Your boy snatched your girl and put use to your money
    You're out for teen, but what does it mean?
    You're just a wasted, young brother who lost it all on a dream
    Chorus: (sampled from What's Going On by Marvin Gaye)
    What's goin' on, I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
    Yeah, what's goin' on, I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
    Verse 2: Afrika, Mike G
    My blood brother is bleeding, it's a cryin' shame
    Out on the street tryin' to play the game
    Formally an in-mate straight from upstate
    Can't stop him now 'cause you see it's just too late
    He's on the run and he's got a gun
    Stay out his way unless you want some
    See, he's gettin' older, a bit more bolder
    Got his name written up in the 5-0 folder
    A big Christmas list of all the crime's he's committed
    He says he didn't do it, but we know he did it
    Summons his lawyers, fingerprints, bung shots
    Lookin' for my brother, yo, he's at the drug spots
    Livin' off that cheap Chinese food
    He says he only bumps the people when he's in the mood
    Runnin' 'round with his crews and his 2-2's
    I saw him last night in the prime time news
    Shot and killed by a
    His birth to the earth was a big mistake
    Now, history was not my favourite subject
    I used to flip through the pages and get upset
    Seein' little of black and too much of the other
    (They tried to brainwash you) Picture that, a jungle brother
    Read this, read that, answer question 3
    But when I got to 3, it had nothin' to do with me
    Somethin' was wrong, and I knew it all along
    Now tell me (please) what's goin' on
    Repeat chorus
    Verse 3: Afrika, Mike G
    A: Now, I've been told all the do's and don't-do-not's
    My mother, hallelujah, she called the shots
    She said, "Don't play with guns and play with knives
    And most of all, don't play with other people's wives
    When you're walkin' down the street, pay the pushers no mind
    'Cause all they wanna do is put your mind on cloud nine
    Put your head up high and your feet on the ground
    You don't have to be like everybody else to be down
    Stay in school
    G: Don't be no fool
    A: Don't lose your temper
    G: And keep your cool
    A: Follow your heart
    G: And not your friends
    A: And some of your friends
    G: Could lead you into dead ends"
    A: The other day my father said, "Son, God bless your soul
    Our life is gettin' tougher and the world is cold"
    I said, "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, what do you mean?" He said,
    G: "You ain't got nothin' 'less you got the green"
    A: I realise to myself things are gonna be hard
    So each and every day I pray to God
    I say, "Now I lay me down to sleep
    G: I give the Lord my soul to keep
    A: If I should die before I wake
    G: Take me to heaven 'cause I need a break
    A: But if you let me live to another morn
    G: I'd like to know what's goin' on
    Chorus 2:
    What's goin' on, I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
    Tell me what's goin' on, I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I-I
