Seems like everybody's got a problem No one knows how But, we all want to solve 'em You could give a dime Give a hand Or give a sh** Or could look away and never deal with it For example This girl is pretty fly for a white gal All the guys want her even though she's a juvenite She's really kinda sad and just don't care 'Cause the only one she wants is her best friend Claire What's going on? What's going on? Ready or not - NOT The world moves on and on and on Yo, what's going on? There's nothing much to me I'm simple like you are, ordinary My tired eyes can see That time may fly And what's left is Meant to be I'm looking out You're looking in It's taken more then time To erase the stain And it's never been the same Any city A girl turns 17, goes to a party She and her girls are drinkin barcardi Ever since she walked through the door All the guys have been scoping and flexing tryin' to score But she's a good girl So she won't have none of that She takes another sip But has no clue of the spike from the G to the H to the B She wakes up in the morning bruised and raped in the street What's going on? What's going on? Ready or not - NOT The world moves on and on and on Yo, what's going on? [Pre-chorus] [Chorus] Your town A kid that you know goes to school He's really kinda shy and not that cool He knows what it's like to look in from the outside Inside, he just wants someone to confide But everyone's busy and 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 (dumbfound) What's going on? What's going on? Ready or not - NOT The world moves on and on and on Yo, what's going on? [Pre-chorus] [Chorus]
