Seems like everybodys 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 shit
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 shes a juvenite
Shes really kinda sad and just dont care
Cause the only one she wants is her best friend Claire

Whats going on?
Whats going on?
Ready or not - NOT
The world moves on and on and on
Yo, whats going on?

Theres nothing much to me
Im simple like you are, ordinary
My tired eyes can see
That time may fly
And whats left is
Meant to be
Im looking out
Youre looking in
Its taken more then time
To erase the stain
And its never been the same

Any city
A girl turns 17, goes to a party
She and he best friend are drinking bacardi
Ever since she walked through the door
All the guys have been scoping and flexing tryin to score
But shes a good girl
So she wont 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

Whats going on?
Whats going on?
Ready or not - NOT
The world moves on and on and on
Yo, whats going on?

[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]

Your town
A kid that you know goes to school
Hes really kinda shy and not that cool
He knows what its like to look in from the outside
Inside, he just wants someone to confide
But everyones busy and no ones got the time
He takes his dads gun and says
"This is how Ill shine"
Boom, boom, boom
And the kids fall down
On the ground
Dumbfound (dumbfound)

Whats going on?
Whats going on?
Ready or not - NOT
The world moves on and on and on
Yo, whats going on?

[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]
