And just another day
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, give a s***
Or could look away and never deal with it
For example
This girl's pretty fly for a white gal
And all the guys want her even though she's a juvenile
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
and on and on and on and on
Yo, what's going on?
[Pre-chorus:]
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
[Chorus:]
I'm looking out
And you're looking in
It's taken more than time to erase the stain
And it's never been the same
In any city
A girl turns 17, she goes to a party
She and her girls are drinking Bacardi
Ever since she walked through the door
All the guys have been 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
and on and on and on and on
Yo, what's going on?
[Pre-chorus]
[Chorus]
In a small town
A kid that you know goes to school
He's really kinda shy and he's 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
and on and on and on and on
Yo, what's going on?
[Pre-chorus]
