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, alot of blood spilt 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
