[Verse 1]
What's going [Dm]on?
[Am]
[Dm][Am]
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

[Verse 2]
You [D]rig the enig[Dm]ma can't[Am] 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

[Verse 3]
that ain't last;
[Am]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;

[Verse 4]
No more good times, no more time, [Am]Too
far to find,
you're almost blind,
You can't see what spot that the trap
is in
[C](Hey bra!)What's happening!

[Verse 5]
You [D]had it mapped out,
your plans [Am]get torn,
You stayed up for days
and now your dreams are gone
You [D]said you quit,
[Am]stated your word is bond
(Hey bro) what's going [Dm]on?
[Am]
[Dm][C][Am]

[Interlude 1]
What's going on?
[Dm][Am]
[Dm][Am]
[D]
My neighbor[Am]hood don't look so good I'll

[Verse 6]
[Am]
find a way out.. yeah, I would if I could,
But the government is doing a project
so I live in the projects;

[Verse 7]
Where we [Am]fight for elbow
room to the doom,
Try to live long but you die too soon,
I might [D]not be [Dm]alive to [Am]see 25,
Taught at ten to make money and strive;

[Verse 8]
I sold [Am]tapes at school
and made some ends
Met a lot of skins and even
made some friends,
Cool, 'cause now I got
a crew to run wit,
Break a couple of rules,
have crazy fun wit;
But every now and then, they give my knuckle game a test,

[Verse 9]
[Am]But
I won't fess,
I just get rid [D]of the stress!
And then shake hand[Am]s like a man,
'Cause it's a family thing,
only the crew would understand!

[Verse 10]
But [Am]you [Dm]had a one on one
[Am]fight wit drugs,
When we ain't cool no more,
we buss slugs,
[D]Clip after [Dm]clip,
until [Am]one of us is gone
(Hey bra!) what's going
[Dm]on?[Am]
[Dm][D][Am]
Yo, what's going [Dm]on?
[Am]
[Dm][Am]

[Verse 11]
The crime rate in [Dm]New York
State [Am]elevate,
A city filled wit hate,
more deaths accumulate,
[D]Drug wars [Am]daily, a lot of blood spilt,
Kids on the playground shot

[Verse 12]
down and kilt!
[D]Nobody want[Am]s to live on the
1st 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

[Verse 13]
Rubbed out in a quest for clout [Am]The rest'll
be drugged out,
this is bugged out!
Half of the projects is dead or locked up,
Kids getting kidnapped

[Verse 14]
and then found chopped up.
[Am]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!

[Verse 15]
(Hey bra!) what's going [D]on?
[Am]
(Hey bra!) what's going on?
[Dm][Am]

[Outro 1]
(Hey bra!) what's going on?
[D][Am]
