Oh what's going on

What's going on

Yeah what's going on

Ahh what's going on



[Ja Rule:]

What's going on in a world filled with pain

Where's the love for which we pray

What's going on

When our children can't play

Homeless can't eat

There's got to be a better way

What's going on

When we politically blind

Can't see the signs of endangered times

What's going on



[Nelly Furtado:]

Ah tell me

[Second chorus]

Yeah, what's going on

Hey, what's going on

Somebody tell me what's going on

I'll tell you what's goin' on-uh



[Nelly:]

What's going on 'cross seas

Every minute a child dies by this disease

In record numbers indeed

Got momma's crying out please

My baby hold on

My child ain't done nothing wrong

Still I want to holler

Ask them why they don't bother

Oh no, oh no

Make me turn to my father

And ask him why they all got a trapped soul



[Nas:]

I can feel what was bothering Marvin

Why his words forever remain

Dealing with these modern day problems

'Cause of ignorance surrounding me and my constituents

Too many infected

Too many lives diminishing

Nobody say Protestants, Jews, Blacks, and Whites, Latinos and Asians

Pray together

Less fight

We better unite

As genocide chemical war

And the rich and the poor

Know that God delivers a cure



[Eve:]

It's a shame our reality is devastating

People praying for a cure

Dying while they're waiting

Ask the Lord for the comfort and strength to face it

All the kids with dreams

Won't get the chance to chase it

Makes me sad

Think about the lives they would've had

Think about the orphan babies got no moms and dads

How can we sit back and not try to make it right

We gotta come together

We gotta fight for life



[Fred Durst:]

Somebody tell me what's going on

(what's going on)

We got human beings using humans for a bomb

But everyone wanna live

Don't nobody really want to die

You feeling me right

I can't be watching people die

(die)

And watching people cry

Let me break it down for a minute

If there's enough room here for you and me

There's plenty of room for some humanity



Somebody tell me what's going on

(what's going on)

Somebody tell me what's going on

(what's going on)

Somebody tell me what's going on

(what's going on)

Somebody tell me what's going on

(what's going on)

Somebody tell me what's going on

(what's going on)

Somebody tell me what's going on

(what's going on)

Somebody tell me what's going on

(what's going on)

Somebody tell me what's going on

(what's going on)
