Repeated Male Voice:

What (8x)

Another Male Vocalist:

What what what's going on? What's going on?

What's going on? What's going on?

What's going on? What's going on?

What's going on? What's going on?

Canibus:

The club scene is a regular hang out spot for unclean

Women in tight jeans fronting like queens

Chickenheads who should be home taking care of their eggs

Instead they always in the club flirting with men

So I don't care about no hypnoholic bitches

All I'm concerned with is just bringing they burners in to burn niggas

While security practice its mediocre performance

Niggas is still stealthfully sneaking their firearms in

Often, niggas be acting like they're marksmen

But couldn't hit a stationary object

So how you gonna hit a moving target

Especially if you alcoholic

The party was coconuts until you started

Nigga, what's going on?

Male Vocalist:

What's going on? What's going on?

Canibus:

What's going on these days?

Can't do no hip hop shows without the gunplay.

Male Vocalist:

What's going on? What's going on?

Canibus:

What's going on why ain't everybody macking?

Havoc (slowed):

While you rapping, I'm busy trying to sneak the gat in.

Male Vocalist:

What's going on? What's going on?

Canibus:

What's going on these days?

Can't do no hip hop shows without the gunplay.

Before you blaze think about the lives you've saved

Biggie:

You got a gun up in your waist please don't shoot up the place

Canibus:

Ayo, the other night I seen some kid getting loud

Running his mouth

Till somebody pulled the bang bang out

The shots rang out

This nigga in front of me got his back blown out

On the floor with a piece of his small intestines hanging out

I had to scream at one of the bouncers to carry him out

They said, "Nah, them niggas is still busting in the crowd."

Then they ducked down close to the ground as the bullets whizzed by

Praying to Allah cause they don't wanna die

But neither do I

Fuck it, I gotta be here

As a rapper artist, it's a vital part of my career

I swear

Ya'll niggas need to chill with that

Bringing your handguns to every God damn club out the format

Everything from semi-autos to macs

Chrome or black

Plastic gats and all that

Believe it or not the government wants that

So they can use that in the dispute to shut down rap

What's going on?

Before you blaze think about the lives you've saved

Biggie:

You got a gun up in your waist please don't shoot up the place

Canibus:

Yo, all of my hip hop niggas should feel what I'm speaking upon

?Or subjectively touched by ?

Bullets

Being shot by guns, guns being carried by thugs

Who come to the club to shed blood

Then remind that everytime a nigga reaches for chrome

He jeopardizes more lives than his own

To some this record ain't even relevant

Until you experience how a bullet can shatter your dreams in a

milli-sec

By some thug cats who didn't take that

By busting a gat

They could render somebody handicap

And trapped in a wheel chair over nothing

With the gifts of walking and running snatched from them

What the fuck is going on?
