What's Going On

"What's.. what's.."

"What's going on? What's going on?" (4X)

[Canibus]

The club scene is a regular hangout spot for unclean

women in tight jeans frontin like queens

Chickenheads who should be home takin care of their eggs

Instead, they always in the club flirtin with men

No I don't care about no hype-no-holic bitches; all I'm concerned with

is who's bringin they burners in to burn niggaz

While security practice is mediocre proportions

Niggaz is still stealthily sneakin they firearms in

Often, niggaz be acting like they're marksmen

but couldn't hit a stationary object

So how you gonna hit a movin target? Especially if you alcoholic

The party was coconuts until you spoiled it

Nigga what's goin on?

Chorus: Canibus + samples

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

[Can] What's goin on these days?

[Can] Can't do no hip-hop shows without the gunplay

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

[Can] What's goin on? Why is everybody packin?

"While you rappin, I'm busy tryin to sneak the gat in" -> Havoc

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

[Can] What's goin on these days?

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

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

[Can] Before you blaze, think about the lives at stake

"You got a gun up in your waist, please don't shoot up the place" -> Biggie

[Canibus]

Aiyyo

The other night I seen some kid gettin loud, runnin his mouth

Til somebody pulled the thang-thang out, then shots rang out

This nigga in front of me got his back blown out

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

I had to scream on the bouncers to carry him out

They said, "Nah, them niggaz is still bustin in the crowd"

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

Prayin to Allah cause they don't wanna die

But neither do I, fuck it, I gotta be here

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

I swear, y'all niggaz need to chill with that

Bringing your handguns to every God damn club I perform at

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 as an excuse to shut down rap

What's goin on?

Chorus

[Canibus]

Yo

All of my hip-hop niggaz should feel what I'm speakin upon

A subject that was touched by Nas and Pharoahe Monch

Bullets - bein shot from guns, guns bein carried by thugs

who come to the clubs to shed blood

Bear in mind, 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 millisec'

By some thug cats who didn't take that

by bustin a gat, they could render somebody handicapped

and trapped, in a wheelchair over nothin

With the gift of walkin and runnin snatched from them

What the fuck is goin on?
