Somebody tell me what's going on

I'll tell you what's going on

Nelly:

What's going on 'cross the seas?

Every minute a child dies by this disease

In record numbers, indeed

Got mommas 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 safe, Protestants, Jews, Blacks and Whites, Latinos

and Asians

Pray together

Less fight

We better unite

As genocide and chemical war

And the rich and the poor

know that God delivers a cure

Eve:

It's a shame our reality is devestating

People praying for a cure,

dying while they're waiting

Ask the Lord for the comfort and the 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 (of Limp Bizkit):

Somebody tell me what's going on

(What's going on?)

We got human beings using humans for a bomb

But everybody wanna live

Don't nobody really wanna die

You feeling me, right?

(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 for me

there's plenty of room for some humanity

All artists, at various times:

Somebody tell me what's going on

What's going on?
