What’s Going On
[Intro: Bobby Womack]
What's-, what's-
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?

[Verse 1: Canibus]
The club scene is a regular hangout spot for unclean
Women in tight jeans fronting like queens
Chickenheads who should be home takin care of their eggs
Instead, they always in the club flirting with men
Now I don't care about no hype-no-holic bitches; all I'm concerned with
Is who's bringing they burners in to burn n***as
While security practices mediocre precautions
N***as is still stealthily sneaking they firearms in
Often, n***as 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 spoiled it
N***a, what's going on?

[Chorus: Canibus, Bobby Womack, Havoc &
The Notorious B.I.G.]
What's going on? What's going on?
What's goin on these days?
Can't do no hip-hop shows without the gunplay
What's going on? What's going on?
What's goin on? Why is everybody packin?
While you rappin, I'm busy tryin' to sneak the gat in
What's going on? What's going on?
What's goin on these days?
Can't do no hip-hop shows without the gunplay
What's going on? What's going on?
Before you blaze, think about the lives at stake
You got a gun up in your waist, please don't shoot up the place
[Verse 2: Canibus]
Ayo, the other night I seen some kid getting loud, running his mouth
Til' somebody pulled the thang-thang out, then shots rang out
This n***a 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 on the bouncers to carry him out
They said, "Nah, them n***as 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 rap artist, it's a vital part of my career
I swear, y'all n***as 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 going on?

[Chorus: Canibus, Bobby Womack, Havoc &
The Notorious B.I.G.]
What's going on? What's going on?
What's goin on these days?
Can't do no hip-hop shows without the gunplay
What's going on? What's going on?
What's goin on? Why is everybody packin?
While you rappin, I'm busy tryin' to sneak the gat in
What's going on? What's going on?
What's goin on these days?
Can't do no hip-hop shows without the gunplay
What's going on? What's going on?
Before you blaze, think about the lives at stake
You got a gun up in your waist, please don't shoot up the place
[Verse 3: Canibus]
Yo, all of my hip-hop n***as should feel what I'm speaking upon
A subject that was touched by Nas and Pharoahe Monch
Bullets - being shot from guns, guns being carried by thugs
Who come to the clubs to shed blood
Bear in mind, that everytime a n***a 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 busting a gat, they could render somebody handicapped
And trapped, in a wheelchair over nothing
With the gift of walking and running snatched from them
What the fuck is going on?

[Chorus: Canibus, Bobby Womack, Havoc &
The Notorious B.I.G.]
What's going on? What's going on?
What's goin on these days?
Can't do no hip-hop shows without the gunplay
What's going on? What's going on?
What's goin on? Why is everybody packin?
While you rappin, I'm busy tryin' to sneak the gat in
What's going on? What's going on?
What's goin on these days?
Can't do no hip-hop shows without the gunplay
What's going on? What's going on?
Before you blaze, think about the lives at stake
You got a gun up in your waist, please don't shoot up the place
What's going on? What's going on?
What's goin on these days?
Can't do no hip-hop shows without the gunplay
What's going on? What's going on?
What's goin on? Why is everybody packin?
While you rappin, I'm busy tryin' to sneak the gat in
What's going on? What's going on?
What's goin on these days?
Can't do no hip-hop shows without the gunplay
What's going on? What's going on?
Before you blaze, think about the lives at stake
