"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 want to die 
But neither do I, f*ck 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 f*ck is goin on? 

Chorus 2X (to fade)
