What's Going On Lyrics

What’s going on with the world today?

There’s so much trouble we the people got a lot to say

What’s going on with the world today?

There’s so much hurt we the people got to stop and pray

 

The hate, discrimination, racism, and stealing

This is what I’m fighting for. Injustice is what I’m feeling

I can’t stop, won’t stop. I can’t give up, no!

I’ll keep marching on ’till I reach the top, ya see

 

I’m slipping, I’m gripping, I can’t breathe anymore

I’m punching underwater. It’s a never-ending war

I stand strong to fight for what is right

It doesn’t matter skin color, black, yellow, brown, red, or white

 

Now where is everybody who’s supposed to be in charge?

They’re pointing fingers, putting blame, just looking good and living large

They talk the talk but never walk the walk. They never stop

Their lack of actions speaks louder than words. Now here’s my thought

 

I’ve got a voice, it’s my heart to be heard

I’m here to make a difference, this is what I deserve, ya see

I’m speaking my mind, to find and help the blind

This is me, can’t you see. I just wanna be free, yeah!

 

I wake up every day to do what is right and sacrifice

My blood sweat and tears are the only things that gratifies

You and me, eye to eye and unite, we’re holding hands standing strong, fighting the good fight

 

Love over hate, faith over fear

Hope is all I got, but I’m far from near, ya see

This is our time, together we stand tall. Peace, love, and justice for all, yeah!
