What's Goin' On?/Softly

[Part I: What's Goin' On]

[Intro: Marvin Gaye]
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some loving here today

[Verse 1: gamemast15r]
Chalk outlines, bodies fresh out on the streets
Corrupt cops, please don't shoot, I can't breathe
But not every officer wants to go on the prowl
And shoot every black man, woman or child
This killing is foul, the victors get all the spoils
I guess that's why we went into the middle east for the oil
It's another Vietnam for our soldiers, please don't send em' back
Another useless conflict, it isn't anything less than that
Yes I'm white, no I'm not a republican or a democrat
Either extreme is bad, like how Israel views Arafat
And the same likewise, conflict is at a high rise
We die by guns and bullets, 3D into our white eyes
And the matter of fact is, the left is killed off by disease
Why are we crippling our infrastructures at our knees
Sadly, we can't change the human race, so as far as I can see
There's no stopping all the killings, there's not a way that we can leave

[Interlude: Martin Luther King Speech]
But one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languishing in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. So we have come here today to dramatize a shameful condition

[Verse 2: Almighty U-Sorcerer]
Sixteen shots, like Mos Def, running 16 Blocks
Police say I'm a monkey, leave me hanging at the treetop
Got me heated like a teapot, black man in a car, not speed racing
But you pull him over, man, the fuck is in police training?
I have a dream that I'll see a black man on a spaceship
Instead of one rotting on a slave ship
And if you ask me, the half breed
The bus, I don't take back seats, steady representing black sheep
And I left the game with broken hearts
But I never let the driver back me up like Rosa Parks
I'm toting iron like Tony Stark
They tryna burn me down like Joan of Arc, I got the smoke alarms
But I still tote the same smoke, I got a coat of arms
They think I'm breaking into these Mazda's and Toyota cars
I just eat granola bars, sick of the discrimination
And nobody doin' investigation, this is their entertainment

[Outro]
Please don't shoot, I can't breathe
Please don't shoot, I can't breathe
Please don't shoot, I can't breathe
Please don't shoot, I can't breathe

[Part II: Softly]

[Intro: Lauryn Hill]
Strumming my pain with his fingers
Singing my life with his words
Killing me softly with his song
Killing me softly with his song
Telling my whole life with his words
Killing me softly with his song

[Verse: Almighty U-Sorcerer]
Human beings in a riot
Opinions of the civilians are seeming biased
They want me incarcerated for my decision
To say fuck a politician, let's take a minute
But what's a riot to a senator?
Them niggas get riots on the regular
Splendid, country run by a menace
Take it to the senate? They pathetic
Cause what's the senate to the president?
A racist antifeminist, malevolent
He in charge now, just know I don't let my guard down
He can have the White House, my crib a trap guard house
And what's the president to a non-believer?
I don't believe in the words, I do not like the speakers
He could come to my neighborhood and fix it a bit
But still if he come around me I'mma slit his wrist, real shit

[Outro: Malcolm X Speech]
We declare our right on this earth to be a man, to be a human being, to be respected as a human being, to be given the rights of a human being in this society, on this earth, in this day, which we intend to bring into existence
