What's going on
Yeah what's going on
Ahh what's going on 

[Ja Rule:]
What's going on in a world filled with pain
Where's the love for which we pray
What's going on
When our children can't play
Homeless can't eat
There's got to be a better way
What's going on
When we politically blind
Can't see the signs of endangered times
What's going on

Hey, what's going on
Somebody tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's goin' on-uh 

[Nelly:]
What's going on 'cross seas
Every minute a child dies by this disease
In record numbers indeed
Got momma's 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 say Protestants, Jews, Blacks, and Whites, Latinos and Asians
Pray together
Less fight 
We better unite
As genocide chemical war 
And the rich and the poor
Know that God delivers a cure 

[Eve:]
It's a shame our reality is devastating
People praying for a cure
Dying while they're waiting
Ask the Lord for the comfort and 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:]
Somebody tell me what's going on 
(what's going on)
We got human beings using humans for a bomb
But everyone wanna live
Don't nobody really want to die
You feeling me 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 me
There's plenty of room for some humanity 

Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)
Somebody tell me what's going on
(what's going on)

"Where Is The Love?"

by The Black Eyes Peas

[Chorus: will.i.am]

People killin', people dyin'

Children hurtin', I hear them cryin'

Can you practice what you preachin'?

Would you turn the other cheek again?

Mama, mama, mama, tell us what the hell is goin' on

Can we all just get along?

Father, Father, Father, help us

Send some guidance from above

Cause people got me, got me questioning

(Where's the love)

[Verse 1: will.i.am (Jamie Foxx & Mary J. Blige)]

Yo, what's going on with the world, momma?

(Where's the love)

Yo, people living like they ain't got no mommas

(Where's the love)

I think they all distracted by the drama and attracted to the trauma, mama

(Where's the love)

I think they don't understand the concept or the meaning of karma

(Where's the love)

[Verse 2: Diddy (Mary J. Blige & Cassie)]

Overseas, yeah, they trying to stop terrorism

(Where's the love)

Over here on the streets, the police shoot

The people put the bullets in 'em

(Where's the love)

But if you only got love for your own race

(Where's the love)

Then you're gonna leave space for others to discriminate

(Where's the love)

[Verse 3: will.i.am]

And to discriminate only generates hate

And when you hate, then you're bound to get irate

Madness is what you demonstrate

And that's exactly how hate works and operates

Man, we gotta set it straight

Take control of your mind, just meditate

And let your soul just gravitate to the love

So the whole world celebrate it

[Chorus: will.i.am, Mary J. Blige, Andra Day, Nicole Scherzinger & Tori Kelly]

People killin' people dyin'

Children hurtin', I hear them cryin'

Can you practice what you preachin'?

Would you turn the other cheek again?

Mama, mama, mama, tell us what the hell is goin' on

Can't we all just get along?

Father, Father, Father, help us

Send some guidance from above

Cause people got me, got me questioning

(Where's the love)

[Verse 4: Taboo (Jessie J & Andra Day)]

It just ain't the same, always in change

(Where's the love)

New days are strange, is the world insane?

(Where's the love)

Nation droppin' bombs killing our little ones

(Where's the love)

Ongoing suffering as the youth die young

(Where's the love)

[Verse 5: Game]

Where's the love when a child gets murdered, or a cop gets knocked down?

Black lives, not now

Everybody matter to me, all races

Y'all don't like what I'm sayin'? Haterade, tall cases

Everybody hate somebody, guess we all racist

Black Eyed Peas do a song about love and y'all hate this

All these protest with different colored faces

We was all born with a heart, why we gotta chase it?

And every time I look around

[Verse 6: Taboo + Ty Dolla $ign (Mary J. Blige & Jessie J)]

Every time I look up, every time I look down

No one's on a common ground

(Where's the love)

And if you never speak truth, then you never know how love sounds

(Where's the love)

And if you never know love, then you never know God, wow

(Where's the love)

Where's the love y'all? I don't, I don't know

Where's the truth y'all? I don't know

[Chorus: Justin Timberlake]

People killin' people dyin'

Children hurtin', I hear them cryin'

Can you practice what you preach?

Would you turn the other cheek?

Father, Father, Father, help us

Send some guidance from above

Cause people got me, got me questioning

(Where's the love, where's the love)

[Bridge: DJ Khaled (Usher, Nicole Scherzinger, will.i.am & Justin Timberlake)]

Love is the key

(Where's the love)

Love is the answer

(Where's the love)

Love is the solution

(Where's the love)

They don't want us to love

(Where's the love)

Love is powerful

(Where's the love)

[Verse 7: A$AP Rocky + Jaden Smith]

My mama asked me why I never vote, never vote

Cause police men want me dead and gone, dead and gone

That election looking like a joke, such a joke, man

And the weed man still sellin' dope, oh no

Somebody gotta give these niggas hope, give us hope

All he ever wanted was a smoke, my gosh

Said he can't breathe with his hands in the air

Layin' on the ground died from a choke

[Verse 8: apl.de.ap + Fergie]

I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders

As I'm gettin' older y'all people gets colder

Most of us only care about money makin'

Selfishness got us followin' the wrong direction

Wrong information always shown by the media

Negative images is the main criteria

Infecting the young minds faster than bacteria

Kids wanna act like what they see in the cinemas

What happened to the love and the values of humanity?

(Where's the love)

What happened to the love and the fairness and equality?

(Where's the love)

Instead of spreading love we're spreading animosity

(Where's the love)

Lack of understanding leading us away from unity

(Where's the love)
