 What's happening.. check it out
 It's critical  the situation is pitiful
 Bear in mind  you gotta find somethin spiritual
 We never gain  cause we blame it on the system
 You oughta listen whether Muslim or Christian
 or any other type religion or creed
 Cause what we need is less greed
 We can't continue to kill ourselves
 We gotta build and expand our wealth
 So one more time I'll design a rhyme divine
 to educate and elevate your mind
 Nowadays we gotta fight to live
 Human means we got a right to live
 without the homicide, without the genocide
 Don't tell me let it slide, I'm feelin ghettofied
 So be a soldier of truth
 Protect the lives of our youth

 [Guru]
 What's happening
 In the land of the free, home of the brave
 too many of us reach such early graves
 They tell us to behave, but they don't know
 about the neighborhood drug flow
 They don't know about the drama or about the guns
 I ask how many politicians steal our funds
 and how many officers will turn up corrupt
 The governments don't care, they pass the buck
 I'm growin tired of the trickery
 and the misery, it's makin me kinda sick you see
 But now I meditate, so I can get it straight
 My thoughts penetrate, so I control my fate
 So be advised by the wise and concious one
 We take the easy way out, too often son
 We better get some kind of work ethic
 Realize it and correct it

 What's happening
 From New York to L.A., dead children lay
 Victims of an unfair socie-ty
 But for those who are blessed
 we must correct this mess, or dissapear into nothingness
 We're living in the age of doom
 How many teachers reach all the kids in the classroom?
 The beast is stalking us, but there's no stopping us
 as long as we maintain the strength within us
 Cause we're winners, descendants of the kings
 They try to hinder us from doin our thing
 So get the money, but spend it wisely
 I get ill when the beats hypnotize me
 Realize that the key
 is for each, to master, his own destiny
 Deal with reality, and keep a tight focus
 Cause there's a lot we got to cope with
