What's Up

on What's Up (2020)

[Spoken:]
I ask a favor for my sex
All I ask from our brother
Is that they keep their feet off our necks

[Sung:]

25 years and my life is still
Tryin' to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
I realized quickly when I knew I should
The world was made up of this brotherhood of man
For whatever that's worth

And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out what's in my head
And I feel a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
"What's going on?"

And I say, hey-ey-ey
Hey-ey-yeah
Said "Hey, what's going on?"
And I say, hey-ey-ey
Hey-ey-yay
Say "Hey, what's going on?"

And I try
Oh my God, do I try
I try all the time
In this institution
And I pray
Oh my God, do I pray
I pray every single day
For a revolution

And so I cry sometimes when I'm lying in bed
Just to get it all out, what's in my head
And I feel a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
"What's going on?"

And I said, hey-ey-ey
Hey-ey-yeah
Said "Hey, what's going on?"
And I say, hey-ey-yeah
Hey-ey-yeah
Said "Hey, what's going on?"
And I say, hey-ey-ey
(And so I wake in the morning and I step outside)
Hey-ey-ey
(Take a deep breath and I get real high)
(And I scream)
Said "Hey, what's going on?"
And I say, hey-ey-ey
(Wake in the morning and step outside)
Hey-ey, yeah yeah yeah
(Take a deep breath and I get real high)
(And I scream)
Said "Hey, what's going on?"

25 years and my life is still
Tryin' to get up that great big hill of hope
For this destination

[Spoken:] Radical social change
