TobyMac - What's Goin Down lyrics

Stop what's that?
Everybody stop
What's that? Everybody

What's goin' down? Tell me what's goin' down
I wa-, I wa-
What's goin' down? Tell me what's goin' down
I wanna, I wanna

Welcome to the world of a kid named Mikey
Who had only one reason to be hated by whitey
(By whitey)
Raised on a farm outside o' South Bend
Where they hated on him
('Cause he was African American)
But three years later
Mikey was the town pride (Town pride)
Basketball, Mikey went and got
Himself a full ride
Earned his acceptance on a hardwood floor
And that's somethin' white America
Would never ignore

Stop, hey what's that sound?
Everybody, look what's goin' down
Stop, hey what's that sound?
Everybody, look what's goin' down

What's goin' down? Tell me what's goin' down
I wanna know just what's goin' down
What's goin' down? I'll tell
Ya what's goin' down
You wanna know just what's goin' down?

Take a look around everything is comin' down
Do you hear the subtle sounds
Of our morality slippin'? People on the go
We'll be reapin' what we sow
Yeah, we say we want to know
But, I got my suspicions

Now welcome to the world of
A girl named Susie
Susie's only crime was that she
Was born a cutie (A cutie)
Physically abused by her uncle
And his friends alcohol, let 'em all leave
The house with grins
But Susie couldn't shake off the memories
(The memory)
Forced to find her own kind of remedy
(O' remedy)
A man-eater for the rest of her days
Three kids, three men
No daddies by eleventh grade

Stop, hey what's that sound?
Everybody, look what's goin' down
Stop, children, what's that sound?
Everybody, look what's goin' down

What's goin' down? Tell me what's goin' down
I wanna know just what's goin' down
What's goin' down? I'll tell
Ya what's goin' down
You wanna know just what's goin' down?

Take a look around everything is comin' down
Do you hear the subtle sounds
Of our morality slippin'? People on the go
We'll be reapin' what we sow
Yeah, we say we want to know
But, I got my suspicions

What? What be goin' diggy down?
What be goin' diggy down?
What be goin' diggy down?
When you find what you lost but
You lose what you found
What be goin' diggy down?
Something's happenin'
What be goin' diggy down?
What be goin' diggy down?
Something's happenin'
When you find what you lost but
You lose what you found
What be goin' diggy down?
Something's happenin'
What be goin' diggy down?
What be goin' diggy down?
Something's happenin'
When you find what you lost but
You lose what you found

Stop, hey what's that sound?
Everybody look what's goin' down

What's goin' down? Tell me what's goin' down
I wanna know just what's goin' down
What's goin' down? I'll tell
Ya what's goin' down
You wanna know just what's goin' down?

Stop, hey what's that sound?
What's goin' down? Tell me what's goin' down
Stop, hey what's that sound?
You wanna know just what's goin' down?
Stop, hey what's that sound?
Everybody, look what's goin' down stop, hey
Stop, hey stop, hey
Stop, hey stop, hey stop!
