[00:-2.00] Justin Timberlake - What's Going On
[00:-1.00]
[00:00.00]
[00:01.00]
[00:03.00]
[00:02.33] What's going on
[00:02.99]
[00:03.49] Tell me
[00:04.03]
[00:04.58] People dying, people crying - Lord help us
[00:10.38]
[00:11.39] Mother, mother, There's too many of you crying
[00:18.32]
[00:20.46] Oh, brother, brother, brother There's far too many of you dying
[00:27.61]
[00:27.88] That's right
[00:28.33]
[00:29.03] You know we've got to find a way To bring some lovin' here today
[00:39.42]
[00:40.20] Oh my father, father We don't need to escalate
[00:48.51]
[00:49.06] You see war is not the answer
[00:52.49]
[00:53.41] For only love can conquer hate
[00:58.15] You know we've got to find a way To bring some lovin' here today
[01:08.44] Barricades can't block our way
[01:12.71] Don't punish me with brutality
[01:17.57] Talk to me so you can see
[01:21.18]
[01:22.57] Oh what's going on (what's going on) What's going on (what's going on)
[01:26.93] Yeah what's going on (what's going on) Ahh what's going on (what's going on)
[01:31.48]
[01:32.00] What's going on in a world filled with pain?
[01:34.44] Where's the love for which we pray?
[01:36.69] What's going on When our children can't play Homeless can't eat
[01:40.15] There's got to be a better way
[01:41.53] What's going on when we politically blind
[01:43.70] Can't see the signs of endangered times
[01:46.07] What's going on
[01:47.45]
[01:48.45] Ah tell me What's going on in the world today
[01:53.11] I'd rather be dead Than turn my head away
[01:55.59] We gotta first world vision to complete
[01:57.46] To lift our hands in the air and cry for a switch
[02:00.45]
[02:00.92] Father, father
[02:02.45]
[02:03.05] Father help us, come on
[02:04.02]
[02:04.39] Everybody thinks we're wrong
[02:07.06]
[02:09.19] Oh, but who are they to judge us (Who are they to judge us)
[02:13.70] Together we can all be strong
[02:16.91] United we stand, divided we fall
[02:18.39] You know we've got to find a way
[02:22.81] To bring some understanding here today
[02:29.43] Barricades can't block our way
[02:33.56] Don't punish me with brutality
[02:37.51]
[02:38.41] Baby talk to me So you can see
[02:42.30] Yeah, what's going on Hey,
[02:44.21] what's going on
[02:45.51]
[02:47.95] Somebody tell me
[02:48.20] What's going on
[02:49.01] Somebody tell me
[02:50.06] What's going on-oh yeah yeah
[02:52.68]
[02:53.22] What's going on 'cross seas
[02:55.18] Every minute a child dies by this disease
[02:55.99] In record numbers indeed
[02:57.35] Your momma's crying out please My baby hold on
[03:00.22] My child ain't done nothing wrong
[03:02.60] Still I want to holler Ask them why they don't bother
[03:05.54] Oh no, oh no Make me turn to my father And ask him why they all
[03:09.68] got us trapped souls
[03:11.50]
[03:12.05] I can feel what was bothering Marvin
[03:13.44] Why his words forever remain Dealing with these modern day problems
[03:16.39] 'Cause of ignorance surrounding me And my constituents
[03:18.72] Too many infected Too many lives diminishing Nobody say
[03:21.68] Protestants, Jews, Blacks, And Whites, Latinos and Asians Pray together
[03:25.21] Less fight We better unite As genocide chemical war And the rich and the poor
[03:29.03] Know that God delivers a cure
[03:30.45]
[03:30.77] It's a shame our reality is devastating
[03:32.84] People praying for a cure
[03:34.20] Dying while they're waiting Ask the Lord for the comfort
[03:36.73] And strength to face it All the kids with dreams
[03:38.80] Won't get the chance to chase it Makes me sad
[03:40.83] Think about the lives they would've had
[03:42.56] Think about the orphan babies Got no moms
[03:44.49] and dads How can we sit back and not try to make it right
[03:47.48] We gotta come together We gotta fight for life
[03:50.00]
[03:50.29] Somebody tell me what's going on (What's going on)
[03:52.41] We got human beings using humans for a bomb
[03:54.64] But everyone wanna live Don't nobody really want to die
[03:57.75]
[03:58.24] You feeling me, right? (Right)
[03:59.64] I can't be watching people die (Die)
[04:01.28] And watching people cry Let me break it down for a minute
[04:03.99] If there's enough room here for you and for me
[04:06.20] There's plenty of room for some humanity
[04:08.22]
[04:08.80] Tell me what's going on You got to tell me (What's going on)
[04:16.05] Tell me (What's going on) Tell me (What's going on)
[04:19.96]
