What’s Up Lyrics

Twenty-five 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
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means

Pre-chorus
And so i cry sometimes when i’m lying in bed
Just to get it all out, what’s in my head
And i, i am feeling 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-ey
I said “hey, a-what’s going on?”
And i say, hey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey
I said “hey, a-what’s going on?”
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, uh huh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, uh huh

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 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, i am feeling 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-ey
I said “hey, what’s going on?”
And i say, hey-ey-ey, hey-ey-ey
I said “hey, a-what’s going on?”
And i say, hey-ey-ey (wake in the morning and step outside)
Hey-ey-ey (take a deep breath and i get real high and i scream)
I said “hey, a-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) i said “hey, a-what’s going on?”
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, uh huh

Twenty-five years and my life is still
Tryin’ to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination, mmm
