What's going on?

Nelly:
What's going on 'cross the seas?
Every minute a child dies by this disease
In record numbers, indeed
Got mommas crying out, please
my baby, hold on
My child ain't done nothing wrong
Still I want to holler,
ask them why they don't bother
Oh no, oh no
Make me turn to my father
and ask him why they all got a trapped soul

Nas:
I can feel what was bothering Marvin,
why his words forever remain
Dealing with these modern day problems
cause of ignorance surrounding me and my constituents
Too many infected
Too many lives diminishing
Nobody safe, Protestants, Jews, Blacks and Whites, Latinos
and Asians
Pray together
Less fight
We better unite
As genocide and chemical war
And the rich and the poor
know that God delivers a cure

Eve:
It's a shame our reality is devestating
People praying for a cure,
dying while they're waiting
Ask the Lord for the comfort and the strength to face it
All the kids with dreams
won't get the chance to chase it
Makes me sad
Think about the lives they would've had
Think about the orphan babies got no moms and dads
How can we sit back and not try to make it right?
We gotta come together
We gotta fight for life

Fred Durst (of Limp Bizkit):
Somebody tell me what's going on
(What's going on?)
We got human beings using humans for a bomb
But everybody wanna live
Don't nobody really wanna die
You feeling me, right?
(right)
I can't be watching people die
(Die)
and watching people cry
Let me break it down for a minute
If there's enough room here for you and for me
there's plenty of room for some humanity

All artists, at various times:
Somebody tell me what's going on
What's going on?
