funky dl - whatever happened to? lyrics

intro
i wanna to know…..
yo [echo]

verse one
yo, my ancestors sp-wned the phrase “each one to teach one”
so i’mma just speak son while melo make the beat run
and try and teach someone and try and reach them
through this hip-hop and poetic street speech son
whatever happened to respect and love?
and growing up to be the person your parents are proud of?
tell me whatever happened to faith and comp-ssion?
it’s like they got rationed chasing money and fashion
yo whatever happened to justice and fairness?
it’s like they got traded for lack of social awareness
and whatever happened to trying making an effort?
whatever happened to having morals and having ethics
whatever happened to grat-tude and appreciation ?
now we dealing with att-tude and uneasy patience
not only saying this to teenagers
i’m speaking to everyone adults of all ages
whatever happened to benefit of the doubt?
whatever happened to trying to straighten differences out?
and whatever happened to self respect?
and self value? i know that n-body perfect
yo, but we supposed to be the most intelligent
so how come most of these things irrelevant?
yo, and when i ask yo they try to be clever
cos the same way i’m asking they answer “whatever”

chorus
i wanna know what’s happening to people?
sometimes i look around and i just don’t know [adlibs]
i wanna [i just wanna know]
sometimes i look around and i just don’t know

verse two
whatever happened to the feeling of guilt?
whatever happened to forgiveness so the love is rebuilt?
yo, whatever happened to empathy and sympathy?
instead of drama that’s accompanied by a symphony
whatever happened to shame and remorse?
whatever happened to having discipline to enforce the good way from the bad?
right way from the wrong?
so you can have a clean slate your whole life long
whatever happened to smiling in public?
no heart individuals act like the government
whatever happened to caring and kindness?
it don’t make you less macho or make you spineless
whatever happened to helping people in need?
yo, when was the last time we did a good deed?
yo, whatever happened to grace and humility?
yo, and taking care of a great responsibility?
yo, whatever happened to the best of your ability?
and what about tact and your sensitivity?
whatever happened to prudence and wisdom?
observation and knowing just how to listen?
see we supposed to be the most intelligent
so how come most of these things irrelevant?
yo, and when i ask yo they try to be clever
cos the same way i’m asking they answer “whatever”

chorus
i wanna know what’s happening to people?
sometimes i look around and i just don’t know [adlibs]
i wanna [i just wanna know]
sometimes i look around and i just don’t know

outro [x4]
i just wanna know
