What's Goin' Down

Toby Mac

Welcome to the world of a kid named Mikey

Who had only one reason to be hated by whitey

Raised on a farm outside of South Bend

Where they hated on him cause he was African American

But three years later, Mikey was the town pride

Basketball Mikey went and got himself a full ride

Earned his acceptance on the hardwood floor

And that's something 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 knowc

But I got my suspicions



Welcome to the world of a girl named Susie

Susie's only crime was that she was born 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

Forced to find her own kind of remedy

A man-eater for the rest of her days

Three kids, three men, no daddies by eleventh grade



What be goin' diggy down

When you find what you lost

But you lose what you found
