lirik lagu ezpzmusic - what’s going on/jimmy
[verse 1: ezpz]
five years in the hall
no tinsel on the wall
just a number, just a name
waitin’ on a lucky call
then she walked in
lady in white skin
saw a soul, took him home
let the tragedy begin
door opens. husband stops
heart freezes. spirit drops
he wanted pale, he got ink
now the kitchen table rocks
lamps breaking on the floor
he’s screamin’ “take him to the door!”
put his hands upon his wife
ignorance is at the core
but she stayed firm
let the hatred burn
he grеw to love the kid
but the lеsson never learned
he loved the son, hated the race
double standards in his face
[chorus: marvin gaye]
picket lines (sister) and picket signs (sister)
don’t punish me (sister) with brutality (sister)
talk to me (sister), so you can see (sister)
oh, what’s going on (what’s going on)
what’s going on (what’s going on)
yeah, what’s going on (what’s going on)
oh, what’s going on
[post~chorus: marvin gaye]
ah~ah~ah~ah (in the meantime, right on, baby)
woo (right on, baby), woo
ah~ya~ya~ya~ya~ya~ya, ya~ya~ya~ya~ya
woo (right on, baby, right on), woo
ah~ya~ya~ya~ya~ya~ya~ya~ya~ya~ya~ya
ba~da~boo~doo, boo~boo~boo~doo, boo~boo~boo
ba~da~boo~boo~boo~doo, boo~boo~boo~ba~ba~do
[verse 2: ezpz]
momma passed, sky is grey
two men left to find a way
jimmy’s seventeen and bold
coming home from a sat~rday
sneaking in, quiet feet
after~hours, bittersweet
dad hears a cl!ck, grabs the pump
heart jumping to a beat
he sees a shadow, sees the hue
prejudice is coming through
he doesn’t see his “boy,”
he sees the “enemy,” the “who?”
flash. bang. iron scent
blood on the cement
he flips the switch, hits the light
now his soul is permanently bent
it’s jimmy on the ground
not a single other sound
the monster k!lled the miracle
the truth is finally found
[chorus: marvin gaye]
picket lines (brother) and picket signs (brother)
don’t punish me (brother) with brutality (brother)
come on, talk to me (brother), so you can see (brother)
oh, what’s going on (what’s going on)
yeah, what’s going on (what’s going on)
tell me what’s going on (what’s going on)
i’ll tell you what’s going on (what’s going on)
[post~chorus: marvin gaye]
woo~ooh~ooh~ooh (right on, baby, right on)
ah~ya~ya~ya~ya~ya~ya, ya~ya~ya~ya~ya~ya~ya
woo, woo (right on)
ah~ya~ya~ya~ya~ya~ya~ya~ya~ya~ya~ya
ba~da~boo~doo, boo~boo~boo~doo
ba~da~boo~boo~boo~doo, ba~da~da~da~da~da~da
[verse 3: ezpz]
scrubbing stains off the oak
life is just a cruel joke
he gave up all the venom
now he’s gasping in the smoke
every day, knees hit
praying god will freeze it
doing deeds for the “other,”
if there’s mercy, he needs it
feeding kids in the street
trying to make the penance sweet
but the ghost of his son
is the only one he’ll meet
is it change? is it fear?
the cost of hate is finally clear
he tried to fix the broken glass
with a single, salty tear
awareness in the casket
the truth, he finally grasped it
but you can’t heal the world
once you’ve already smashed it
