what's going on?
what's happening it's been so long what's going on
and what's going wrong? the good old days are gone

'cause now i got a crew to run wit
break a couple of rules
have crazy fun wit;
but every now and then
they give my knuckle game a test
but i won't fess
i just get rid of the stress!
and then shake hands like a man
'cause it's a family thing
only the crew would underst
