What Is This? by Spoonie Gee Lyrics
S-P-Double O-N-I-E G-E-E
Wants to ask you
What is this?
[Verse 1]
The end is coming, you better take hold
This whole world's gonna fold
It moves and it causes your mind to twist
The question is the answer, what is this?
If you're slow you blow
If you're fast you pass
If you're bad you lose
But if you're good you last
[Verse 2]
Teenage mother can't raise a child
Busy in the streets just running wild
Thinks she's fine, shows her behind
In the end she'll lose her mind
Guys with money is her goal
An obsession she can't control
Think there's love in just one kiss
The question is the answer, what is this?
[Chorus]
Makes me wanna shout
Makes me wanna cry
Try to figure out
Before I die
A movie
A puzzle
Just what is this?
[Verse 3]
Let's unite instead of fight
One more war won't be no sight
Simple and plain, no remains
From this [?] mankind of game
Atom Ace, the nuclear two
Push one button and we're through
Brother fight brother, sis fight sis
The question is the answer, what is this?
[Chorus]
Makes me wanna shout
Makes me wanna cry
Try to figure out
Know the reason why
Before I die
A movie
A puzzle
Just what is this?
[Verse 4]
The man lost his job today
Worked twenty years, but what did it pay?
Auto worker, workshop mechanic
This country's in a frantic state of panic
Nine-to-five, just to survive
[?] and they're still deprived
Gave his best shot, still he missed
The question is the answer, what is this?
[Chorus]
Makes me wanna shout
Makes me wanna cry
Try to figure out
Before I die
A movie
A puzzle
Just what is this?
What is this?
What is this?
[Verse 5]
Hey, you thug, take that drug
Rob and kill, plus you mug
The needle's the boss
What it cost
To keep it up you must be corrupt
Like reality and dreams don't mix
The question is the answer, what is this?
[Chorus]
Makes me wanna shout
Makes me wanna cry
Try to figure out
Before I die
A movie
A puzzle
Just what is this?
What is this?
If you're slow you blow
If you're fast you pass
If you're bad you lose
But if you're good you last
If you watch you'll learn
If you seek you'll find
Got to take your soul
Learn to control your mind
What is this?
If you're slow you blow
If you're fast you pass
If you're bad you lose
But if you're good you last
If you watch you'll learn
If you seek you'll find
Got to take your soul
Learn to control your mind
[Verse 6]
Life is hard, but believe in God
And you shall see eternity
Nothing comes easy, got to go get it
And that's the way it'll always be
You need some time to enhance your mind
Then one day you will find
That fairytales don't exist
The question is the answer, what is this?
[Chorus x 2]
Makes me wanna shout
Makes me wanna cry
Try to figure out
Before I die
A movie
A puzzle
Just what is this?
What is this?
Wants to ask you
What is this?
[Verse 1]
The end is coming, you better take hold
This whole world's gonna fold
It moves and it causes your mind to twist
The question is the answer, what is this?
If you're slow you blow
If you're fast you pass
If you're bad you lose
But if you're good you last
