Whatever Happened To? (Instrumental)
I wanna to know
Yo
Yo my ancestors spawned 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 compassion
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 gratitude and appreciation
Now we dealing with attitude 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 nobody 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 ”
I wanna know what 's happening to people
Sometimes I look around and I just don 't know
I wanna
Sometimes I look around and I just don 't know
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 ”
I wanna know what 's happening to people
Sometimes I look around and I just don 't know
I wanna
Sometimes I look around and I just don 't know
I just wanna know
I just wanna know
I just wanna know
I just wanna know
