4 Non Blondes – What’s Up (Lyrics)

Written By: JINUSEAN, Linda Perry

Lyrics (Start at 0:29):

Twenty-five years and my life is still
Tryin’ to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination
I realized quickly when I knew I should
That the world was made up of this brotherhood of man
For whatever that means

And so I cry sometimes when I’m lying in bed
Just to get it all out what’s in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
“What’s going on?”

And I say, hey-ey-ey-ey-ey
Hey-ey-ey
I said, “Hey, what’s going on?”
And I say, hey-ey-ey-ey-ey
Hey-ey-ey
I said, “Hey, what’s going on?”

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
I try all the time
In this institution
And I pray
Oh, my God, do I pray
I pray every single day
For a revolution

And so I cry sometimes when I’m lying in bed
Just to get it all out, what’s in my head
And I, I am feeling a little peculiar
And so I wake in the morning and I step outside
And I take a deep breath and I get real high
And I scream from the top of my lungs
“What’s going on?”

And I say, hey-ey-ey-ey-ey
Hey-ey-ey
I said, “Hey, what’s going on?”
And I say, hey-ey-ey-ey-ey
Hey-ey-ey
I said, “Hey, what’s going on?”

And I say, hey-ey-ey-ey-ey (Wake in the morning and I step outside)
Hey-ey-ey (Take a deep breath and I get real high, and I scream)
I said, “Hey, what’s going on?”
And I say, hey-ey-ey-ey-ey (Wake in the morning and I step outside)
Hey-ey-ey, yeah, yeah, yeah (Take a deep breath and I get real high, and I scream)
I said, “Hey, what’s going on?”

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, uh-huh

Twenty-five years and my life is still
Tryin’ to get up that great big hill of hope
For a destination, mmm
