Marvin Gaye - What's Going On Lyrics
Mother, mother
There's too many of you crying
Brother, brother, brother
There's far too many of you dying
You know we've got to find a way
Father, father
We don't need to escalate
You see, war is not the answer
For only love can conquer hate
You know we've got to find a way
To bring some lovin' here today
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Oh, what's going on
What's going on
Yeah, what's going on
Ah, what's going on
In the mean time
Right on, baby
Right on
Right on
Mother, mother, everybody thinks we're wrong
Oh, but who are they to judge us
Simply because our hair is long
Oh, you know we've got to find a way
To bring some understanding here today
Oh
Picket lines and picket signs
Don't punish me with brutality
Talk to me
So you can see
What's going on
Yeah, what's going on
Tell me what's going on
I'll tell you what's going on - Uh
Right on baby
Right on baby

Marvin Gaye What's Going On Comments
🇧🇷❤
The words to this song are by the genius Marvin Gaye. The words will last a lifetime.
Will whites ever end the race war they created? Prob not. To much fun and money is to be had.
If you observe the data, Things are worse now than they were then.
...im srry but i keep on hearing it but does anyone else here i want u the right way??...i kno u guys here it... If u don't play that song and comeback here its like its very close but it's not quite there
Greatest musical composition ever recorded period. This is what music is you feel it as well as listen to it
You just start to move , and think is it 1968 0r 2020 , the national anthem of the human race
Why no one wants to mention that he got an underage girl pregnant and Motown helped cover it up. Should we mite him?
この曲にさとっちゃんは影響を受けて
髭男のwhat's going on?という神曲ができたんだな…
James Jamerson is the GOAT
Listen... Shut the FUCK up
ION kno
Another tragic event that brought me here...
Love that horn to start off the song. str8 up dope!!
I read the book "The Hate U Give" and Starrs father mentioned Marvin Gaye. I did Not know him but this song is so cool.
Greetings from Germany
You should listen to more of his music, it's all really good!
Best song ever. Nobody can top this
Marvin was and still is god. So old and still up to date
Amazing ✌️ ♥
All human know Marven was a gift that will never die
To think some fools gave this a thumbs down.
I'm listening this song since 1971, it's a hit! Everybody, everywhere should listen to it.
She's got dogs. That way, her dogs are responsible and she does her little miss cookie cutter.
2020 Still Here
While studying we had to remix this song in Music i'm so honored to hear this
What a FUCKING. BASS. LINE.
War is not the answer, only love can conquer hate 🐎
Well history tells us otherwise
🙏🙏🙏🔥🔥🔥👏👏✊✊✊✊✊✊ lets make a change every body
Still listen to in 2020 this is a blessed song
Listen in Brazil, love this music.
True song blessings to Marvin rip
War is not the answer...only love can conquer hate!!! What’s going on 2020
War is not the answer! Love can over come hate. Love my human kind💀
マーヴィンは、愛や平和を歌ったんですね、、😌
ESSE CARA CANTAVA MUITO
What's Going On is the most important album released in the 20th century, bar none. The Beatles, The Stones, Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin never reached the zenith of his artistry and the important social issues Gaye addressed with his music. Thank your Mr. Gaye, for your genius.
What about 2pac or grandmaster flash? They created albums that spoke truth
On my playlist every day. 💃🏼💞🌻🌼
God please bless all our soilders an there family for what's going on in 2020
2020 let's bring peace and love and stop war...I love you all no matter what color ❤
I feel that man respect.
✊✊🏿✊🏾✊🏽✊🏼✊🏻
❤❤❤❤
thanks devonte. love you too
Love you all to!
Absolutely! I _refuse_ to let hate win!!!💜
Teenagers who love 60s 70s and 80s are the best
Lol its cuz we're raised by the right people ive been jammin to this kinda music sense i was 4 only 15 now n don't plan on changing a thing
I was also raised good
Joshua Sousa
Are you saying that those who don't listen vintage songs aren"t raised good.
(You have shit thinking)
Sachin Y’all really just gonna Pat yourself on the back and circle jerk for liking some music, are you?
Useless.
Don’t punish me with brutality, talk to me, so you can see, what’s goin’ on. My favorite line of the whole song
This song was released in 1971, in 2020 it is still proven no one listened, no one learned and we are still all asking what's going on as we head in to another pointless war with Iran. And anyone who will detest this war will be met with brutality
Isn't it sad how millions of people could die because of 6 stupid motherfuckers arguing?
@Matt G so very sad, my friend
Seeing World War 3 trending, can we all please listen to this song
You are so so right!!!!
2020!!!
💗 Perfeito 😍
Feliz 2020 🎉 🎉 🎉 🙏🙏🙏
19 years old listening to Marvin Gaye
cool bro
Jan. 2020
Marvin Gaye still sings the signs of the times! Today.
That's because the same scum that run everything still hold the power, nothing will change until the masses wake up!
2020 anyone?🖤
This puts a smile in my heart
Great song!
4th best song ever in Rolling Stone.
In my book, it's #1 and always will be.
Just rockin out to Marvin Gaye. What a talent back then!!! 'What's Going On' will always be played no matter the year or decade. This is a very timeless song. The song fits anywhere at any time. Hatred among all people should come to an end. We have to learn how to get along with each other and no race hatred ever against each other. Please be kind to other people and the rewards that will be sent your way will be amazing.
2020 anyone
Feliz 2020 🎉 🎉 🎉
Lucky enough to see him live in 76.......a wonderful memory
Music from heaven...
Anyone remember that scene from Jerry Maguire when Cuba Gooding Jr. character sung this at the wedding 😂😂😂😂😂
The message never gets old. Thank you Marvin
Never gets old...
2020 anyone?
Living in 2020 and I still ask myself what's going on?
What's goin' on? What's really goin' on? Without the cessation of breeding, killing and consuming animals, this song and dreams of peace and harmony mean nothing.
I just posted it on Facebook so people listen to
Stands the test of time.
I'm shocked to find out that many millennials are not familiar with this song.
I'm not.
@Chris Neilson It was a question on both Millionaire and Jeopardy! and no one got it right.
Here's another fun fact about this song. The recording session bass player (James Jamerson) had a few too many and had difficulty sitting in place. so he played his bass laying down on his back.
Considering that his father shot and killed him this song is ironic.
damn my dad was 1 year old when martin died :(
Humans are horrible creatures. Too bad we were too intelligent to create cures that the planet wanted to wipe us out with long ago
James is at the top of his game here. He's bouncing around like a flower in the wind, and without one single insult to the bottom or the root. It's just crazy. It is just crazy.
5.9K people have no clue of what’s going on
lol.. 31m views later I hope you got paid!!!!
My favourite album of all time.😍
Now..we can fix things. Water.......
Let's get. .together....please
This is the only song that could make me cry
This song is pure Genius...it will always be revelent
Just wondering who disliked this song? 🤔
11Th LP Marvin made, bought it in 1971 when it came out at a local Woolworths's store. Still have it in great condition!! Anyone remember Woolworths?? Give me a like!! Marvin put a few lines in the song about his father, him and Marvin fought all the time, never got along. And you know what happened in the end :(
Do you remember MY Woolworth's...Greensboro,N.C. ??? Yeah an awesome album by Marvin...a tortured soul...that delivered a powerful message !!!
RIP Marvin
She Remembers...
I know the song is about more serious matters but... What a vibe
Reminds me of them good old 70s porns
Ecclesiastes 9:11
“I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.”
We're running a spiritual BATTLE warfare <3
8Let thy garments be always white; and let thy head lack no ointment. 9Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun. 10Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither thou goest. 11I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favour to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all. 12For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare; so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them. 13This wisdom have I seen also under the sun, and it seemed great unto me: 14There was a little city, and few men within it; and there came a great king against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it:
YURP <3
I am amazed with the mainstream media attention about Hebrew Israelite's. If some so called African Americans Negroes did not know they are from the 12 Tribes scattered to four corners of the earth. This topic may wake people up all over the world including the Gentiles. I find Vocab Malone videos disturbing, he is primarily focusing on so called African Americans? Malone persist in his videos that the Israelite's said this or that, failing to mention TMH God Of Israel is speaking in the bible to the 12 Tribes of Israel. I hope Israel is repenting all over the world for Yisrael and themselves, getting throw into the pit of hell with the devil does not sound like a fabulous party I want to attend. IJS......who am I going to believe? Man or God? I am strictly going to listen to TMH God of Israel. All we can do at this point is to warn people that we are potentially living in end times.

Ezekiel 3:18
“When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand.”
Ezekiel 3:18 Context
15Then I came to them of the captivity at Telabib, that dwelt by the river of Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days. 16And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, 17Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me. 18When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. 19Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. 20Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand. 21Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul.

Revelation 21:8
“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.”
Revelation 21:8 Context
5And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. 6And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. 9And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. 10And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, 11Having the glory of God: and her light was like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;
THE DAY
Amos 5:18
- https://youtu.be/Fcmb_obd_to
“Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light.”
Amos 5:18 Context
15Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate: it may be that the LORD God of hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph. 16Therefore the LORD, the God of hosts, the Lord, saith thus; Wailing shall be in all streets; and they shall say in all the highways, Alas! alas! and they shall call the husbandman to mourning, and such as are skilful of lamentation to wailing. 17And in all vineyards shall be wailing: for I will pass through thee, saith the LORD. 18Woe unto you that desire the day of the LORD! to what end is it for you? the day of the LORD is darkness, and not light. 19As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met him; or went into the house, and leaned his hand on the wall, and a serpent bit him. 20Shall not the day of the LORD be darkness, and not light? even very dark, and no brightness in it? 21I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies.
OH HAPPY DAY!!!

Baruch 2:30
“For I knew that they would not hear me, because it is a stiffnecked people: but in the land of their captivities they shall remember themselves.”
Baruch 2:30 Context
27O Lord our God, thou hast dealt with us after all thy goodness, and according to all that great mercy of thine, 28As thou spakest by thy servant Moses in the day when thou didst command him to write the law before the children of Israel, saying, 29If ye will not hear my voice, surely this very great multitude shall be turned into a small number among the nations, where I will scatter them. 30For I knew that they would not hear me, because it is a stiffnecked people: but in the land of their captivities they shall remember themselves. 31And shall know that I am the Lord their God: for I will give them an heart, and ears to hear: 32And they shall praise me in the land of their captivity, and think upon my name, 33And return from their stiff neck, and from their wicked deeds: for they shall remember the way of their fathers, which sinned before the Lord.

“Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD.”
Jeremiah 23:1 Context
1Woe be unto the pastors that destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture! saith the LORD. 2Therefore thus saith the LORD God of Israel against the pastors that feed my people; Ye have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold, I will visit upon you the evil of your doings, saith the LORD. 3And I will gather the remnant of my flock out of all countries whither I have driven them, and will bring them again to their folds; and they shall be fruitful and increase. 4And I will set up shepherds over them which shall feed them: and they shall fear no more, nor be dismayed, neither shall they be lacking, saith the LORD.

Time for Democrats to stop waging war with Voters and enjoy the economy.
I don't have the correct words to do this song justice. Absolutely a classic for eternity. Takes me back in time and good memories.
Let's get his movie made! He deserves one
Greg DaGawd ummm no. Have they ever made a good movie respecting Black Americans? Not really.
We need some lovin here today
Big clássico
TIMELESS CLASSIC MARVIN
This whole album is in the point of view of a Vietnam War Veteran returning home to witness brutality of anti war activists
Right after 9/11 I heard the All Star tribute cover of these and chose to do my biography report on Marvin Gaye. I grew up real fast at 11.
Thanks. Bet. Dat. Real. As. Its. Every been whem it came out
Love some Marvin Gaye oh yess
I have a class that's literally about Vietnam and when my teacher started playing this I immediately threw it on my playlist, I loved so much.
Done paint it black, yet?
I have never really never listened to Marvin Gaye in my life. Tupac Amaru Shakur said " i remember Marvin Gaye used to sang to me" and me and Tupac has alot in common im 13 years and listen to this song every time im feeling bad or doing my work this song is so soothing to my ears.
Outstanding song.They don't even come close to making music this good anymore.They are just not capable.Talent is a thing of the past.
Talent can't be a thing of the past. Lol.
People say this song is just as relevant today. They are wrong. It is a 1000 times more relevant today than it was back when it was released.1971 was a garden party compared to the 21st century.
It was only a garden party if you were white in the 70s. 🤷🏿
❤️😇🙏
What on earth was James Jamerson
rings true today
This was uploaded on my birthday 👀
If killing a father is an horrendous crime...how much is killing a son?
Sorely missed! Visions ahead of his time.🙏🏾❤️🔥
The good old days...Or better days. Miss the real world
