Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
One will win the money and you'll hear him say real nice
Tell me what's going on
Say man give me my money don't be selfish with that
Tell me what's going on, what's going on
What's going on please, tell me what's going on
One cat threw a seven
All the cats all around and they all wanted to know what what's going tell me what's
Going on
Tell me what's going on, please, tell me what's going on
Some cat won the money
He let it go to his head
Some cat swiped all his dough and I heard him when he said
Tell me what's going on
Say which one of you guys got my money tell me what's going on
Tell me what's going on, please, tell me what's going on
Yes the cat that one the money

Somebody swiped his money and I heard him when he said
Tell me what's going on
Come on man don't play with my money tell me what's going on
Tell me what's going on, please, tell me what's going on
Well if you like to play

The lyrics depict a scenario where the singer is observing a group of men who are engaged in shooting dice. The first verse of the song informs the listener that some people are quite lucky at shooting dice and win a lot of money. The singer then requests an explanation for what is happening because the man who wins the money is not sharing it. The second verse describes that one of the players throws a seven and walks away, prompting everyone to wonder what's going on.
The next verse talks about the winner, who let the money go to his head and someone eventually swiped everything. He is now pleading for someone to tell him what is happening. The final verse serves as a warning to players that they could easily lose their money by playing, and when this happens, they should not be surprised but instead ask what's going on.
