| I wonder how many are listening now
|
| Sayin' they feel it but for a milly, they’d kill me and smile
|
| Uh, how many have went ridiculous miles
|
| To hit a chick and won’t drive 5 minutes to visit their child?
|
| How many sittin' in prison, missin' their seed
|
| While the one who really committed the deed is chillin' and free?
|
| He got stripes for not snitchin' - indeed
|
| But I don’t know if «stripes» is something his children can eat
|
| Why if somebody breaks in your car, you ask who did it?
|
| Like if you ask and I answer you, that ain’t snitchin'
|
| But if he asks and you did it, somehow that’s different
|
| How come the rules change when it’s you in the bad predicament?
|
| Why is it that we treat God like He’s a chick?
|
| We claim to love Him but just not enough to commit
|
| We take advantage of the fact that He’s just to forgive
|
| But if He ever left you alone, you’d cry like a wimp
|
| Real talk…
|
| I wonder where we’re going
|
| If we never turn away
|
| Are we just headed for destruction any day?
|
| I wonder how many people alive
|
| Make a livin' off of what causes other people to die
|
| And out of those, how many know and eats them alive
|
| But the Beamer they drive is making them keep it inside
|
| Why is it legal to teach people evolution
|
| When it’s only a theory and no one has ever proved it?
|
| So if my child is a believer in a God he can’t bring up in school
|
| Why is it cool for you to confuse him?
|
| Why if I come out with shoes and they’re priced at forty
|
| So I don’t make much off 'em but the hood can afford it
|
| You probably look at them corny
|
| But if I charge two-hundred, you’d probably be waiting in line like you do for
|
| them Jordans
|
| Why you wanna keep a good chick and cheat with a bad chick?
|
| But you don’t want your good chick to be like that chick?
|
| And knock whats good for us to chase what’s bad
|
| And neglect what we got for what we can’t have
|
| Why?
|
| I wonder where we’re going
|
| If we never turn away
|
| Are we just headed for destruction any day?
|
| Why is alcohol legal and cigarettes cool
|
| As long as the government is gettin' theirs too
|
| Same reason prostitution is illegal 'til you tape it
|
| And call it pornography and now it’s merely entertainment
|
| Why they sell us fast food, then they sell us weight pills?
|
| Makin' a mill healing the same one’s they make ill
|
| Why do we fall for it? |
| Why do we complain?
|
| But keep doing the same things — why don’t we change?
|
| Why if you see one pastor that’s phony and fake
|
| You toss Christ out with the church and throw Him away
|
| So I guess when they pull you over based solely on race
|
| Because other black men have stolen, they can hold you to blame?
|
| Why are we so biased? |
| Why do we not care what’s fair
|
| Until it’s us that the injustice bothers?
|
| There’s a lot of poor hoods many turn a blind eye to
|
| Why do you only occupy when the 99 is you? |
