Tell Me Why |
| Whyyyyyy, whyyyyyy |
| Whyyyyyy, whyyyyyy |
| I really wish I could explain it baby |
| It’s just the world is kinda crazy baby |
| Ain’t no pretty way to paint it baby |
| Don’t cry, dry your eyes |
| September 11th I woke up about 7 AM |
| West coast time, french toast and my turkey bacon |
| Takin my time awakin, turnin my TV on |
| To my surprise, saw what everybody in the world saw |
| Me and my children, images were chillin |
| My son said — daddy were there people in that building? |
| A cold sweat, frozen with a lump in my chest |
| I heard his question, couldn’t bring my lips to say yes to him |
| That night at my son’s side, he cried |
| And prayed for the ones who died in the World Trade |
| His palms to God, seeds of qualms with God |
| He just, kept on pressin me, wanna know why |
| Then one week later our bombs were dropped |
| We seein them, on CNN, they just won’t stop |
| The infrared, images of brutal attack |
| He said «Daddy now we killin 'em back,» right right |
| I really wish I could explain it baby |
| It’s just the world is kinda crazy baby |
| Ain’t no pretty way to paint it baby |
| Don’t cry, dry your eyes |
| I really wish I could explain it baby |
| It’s just the world is kinda crazy baby |
| Ain’t no pretty way to paint it baby |
| Don’t cry, dry your eyes |
| Souls are captured (souls are captured) |
| Dreams are stolen (dreams are stolen) |
| Hearts are broken (hearts are broken) |
| Evil plaguin he rewardin |
| Hate surrender (hate surrender) |
| Love exaulted! |
| (Love exaulted!) |
| HOPE ELATED! |
| (HOPE ELATED!) |
| Negativity DESTROYED AND. |
| Honest to God, why is the bomb always gettin the last word |
| And why, did her uncles have to molest her |
| And why, did all them cops have to be shootin to kill? |
| And why, did all them priests have to act so ill? |
| Tell me why did James Byrd Jr. have to be touched? |
| Tell my why did Malcolm and Martin depart from us |
| Tell me why did the sniper make that little boy shoot |
| And why, is human life always denied for loot? |
| Tell me why did Mandela have to live in a cage? |
| Why did my brother Sterling have to die at that age? |
| Tell me why did Reginald Denny deserve his fate? |
| And why the fuck can’t love seem to defeat hate? |
| Tell me why is it so hard for all the children to eat? |
| Why did 'Pac and Biggie Smalls have to fall in the street? |
| Tell me why did Jam Master Jay have to go that way? |
| Please, what am I supposed to say my kids when they say |
| I really wish I could explain it baby |
| It’s just the world is kinda crazy baby |
| Ain’t no pretty way to paint it baby |
| Don’t cry, dry your eyes |
| I really wish I could explain it baby |
| It’s just the world is kinda crazy baby |
| Ain’t no pretty way to paint it baby |
| Don’t cry, dry your eyes |
| Can’t explain it baby life is just really crazy |
| I mean if it’s world wars or the life of a little baby |
| We got more stores than they got rice under buddha lazy |
| You live four scores and still it be drivin you crazy |
| But for me I try to see the bright side |
| Sometimes it be like the goodness be tryin to hide |
| Or tryin to flee, but it can’t, it’s deep inside |
| Sweetie you be the light for others, make 'em believe in God |
