Why is Daddy not here?
Are you crying?
Why?
Does he still love me?
Will you take care of me?
If you both love me so
Why don't you love each other
Mummy's gone missing
Daddy's on fire
Daddy's on fire
There is a chance I could be losing you
Gotta let my love surround you
Can't go down without a fight
And I won't hurt you girl, I promise you
It's the pain , I'm living for you
It's a broken dream but I still adore you
Why , why ,when the feelings gone
(you can't explain, we live in sun, we live in rain)
Free me or leave me
I will always forgive you
For you are my moments and you are my hours
Forever I live you
Love me or lose me
You will be my desire
There ain't nobody taking this heart that you're breaking
And no one can take me no higher
There is a reason why this world is round
There's a fire all around you
I'm just following the light
I'll never be the one to make you cry
It's the tears I'm crying for you
I'm a broken man but I still adore you
Why , why when the women's gone
(you can't explain, we live in sun, we live in rain)
Free me or leave me
I will always forgive you
For you are my moments and you are my hours
Forever I live you
Love me or lose me
You will be my desire
There ain't nobody taking this heart that you're breaking
And no one can take me much higher
Free me or leave me
I will always forgive you
For you are my moments and you are my hours
Forever I live you
Love me or lose me
You will be my desire
There ain't nobody taking this heart that you're breaking
And no one can take me much higher
Why why can't we love again?
Why why are you shy on love?
If you only knew how much I love you,
why can't you love me again?
Why why don't you open your heart?
Why why are we so far apart?
If you only knew how much I love you,
why can't you love me again?
I just want your loving arms around me, yeah,
I got to find a way to make you take me back.
Baby won't you tell me
why why why why are we so far apart?
Why why don't you open your heart?
If you only knew how much I love you,
why can't you love me again?
I just want your loving arms around me, yeah,
I got to find a way to make you take me back.
Baby won't you tell me
why why why why are we so far apart?
Why why don't you open your heart?
If you only knew how much I love you,
why can't you love me

Why
How many times do I have to try to tell you
That I'm sorry for the things I've done
But when I start to try to tell you
That's when you have to tell me
Hey...this kind of trouble's only just begun
I tell myself too many times
Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut
That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words
That keep on falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Tell me...
Why
Why
I may be mad
I may be blind
I may be viciously unkind
But I can still read what you're thinking
And I've heard it said too many times
That you'd be better off
Besides...
Why can't you see this boat is sinking
(This boat is sinking this boat is sinking)
Let's go down to the water's edge
And we can cast away those doubts
Some things are better left unsaid
But they still turn me inside out
Turning inside out turning inside out
Tell me...
Why
Tell me...
Why
This is the book I never read
These are the words I never said
This is the path I'll never tread
These are the dreams I'll dream instead
This is the joy that's seldom spread
These are the tears...
The tears we shed
This is the fear
This is the dread
These are the contents of my head
And these are the years that we have spent
And this is what they represent
And this is how I feel
Do you know how I feel?
'Cause I don't think you know how I feel
I don't think you know what I feel
I don't think you know what I feel
You don't know what I feel
Written by Christine McVie.
There's no use in crying, it's all over
But I know there'll always be another day
Well my heart will rise up with the morning sun
And the hurt I feel will simply melt away
You make me feel, I just can't carry on
But I know I won't always be that way
'Cos my heart will rise up with the morning sun
And the hurt I feel will simply melt away
You don't have to give up
Why is it all wrong
Why don't you love me
If I cry would you be there for me?
If I die would you even care to see?
Don't you know, life can be just a phase,
and if you knew, why is your life a maze?
CHORUS:
Why oh why did I fall for you?
Did'nt I know you would'nt be true?
So many questions fill my head,
Sometimes you make me wanna be dead.
Did you ever do this to someone else?
Did you suceed and make their heart melt?
If you knew what I know,
Then you'd know your heart is cold,
Caught in a web of sweet talk,
Time is runnig out look at the clock.
So I am through with you,
Hope you knew that you lose.
Yeah yeah, ooh
CHORUS:
Why oh why did I fall for you?
Did'nt I know you would'nt be true?
So many questions fill my head,
Sometimes you make me wanna be dead.
So tell me did you ever do this to someone else?
Did you suceed and make their heart melt?
Yeahhhh oooh yeah
thought of no tomorrow
the pain tears of sorrow
and you never told me why
the way you cheated
and mistreated
i could never ask you why
but i'm gonna find out, i'm gonna find out
whats been messig up your mind, messing up your mind
well i've been through some changes now im leavin'
while my mind rearranges why i'm grievin'
i don't mean that you hurt me, or deceive me
for i know that your there and you need me
you sure do, but i know
you can't see how it is
i can't stay any longer i've got to go
is there any true reason?
or anything i can explain
can't we talk about it baby and be together again
you see i have the feelin' that this isn't the end
and i feel on you i depend, i depend on you
i'm gonna find out, i'm gonna find out,
whats been messing up your mind
when i said that i love you and i need you
that means i'm yours, yes i belong to you
,but i just cant be certain that you love me too
now i got to know if i can believe in you
please believe that my heart is yours
i can't stay any longer. i got to go
perhaps its best for us to stay together and try to live our life as one
Why, do you always do this to me?
Why, couldn't you just see through me?
How come, you act like this
Like you just don't care at all
Do you expect me to believe I was the only one to fall?
I can feel, I can feel you near me, even though you're far away
I can feel, I can feel you baby, why
It's not supposed to feel this way
I need you, I need you
More and more each day
It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you, I need you
Tell me, are you and me still together?
Tell me, do you think we could last forever?
Tell me, why
Hey, listen to what we're not saying
Let's play, a different game than what we're playing
Try, to look at me and really see my heart
Do you expect me to believe I'm gonna let us fall apart?
I can feel, I can feel you near me, even when you're far away
I can feel, I can feel you baby, why
It's not supposed to feel this way
I need you, I need you
More and more each day
It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you, I need you
Tell me, are you and me still together?
Tell me, you think we could last forever?
Tell me, why
So go and think about whatever you need to think about
Go on and dream about whatever you need to dream about
And come back to me when you know just how you feel, you feel
I can feel, I can feel you near me, even though you're far away
I can feel, I can feel you baby, why
It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you
More and more each day
It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you, I need you
Tell me
It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you
More and more each day
It's not supposed to hurt this way
I need you, I need you, I need you
Tell me, are you and me still together?
Tell me, do you think we could last forever?
Why why why can't you understand
That golden wedding band you wear on your left hand means that you're mine
Why why why can't I make you see though you still think you're free
Your heart belongs to me till the end of time
I love you more than words can ever say my heart would break if you should go away
No one could love you like I do and I die a little more each time that you're untrue
Why why why can't you understand...
[ steel ]
Why can't you be true the way you were why do you keep running back to her
I pray each minute I'm alone that you'll forget her soon and find your way back home
Why why why can't you understand...
Can you hear me when I call your name
Or was it the wind that took it away
And still feel your every move
I die (cry) with every thought of you
When I look there's no one there
Do you know how much I really care
So why we're so rich (much) in love
Maybe we're the only ones
No rights, no wrongs
Don't try, this was meant to be
We'll never be the lonely ones
I'll build a better world for you andme
(Baby can't you see)
Somedays - I can't make it through
Somedays - I never really wanted to
I'm still searchin' but it's been so long
I'm pretending that there's nothing wrong
In my heart you know you'll always be
The only love that lives inside of me
Cos I need you so
I won't let go
Cos I need you so.
Inmy memory you'll allways be
Why, why don't we try?
Like the wind, we'll learn how to fly again
To reach heaven, we'll drown our sorrows
Feel the fury coming down on you, baby
Lying on the heart of a baby
[Incomprehensible] on a vision of blue
Tell me why
Those innocent lies
Tell me why
The mystery of love is to live
Live and let live
Break the chains and try to forgive me now
For the fortune on the wings of an eagle
And our hearts lie in the hands of an angel
Dreaming on the wings of an eagle in yellow
Sitting on a mountain top
Tell me why
Those innocent lies
Tell me why
The mystery of love is to live
Those innocent lies
Tell me why
The mystery of love is to live
Maybe you could try
Maybe I can try
Maybe they could try
Maybe we should try
Tell me why
Those innocent lies
Tell me why
The mystery of love is to live
(Maybe you could try)
Those innocent lies
Tell me why
(Maybe I can try)
The mystery of love is to live
(Maybe they could try)
Those innocent lies
Tell me why
(Maybe we should try)
[KRS-One] Class in session. What, is, democracy?
[student] Yo it's the rule of the people. The self rule.
[student] It's what the people want!
[K] That's right. But is this a democracy?
[s] Nah, democracy is a goal to be attained.
[K] That's right. The character of the people should be reflected
[K] in the laws and the institution of the state.
[s] Psssh, I don't see my character reflected!
[K] Tell me
[Chorus One: KRS-One]
WHY, are all the schools they fallin apart
and WHY, the youth not takin no musical art
and WHY, the professionals really don't know where to start
No, one, really, cares, about
WHY, the people ain't trustin the law and the order
and WHY, the hookers from 70's look like our daughters
and WHY, the radio station they help with the slaughter
No, one, really, cares, about
[KRS-One]
The mind, they usin until it's time they doin a rhyme
will ruin what you doin if you crime pursuin
Let me tell you bout gettin your family out the mean ghetto
to green meadows, where you can finally be settled
That street level, freak level, pullin out heat level
Eatin meat level, deceit level, that's that beast level
You gotta stand upright in a house with three levels
Where you don't even see devils unless he shovels the snow
Many philosophers live on the low
Never crazy hazy or lazy we get up and go
Whaddya know, I'm always teaching after the show
Not messin with hoes, I'm with my wife, changin my clothes
Blowin my nose, deliverin blows to foes
with new flows; then disappear where nobody knows
Cause I got too many questions, too many lessons
I gotta go, too many people stressin but I gotta know
[Chorus Two: KRS-One]
WHY, these officers gunnin us down on our block
and WHY, the President never steps in on these cops
and WHY, the mayor don't even look like he in shock
No, one, really, cares, about
WHY, the call of the poor is always ignored
and WHY, the senators governors breakin the law
and WHY, they taxin and taxin and taxin the poor
No, one, really, cares, about
[KRS-One]
You, me, or themselves you can tell, they livin in hell
But they come on the TV lookin so swell
Sellin you dreams of schemes of you gettin green and cream
But they never explain the work and all it means
You got to visualize, close the lid on your eyes
and visualize, minimize lies
See yourself bigger in size, quicker to rise up
wise up climb up, before your time's up but
[Chorus One]
[s] The votes
[K] That's right
[s] The politics
[K] That's right
[s] The government you know!
[K] Uh-huh, people basically have the government they want
Written by Dieter Bohlen
It's a breathless night - and I feel the pain
This love is a sacrifice
We can't build a fire baby in the rain
Oh the night has a thousand eyes
How deep is your love babe
No one cares about you
I will love you tomorrow
See what my love can do
Baby why - why should I hurt you?
How many tears can I hide?
Nobody loves you like I do
Time is on my side, baby
You'll close your eyes - I'll stay by your side
I don't care if the sun don't shine
When your heart feels like, oh a motherless child
You are always oh in my mind
How deep is your love babe
No one cares about you
But it's not too late babe
See what my love can do
Baby why - why should I hurt you?
How many tears can I cry?
Nobody loves you like I do
Time is on my side, baby
Baby why - why should I hurt you?
How many tears can I hide?
Nobody loves you like I do
Time is on my side
Father, it's time
Have a heart for your child who cries in pain
Not a new sign
But a strike that'll blow those fools away
Open your eyes
If you've got any you just look for too long a time
They spit on your name
Doin' everything darned as highest crime
They believe they could walk on the water
Playin' godsleep with the Devils daughter
Killed your son and might kill mine
But you don't mind
Why, Lord, why, tell me why?
In these lonely days
I'd need your answer
There's a reason, why
How could you fail?
Still it's time, turn the black into the light
Why do you wait?
Do you look down and laugh at what you find?
Can't you see they are mistreating their daughters
They believe they could walk on the waters
They killed your son and might kill mine
But you don't mind
Why, Lord, why, tell me why?
In these lonely days
I'd need your answer
There's a reason why
Why, Lord, why, tell me why?
Your the only light
Forever lasting
Tell me father, why
Why, Lord, why, tell me why?
In these lonely days
I'd need your answer
There's a reason why
Why, lord, why, tell me why?
Your the only light
Forever lasting
Tell me father, why
Father it's time
Father it's time
Why can't they see
That a love like ours was meant to be.
Oh darlin', why, can't they see,
That a love like ours was meant to be.
I was thrown into this crazy world
And I never had me the love of a girl.
You came and showed me that love could be found.
No one's got the right to tell me
I can't have you around.
Why can't they see
That a love like ours was meant to be.
Oh darlin', why, can't they see,
That a love like ours was meant to be.
I was born in an old tin shack
And all I had, Lord, is what I carried on my back.
But Daddy told me, "Son, don't be no fool,
When you're on your own, please obey the golden rule."
Why, why, why; can't they see
That a love like ours was meant to be,
Oh darlin', why, can't they see
That a love like ours was meant to be.
Oye me negrona, oye cosa buena,
Oye me mulatta; hey, hey, ya, ya,
Hey, hey
I want to know now, I want to know
Why does this world have to be so mixed up.
I love you and I've got to have you, darlin'.
Why can't they see
That a love like ours was meant to be.
Why can't they see
That a love like ours was meant to be.
So tell me, Why, why
Can't they see
That a love like ours was meant to be.
Oye me negrona, oye me mulatta.
Oye que yo me voy para gosar alla
Hey, hey hey.
Another night, have you been where you say you been?
So tell me why, in the hell you just strollin' in?
Now I ain't got the patience to be playin', boy
I've been waitin' by the phone just to hear your story
Gettin' tired of them same lame excuses comin'

While I'm sittin' home, tryna figure why it's you I'm with
What's a girl to do? 'Cause I done had enough of you
I don't wanna stay another day waitin' like a fool
It ain't like I ain't fly, and can't find another guy
It's matters of the heart, got me stayin' and I don't know why
'Cause I love you like no other, I touch you like no other
Even
(Uhh)
Like no other, got your back like no other
Now I ain't got the patience to be playin', boy
I've been waitin' by the phone just to hear your story
Gettin' tired of them same lame excuses comin'
Now tell me, do you have the answer to my question?

'Cause what you did to me is comin' back to get you, babe
Hey, you better be careful out there
'Cause you ain't never gonna find like me, babe
Why you can't love me enough not to cheat?
And why ain't my heart strong enough not to leave?

La-di-da-di-da
La-di-da-di-da
La-di-da-di-da
La-di-da-di-da
Why does your love hurt so much?
Why?
Why does your love hurt so much?
Don't know why
You know I loved you baby
But all the while, you just betrayed me
In the warmth of our bed
All the things that you said were
La-di-da-di-da
La-di-da-di-da
La-di-da-di-da
La-di-da-di-da
Why does your love hurt so much?
Why?
Why does your love hurt so much?
Don't know why
You said our love was sacred
But you left me alone to make it
You want to come back again someday
But, darling, here's what I say
La-di-da-di-da
La-di-da-di-da
La-di-da-di-da
La-di-da-di-da
Why does your love hurt so much?
Why?
Why does your love hurt so much?
La-di-da-di-da
La-di-da-di-da
La-di-da-di-da
La-di-da-di-da
Why, why does your love hurt so much?
You say you'll come back again someday
But, darling, here's what I say
La-di-da-di-da
La-di-da-di-da
Why does your love hurt so much?
Don't know why
So many murders, where the children play
And it's about, to make me lose my mind
We're running out of time, too many of my people dying
[Z-Ro]
Day by day it's more impossible, to hold on
I'm going head up with the shadow of death, and getting stole on
Will I survive, is God gonna come and save me
I started out as a Christian, now look at how this world made me
I'm crazy, and I can't make it no better
Cause I can't stand none of my friends, my only love is for the cheddar
I remember, sipping on Tangaray and getting high
Down with eachother, long as we was barely getting by
We grown men, and all living in sin
Shooting a kite to my people, cause he in prison again
Letting him know that the streets ain't changed, still wicked
Plus I been burying so many motherfuckers, we bound to kick it
Up close and personal, cause niggaz be pushing my button
I handle my bidness, and exit they homes gangsta strutting
One deep, nobody's got my back
Motherfuckers just be hanging around me, because I rap
Trying to stab me in my back, and if they could they would
That's why I pack my twin bitches, cause I don't even feel safe in the hood
At least on lock, you know what the danger is and what's not
Free world you'll be evicted, when a coward bust shots
That's the life cycle, kick it with real niggaz
And never let the shife by you, because the devil is they idol
Man they tied up my nigga, and sawed off his head
The cold part about it, they ain't even take no bread
[Hook]
[Z-Ro]
My nigga Grady took seven shots, and one bullet hit him twice
Although he's blessed, my nigga just can't leave the thug life
Why smoke is coming out of ground?
Tell me why?
My English make an ugly sound
But I try
Why the Empire State Building green?
Tell me why?
Why house is smell of gasoline?
[Behind These Hazel Eyes Tour]
How many times do I have to try to tell you
That I'm sorry for the things I've done
But when I start to try to tell you
That's when you have to tell me
Hey...this kind of trouble's only just begun
I tell myself too many times
Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut
That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words
That keep on falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Tell me...
Please tell me..
I may be mad
I may be blind
I may be viciously unkind
But I can still read what you're thinking (oh yeah)
And I've heard it said too many times
That you'd be better off
Besides...
Why can't you see that this boat is sinking
(This boat is sinking, this boat is sinking)
Let's go down to the water's edge
And we can cast away those doubts
Some things are better left unsaid
But they still turn me inside out
Turning inside out..
Turn me inside out
Tell me...
Please Tell me...
This is the book I've never read
These are the words I've never said
This is the path I'll never tread
These are the dreams I'll dream instead
This is the joy that's seldom spread
These are the tears...
The tears we shed
This is the fear
This is the dread
These are the contents of my head
And these are the years that we have spent
And this is what they represent
Do you know how I feel?
'Cause I don't think you know
I dont think you'll ever know
You'll never know..
You'll never know.. why.. why.. yeah.. why
I don¡¯t know how
To tell you who I am
Try to justify
You¡¯d still deny I¡¯m a man
I never understood it
So I don¡¯t expect you to
But I can¡¯t change now
Love, just for you
Maybe it¡¯s better
That you know at last
Oh I am sorry
It all happened so fast
We might have lasted longer
If I told you when we met
But it¡¯s an old song
For you to forget
Why did you love me more
Lord did I let her down
Why did she never understand me
Whey did she love me
Lord did I let her down
Why is it so hard to be yourself
I never understood it
So I don¡¯t expect you to
But I can¡¯t change now
Love, just for you
Maybe it¡¯s better
That you know at last
Oh I am sorry
It all happened so fast
We might have lasted longer
If I told you when we met
But it¡¯s an old song
For you to forget
Why did you love me more
Lord did I let her down
Why did she never understand me
Whey did she love me
Lord did I let her down
Why is it so hard to be yourself

Do you feel what I feel
When you look at me
Why do I feel in my heart
That we’re meant to be
Please forgive the words I say
Whenever you’re around
You’re my sweetest dream
A treasure I have found
Why - How can we find true love again
The healing kind that takes your mind
Why - How can we reach the soul within
Give all our heart and be born again
Rededicate this love affair - release it in the air
Rely upon the wings of love to take us there
My arms are open wide come get
This gift of love from me
I will give you anything
Cause’ you hold the key
Just lay your body on me
And nature will run free
We can give inside -making love all night
And find our destiny
Chorus
Why does my heart tell me its right
Feeling you touch all though the night
Tell me your love will never die
The thought of you is a natural high
Something is going wrong
With the singer and the song
And the music isnt gentle anymore
There's a mist across the moon
And the suns too hot at noon
And the house is dark behind the broken door
Where the flowers used to grow
With their leaves are hanging low
And the constant shadow lies across the floor
There's a strange and empty sky
Where the wild birds used to fly
And I never tasted bitter rain before
And will the grass be gone from underneath the sky
Will the golden flower wither soon and die
Will the fire burn out the land
And the sea fill-up with sand
Will the last word ever spoken be why?
Will the last word ever spoken be why?
Someone's lost the plan
For the brotherhood of man
And no ones trying to find it anymore
And the winds become a sigh
For those who hate and those who die
And the waves are black and slow along the shore
And will the grass be gone from underneath the sky
Will the golden flower wither soon and die
Will the fire burn out the land
And the sea fill-up with sand
Will the last word ever spoken be why?
Will the last word ever spoken be why, why, why?
Will the last word ever spoken be
I pledge allegiance to the (tell me what we gon' do)
I used to know you but (you don't call like you used to)
If you still love me can I
(give me a chance just to say how I feel, it may hurt you but what I'm seeing is real)
We're killing babies and (I love to see chil dren play)
I've got depression (there's a new pill I saw today)
How hypocritical to
(nothing is wrong take a picture and just smile money's coming after while)
Why Oh Why
we keep believing lies, did Laci have to die
Why Oh Why, Lord tell me when our change is gon' come
There are no fathers and (the system's holding me down)
Sisters are dying of AIDS (I know my man don't sleep around)
Don't be stupid listen (we all gon' die. And since you only live once, you do you, you go head, live your life)
We're building churches but (my pastor is on TV)
But are we building people (I filed for divorce last week)
We're wasting money tell me (why should I save? Let me have my worldly things; God said He'll supply my needs)
(that ain't what he means)
Why Oh Why
can't our soldiers come back home
It seems like innocence is gone
Are people still losing their jobs
We're spending money building bombs
Free, I just wanna be free
Wake up no more sleeping (seems like my life ain't gon' change)
Let's stop making excuses (I pray but things still stay the same)
See Jesus said that He will (please take this pain, I can't make it on my own, ain't no sunshine when
You're gone)
(2 nd Why)
Why oh Why
Don't we give you a chance
Put our life in Your hands
Are we afraid to say Your name
Is it because we want the fame
Did my homeboy have to take his life
That homeless man's outside tonight
When trouble comes we wanna pray
Since you were born you watched TV
cartoons with violence and greed
in your world all that was OK
your parents never taught you right
from wrong, brother taught you to fight
Now it's time to show them what you've got
Gotta show them what you've got
An attitude, a fancy car
your buddies got your back
your parents' house compared to yours
looks something like a shack
in your thirty seven guns
the bullets spanked red
a simple stare is all it takes
to fill 'em up with lead but
Why,
are you acting like you're someone else?
Why,
can't you stop thinking about yourself
Last friday night you went driving
a stolen car with golden rings
it was something you just had to do
your little friends the cops caught you
you're sentenced for a long time
now tell me what you're gonna do
in a world where no one cares
labels i don't wanna wear
i had a dream that i could once walk
safely in the streets
you've got to take it away yeah
you've got to take it away from me
Why,
are you acting like you're someone else?
Why,
Close your looks. Close your looks.
Close your looks. Close misty eyes.
Close your looks. Close your looks.
Close your looks. Close misty eyes.
Something inside me, beats me walking through the night.
Can't find what I'm looking for.
Dreaming of those misty eyes.
Is there a reason for your hurryin'.
Is it a love cry ? Is it a love cry ?
What is a reason for your worry?
Is it harder to come back or harder to tell me?
Why ? Why are you walking away from me ?
Just tell me why ? Why you walking away ?
Is it a love cry ?
Why ? Why are you walking away from me ?
Just tell me why? Why you walking away ?
Misty eyes.
(Those misty eyes)
You said that you'd change your mind with your ums and ifs and why's.
There's something inside of me.
Reading from those misty eyes.
Where is the love we were making?
I feel your heartbeat.
I can feel your heartbeat.
Is it the memories that you're shaking ?
The New Testament
These are the Street Scriptures for all my riders, niggaz, and hoes
Let me ask you a question:
Why give a bitch fame by sayin' his name?
When all I gotta say is you's a bitch
Yeah, I'm talkin' to you nigga
You ain't no killa, on the riz-illa
So High Beam my nigga, get with 'em
AHHHHH!!
When I look that fool in his face and tell him he's a lie
Everybody want a cure but nobody wanna die
Put the cash in my face, I might take a try
Money motivated that nigga that threw up my sign
My wife's on my side with a .9 ready to ride
Hold my sixth sense up and ask buddy why
Shit get deep in the cold city of Chi
Could somebody, anybody tell me why-ay
Why-ya-y-yaah
Why-ya-y-yaah these boys they wanna try me-eeeee
Why-ya-y-yaah
Why-ya-y-yaah but these boys don't wanna die-eeeee
Why-ya-y-yaah
Why-ya-y-yaah now bring them boys to the Chi-eeeee
Why-ya-ya-yaah
Why-ya-ya-yaah Ahhhhhhhh
I'll sacrifice my word and my balls for this here
Straight down to earth with my real niggaz crack 'em beers
Straight up that mean mug muthafucka havin' no fear
What the fuck
You thought I was one of them bitch niggaz standin' right here
Legit Ballaz is the clique I break bread with
Niggaz I bust lead with
In the midst of confrontation, high-speed chasin'
Bend 'em, and bust 'em and stick 'em, I'm runnin' from the FED's shit
This is the New Testament, uh-huh we never dead bitch - NO
I'll make that damn fool get on his knees and say please
Bitches in the neighborhood spreadin' disease
Hatin' ass niggaz starin' and studyin' me
Cause I'm fresh up out the bank to get my daughter some cheese
But I got somethin' on my side like a lemon to squeeze
Lickin' bout a pack up at you muthafuckaz right at the knees
Probably givin' somethin' to fools cause the man in need
I been deep up in this game for a century
Now I'm makin' major moves and stackin' paper is my motto
Different day, different gear, hoppin' out a different auto
Put it on and I'll be jackin' off louchers like lotto
Showin' love to my niggaz who show me love in Chicago
It's fair but it's square, for the love of the game or they hate it
Many done died, plenty done tried from imitatin' it
Fuck what they say, keep faith in this world you'll make it
Thank him for everythang and every blessin' but don't fake it
Trapped up in this wild life, thinkin' to myself
Askin' the Lord for forgiveness and thankin' him for my wealth
The block is on low when these slickers ain't plantin' drugs
Saturated with racial hatred result in a slug
That's why I stay high, gone off green
Fuckin' up muthafuckaz lyrically with the Beam
Got you and yo boys losin' yo breath like ??
Never disrespect a Legit Balla when on the scene
Ooh wee I rip shit like velcro
Get off in the studio
Fuck up the punk that step up got the umm next nigga screamin' "Oh No"
Just when you thought that I was gon' fall I fuck around and ummm
Cock back explode, reload
Hit you with some shit that make you shake and shiver as I deliver
Shots from the 4-0
NO-NO!!

Whoa whoa whoa why, baby
Whoa whoa whoa what did I do
Whoa whoa whoa why, tell me
Whoa whoa whoa why
Baby, don't turn away if I try to talk to you
Words don't come easy when there's nothing you can say that's new
You can crush my heart
by the tone of your voice
build up my hope
it's all in your choice
You can give me the look
That cuts me so small
Cancel me out
For no reason at all
Whoa whoa whoa why, baby
Whoa whoa whoa what did I do
Whoa whoa whoa why, tell me
Whoa whoa whoa why
Baby get on the phone
You're gonna come out tonight
You're gonna get new clothes
Girl, you're gonna dress up right
Can you see what's inside
When you make up your eyes
When you pull on your jeans
Do they curve around tight
Are you hinting at action
By just standing still
When he comes up to talk
Girl, then why do you kill
Whoa whoa whoa why, baby
Whoa whoa whoa what did he do
Whoa whoa whoa why, tell me
Whoa whoa whoa why did he do
Baby, don't turn away
If I try to talk to you
Words don't come easy
When there's nothing
You can say that's new
You can crush my heart
By the tone of your voice
Build up my hopes
It's all in your choice
You can give me the look
That cuts me so small
Freeze in my tracks
For no reason at all
Whoa whoa whoa why, baby
Whoa whoa whoa what did I do
Whoa whoa whoa why, tell me
Whoa whoa whoa what did I do
Whoa whoa whoa why
Whoa whoa whoa why
Whoa whoa whoa why
Whoa whoa whoa why
Death comes by sacred vision not something in the night
Friends dying in crash collision
Hide the cross to be polite
Hand of death in accusation from the body trapped in the box
From where'd the stains on my palm come
Say a prayer as time we mock
Black curtains fall on an empty soul
While I stand back and watch the tears roll
Why didn't I tell you when I had the chance to tell you
Why didn't I show you I wish I could go back to show you
Field of dreams in desolation
The memories of wasted time
Sea of hope drowned in his coffin
Depending on my choice of mind
Until my spirit passes through the realm of immortality

It's tearin' up my heart when I'm with you
But when we are apart, I feel it too
And no matter what I do, I feel the pain
With or without you
Baby I don't understand just why we can't be lovers
Things are getting out of hand
Trying too much but baby we can't win
Let it go; If you want me girl let me know
I am down on my knees; I can't take it any more
It's tearin' up my heart when I'm with you
But when we are apart, I feel it too
And no matter what I do, I feel the pain
With or without you
Baby don't misunderstand
(Don't misunderstand)
What I'm trying to tell you
In the corner of my mind
(Corner of my mind)
Baby it feels like we're running out of time
Let it go; If you want me girl let me know
I am down on my knees; I can't take it any more
It's tearin' up my heart when I'm with you
But when we are apart, I feel it too
And no matter what I do, I feel the pain
With or without you
Tearin up my heart and soul
When we're apart I feel it too
And no matter what I do
I feel the pain with or without you
(Repeat)
It's tearin' up my heart when I'm with you
But when we are apart, I feel it too
And no matter what I do, I feel the pain
With or without you
And no matter what I do I feel the pain
With or without you
There's a kind of sadness in my mind
He came back and I know love is blind
I hope she would love me in the end
Though I knew she liked me like a friend
Look at me, look at my face when I'm saying
That I need you
And when I tell you that I'm staying
Then you know it's true
Why, why don't you hear me
Where, where are the good times we had
Why, why do you love him
Why, why do you need him so bad
Now I'm back I realise that you're the finest love I've
ever had
There's no need to sigh, no need to cry
There's no need to scream another why
Even that won't reach her little ears
'Cause she's deaf and blind when he appears
Look at me, look at my face when I'm saying
That I need you
And when I tell you that I'm staying
Then you know it's true
Why, why don't you hear me
Where, where are the good times we had
Why, why do you love him
Why, why do you need him so bad
Now I'm back I realise that you're the finest love I've
ever had
Why, why don't you hear me
Where, where are the good times we had
Why, why do you love him
Why, why do you need him so bad
It's been this many years
It's been that many years
And still have to ask the same question
Why?
Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night
When you and me would kiss at night
Remember what we tripped like
Why don't it feel like felt on the first night
Now it's so hard to find two words to say
Funny me, funny you
Don't have nothing lft in common
You wanted me to have your heart
Now you want it back
What about the promise you made to me
That you wouldn't trade the key in for no damn reason
And suddenly we're flying high
Now it's Mayday we're falling fast
You're trying to get lost
I'm trying to pull up
And damn I can't say
You said you didn't need me
I really didn't think that you would leave me
Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night
When you and me would kiss at night
Remember what we tripped like
Why don't it feel like felt on the first night
Now it's so hard to find two words to say
Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night
When we were saying things like where have you been all my life
Why don't it feel like felt on the first night
Now it's so hard to find two words to say
Now the kids are looking at me like I'm to blame
No longer got their respect for me
Don't want to hear what I'm saying
I know how it feels to be ashamed
Cause when I was young I felt that pain too
And I can't say nothing that would cause you to make a change
And that's the reason that we're going our separate ways
Then who am I fooling
What am I doing thinking you love me
Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night
When you and me would kiss at night
Remember what we tripped like
Why don't it feel like felt on the first night
Now it's so hard to find two words to say
Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night
When we were saying things like where have you been all my life
Why don't it feel like felt on the first night
Now it's so hard to find two words to say
You would think by this time I would get it right
Know the schemes and the things that make it be right
When you said you could stay no longer
I thought I had just a little more daylight
LIke when we use to turn a fight into a good night
I know the things I use to do to make you feel right
I would give anything the fortune I made
To bring back the days that the feeling was so right
Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night
When you and me would kiss at night
Remember what we tripped like
Why don't it feel like felt on the first night
Now it's so hard to find two words to say
Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night
When we were saying things like where have you been all my life
Why don't it feel like felt on the first night
Now it's so hard to find two words to say
Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night
When you and me would kiss at night
Remember what we tripped like
Why don't it feel like felt on the first night
Now it's so hard to find two words to say
Why don't it feel like it felt on the first night
When we were saying things like where have you been all my life
Why don't it feel like felt on the first night
Now it's so hard to find two words to say
Why the dreams we had we threw them all away
It must've been in a place so dark you couldn't feel the light
Reachin' for you through that stormy cloud
Now here we are gathered in our little hometown
This can't be the way you meant to draw a crowd
Oh, why? That's what I keep askin'
Was there anything I could have said or done?
Oh, I had no clue you were masking
A troubled soul, God only knows what went wrong
And why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song
Now in my mind I keep you frozen as a seventeen year old
Roundin' third to score the winning run
You always played with passion no matter what the game
When you took the stage, you shined just like the sun
Oh, why? That's what I keep askin'
And was there anything I could have said or done?
Oh, I had no clue you were masking
A troubled soul, oh, God only knows what went wrong
And why you'd leave the stage in the middle of a song
Now the oak trees are swayin' in the early autumn breeze
The golden sun is shining on my face
The tangled thoughts I hear a mockingbird sing
This old world really ain't that bad a place
Oh, why? There's no comprehending
And who am I to try to judge or explain?
Oh, but I do have one burning question
Who told you life wasn't worth the fight?
They were wrong, they lied, and now you're gone, and we cried
'Cause it's not like you to walk away in the middle of a song
Here in the unknown
I took the blind eternal leap
There's a face that I show
And the one that's in too deep
You know all the blame
Comes to lie with me
We're two lines
That never meet
I don't even know why
I feel I'm alone
When I'm with you
It's not as if I don't try
I feel like I'm alone
When I'm with you
Weak in the bones
Nothing left but dying dreams
And you're still here to hold
And for me it's bittersweet
You and I turn to grey
Fighting back the years
All the while
HOOK:
Why is it more that things change the more they stay the same?
Why do old people drive slow in the fast lane?
Why is it when I grab the mic you stare at me strange?
Why's every time I eat I get my shirt stained? (dang!)
Wassup Tremaine, what, your name's Wayne?
Dang man, why can't I just remember people's names?
All the same there's a question in my mind
Why do I have to wait in line just to wait in another line
And when I think I'm done I gots to do it one more time?
Why oh why am I always stuck behind
The lady who has writes a check in the express check out line?
Excuse me miss, it's 10 items not 99.
Why do most rappers they just spit the same rhymes?
Why do girls go to the bathroom at the same time?
Why when something's wrong I just say I'm fine?
But why ask why when I ask it all the time?
CHORUS:
Why is the grass green? Why's the sky blue?
Why oh why do I do what I do?
Can you please tell me why that is cause I don't have a clue?
Now why is that? I was about to ask you.
Why am I me? and why are you you?
Why do we run in circles chasing after nothing new?
Somebody won't you please tell me why because I haven't got a clue?
Yo why is it my man? I was about to ask you.
(Soulheir the manCHILD)
Why do the voices in my head get louder when I try to sleep?
Why can't I seem to count all the leaping sheep?
I'm knee deep in distribution, retail, paperwork, and e-mail.
Why can't I afford a secretary to handle office detail?
Why are prices high, water wet, people cruel?
Why does every single record exec try to play me for the fool?
Why don't bar stools have backs? Do they want the drunks to fall off?
And why do we have to fill up all the precious silence with small talk?
Why do all walk with our heads down and walkmans up to ten?
Are we afraid to let a stranger in every now and then?
Why do sucker emcees spit loud and claim to be the hardest
And then sit down to write their rhymes with a dictionary plus a thesaurus?
Why does the commerce strange art instead of the other way around?
I guess it's hard to work the angles when the cipher's always round.
Why do we drown our sorrow, reach both hands out for tomorrow
When just living today is hard enough to swallow? Why?
CHORUS
(Soulheir the manCHILD)
Why do conceptual song structures cramp my style and hand alike?
Why do organized emcee battles make wack rappers grab the mic?
Why am I here, cause the instruction manual wasn't clear?
Why does my transmission make that sound when I try to shift it's gears?
Why is my stereo so loud? Do I want all neighbors to hear?
Am I my own street team member try to catapult my career?
Why does a dog bark, bee sting, bird sing?
But first things first, why do you burn my album with left hands on your purse string?
(KJ)
Why do we disrespect each other instead of loving one another?
Why do we have to focus on the skin tone and color?
Why can't we see that we sisters and we brothers
And understand we all equal to God and plus He loves us?
Bust this. Ima say this just again and again.
Why oh why can't we all be friends?
But there's one things I just can't comprehend.
Why do they put Braille at a drive-up ATM's?
I guess that's for all the car driving blind men.
Why do we just hate God but really love to sin?
Really, man, shouldn't that be just the other way around?
Why do I always have to laugh when somebody falls down?
Why do things get worse when they're already going wrong?
Why's customer service put me on hold for so long?
Why do you tell me to hold on when I'm already holding on?
Why can't we all just get along?
CHORUS
Why does fast food take so long to get it?
Why do people fart in public and say someone else did it?
Why do you ask my opinion but get mad when I give it?
And why ask for wisdom if you ignore the Holy Spirit?
Now check the lyrics cause this might apply to you.
Dude, why's brushing your teeth just like so hard for you?
Now if your breath stank, don't be be saying "Hi, how are you?"
If I give you a breath mint, don't be like, "No, thank you."
Get a clue, now tell me why your clothes is fake, too.
Why do you say it's FUBU when ya know it's PUBU?
And why do you say yes when you really mean no?
Why do you tell me to stop when you really mean go?
Why's the bad choice the one choice I always chose?
But in spite of how I acted, why did God love me so
Much the He would just pay the price of my soul?
But I don't need to ask why. I already know.
Why do the babies starve
When there's enough food to feed the world
Why when there're so many of us
Are there people still alone
Why are the missiles called peace keepers
When they're aimed to kill
Why is a woman still not safe
When she's in her home?
Love is hate
War is peace
No is yes
And we're all free
But somebody's gonna have to answer
The time is coming soon
Amidst all these questions and contradictions
There're some who seek the truth
But somebody's gonna have to answer
The time is coming soon
When the blind remove their blinders
Turned on the news today,
What else do I see?
Something going on somewhere else
It means the world to me.
Shots going off,
Right on my TV.
And I can't help myself,
To think this could be me.
Why do we have to fight?
Why do we have to cry?
Sacrifice our lives
To prove we have the right,
Then sleep these lonely nights.
Why does it have to hurt,
To mend these endless burns?
What do we have to lose,
There's nothing left to prove.
Where there's a will, there's a way.
Walking down the road today,
A lady came up to me
Asking where her child had gone,
It's so hard to believe.
One minute you're there,
The next minute you're gone.
What's going on?
And I can't help myself,
To think these things went wrong.
Why do we have to fight?
Why do we have to cry?
Sacrifice our lives
To prove we have the right,
Then sleep these lonely nights.
Why does it have to hurt,
To mend these endless burns?
What do we have to lose,
There's nothing left to prove.
Where there's a will, there's a way.
Why do we have to fight?
Why do we have to cry?
Sacrifice our lives
To prove we have the right,
Then sleep these lonely nights.
Why does it have to hurt,
To mend these endless burns?
What do we have to lose,
There's nothing left to prove.
Why did it have to be a friend
Who chose to betray the Lord
Why did he use a kiss to show them
That's not what a kiss is for
Only a friend can betray a friend
A stranger has nothing to gain
And only a friend comes close enough
To ever cause so much pain
And why did there have to be thorny
Crown pressed upon His head
It should have been the royal one
Made of jewels and gold instead
It had to be a crown of thorns
Because in this life that we live
For all who seek to love
A thorn is all the world has to give
And why did it have to be
A heavy cross He was made to bare
And why did they nail His feet and hands
His love would have held Him there
It was a cross for on a cross
A thief was supposed to pay
And Jesus had come into the world
To steal every heart away
Yes, Jesus had come into the world
Sitting around watching T.V.
Taking it slow, taking it easy
Wanting to buy, wanting to hide
And I'm wondering, wondering, wondering why.
Why is the word I want to hear
Why is the word the government fears
Why does the government fucking lie
Oh, the sandman is running
Oh, he ain't telling you why
But she knows, yeah, she knows
Oh, the thunder is roaring
Oh, hear his wings in the sky
And he knows
She don't know, she don't know, she don't know
She don't know, she don't know, she don't know why
Oh, why
She wants it bad, ohh, she wants it bad, ohh
When you're lost and found a brand new way
Here comes another happy end
Now the black night is falling
Oh, see that tear in your eye
'Cause you know
You don't know, you don't know, you don't know
You don't know, you don't know, you don't know why
Oh, why
She wants it bad, ohh, she wants it bad, ohh
When you're lost and found a brand new way
Here comes another happy end
Oh, now the new day is dawning
Ohh, to my past kiss goodbye
And you know
We don't know, we don't know, we don't know
We don't know, we don't know, we don't know
We don't know, we don't know, we don't know why
Ohh, why, w-w-why
Ohh, why, ohh, why, oh, why
I'm sitting here reading the book of life
constantly asking myself why
why do babies have to die
and a mother gives up a price
can you see the man on the streets
doesn't even have enough to eat
and tell me when your walking by
can you see the tears in his eye
somebody please tell me why
why does this world seem so cold
just like a rich man who won't give a pot a gold
before my life comes to an end let's try to make amends and let's give it a chance
tell me why
Baby don't know her fathers name
mother's confused just the same
she's saying that it's alright
but she needs a father in her life
somebody please tell me why
just like the sand on the beach
just like the ocean runs so deep
we all must take our part
and dig deep in our heart
but I don't know where to start
someone tell me why
why, why does this world seem so cold
just like a rich man who won't give a pot of gold
oh no, why, why before my life comes to an end
let's try to make amends and let's give it a chance
oh tell me why
why do things go the way they do
everybody I'm asking you can we
turn around, turn around, turn around
Things don't have to be this way
I'm looking for a better day can we
Where in a barroom, when last night
What was I doin', I was holdin' someone tight
Who oh just someone who didn't mean a thing
How well I just slipped off my wedding ring
Why, I don't know, I didn't mean to hurt you
I don't wanna see you go
Girl you know me well enough to know that I don't lie
And I can answer every question but, why
Where at her place when around closing time
What were we drinking, tequila, salt and lime
Who but a fool like me could hurt someone like you
And how can you forgive me after all I've put you through
Why, I don't know, I didn't mean to hurt you
I don't wanna see you go
Girl you know me well enough to know that I don't lie
And I can answer every question but, why
How could I believe in what you said?
How could I be so fucking blind?
I was thinking with my stupid heart
And not with my wicked mind
Why am I so stupid to believe in what you say?
Why? Tell Me Why!
I wish I could change everything
Back to the way it used to be
But no one in this world can turn back time
No not even precious little me
Why am I so stupid to believe in what you say?
Why? Tell Me Why!
I am such a fool to believe in you
Now everything is wrong and what can I do
You put the blame on me
I put the blame on you
Why must I move so slow
In my heart I can't let it go
And dreams fall into my eyes
In the night I have no disguise
Why does it seem to go
Fall apart in lies
Seems we will never know
Always asking why
Please let us stop this now
No it don't matter anyhow
This heart's trivialities
Are the world's sole realities
I know that it's over now
But I still want it anyhow
This heart's sole realities
Why? Why'd you do that?
You shouldn't have done that
If I told you once, I told you three times
You'll get your punishment when you
Show me your crimes
It's not a spell or a curse you put on me
Or the way you smile so tenderly
But how I wish it was your temper you were throwing
Damn you for being so easygoing
I thought that time would tell
My sins would provoke you to raise some hell
Not a chance
Whatever happened to fiery romance
Oh how I wish it was those dishes you were throwing
Damn you for being so easygoing
No, don't give me that line
Don't try to tell me inaction is not a crime
Can't you see what kind of seeds you're sowing?
What is going on
Everytime i try to talk
You screamin baby
(Cover your mouth
Tellin our business, I got weakness)
I cant be wrong
Cause I gave you my heart
And you played me
(Accusing me of doing things that i would never do to you)
You say i see other girls
You say you trippin cause I
Wouldnt be the one to be found out
Because im not that kind of guy
Never wanted somebody else
Then not said goodbye
Been trying to work it out
Girl tell me...

Always running back to me

You thinkin that i'm doing you dirty ba-by
You better understand not to wild again
But if i'm no good for you
Then baby im no good for you
So tell me why are you still here
Time and time again,
Back and forth and then
Hating and loving
Breaking and making up
Should we start again
Should we let it end
Staying and leaving, baby
Baby I can't take it,
We're in and we're out of love
But I can't shake it
Our souls are so twisted up
I'm so frustrated,
The truth has become a lie
Why can't we make it, baby why
Why do we act this way,
Why do we play these games,
Why do we fuss and fight
Why can't we get it right (oh)
Why does it have to hurt
Why can't we make this work
Why do we still hold on,
Maybe we just gone wrong
Broken hears and then
Time apart to mend
Worst or for better
Lovers and even friends
Down through thick and thin
Down until the end
Brave under pressure, baby
Baby I can't take it,
We're in and we're out of love
But I can't shake it
Our souls are so twisted up
I'm so frustrated,
The truth has become a lie
Why can't we make it, baby why
Why do we act this way, (why do we)
Why do we play these games, (why, why, why)
Why do we fuss and fight (why do we, oh)
Why can't we get it right (oh)
Why does it have to hurt (i need to know)
Why can't we make this work (please baby)
Why do we still hold on,
Maybe we just gone wrong
Tired of all the pain
Of all the fussing and placing the blame
Cause love shouldn't be this way
Oh no, no
I thought we'd be better now
Forever is never now
Why do we try
Tell me why, why, why
Why do we act this way, (why do we act this way)
Why do we play these games, (don't wanna play no more games no, no)
Why do we fuss and fight (i'm tired of the fighting)
Why can't we get it right (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Why does it have to hurt (oh why do i hurt so bad)
Why can't we make this work (why can't we make it work)
Why do we still hold on (hey, hey, yeah)
Maybe we just gone wrong
Why Why Why
Hey... yeah yeah
Why do we act this way, (i need to know)
Why do we play these games, (i gotta know why can't we, why can't we)
Why do we fuss and fight (why do we oh, oh)
Why can't we get it right (you loved me, as if i loved you)
Why does it have to hurt (why)

Why can't we make it work
Why do we still hold on
Sitting around watching T.V.
Taking it slow, taking it easy
Wanting to buy, wanting to hide
And I'm wondering, wondering, wondering why.
Why is the word I want to hear
Why is the word the government fears
Why does the government fucking lie
I'm wondering, wondering, wondering why
Keep sayin' no to her since she was a baby
Keep sayin' no to her, not even maybe
Why?
Why?
You say there's a limit there, she can't go past that
She don't believe you, she don't think that's where it's at
Why?
Why?
You say she can't change that, it's the way you've always done it
She don't care about that, she thinks you've just begun it
Why?
Why?
You say it's a dead old world, dull and unforgiving
I don't know where you live, but you're not living
Why?
Why?
Keep sayin' no to her since she was a baby
Keep sayin' no to her, not even maybe
Why?
Why?
Why?
How many times, do I have to try to tell you
That I'm sorry for the things, I've done? ooh
But when I start to try to tell you
That's when you have to tell me
Hey, this kind of trouble's only just begun, yeah
I tell myself too many times
Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut?
That's why it hurts so bad, to hear the words
That keep on falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth, falling from your mouth
Tell me
Why?
Why?
I may be mad, I may be blind, I may be viciously unkind
But I can still read what you're thinking, ooh
And I've heard it said too many times, that you'd be better off
Besides, why can't you see this boat is sinking?
This boat is sinking, this boat is sinking
Let's go down to the water's edge
And we can cast away those doubts
Some things are better left unsaid
But they still turn me inside out
Turning inside out, turning inside out
Tell me
Why?
Tell me
Why?
This is the book, I never read
These are the words, I never said
This is the path, I'll never tread
These are the dreams, I'll dream instead
This is the joy, that's seldom spread
These are the tears, the tears we shed
This is the fear, this is the dread
These are the contents of my head
And these are the years, that we have spent
And this is what they represent
This is how I feel, do you know how I feel?
'Cause I don't think you know how I feel
I don't think you know what I feel
I don't think you know what I feel
I was childish and unfair
To you, my only friend
I regret, but now it's too late
I can't show you any more
The things I've learned from you
Cause life just took you away
I'm asking why
I'm asking why
Nobody gives an answer
I'm just asking why
But someday we'll meet again
And I'll ask you
I'll ask you why
Why it has to be like this
I'm asking you why
Please give me an answer
Many years and stupid fights
Till we accept to see
How it was and it'll always be
Why it has to be like this
Why we don't realize
Why we're too blind to see the one
Who's always on our side
I'm asking why
I'm asking why
Nobody gives an answer
I'm just asking why
Just tell me why Why it has to be like this
That the good ones disappear
I'm asking you why
I'm asking why
I'm asking why
Nobody gives an answer
I'm just asking why
Sometimes I'm alone,
Sitting on my very own,
Trying to find a simple kind of clue.
And I would like to know,
Why the Doozers move me so,
Doing all the things that Doozers do.
Why do caterpillars crawl?
Why is there a sky?
Why is there a world at all?
And why do I ask why?
Here I go again.
Why do questions never end?
What keeps callin' all day long to me?
Secrets come and go.
I know we're not the only ones.
Sometimes magic, sometimes only me.
Why do caterpillars crawl?
Why is there a sky?
Why is there a world at all?
And now , I know that I was wrong
You never really cared for me all along
And with you every dream I had
Was all it was , ain't that the fact
So I hold my head deep in my hands
I'm lost at sea no sign of land
I never knew what love could cost
No-one could know how much I've lost
I can't go on now that you've gone
Theres nothing left inside
I'll never understand why you had to lie
It's not enough to say you love
And then just say goodbye
I'll never break these chains
Theres no where to hide
Why did you have to lie?
And now that every hope has gone
I've got to find the strength to carry on
Alone , much more than before
I've given everything , theres nothing more
Why does it hurt so much when theres nothing I can do?
Why do I hate myself 'coz I can't stop loving you?
Now my life is empty
All I have is pain
I can't forget you
Why couldn't you have stayed?
Abandoned, without a word
Trust, broken without hope
Accused, seen as a loser
Punished, the heart broken
I recall your smile - I recall your smile
Endearing, the way you caressed me -
Blazing, an endless sea of light
Demolish, every thing once built
Shattered, the escape from the unknown
Wounded, affected till eternity
Lost, what you once possessed
I recall your smile - I recall your smile
Endearing, the way you caressed me -
Blazing, an endless sea of light
Without reason - Tell me why? Without words - Tell me why?
Without desire - Tell me why? Without sorrow - Tell me why?
Raped, by your own time
Pensive, loneliness remains
Expecting the inner sense
Fading, your voice dies away
I recall your smile - I recall your smile
Endearing, the way you caressed me -
Blazing, an endless sea of light
Without reason - Tell me why? Without words - Tell me why?
Without desire - Tell me why? Without sorrow - Tell me why?
Tell me Why? Tell me Why?
Endearing, the way you caressed me -
Blazing, an endless sea of light
Without reason - Tell me why? Without words - Tell me why?
Without desire - Tell me why? Without sorrow - Tell me why?
How in my head can I forget you make me suffer, Yeah!
Trying to see how far you'll push me underground
Back into the rhythm fast trippin me when your in my world, Yeah!
Everything you say I find a way to bring you down!
WHY!?
Another way for you to fake your way through your life, Yeah!
Remember everything you do will come around
Never Am I going back to think I'm on crack and you might like it, Yeah!
Will you ever fade away baby? Why don't you just get out of my life!
WHY!?
I think of you sometimes but I never believe in you again!
I think of you sometimes but I never believe in you again!
I think of you sometimes but I never believe in you again!
I think of you sometimes but I never believe in you again!
And I'll never look back!
WHY!?
You were my favorite girl, I was your favorite guy
And somehow I thought that we'd always be down, down
We went through crazy times, inside this crazy mind
Somehow I thought that you would always be around, oh no
Somehow we changed up, we flamed up
And every day you're fighting with me, baby, baby, baby
And then it came up, I asked did you love me?
(Baby, do you love me?)
Who knew that, that would be the last time we speak
All I could say is Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
(What did I do? What did I say? I didn't see this coming)
All I can say is, Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
(Oh why?)
For the last two months I was kissing you goodbye
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye
Kissing you goodbye
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye
Behind your lovely eyes, couldn't see those lovely lies
That kept recurring over the course of time
You could unbreak this glass heart
By just saying we're not apart
But how can I go on knowing my love is blind?
So many make ups, so many break ups
I never thought that I'd see you leave, you leave, you leave
I'ma put it to rest, 'cause all I want is the best for you
You still haven't told me how I hurt you, so I deserve the answer to
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
(What did I do? What did I say? I didn't see this coming)
All I can say is, Why?, Why?, Why?, Why?, Why?, Why?
(Oh why?)
For the last two months I was kissing you goodbye
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye
Kissing you goodbye
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye
Oh baby, how, can you leave me like this?
Through all the smiles and all the cries
The love we had I thought was divine
Oh why, could you do me like this?
I guess, love's questionless and what I've learned is this
There are no real answers to
Why? Why? Why? Why?
What did I do? What did I say? I didn't see this coming
Oh why? Why? Why? Oh baby, why? Why?
For the last two months I was kissing you goodbye
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye
Bye, goodbye
You were my favorite girl, I was your favorite guy
And somehow I thought that we'd always be down, down
We do almost everything that lovers do,
and that's why it's hard just to be friends with you.
Everytime your heart is broken by the fool,
I want you to know that it hurts me too.
It's hard to wipe your tears away.
Knowing that you should be with me.
Now tell me why..
Chorus:
Why, why are we still friends,
when everything says we should be more than we are?
and tell me why,
everytime I find someone that I like,
we always end up just being friends.
I would hate for you to find somebody new,
Who you really love, cause it would mean losing you.
But am I a fool girl not to see,
if I'm always scared I'll lose you anyway.
Somehow somewhere I've got to choose.
No matter if it's win or lose.
Now tell me why..
(Chorus)
I don't wanna be like your brother,
I don't wanna be your best friend.
I only wanna be your lover.
When will this end?
If i told you that I want to be in your life,
then you could be the woman in mine.
Now tell me
(Chorus x2)

Sky's the limit so you know I'm gonna rise and shine
I gotta do my thing, I'm kinda getting a little tired of all that's hidden
That's the reason I'ma speak my mind
Keep from going insane now work with it
We in the last innin', the world keeps spinnin'
My people steady losin' while the rich keep winnin'
It's like we neva smilin' and the devil steady grinnin'
Killin' what we representin' even our children and women
2K4, livin' above and under the law
Young teen joins the marines, says he'll die for the core
Inducted up into the government's war
As if the land of money and oil funny how ain't none of it's yours
I can't sleep yo I'm paranoid, it's code orange
It's far from right, I guess that's why it feels so wrong
To see the world get stripped out of every resource
And people pray to Coca-Cola now instead of the Gods
What's goin' on?
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why? Why?
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why? Why?
Keepin' your head above water, hustlin' to survive
Some people chasin' a dream, others just chasin' a high
Some people blind leading the blind, they chasin' a lie
Some people chokin' backs broken barely makin' it by
But still they workin' all they life, they pushin' for the light
Givin' everything they got to stitch them swishes on ya Nike's
Puttin' pockets on our jeans, mining diamonds for them rings
Rewarded with small change and bullets in they brains
And it makes me feel strange everything we take for granted
At times I feel stranded on this planet of mine
Now should I pull the hammer, clap it out and laugh about it?
Or stand up, be counted while I cast my ballot?
When the undertaker's busy and the prison's is crowded
People livin' in fear because they vision is clouded
But the sky's the limit, I ain't cryin' you a river
Gotta move me a mountain, I'm a git up and shout it
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why? Why?
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why? Why?
When I dream it's hounds on my heels gainin' momentum
I'm tired, can't get uninspired or quit runnin'
I can feel they only inches behind, I escape, I survive
Some how I gotta decide how much I want it
Or is anybody listenin' without a pot to piss in
If I disappear I wonder if the world will know I'm missin'
Who my support system, it's not the court system
Gotta letter which said that you're not avoiding prison
People 'neath the microscope 'cause we defining the culture
They smile and insult you like you shinin' their loafers
Them old heads say we need a modern day Moses
When the leaders is posers we needing some soldiers
It's the X generation, the anger in a nation
Got the writing on the wall so clear that I can taste it
Like a kid sniffing glue somewhere trying to escape
'Cause we vulnerable and naked gotta show 'em we can make it
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why? Why?
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why? Why? Why? Why? Why?
Besides her man she kneels
Holds him tight and begins to cry
Why why why but why
Her loved one's just another piece of meat on the battlefields
Her cries break out into screams
As she now becomes hysterical with grief
I'm drinking "Mother's Ruin"
And grooving-out to 'You Am I'
"Well, Hi !"
I'm cornered and I'm hoping
For once your mouth ain't open wide
Oh, My! My! My! My!
Tell me why
You can't look me in the eye?
Tell me why
You always have to lie?
What is that strange aroma
That tells me you're not bona-fide?
Oh, why, why, why, why?
It's always necessary
To get you're stories verified.
Oh why..... why, why, why?
Tell me why you can't look me in the eye?
Tell me why you always have to lie?
Tell me why, 'cos it's pointless to deny!
Please tell me why?
So help me,
Your friends are getting fewer.
Have you considered suicide? (You might try)
Your cookie has to crumble
And you'll be eating humble pie in the sky by-and-by.
Tell me why you can't look me in the eye?
Tell me why you always have to lie?
Tell me why cos it's pointless to deny!
Tell me why you don't just curl up and die?
Tell me why?
Chorus:
Why's this always happen, ay yo, looking in the future still feeling smothered
Rappers always acting, day after day, one time after another
Life has got me trapped in, I can't jump these hurdles
I'm stuck in the circle, but I'm a be the last one laughing
It kind of makes me wonder, like damn, what happened to my people
What happened to commitment dropping sequel after sequel
Was I the only one that wanted to finish what we started
Was I the only one that had the guts to work the hardest
I guess so, cause you ain't nowhere to be found
Hey yo, my left blow could make an mc hit the ground
I'm in erect mode, whenever rhyming must occur
You prefer to take the path, do the math it won't add up
Won't take the ladder, combining data, mind over matter
Ain't really caring what ya do my glass will never shatter
My pockets ain't no fatter from yesterday
But at least I got paid dues all over my resume
What, you don't pay dues you don't move
And ah, What, don't wanna lose you conclude, but ah
I ain't the one to point my fingers at the man
If the man can't hold his own, drop the microphone
Now what you think
Chorus
So why is life a trip, taking turns sharp like a razor blade
Avoiding people holding back like it was laser tag
Feeling trapped like I'm stuck in this obstacle
People saying think straight but kid I can't think logical
Now what, what I'm supposed to do to switch this
Used to be about the money not the business
But times change so I modify the tactics
Update the flow but still commit lyrical backflips
The gymnastic, master of the ceremony
While others coming phony I'll be off can't control me
So get a hold of me, let me know what's on your mind
I'm calling from your ladies house, star sixty-nine
I ain't lying ask her what was her response
Did she say anything about activity on the lawn
Probably not cause your girl don't kiss and tell,
Missing action, should have kept the mic, now who's laughing, me
Chorus
Ah yo, my third verse, last topic of discussion
No introduction, but got you focused with no interruptions
Up to nothing, the way I won't commit this
Admit it, you did it, acquitted, forget it, yo
I'm like the conscience that watches the steps you take
I'm like the teacher in this game that makes it levitate
Now I can hold my weight, so name another
Never once dropped my head and ran for cover
Or shelter, I melt ya, with flows I connect with
Respected, injected, mc's be infected
With disease, so I breeze by without a doubt
The illest coming out, what you think I talk about, what
I don't have any philosophy
Why do I know what I know?
I see the world in a coffee cup
And when I drink it down there I go
We have our own kind of universe
Sometime but not always true
How come? Wait! Maybe I think it is
The view is very nice and it's big through and through
I got skills and I got secrets, I can part my hair
I feel an empty space where love could be
In adjoining universes
Touching here and there
I stick my head outside and I can see - that
Particles spin 'round a nucleus
Planets encircle the sun
Further out there is the Milky Way
The coolest part of all cracks me up, Ev'rytime
Life isn't really miraculous
It had to happen this way
We had to meet in this checkout line
Explain it as a simple twist of fate
They say that into every life
Some rain must fall
For the pain is no respector
Of the mighty or the small
But sometimes
It just seems so Unfair
To see the One who’s had
More than His share
Oh it makes you wonder why
And Lord
I wouldn’t second guess
Your mighty plan
For I know You have a purpose
That’s beyond the scope of man
If You look inside my heart
You will find
That I have always been
The Trusting kind
Oh but still I wonder
CHORUS
Do the rainy days have to come
When the storm clouds hide the sun
I wanna know why
When the reasons aren’t clear to me
When it all is a mystery
I want to know why
And though down here
I may not understand
I won’t let go
Of the Unseen hand
For It holds the reasons why
The Lord has never been afraid
Of honest prayers
And He won’t allow the burden
To be more than you can bear
When He knows that you’re trust
Is in Him
He doesn’t mind the questions
Now and then
Even if you wonder
Once water took the fire
And landscapes ate the seas
Then preachers grew and hatred too
The birth of a disease
I'm afraid of new crusaders
Who force our freedom's fall
Religions still course so much pain
And backs against the wall
Are we just too blind to see
Will we never learn how great
This life could be
Why do we praise the fight
Tell me why
Can't we take the night away
Why must children cry
Can't we make this world a better place
Without hatred day by day
Why can't we finally find a way
We need no heroes
To protect us from our fears
Just by filling children's eyes with tears
Innocent victims of fanatics gone insane
"This power will last forever" they said
And millions died in vain
Are we just too blind to see
Why do we praise the fight
Tell me why
Can't we take the night away
Why must children cry
Can't we make this world a better place
Without hatred day by day
Why can't you try to be happy
Why must you always be sad?
Why spend your only life waitin'
To have what you know can have
Why spend your only life hopin'
What a torture to always be blue
Darlin'
Why spend your only life waitin'
To do what you know you can do?
What's the worst the worst thing
that could possibly happen to you?
Why spend your only life hopin'
What a torture to be always blue
Darlin'
Why spend your only life waitin'
To do what you know you can do?
You gotta believe me
You cannot deceive me
You gotta be everything I ever wanted
Will you stand bye me
See what I see
Will you be every little thing to me
Will you...See my
One life's...So righteous
When I...Feel my
True life's...So worthless
Why: Why do I feel this way and why:
You could never ask of me
You cannot count on me
You couldn't ever once rely on me
Still you stand by me
Stand what's in me
Can you feel every little thing to me
Why: Why do I feel this way and why:
Why: Why cant I speak my mind and why:
Can you hear my words
Can you feel me breathing
Can you tell I'm dying
WHY:Everybody falls gotta keep on climbing
WHY:Do I feel this
WHY:Gotta be my life gotta be the meaning
WHY:Do I feel this
Don't believe what they say
Or trust what you hear
If it ever crosses what you know about me
Take a piece from in me
Guard it with pure greed
How many times do I have to try to tell you
That I'm sorry for the things I've done
But when I start to try to tell you
That's when you have to tell me
Hey... this kind of trouble's only just begun
I tell myself too many times
Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut
That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words
That keep on falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Tell me
I may be mad
I may be blind
I may be viciously unkind
But I can still read what you're thinking
And I've heard is said too many times
That you're better off
Besides...
Why can't you see this boat is sinking
(This boat is sinking this boat is sinking)
Let's go down to the water's edge
And we can cast away those doubts
Some things are better left unsaid
But they still turn me inside out
Turning inside out turning inside out Tell me...
Tell me...
This is the book I never read
These are the words I never said
This is the path I'll never tread
These are the dreams I'll dream instead
This is the joy that's seldom spread
These are the tears...
The tears we shed
This is the fear
This is the dread
These are the contents of my head
And these are the years that we have spent
And this is what they represent
And this is how I feel
Do you know how I feel?
'Cause I don't think you know how I feel
I don't think you know how I feel
I don't think you know how I feel
Aha, it's dead real
Yo, why is Jadakiss as hard as it gets
Why is the industry designed to keep the artist in debt
And why them dudes ain't ridin' if there part of your set
And why they never get it poppin' but they party to death
Yea, and why they gon' give you life for a murder
Turn around only give you eight months for a burner, it's goin' down
Why they sellin' niggaz, CD's for under a dime?
If it's all love daddy why you come wit' your nine?
Why my niggaz ain't get that cake?
Why is a brother up North better than Jordan?
That ain't get that break
Why you ain't stackin' instead of tryin' to be fly?
Why is rattin' at an all time high?
Why are you even alive?
Why they kill Tupac n' Chris?
Why at the bar you ain't take straight shots instead of poppin' Criss?
Why them bullets have to hit that door?
Why did Kobe have to hit that raw?
Why he kiss that whore? Why?
All that I been givin'
Is this pain that I've been living
They got me in the system
Why they gotta do me like that?
Try'd to make it my way
But got sent up on the highway
Why, oh why?
Why they do me like that?
Why would niggaz push pounds and powder?
Why did bush knock down the towers?
Why you around them cowards?
Why Aaliyah have to take that flight?
Why my nigga D ain't pull out his Ferrari?
Why he take that bike?
Why they gotta open your package and read your mail?
Why they stop lettin' niggaz get degreez in jail?
Why you gotta do eighty-five percent of your time?
And why do niggaz lie in eighty-five percent of they rhymes?
Why a nigga always want what he can't have?
Why I can't come through in the pecan Jag?
Why did crack have to hit so hard even though it's almost over?
Why niggaz can't get no jobs?
Why they come up wit' the witness protection?
Why they let the terminator win the election?
Come on, pay attention
Why sell in the stores what you can sell in the streets?
Why I say the hottest shit but be sellin' the least?
All that I been givin'
Is this pain that I've been living
They got me in the system
Why they gotta do me like that?
Try'd to make it my way
But got sent up on the highway
Why, oh why?
Why they do me like that?
Uh, yea, yo
Why Halle have to let a white man pop her to get a Oscar?
Why Denzel have to be crooked before he took it?
Why they didn't make the CL6 wit' a clutch?
And if you don't smoke why the hell you reachin' for my dutch?
Why rap, 'cuz I need air time?
Why be on the curb wit' a, ?Why lie, I need a beer? sign?
Why all the young niggaz is dyin'?
'Cuz they moms at work, they pops is gone, they livin' wit' iron
Why they ain't give us a cure for aids?
Why my diesel have fiends in the spot on the floor for days?
Why you screamin' like it's slug, it's only the hawk?
Why my buzz in L.A. ain't like it is in New York?
Why you forcin' you to be hard?
Why ain't you a thug by choice?
Why the whole world love my voice?
Why try to tell 'em that it's the flow son?
And you know why they made the new twenties
'Cuz I got all my old ones that's why
All that I been givin'
Is this pain that I've been living
They got me in the system
Why they gotta do me like that?
Try'd to make it my way
But got sent up on the highway
Why, oh why?
The sky has fallen on my yesterday
I watch my moon and blue sun (?) slip away
Everybody's asking questions
Everybody's wanting more
Every time I catch myself, I fall
And it's why you ask me
And it's why i don't know
And i try to pull myself togehter
I don't want to go home (?)
The little girl has lost her way today
The tables turning on the game she plays
Everybody's asking questions
Everybody's wanting more
Every time I catch myself, I fall
And it's why you ask me
And it's why I don't know
And I try to pull myself together
I don't want to go home
Every time I catch myself, I fall
And it's why you ask me
And it's why I don't know
And I try to pull myself together
I don't want to go home
And it's why you ask me
And it's why I don't know
And I try to pull myself together
I don't want to go home
Why does the rain fall from the sky?
How can a sugar pill take this pain away?
I should have known that you would break my heart.
You've ended something that didn't have a chance to start.
Put out the stars. Rub out the sky.
Look to the future. Wipe the teardrop from my eye.
Shut out the sun. Put out the light.
Want you to tell me how you're gonna make it right.
Why am I crying over you?
Why? 'Cos there's nothing else that I can do.
Why do I always look a fool?
Why?
Wish I'd read the signs and left you well alone.
God, I wanna call you but I can't pick up the phone.
Put out the stars. Rub out the sky.
Look to the future. Wipe the teardrop from my eye.
Shut out the sun. Bring on the night.
Want you to show me how you're gonna make it right.
Why am I crying over you?
Why? 'Cos there's nothing else I can do.
Why do I always look a fool?
Why?
Why am I crying over you?
(Tell me why. Why does the rain fall from the sky?)
Why? 'Cos there's nothing else that I can do.
(Why do the tears fall from my eyes?)
Why do I always look a fool?
(Why does the rain fall from the sky?)
Why? (Oh tell me why)
[Dedicated to Jens Roos 1978-1986]
Why? Taken away and gone forever cry I will always remember you
If I could turn back time and make a new tomorrow lost in memories I cry
These tears are meant for you I'm crying over you
Why take away the life of an innocent child
a part of me will always be a part of you
Pain a broken heart, a darkened soul
but life must go on even though the darkest time
Saw you the other day.
I don't know what to say.
I'd give you my entire life,
If you'd just tell me when the time is right.
Why do you make me feel this way?
Why do you make me feel this way?
Saw you the other day.
You told me to go away.
Dunno what to do now,
'Cause I am lost without you.
When I am lost without you,
I don't know what to do.
Why do you make me feel this way?
Why do you make me feel this way?
Don't know what I'm gonna do
Now that I don't have you.
Don't know what I'm gonna say to you.
Why do you make me feel this way?
Why do you make me feel this way?
I don't think about it no more
So why do you?
I don't remember much
But I am sure that we were through
I'm not looking for your eyes
To search for what they might disguise
So why do you?
I got no problem
So why do you?
You're blowing on the ashes
That's what I think you do
It's been a secret that never got
That deep inside
So it hurt the spot at any time
But deep inside
To hurt the spot at any time
After all this time
Why would I turn around for you?
The truth has faded into a lie
Among all things that I could do
I obviously still bother you, why do I?
I'm just wishing you could forgive
That is what we do
To make life easier to live
It's been a secret that never got
That deep inside
So it hurt the spot at any time
But deep inside
When I help you
It was something
That was nothing much to me
I was in it for the moment
Wanted someone touching me
And I didn't wanna fall in love
So why did you have to be
So beautiful so good to me
When I was
Only looking for someone to hold
Just for a while
Why I did to see your smile
Why did you have to be
The one who stayed in all my dreams
When I was nedding
Nothing more than someone to kiss
To hold in the night
Why did you have so right, so beautiful
When you touch me
It was something like no touch that I had known
I could feel it in that moment
That your touch had touched my soul
And I didn't wanna fall in love
So why did you have to be
So beautiful so good to me
When I was only looking for someone to hold
Just for a while
Why did I have to see your smile
Why did you have to be
The one who stayed in all my dreams
When I was nedding
Nothing more than someone to kiss
To hold in the night
Why did you have so right
Why did you
Have to say
The words that look my breath away
I was alright
I was just fine being free.
We rode into town the other day just me and my daddy
He said I'd finally reached that age
And I could ride next to him on a horse
That of course was not quite as wide
We heard a crowd of people shouting
And so we stopped to find out why
And there was that man that my dad said he loved
But today there was fear in his eyes
So I said, "Daddy why are they screaming?
Why are the faces of some of them beaming?
Why is he dressed in that bright purple robe?
I'll bet that crown hurts him more than he shows"
"Daddy please can't you do something?
He looks as if though he's gonna cry
You said He was stronger than all of those guys
Daddy please tell me why, why does everyone want him to die?
Later that day the sky grew cloudy
And daddy said I should go inside
Somehow he knew things would get stormy, Lord, was he right?
But I could not keep from wondering
If there was something he had to hide
So after he left I had to find out, I was not afraid of getting lost
So I followed the crowds to a hill where I knew men had been killed
And I heard a voice come from the cross
And it said, "Father why are they screaming?
Why are the faces of some of them beaming?
Why are they casting their lives for my own?
This crown of thorns hurts me more than it shows"
"Father, please can't you do something?
I know that you must hear my cry
I thought I could handle a cross of this size
Father remind me why, why does everyone want me to die?
When will I understand why?"
For my precious son, I hear them screaming
I'm watching the face of the enemy beaming
But soon I will clothe you in robes of my own
Jesus, this hurts me much more than you know
But this dark hour I must do nothing
Though I've heard you unbearable cries
The power in your blood destroys all of the lies
Soon you'll see past their unmerciful eyes
Look there below, see the child
Trembling by her father's side
Now I can tell you why
1 - Why do you keep doin' this to me?
And I fall for it every single time
You make me believe you've changed
Come to find out, you're just makin' me a game
Why do you keep doin' this?
No, why do I keep doin' this to myself?
Five thousand times, we've been off and on
Ain't takin' your shit, if I can't be number one
One more night I'm laying in my tears
I'm lonely, singin' sad songs
Can't believe that I was that gone
But tonight I'm gonna face my fears
Baby, it's over, gotta let you go
'cause with me, you could never be faithful
I know about the roses
That she sent, you said they were mine
They weren't mine
Though I'm tryin' to hide it, my pride
You know my heart is torn all apart
Repeat 1
Out of sight is where to go for me
I'll make it, I'll get along
No more crying, I'm singin' glad songs
Out of mind is where I know you'll be
You shoulda loved me when I was there
Now the love is gone, and I don't care
I know about the dream you had
You said that you dreamed of me
I wasn't sleepin'
You were all of my world, no more
My heart is weak, but my mind is strong
They seem to be in a state identical to that curious 20th century earth disease called hard drug abuse.
I had to get high,
Didn't matter how at the time.
Dirty needles,
Gave me a disease.
Yellow eyes, yellow skin,
My liver bleeds!
But I don't need it anymore,
And why I ever did before?
Why? Why?
All my insecurities.
An escape that led to this disease.
Addiction is something I don't need!
I had to get high,
Didn't matter how at the time.
Dirty needles,
Gave me a disease.
Yellow eyes, yellow skin,
My liver bleeds!
But I don't need it anymore,
And why I ever did before?
Why? Why?
All my insecurities.
An escape that led to this disease.
Addiction is something I don't need!
But I don't need it anymore,
And why I ever did before?
Why? Why?
Why? Why? Why? Why?
All my insecurities.
An escape that led to this disease.
Addiction is something I don't need!
I am not here
I think I've never been here at all or ever will be
I feel like a place
Where no one goes anymore
Why can't you see that everything's
Why does it seem this life's broken? turned gray?
I can't believe in anything sacred
When I don't believe that I am real
It seems so bizarre
But none of this matters
Thoughts disappear, hope has died
Now I am safe, nothing can hurt me here
Why can't you see my need for forgiveness?
The truth and the lies confused as one
I can't believe in anything sacred
When I don't believe in anything
I am alone
Locked in my memories
There's nowhere left for me to hide
But I am not real
I've made all I am with lies
Why does it seem that everything's different?
Why does it seem that only you are real?
I don't believe in anything sacred
So, why do I feel so damned alone?
I need someone to break the silence
That's screaming in my head
You can always win me over,
with your cool vibes and logical point of view.
For you I'd go babe, the extra mile,
But you confuse me, so I'm gonna ask you,
Why are you making me blue?
Is it because baby, your so sad inside.
And why, are you making me cry?
Is it because baby, your so terrified.
You don't wanna talk about it,
Say I'm crazy and it's all inside my head.
But I'm not gonna, let it go.
Let's start talking, take it slow.
Don't be frightened, I won't bite ya,
Move in closer. I just wanna hold your hand.
Come on baby, don't say no.
Let's start talking, keep on talking.
Why are you making me blue?
Is it because baby, your so sad inside.
And why, are you making me cry?
Look at me up in the sky,
Watch the world just pass me by,
And all my feelings give me away,
It's happening more everyday.
Loving you could be so easy,
Loving you could be so great,
Loving you could be so easy,
Loving you could be so great.
Well how can I try to explain?
Your story never seems to stay the same,
You're out of touch and I'm out of time,
Just talk to me a while,
And joke about the things wee used to see,
It's so hard for me to smile.
I never felt so alone,
After all of this there's so much more to lose,
And I've taken pieces home,
I promise you I never meant too,
Well how can I complain?
When everybody seems to know my name,
You're out of luck and I'm of line,
It's such a selfish compromise,
A self indulgent useless bunch of lies,
I never thought you would believe.
Hold me now don't wake me up,
Pull me down and then back up,
All again for all too see
Low down whisper a guilty stare,
Your stagnant beauty makes me glare
Silly games in the sun,
In the sun, in the sun, in the sun, oh, in the sun.
Well how can I complain?
Your story never seems to stay the same
You're out of luck and I'm of line
It's such a selfish compromise,
A self indulgent useless bunch of lies
I never thought you would believe,
Loving you could be so easy,
Loving you could be so great,
Loving you would be so easy
Loving you could be so great.
Maybe change would keep me high,
Why did my homie have to die, with tears in my eyes
I came to say goodbye, say goodbye
Just passin through to let you know that I remember the times we shared
Your mother prayed for us both night and day
I guess this is what she feared
The picture in my room keeps your image sharply in my head
All in my head
I just can't let go of the memories I had; will this madness ever end?
Sometimes I wonder if it's better to be free or be in jail
Incarceration at this time to me is better than heaven or hell
I often wonder if you'd still be here if you had won your bet
Won your bet
You most likely soon see me we'll all be a memory
if we don't change this mess... change it or we gone y'all
Hi, passing you through to let you know
Passing you through to let you know
That I, gonna tell everyone I know
Gonna tell everyone I know
How we, used to send them to the floor
Used to send them to the floor
Have we, have we forgot to mourn
Ohh, how long, how long, how long will they mourn
It's 3 AM and I finally say
I'm sorry for acting that way
I didn't really mean to make you cry
Oh baby, sometimes I wonder why
Why does it always have to come down
To you leaving
Before I'll say 'I love you'
Why do I always use the words
That cut the deepest
When I know how much it hurts you
Oh baby why, do I do that to you
I know I'd never let you walk away
So why do I push you 'til you break
And why are you always on the verge of good-bye
Before I'll show you how I really feel inside
Why does it always have to come down
To you leaving
Before I'll say 'I love you'
Why do I always use the words
That cut the deepest
When I know how much it hurts you
Oh baby why, do I do that to you
Why do I always use the words that cut the deepest
When I know how much it hurts you
Oh baby why, do I do that to you
So, yo, why you trying to play me though?
Out like a sucker
So, yo, why you trying to play me though?
Out like a sucker
So, yo, why you trying to play me though?
Out like a sucker
So, yo, why you trying to play me though?
Out like a sucker
You're sneaking around like a sneaker baby, what's the beeper for?
Used to do my chores, now you're acting like a whore
Phones at my grip with you off to the store
For now you don't love me no more?
Hey, by the way who's Curt?
Left a message on my machine, said you didn't come to work
You AWOL from the job, plus who's Rob?
The way you're acting, I think you've been slobbing him
Sometimes I swear I think about robbing 'em
But my papa told me never to snuff no girls
You give 'em diamond, jewels, furs, pearls
Rings and shoes and cars and things
From time to time I wanna diss her
You couldn't play me if I cheated like Amy Fisher
And dismiss her from the courtroom in a Yugo
You know, something like Joe Buttafuco
Well, deep inside my heart, the pain still stings
When I think back and remember I was gonna swing her a ring
For her ring finger, yes, I used to bang her
Like, "inga, binga, bunga", but I'm out like Philip Summers
So, yo, why you trying to play me though?
Out like a sucker
So, yo, why you trying to play me though?
Out like a sucker
So, yo, why you trying to play me though?
Out like a sucker
So, yo, why you trying to play me though?
Out like a sucker
I reminisce back when I was swinging with Mish pretty young thing
She got a kick outta, my jeep and a meal at Burger King
And a shotta, [unverified] down with my maturity
Getting papers from Port Authority doing security
Uh, she just used to climb up in my whipper whip
Just to stress a nigga quick, young, she's on a ego trip
Quit being, ha, ha, I had to stop the pigeon
Step, find a dove who comprehends exactly how I'm living
So I met a girl around the way from the uptown
Set, we used to drown in sweat, uh
She was my dollar 'til I lost my 9 to 5
She started dissing, listen, pretend, then shitting on my pride
She tried to crush my pride, so cut off to the next
Uh, not for the sex, this one used to run through the projects
Gossiping with the next about the next
Loved to cover her neck, for stress gave her a cat as a pet
(Meow)
It's major in a which, when she wanted to flow
Flowing with this nosey hoochie when I was out doing my shows
Doing a demo, demo, dembo, dembo
Dembo you can't front, you used to bust a load on Prince Po
And fall fast asleep into the morn
Girlfriend started flipping, so, yo, Prince had to be gone
I'm just another brother trying to get around the Feds
And keep my mental state, no matter what it takes
So, yo, why you trying to play me though?
Out like a sucker
So, yo, why you trying to play me though?
Out like a sucker
So, yo, why you trying to play me though?
Out like a sucker
So, yo, why you trying to play me though?
Why is it hard to love
Why so easy to hate
Why is it simple to steal
And so hard to create
I don`t believe
That the stars descending
I don`t believe
That our hearts are changing
Pride and envy
Never ending
Why oh why
Why oh why
Why can`t we live in peace(and harmony)
Why do we spread the disease(of hate)
Why are we so well disguised
We can`t open our eyes(we`re so blind)
I don`t believe
That the stars descending
I don`t believe
That our hearts are changing
Pride and anguish
Never ending
Why oh why
Why oh why
I don`t believe
That the stars descending
I don`t believe
That our hearts are changing
I don`t believe
That the stars descending
I don`t believe
That our hearts are changing
Blindfolds and cigarettes
Black hoods and camcorders televise homicide
Soldiers in shallow graves
Martyrs and thought police waiting to take you away
Why don't you let it lay
Won't you walk away
Let it end today
Why don't you let it go
Land of democracy
Land of hypocrisy
Forced down our throats, the indescents of pleasure
While violence and war deemed appropriate measures
Land of morality
Hand of brutality
Kill on command over corporate profit
Don't let them send you away
Why don't you let it lay
Won't you walk away
Let it end today
Why don't you let it go
And we have such a long way to go
But we've taken the wrong way to go
There's one thing i want you to know
There is something they don't want to show
Why don't you let it lay
Won't you walk away
Let it end today
Why? Why does it have? Have to be...this way
When? When will I know? What I should...and why
I didn't
Why? Why. Does it keep coming back? Back
Straight in my face. Face.
Yet I can't see it. How? How. How could I be? Be
Be so dumb?? Dumb
Dumber than dumb. You dummy!
Where? Where am I now. Am I still here...and which
way am I going?
What? What did you say? I heard you laugh
What the hell is so funny?
Why? Why. Won't you show me your face? Face
Show me who you are. Are. God, I hate you!
You. You. You make me sick. Sick. So sick that I puke
Puke. Damn you disgust me!
Please. Please don't be crueler than I...already am
to me
Where? Where will I find? Find some peace...I'll even
take a sliver!
Why? Why. Why does it hurt? Hurt. Hurt so bad! Bad
Yet I just take it!
Why? Why. Why does it hurt? Hurt. Hurt so bad! Bad
Yet I still take it!
When. When it goes. I wonder where
And I get so jealous!
When. When will I learn? And if I do...what will it
teach me?
Why? Why. Why does it hurt? Hurt. Hurt so bad! Bad
Yet I still take it!
Why? All I'm asking is why? Why
All I'm asking is why? Why?
This ain't no animal magnetism!
Why? Why. Why does it hurt? Hurt. Hurt so bad! Bad
And I just take it!
Why? Why. All I'm asking is why? Why
All I'm asking is why? Why?
Don't tell me animal magnetism!
I'll never let you go, why 'cause I love you
I'll always love you so, why 'cause you love me
No broken hearts for us, 'cause we love each other
And with our faith and trust, there could be no other
Why 'cause I love you
Why 'cause you love me
And I think you're awfully sweet, why 'cause I love you
You say I'm your special treat, why 'cause you love me
We found the perfect love yes, a love that's yours and mine
I love you and you love me all the time
Yes, I love you
You love me
We found the perfect love

I love you and you love me
I love you and baby, you love me
We'll love each other, dear, forever
I love you
You love me, baby
Why 'cause I love you, yes I do
WHY?
DIDN’T WE JUST TRY
TO HOLD ON ONE MORE TIME
YOU MAYBE THINK THAT I DON’T CARE
BUT THE TEARS ARE FALING DOWN
I CAN HARDLY BREATHE IN THIS RAIN OF SORROW
REMEMBER WE WALKED THE BEACH AT NIGHT
THEN WE MADE LOVE IN THE MOONLIGHT
AND YOU LOOKED INTO MY EYES
WHY?
DIDN’T WE JUST TRY
TO HOLD ON ONE MORE TIME
WHY?
WAS IT ALL A LIE?
LET’S TRY IT ON ONE MORE TIME
LIFE GOES ON AND TIME GOES BY
BUT EVERY DAY I WONDER WHY
WAS IT MEANT TO BE THIS WAY
IS THIS HOW YOU WANT IT?
I MIGHT NOT BE THE PERFECT GUY
BUT BABY I’M WORTH ONE MORE TRY
DON’T LET ME WAIT ANOTHER DAY
WHY?
DIDN’T WE JUST TRY
TO HOLD ON ONE MORE TIME
WHY?
WAS IT ALL A LIE?
My name mean a lot to me, pain mean a lot to me
Fame means nothing, but the game means a lot to me
I slang caine on these blocks for weeks
Ever since Rocky III, and the death of Apollo Creed
I was a tiny little poppy seed
As grimey as I could be, as sheiesty as I could be
Niggaz who live nicely, who don't understand the life of me
Other niggaz don't like me, and wanna take my life from me
They don't understand that I love it, and I like the beef
The raw, the guns, the violence, it's all right with me
I be laying in the cut where the sniper be
Righteously, waiting for you to get out the driver's seat
I don't think like usual people
Who think like usual people, who don't think right
I think like Muslims, in movements of people, who move they people
And move on your people, power is stronger than voo doo and evil
I'm immune, I drunk the juice, took a root from the needle
Still trying to figure out, why I do, the crimes I do
With the minds IQ, of an Einstein too
Tell 'em, Cha-cha, and bon, bon goo, they think I'm crazy, well I do too
Leave me alone please, I'm in my two-three zone please
Nothing can stop me, you fuckers can't stop me
It's like my life keeps turning around
Every second I need a lighter, I keep burning it down
I smoke so much, I could nurture a pound
My thoughts are always foggy, they blurring right now listen
I see the game for what it's worth, pain, fame and work
Girls walk with they brain in their skirt
So while you're fucker, they thinking
Of ways to get even, or a way out the hood, they make up a reason
For the judge, for you take him and see him
Until you face a subpena, that'll change your demeanor
So be careful, where you skating through this game
Remember it's other niggaz playing, skating in your lane
Don't get clipped, or stripped skating in the rain
Cause niggaz will keep rolling, and skating on your brain
That's just the rules and regulations of the game
When you playing you, you playing, and you paying like you weigh in, so..
If not, those wolves aiming where you layin'
And waiting on you patient with that thing up in the basement
That's why I walk with that thing out, when I'm pasting
Cause I know these niggaz hate it, that their little sisters love it
And their girls really want it, plus I'm frontin
Twenty three big truckin, new Z, new bucket
The Age Of Consent (Somerville/Steinbachek/Bronski)
Contempt in your eyes
As I turn to kiss his lips
Broken I lie
All my feelings denied
Blood on your fist
Can you tell me why?
You in your false securities
Tear up my life
Condemning me
Name me an illness
Call me a sin
Never feel guilty
Never give in
Tell me why?
You and me together
Fighting for our love
Can you tell me why?
They won't let us do no shows in New York
They won't even let us fuckin talk
They say Lost Boyz be a gang
Nah man we just do our thing
Why we always in the cut sometime
Why we always sleep on bud sometime
Word I be askin myself that
While I turn my cat to the back
While I freestyle and rap
And watch them sharks that bite
Why god take me to Queens vile
Why them fuckin did what they did
I see B-Wild gettin down
Cocoa B, and J-Drama's in town
I rep-re-sent my crew
Spigg Nice, Freaky Tah and Pretty Lou
I represent South Jamaica what?
Me and my team we'll gettin ya gut
Stay trees with the fam all day
Write my name on the complex hallway
At my mans spot, where he be chillin at
Throw ya L's in the sky if you feelin that
My man got me in the bread right now
My mans got me in it write now
Why, why, why
Why, why, why
Why, why, why
Why, why, why

Why you forgot the Fudge crew?
Why you forgot Lincoln BLVD?
Why you forgot my niggas that's hard?
Why you forgot the playas the pimp?
Why you forgot my nine up dicks?
Why you forgot the whole world?
My little man, my girl
Why you think I jay walk?

And ACaf from the 134 crew

Why I love Buddha?
Aiyo why that broad I shoot her?
Because she had my money

Aiyo that boy, he tried to stink me?

'Cause I get a strike just the right touch
On this track I get spelming
Shorties don't wanna mess around me
Aiyo get and shake that doodoo brown man
Aiyo Tah, I like the way you sound man
You just represent your area
Aiyo I hope I aint scarin ya
Aiyo how we do? I dare eya
To get up in our fuckin area
This is how I do in New York
For 97 there's no time to talk
Niggas lickin school faces and all that
This is how we do, we gon play and ball black
On the courts we get down and
Niggas don't wanna mess around me
Haha, way to sound man
LB we creepin to your town
Every morning I wake up
I hear some voices in my head
They're telling me softly
Things I can never understand
I look in the mirror, I see myself
I am lonely, I am down
I need someone that helps me to get back on the ground
I'm losing my world when I close my eyes
But the only thing that remains is the dark pain of mine
Chorus:
Why can't you hear me?
Can't you hear me cry?
The world is frozen
Can't you tell me why?
Why can't you hear me?
Can't you hear me now?
We need some changes
There is no doubt
I'm looking out of my window
I see the birds fly away
I'm asking myself
Why they don't wanna stay
I'm looking up to the moon
The moon is so sad and grey
Still I don't know why it all has to be this way
I'm losing my world when I close my eyes
But the only thing that remains is the dark pain of mine
Chorus
I'm losing my world when I close my eyes
But the only thing that remains is the dark pain of mine
I'm so tired of living
Just for the, the fuck of it
Why, why, why, why, why, why?
I'm cold but I can't feel, help me
Oh, I'm walking but I got nowhere to go
Somebody help me
I'm looking for solutions
I'm so tired of living
Just for the, the fuck of it
Why, why, why, why, why, why?
What do you want from me
When you've taken all I had
What can I give to you
I can't even help myself
Here's what I'm gonna do
Take some time out just for me
And find serenity
I'm looking for solutions
I'm so tired of living
Just for the, the fuck of it
Why, why, why, why, why, why?
Searching for solutions
I'm so tired of living
Just for the, the fuck of it
Why, why, why, why, why, why?
Lately I think I'm close to the edge
(Gon' call the doctor)
I'm trying not to lose my head
(Gon' get my thing together)
Lately I think I'm close to the edge
(Gon' call my mother, oh)
I'm trying not to lose my head
I'm so tired of living
Just for the, the fuck of it
