Lyrics
Why, why do all my brothers die?
Tell me why, oh why do my friends pass away?
Why, why does it hurt so bad?
I cry all night, and I feel so sad
And I don't know why
I don't know why
Tell me why, why do my brothers die?
Tell me why, oh why do my friends pass away?
Why, why does it hurt so bad?
I cry all night, and I feel so sad
Baby, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
A matter of fact, I'm tired of the day playing hide and seek
Follow, follow me as long as you can see me
Many, many, many, many minds playing in your ear
Ask why, and I'll tell you what it's all about
Why do we sweat to live, and what do we die for?
Beginning from the seesaw until I get old on my knees, y'all
Let me do my thing, I've been kicked in the ding-ding
Why must I bleed to succeed? But I guess it's a test
Prove what you got, you don't stop 'til you drop, you can't flop
Put it without a doubt, on the spot, be aware
Not surprised when you fall down, don't ask why
So many questions to be answered
When you want another, the result might be cancer
Keeping it tight, the fuss about the rest
Let the Lord guide your life and there'll be no second guess
Why, why do my brothers die?
Tell me why, oh why do my friends pass away?
Why, why does it hurt so bad?
I cry all night, and I feel so sad
Baby, oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, baby
Tell me why, oh yeah
Tell me why
It's quiet in the church, all you hear is moans
Closed casket, protect to the flesh from the bone
You can see the pain in both parents' eyes
As the mother breaks down to her knees and asks why
Another dead homie, dead brother, dead son
And I'm trying hard not to be the next one
So I maintain, keep my head to the sky
Ask the Lord not to let another one of us die
I pray for better days, strive for better ways
Soldiers going out as they battle and blaze
Bullets up the block, a five-year-old shot
Shit is getting hectic, Lord, make it stop
Oh Lord, come help me please, get it out my mind
I'm so tired of seeing all my brothers die
Oh Lord, come help me please, put my mind at ease
So you can let us all live in peace
Baby, sha-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Why, why?
Why, why?
Why, why?
You got a problem, I think you're very curious
'Bout my biz, you wanna solve 'em
Sit down, relax, and let me take you
To a level that you never been before
When I tell you that I'll skull motherfuckers, are you tripping?
You want some more, ain't nobody who can hold me back
I'm coming with the anti-force of the universe to attack
Jack, I know you shaking
Meet me at eight tomorrow morning by the buffet with eggs and bacon
Ask yourself why does a brother look so fresh?
I think he's straight from my chest, nada abroca
Middle name honest, guided by a whole nation of peeps
Angels by my side, yes, praise the Lord
You better be ready and believe
As time flies by, we multiply to reach a level high
But wind up before some girls, you really ain't cool with the hustle
All my brothers, all my sisters dying in the street, hey
And I don't know why (Why, why)
I don't know why (Why, why)
Tell me why (Why, why), hey, why (Why, why)
No more dying, no more killing
No more dying, no more killing (Why, why)
No, no, no (Why, why)
Oh Lord, tell me why (Why, why)
Oh Lord, tell me why (Why, why)
Oh, tell me why
