WHY?? [6 x's] <br /> <br />Sky's the limit so you know I'm gonna rise and shine <br />I gotta do my thing, I'm kinda getting a little tired of all that's hidden <br />That's the reason I'm a speak my mind, keep from going insane <br />Now work with it, we in the last innin' <br />The world keeps spinnin', my peoples steady losin' while the rich keep winnin' <br />It's like we neva smilin' and the devil steady grinnin' <br />killin' what we representin' <br />Even our children and women, 2K4, livin' above and under the law <br />Young teen joins the marines, says he'll die for the core <br />Inducted up into the goverment's war as if the land of money and oil <br />Funny how ain't none of it yours <br />I can't sleep yo I'm paranoid, it's code orange <br />It's far from right, I guess that's why it feels so wrong <br />To see the world get stripped out of every resource <br />And people pray to Coca-Cola now instead of the gods <br />What's goin' on? <br /> <br />WHY?? [6 x's] <br /> <br />Keepin' your head above water, hustlin' to survive <br />Some people chasin' a dream, others just chasin' a high <br />Some people blind leading the blind, they chasin' a lie <br />Some people chokin' backs broken barely makin' it by <br />But still they workin' all they live, they pushin' for the light <br />Givin' everything they got to stitch them swishes on ya Nike's <br />Puttin' pockets on our jeans, mining diamonds for them rings <br />Rewarded with small change and bullets in the brains <br />And it makes me feel strange everything we take for granted <br />At times I feel stranded on this planet of mine <br />Now should I pull the hammer, clap it out, and laugh about it <br />Or stand up, be counted while I cast my ballot <br />When the undertaker's busy and the prison's is crowded <br />People livin' in fear because they vision is clouded <br />But the sky's the limit, I ain't cryin' you a river <br />Gotta move me a mountain, I'm a git up and shout it <br /> <br />WHY?? [6 x's] <br /> <br />When I dream it's hounds on my heels gainin' momentum <br />I'm tired, can't get uninspired or quit runnin' <br />I can feel they only inches behind, I escape, I survive <br />Some how I gotta decide how much I want it <br />Or is anybody listenin' without a pot to piss in <br />If I disappear I wonder if the world will know I'm missin' <br />Who my support system, it's not the court system <br />Gotta letter it said that you're not avoiding prison <br />People 'neath the microscope 'cause we defining the culture <br />They smile and insult you like you shinin' their loafers <br />Them old heads say we need a modern day Moses <br />When the leaders is posers we needing some soldiers <br />It's the X generation, The anger is a nature <br />Got the writing on the wall so clear that I can taste it <br />Like a kid sniffing glue somewhere trying to escape <br />Cause we vulnerable and naked <br />Gotta show 'em we can make it <br /> <br />WHY??
