Why Oh Why

I don't stroke egos
Yeah I still get bored
But who I'm really working for
Told me there's more in store

So I don't stroke egos
Occasional drink I'll pour
A few walked out the door on me
Now they mad they on the floor

Don't knock you if you do
'Specially if it's bout more than being cool
Personally inside
Ego stroking helps me hide

Used to feel like I couldn't be me
Big ball of Gods love and his Mercy
Natural high always bring the energy
Used to need to hit the blunt cuz all eyes on me
But then I thought

Why oh Why must I, adhere to these rules?
Why oh Why must I, pass it to you?
Why oh Why must I, hold it in then breathe?
Why oh Why must I, give my all and compromise me?

So I don't stroke egos
Yeah I still get bored
But who I'm really working for
Told me there's more in store

So I don't stroke egos
Occasional drink I'll pour
A few walked out the door on me
Now they mad they on the floor

So much goes on in this industry
Not just music it's art generally
We pour so much
With no guaranteed return
And if we lose
They tell us it don't really hurt

But I refuse to give it control
God made me real and I'm not no clone
I'm real clear bout where my help comes from
I just wanna be a vessel for your love
So again I thought

Why oh Why must I, adhere to these rules?
Why oh Why must I, pass it to you?
Why oh Why must I, hold it in then breathe?
God is always nigh, and that will always bring me peace

So I don't stroke egos (I don't stroke egos)
Yeah I still get bored (Yeah I still get bored)
But who I'm really working for (But who I'm really working for)
Told me there's more in store (Yeah theres more more)

So I don't stroke egos (I don't stroke egos)
Occasional drink I'll pour (Occasional drink I'll pour)
A few walked out the door on me (Walked out)
Now they mad they on the floor

And not backstage (And not backstage)
And not happy (You ain't happy)
And not with me (You ain't with me)
And not gettin paid (Ain't makin no money)
