Tell Me Why
Tell me why it gotta be like this
Tell me why it gotta be like this
Tell me why it gotta be like this
Cops killing me cuz I ain't rich
I don't like that shit
Tell me why it gotta be like this
Niggas hating
And they think they slick
I don't like that shit
Tell me why it gotta be like this
If you doing crime how you a snitch
I don't like that shit
Tell me why it gotta be like this
Tell me why it gotta be like this
I don't like that shit
I'm just sitting here watching
The news it's so confusing
Are we the ones getting abused
Or just abusing
The way they running up
On them views is so amusing
Everything you see on the TV
Is an illusion
It's not a game
But the way we playing it
Got me saying shit
Like yes sir officer
We're not doing shit
Even if you hiding nothing
Mean you hiding something
And the minute that you move
That's the minute that they cuff you
You can put ya hands up if you want They still in fear
Got me thinking that our color
Is a weapon every year
They say it's gone change
And they working on they policies
But the law we got
Only lead to inequalities
I know you heard me now
Cuz I'm screaming it
I'm black and I'm proud
And I mean that shit
You can tear me down
But I'm dreaming big
Perseverance in my genes
Like I'm seaming it
Mr. Militant killing it
Cuz I'm diligent
Even if adrenaline filling him
Not belittling
Put me in a crowd
And I'm standing out
Mot a middle man
I came from the bottom
I'm shining cuz I'm a hidden gem
Put me in a line up the others
They'll be remeber hims
Niggas doing crime and then telling Like they was singing hymns
You don't got a positive message
We don't believe in it.
I'm about a dollar
It's almost like I was preaching it
It's so obvious
How I'm so on top shit
Switching up the game
Cuz the world is so monotonous
Never been involved
With the crookedness of politics
But if we gone evolve
Then I gotta be a lobbyist
Tell me why it gotta be like this
Cops killing me cuz I ain't rich
I don't like that shit
Tell me why it gotta be like this
Niggas hating
And they think they slick
I don't like that shit
Tell me why it gotta be like this
If you doing crime how you a snitch
I don't like that shit
Tell me why it gotta be like this
Tell me why it gotta be like this
I don't like that shit
Tell me why it gotta be like this
Tell me why it gotta be like this
Cops killing me cuz I ain't rich
I don't like that shit
Tell me why it gotta be like this
Niggas hating
And they think they slick
I don't like that shit
Tell me why it gotta be like this
If you doing crime how you a snitch
I don't like that shit
Tell me why it gotta be like this
Tell me why it gotta be like this
I don't like that shit
I'm just sitting here watching
