Why Not

Why not
Try to find a new route

Why not
Try to be the guru

Why not
Sauce it up like Ragu

Everybody can't dance
But we all gotta groove

Ooh-woo

Why not
Just try something new

Why not
Do what feels good to you

Why not
Forget if they approve
If intentions are true
You'll find the real inside you

Why not

Why not worry about what it is that you got?
Why not try every shade inside of that color palette?

Black girl (Black girl)
That girl (That girl)
My girl (My girl)
My world (My world)

Why not shop talented entrepreneurs that's up the block?
Why not park yo piece of crap car in the front of the lot?
Had a four door '01 Ford F150. Whipped it like Volvo
But in the backseat, my girl screaming
I was making that soul glow

Why not use protection? We so close
I was like, "I'on know..."
Why not sink that bad relationship and go solo?

Why not think for a while?
Why not make your own style?

Why recreate that TikTok?
It's time to show 'em what you got

Why not

Why not
Just try something new

Why not
Do what feels good to you

Why not
Forget if they approve
If intentions are true
You'll find the real inside you

Why not

Why not try one more time?
Why not do everything in your heart
And on your mind?

They ask me why I say that I be greatest
I turn around asking them, "Why not?"

I wish everybody could feel what I'm feeling
But they may not have what I got

Or they ain't been where I been
Or they never seen what I seen

And so many missed it when I spit it cryptic
So let me reveal what I mean

And I mean
You already know
God inside. You should try let it grow
Pain inside. You should try letting go

Well, otherwise
It's going nowhere

Can't see why we even go there
Why not just try a new way?

Why would we plan to do something tomorrow
With 24 hours to do it today?

So, why not?

Why not go ahead and try something new?
Go ahead and do what you do
Why not go ahead and try something new?
Go ahead and do what you do

Why not be innovative
Instead of remakes and part 2s?
Why not make a new hero
Include your people yourself?

Why not when you get a check,
Don't contribute to they checks?
Why not with your own kids
Show what Black culture really is?

Why not go and stomp on they necks
And demand that they give respect?
Don't care if they expecting that
Don't give 'em no power to neglect

It's sad to know that more gone go
Before a real change starts to show
So why not give it all you got
To quicker put it to a stop?

Before my death, gon' feel my wrath
A change gone come and that's no cap
Whether I'm rich or in the trap
Keep screaming 'til I'm out of breath
