Why?

Why? Why?

A red cap
A white hood
A Black man
It's dangerous
His hand
In my hand
The Homeland
Afraid of Love
LOVE
Never thought it'd go down like this
Never thought it'd go down like this, like this
Epithets from Presidents
as my brothers fall with no justice
Thought I might be free someday
Was Martin wrong?
Never thought I'd mourn this way
From Treyvon to Big Floyd and on...
Why?

Why do you hate me so much?
Why do you hate me so much?
The hater, the hated, the same
We all in this cycle of pain
If I wanna give you my love
Why do you hate me so much?

LOVE
If I love you...
LOVE
If I love you...
LOVE
(Tell me)
If I wanna give you my love
Why do you hate me so much?

I remember that talk
That my dad, gave to me
Gotta work twice as hard
Be twice as good
To get a half of it
Never thought it'd still be like this
Never thought I'd grow up so quick, so quick
Hands up cuz I still can't breathe
Another bullet, another siren,
but they can't break me

Why do you hate me so much?
Why do you hate me so much?
Am I just a victim of fate
Cause I was just born this way
If I wanna give you my love
(Hey, why do you hate me?)

LOVE
If I love you...
LOVE
If I love you...
LOVE
(Tell me)
If I wanna give you my love
Why do you hate me so much?
Why? Why?

49 Southerns
4-49 sons and daughters
Losing their pulse in a moment
Watching love turn to numbers
LOVE
LOVE
