Why Lyrics

Why do people of color struggle across all cultures

I came into this game and met these vultures

Aye don't cha know game can't be bought only taught

Ain't it a shame

the way they was brought up

Feel like I'm overdosing or I might come close ta

Looked into her eyes and I transformed into a sculpture

Yeah I drive a fat Lac, but it don't mean much

Cuz Every time I just don't give a fuck I split that Dutch

Why do they try and do it like you do Ms. Badu

They emulate oh believe they try to but

They never come close we The Most High

They stir fry food, food For thought our government feed us lies too

Got that muddy water in my cup its epidemic

We turn on our brothers so now they've turned us into weapons

Hold us captive in cells, and call that shit detention

Feed us chemicals and not to mention

Monopolies slit our throats and they steal our pension

If you colored they probably give you a heavier sentence

And the police will call that bullshit Christmas coming early

I smoke allot weed till I see life clearly never blurry

Keep in mind

They don't wanna see you in a Mercedes Benz

They rather see you in the pen doing five to ten

Fuck school I'm tryin-a find a lick

They said people like you and I wasn't meant for colleges

Too worried about where my momma is

Too concerned about everything else honestly

I was hungry for food but not food for though

Took an apple but I was caught

And now I'm marked

For slaughter, they say it's the water that sterilize your sons and daughters

Why is life so bleak must it always be this way

They all say it gets better day by day by day by day

But on most days I just wish to drift away

I shoot fade-away and let my hair hang for days

I smoke I blaze, you shouldn't listen to me

Please forget all the words that I say
