Why (Explicit)

Why - Fashawn/Exile

And I ask myself why why

I can't understand why

Sometimes a ni**a wake up nah mean

Wonder why he do the sh*t he do

Nah mean it's life

We make the most out of it though

Aids took so many brothers yet we still going raw under covers

It's 2009 gotta think smarter stop being baby daddies and be fathers

I can't understand why

Some dudes vacate to the Hamptons knowing they seeds need pampers

Wanna be a part of they life instead they tricking different women

No room for a wife or a family I can't understand why

God got a million names and if we made in his image

Does he see it the same

And if we flesh of his flesh can he feel my pain

Teardrops symbolizing the rain

I just can't understand why

I get high to forget about the present

Why I'm not riding in the S6

But life is all about decisions

Make the most outta mine while I'm living

I ask myself why

I do what I do live how I live

It is what it is but

I told my momma I'd change but it's clear I'll always be the same

I ask myself why

I do what I do live how I live

It is what it is but

I told my momma I'd change but it's clear I'll always be the same

I ask myself why

I swear life is a maze

I'm just tryin' to get it right before I fade

But I keep hitting walls everyday is like a battle

Learn somethin' different every time a ni**a travel

Still why they hatin' when I get home

Sayin' my name just so they can get known not in the same lane

It's ironic how I became a product of fame

20 years old out on my own

I can't understand why

I made those decisions I made friendships decayed

B**ches I laid and never called back

People I robbed spots where I hung rocks that I slung

Niggas I socked and made fall back

I can't understand why

Do good brothers turn bad

Whippin 7 and a half outta 6 that's how we learn

Math

Kinda sick how we earn cash

Not in a right mind so I petal along the wrong path can't understand why

I do what I do live how I live

It is what it is but

I told my momma I'd change but it's clear I'll always be the same

I ask myself why

I do what I do live how I live

It is what it is but

I told my momma I'd change but it's clear I'll always be the same

I ask myself why

Everybody caught up in politics

Democrats republicans when will the drama end

Mathematic how the government dividin' us

Yet my mind shine bright as the metropolis why

I feel the need to shine a light on the populace

So I write like a columnist dictate like a communist

Through it all I continue to stand tall as the monuments

I can't understand why

Heaven to hell so I'm ponderin'

Which afterlife I'm a wind up in

Took too many losses so I gotta win

Fatherless soakin' up knowledge from my momma's friends why

They all sold drugs and love to puff w**d

And angel dust couldn't teach me how to succeed

So I bailed out in the lab beats sittin' in the jailhouse can't understand

Still I ask myself why

I do what I do live how I live

It is what it is but

I told my momma I'd change but it's clear I'll always be the same

I ask myself why

I do what I do live how I live

It is what it is but

I told my momma I'd change but it's clear I'll always be the same

I ask myself why

And I ask myself why why

I can't understand why

And I ask myself why why

I can't understand why
