Because

[Chorus: Dylan Cartlidge]

Because it's hard to find your love, I found it out

Because you better not stay, you better not stay

Because it's hard to find your love, I found it out

Because this love is so non-desirable, oh

[Verse 1: Black Thought]

I'm from where too many lives twenty-five years or fewer

Nothing we receive is brand new, it's just newer

While brothers drop down to their knees and make du'a

Popsicle sticks race down the curb into the sewer

The next American hangman sketched in crayon

Gangland all a façade that you can spray on

Killin' birds with one stone is what we stay on

Wingspan never too wide for you to prey on

The ways never cease to amaze or inspire

Illiterate, the signatures been forged in fire

Broken spirit, some assembly required

It confirmed the door of no return at Elmina

Screamin' into the ocean for emotional support

We never won awards, we was wards of the court

Puttin' swords to umbilical cords to cut 'em short

Translation: vacation is at a last resort
