Why??? by Prozak

Lyrics

Prozak

Why???

From Tales from the Sick2008

Written by Prozak, Tech N9ne, Twista

Lyrics

Why???

[Intro: Twista]

Yeah

And the question is why

Prozak, Saginaw what up

Tech N9ne, Kansas City what up

Twista, Chi-Town what up

And we do it like this

[Verse 1: Prozak]

How can somebody explain to me

Why we been followed by evil for so many centuries

Locked in prison the world is a penitentiary

Such a catastrophe and it follows our destiny

But crackhead mothers and fathers are beating their children

Suicide bombers are crashing our planes into buildings

While HIV is spreadin' and killin' off millions

And down in New Orleans there's several abandoned civilians

They're spillin' the blood of other people for barrels of oil

The bodies are burning and scattered all over the soil

Feeling the tension as tempers and temperatures boil

Strikin' the soul is a serpent that rattles and coils

God, tell me what has now became of us

Shame on us for becoming a race so dangerous

And even with hate in us, you never did stray from us

Instead of forsaking us, you have forgaven us, why?

[Chorus]

Why? Why does the devil be callin' my name?

Why? Testin' my faith with his devilish games

Why? Feeling insane as I was in the brain

Why oh Why? Followed by darkness you fear them, then blow

Why? Circle above me you see the black crows

Why? Father forgive me you Reap what you sow

Why oh Why?

[Verse 2: Tech N9ne]

Do we get off on the fact that our governments fuckin' Iraq from the back

And we know that this hate is from us and not from Allah?

Why do we gamble with givers of grief?

And I'm wondering why do we live in the dark and my life's not fa la la la la la

Momma be askin' me (Why?), do you believe in this?

Bitches be askin' me (Why?), don't you wanna peep in this?

Niggas be askin' me (Why?), do you put pussy on a pedestal?

Pimpin' you prolly should put money first 'cause you weak in this

Why is this shit draggin'?

Why does everybody know to operate a fully automatic

And nobody with the lovin' that the one above is givin' us a little bit of light up in the hell of it?

Everybody livin' in polygamy you givin' me but ain't nobody celibate

So the question we askin' is why?

Are we the wickedness? When is the trip for the sickness to fly?

Look at the blood and the tears and the piss and the shit in yo' eye

God will be back any day any second so wait for the day that he spray and we die

[Chorus]

Why? Why does the devil be callin' my name?

Why? Testin' my faith with his devilish games

Why? Feeling insane as I was in the brain

Why oh Why? Followed by darkness you fear them, then blow

Why? Circle above me you see the black crows

Why? Father forgive me you Reap what you sow

Why oh Why?

[Verse 3: Twista]

Could you tell me why would he ever show mercy these days

Why? Just look at the world we be cursin' the earth with these plagues

Why? Sometimes I feel evil as if it's the birth of the worst and the Earth needs emergency surgery all of this hurt can be raised

How? Turn us into demons that's that's screamin' I'm dreamin' that even the devil was special before he had fallen from grace

Why do we murder? But God Won't abandon his women and children even though his baby's will bust a 380 all in your face

Why do we kill? Gotta hit him in the body with a bullet, will you pull it?

But he never look above us, see he'll love us even if he didn't feel us to the fullest

Please tell me why? Can you love us even though we gotta hurt each other, even our brother or the mother I don't feel it, you the realest, you can put it any way you wanna put it

Why? Even through the terror on the planet you can still find love

Why? Even through the torture and the murder you can still find love

But if you try to be a rebel on a level of the devil we get buried with the shovel and be cast outta heaven so in hell we can still wind up

[Chorus]

Why? Why does the devil be callin' my name?

Why? Testin' my faith with his devilish games

Why? Feeling insane as I was in the brain

Why oh Why? Followed by darkness you fear them, then blow

Why? Circle above me you see the black crows

Why? Father forgive me you Reap what you sow

Why oh Why?

[Outro]

Why? Why? Why?

Why-y-y-y oh-h-h-h why?

Why? Why? Why?

Why-y-y-y-y oh-h-h-h Why?
