Why We Here

[Intro]

GOOD out now

It's on Spinrilla, LiveMixtapes

Whatever the fuck you got

[Bridge]

Aye, from the joy to the pain

From the shine to the rain

From the top of your soul

To the...

[Verse 1]

I'm livin' life like I'm comin' back with a mulligan

Double stuffed, stuffin' my cup with enough to kill tigers and bears like Jazmine Sullivan

Take a walk in the jungle where we comin' in

Where half the niggas can't pronounce the name of that designer that they covered in

Mirror, mirror, mirror, tell me why you so speechless

I wanna know why we exhibit the most childish of features

You know our thoughts can be the livest of speakers

If ribs a cage, it's cause our hearts can swim and fly amongst the wildest of creatures

I digress

Sometimes alone I sit and stare at the ceiling

And ask you all the questions that swim around my head when I'm chillin'

I ain't trippin'

I know that you won't clip my wings when I fly

'Cause you ain't put me here to pay bills and die

So fuck they thoughts and opinions

I had a vision of the life we deservin'

Gotta live my life with a dream so I can die with a purpose

We all the same, from the wino to the head of the service

But them hospitals walls done heard way more prayers than them churches

[Chorus]

I guess that's why we here (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

I guess that's why we here (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

I guess that's why we here (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

I guess that's why we here (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

From the joy to the pain

From the shine to the rain

From the top of your soul

To the back of your brain

I guess that's why we here (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

I guess that's why we here (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

[Verse 2]

See, vicious society brings out a different side of me

Honestly there's a dragon trapped underneath all this modesty

Mazel Tov to my niggas in poverty

Take a ride with me through the slaloms of which has been glorified by society

Hustle today in the hopes of a better tomorrows

And let my ambitions reflect them sales like [?]

Paying up tuition, still tryna jump out this pothole

But it's never ending, I'm scared that you'll never get it

Listen, my mind is on to some shit that I shouldn't speak on

Been dealin' with some things with the visions of a king

And the privilege of wings, man the feeling that it brings

Every time I drop a track, swear the angels be yellin' "preach on"

I got the soul of a hustler, come and fuck with us

You can visit my world, see the place that corrupted us

I swear it's crazy 'cause one day I'm Dr. King

The next night I hit the club with the bitches from my dreams

[Chorus]

I guess that's why we here (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

I guess that's why we here (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

I guess that's why we here (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

I guess that's why we here (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

From the joy to the pain

From the shine to the rain

From the top of your soul

To the back of your brain

I guess that's why we here (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

I guess that's why we here (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

[Verse 3]

Aye, aye fuck it, I'm just sittin' here reminiscin'

But fuck it, prolly trippin' on all this shit I been missin'

My lil cousins got older, them niggas probably whippin'

Would tell 'em about the world but they really too young to listen

Know how we was as kids, so expect it from all the children

The lives we leadin' are puzzlin', expect them to want to fit in

Niggas makin' a name and I really hope that they get it

While women actin' like girls and these girls are actin' like women

The friends you had on that stage at ya graduation went missin'

Even though they said they'd call you and make it work through the distance

But shit you promised the same, so nigga, you ain't no different

Now everybody's distant

And I hate that that's how it works

We never thought it would happen

You busy with all this school shit

I'm busy with all this rap shit

These niggas, they ain't my niggas

The city tryna trap me

It gotta be more to life

I can't help but sit and imagine why we here

[Chorus]

I guess that's why we here (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

I guess that's why we here (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

I guess that's why we here (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

I guess that's why we here (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

From the joy to the pain

From the shine to the rain

From the top of your soul

To the back of your brain

I guess that's why we here (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)

I guess that's why we here (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh)
