Lyrics

Why

[Chorus: Dustin Hill & Blu]

She keep asking me why

Why you gotta act like that

Know I love you that’s true

You ain’t gotta be rude

2x

[Verse 1: Rowlan]

Why you act the way you acting on the daily

Why you run it run your mouth until I’m crazy

Why talking like our love ain't enough

Why you acting like my ex is trying to fuck

She said it's coffee and it's just so we can speak

You always telling me that I’m just overly naive

I know you dont get it, but its more than just an ex

It’s more than just our past, and its more than just some sex

It's complicated, I get that you don't get it

But if you knew where I was at you wouldn't sweat it

The things we can,t control are usually strongest

We been going for a while, but that was the longest

You have me now, so that past shouldn’t hurt

You gotta trust me, if you want this to work

I’m being honest I don’t want to tell lies

But your attitude is present, so I need to know

[Chorus: Dustin Hill & Blu]

She keep asking me why

Why you gotta act like that

Know I love you that’s true

You ain’t gotta be rude

4x

[Verse 2: Rowlan]

Show me what you talking bout

Tell me what you need to do

Why you need to link with her

Fuck what she been going through

Moving on is moving on and ain't no half in shit

She just gets emotional and probably try to spin shit

You know she in love with you, you got to see intentions

I met her twice and tried to like two different first impressions

Stop with all this past shit

I’m better than your last chick

Remember how she did you wrong

You never did get past it

I’m sorry if it's coming off like I care

But I care for you and when it's bad no ones there

Besides me and these emotions

And this heart and this brain

My ex man did me wrong

And since then ain't the same

But I don't link with him or talk to him

And fuck how he feel

When I signed up for us

Well that's when I broke the deal

It's you and I, and me and you

And ain't no reason lie

So you should go ahead and tell me

I just need to know why

[Chorus: Dustin Hill & Blu]

She keep asking me why

Why you gotta act like that

Know I love you that’s true

You ain’t gotta be rude

4x
