Why

Verse one

Why is it more that things change the more they stay the same

why do old people drive slow in the fast lane

why is it when I grab the mic you stare at me strange

why's every time I eat I get my shirt stained (dang!)

wassup Tremaine what your name's Wayne

dang man why can't I just remember people's names

all that the same there's a question in my mind

why do I have to wait in line just to wait in another line

and when I think I'm done I gots to do it one more time

why oh why am I always stuck behind

the lady who has writes a check in the express check out line

excuse me miss it's 10 items not 99

why do most rappers they just spit the same rhymes

why do girls go to the bathroom at the same time

why when something's wrong I just say I'm fine

but why ask why when I ask it all the time

Chorus:

Why's the grass green why's the sky blue

Why oh why do I do what I do

can you please tell me why that is cause I don't have a clue

now why is that? I was about to ask you

why am I me and why are you you?

why do we run in circles chasing after nothing new

somebody won't you please tell me why because I haven't got a

clue

yo why is it my man? I was about to ask you

Verse 2 (Manchild) :

Why do the voices in my head get louder when I try to sleep

why can't I seem to count all the leaping sheep

I'm knee deep in distribution retail paperwork and email

why can't I afford a secretary to handle office detail

why are prices high water wet people cruel

why does every single record exec try to play me for the fool

why don't bar stools have backs do they want the drunks to fall

off

and why do we have to fill up all the precious silence with

small talk

why do all walk with our heads down and walkman's up to ten

are we afraid to let a stranger in every now and then

why do sucker emcees spit loud and claim to be the hardest

and then sit down to write their rhymes with a dictionary plus a

thesaurus

why does the commerce strangle art instead of the other way

around

I guess it's hard to work the angles when the cipher's always

round

why do we drown our sorrow reach both hands out for tomorrow

when just living today is hard enough to swallow why?

Chorus:

Verse 2 (Manchild) :

Why do conceptual song structures cramp my style and hand alike

why do organized emcee battles make wack rappers grab the mic

why am I here, cause the instructional manual wasn't clear

why does my transmission make that sound when I try to shift

it's gears

why is my stereo so loud do I want all neighbors to hear

am I my own street team member try to catapult my career

why does a dog bark bee sting bird sing

but first things first why do you burn my album with left hands

on your

purse string

(KJ 52) :

Why do we disrespect each other instead of loving one another

why do we have to focus on the skin tone and color

why can't we see that we sisters and we brothers

and understand we all equal to God and plus he loves us

bust this Ima say this just again and again

Why oh why cant we all be friends

but there's one thing I just can't comprehend

why do they put Braille at a drive up ATM's

I guess that's for all the car driving blind men

why do we just hate God but really love to sin

really man shouldn't that be just the other way around

Why do I always have to laugh when somebody falls down

why do things get worse when they're already going wrong

why's customer service put me on hold for so long

why do you tell me to hold on when I'm already holding on

Why can't we all just all get along?

Chorus:

Verse 3:

Why does fast food take so long to get it

why do people fart in public and say someone else did it

why do you ask my opinion but get mad when I give it

and why ask for wisdom if you ignore the Holy Spirit

now check the lyrics cause this might apply to you

dude why's brushing your teeth just like so hard for you

now if your breath stank don't be saying "hi how are you"

if I give you a breath mint don't be like "no thank you"

get a clue now tell me why your clothes is fake too

why do you say it's FUBU when ya know it's PUBU

and why do you say yes when you really mean no

why do you tell me stop when you really mean go

why's the bad choice the one choice I always chose

but in spite of how I acted why did God love me so

much that he would just pay the price of my soul

but I don't need to ask why I already know
