The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

NOW, Why you gotta cramp my style?

You keep fuckin' with my high

And I'm about to get wild

NOW, Why you gotta harass the pot leaders?

Harass the people that expire parking meters

Why you gotta pull me over?

As if I was that dude in the stolen Rover

NOW, Why you gotta badge on your chest?

A gun on your hip, and that bullet proof vest?

NOW, Why you gotta act like you save the people?

You front that you care, just so we can feel equal

NOW, Why you gotta read me my right?

Would you read em' to your wife? Fuck no, Jesus Christ.

NOW, Why you gotta handcuff me tight?

In the middle of the night.. Treat me like a murder type.

NOW, Why you gotta? Gotta, gotta nothing..

Gotta get out my face bitch, I know you like donkeys.

Tell me why.. you wanna fuck with me

Just because... I'm a Kottonmouth King

I got no time for negativity

So tell me why... It's always you against me

To the men, women and children

That are catchin' the feeling of what I'm dealin'

What is felt is delt, Helpin' to melt the laws

That bother like liquifying lava

We quickly makin' it hotter,

Listen up and try to follow

NOW, Why you gotta pull me over in my van?

Give a ticket for a gram, end up costin' 'bout a grand damn.

And why you gotta slow the fuck out of your roll?

I know I'm not speedin' I'm in cruise control.

So now you gotta find another reason why

You can start flashing your lights

Start to violate my rights.

I Know your out there, let me say your not alone

Pigs bustin' in your home, guns drawn to your dome

Why do you gotta have a chip on your shoulder?

Past all field tests, I said I was sober.

I thought I told ya, don't try to pull this on me

I know the difference between procedure and police brutality

So, tell me why do you insult me and claim stupidity?

You think your smarter cause your GED

I get high and fly, I don't drink and drive

And your fuckin with my flight, so I gotta ask why?

Tell me why... You wanna fuck with me

Just because... I'm a Kottonmouth King

I got no time for negativity...

So tell me why.... it's always you against me

NOW, everytime I turn the corner

A cop is all up in my business

Always tryin' to plant shit

Let me get a witness

It's gettin' serious and funny to me.

Another day, another bitch is takin' money for me

NOW, they tried to pull us over cuz we bangin' the bus

The Fist, Johnny Richter, myself, and the Judge

Who can you trust when the world' corrupt?

Not that crooked ass cop that put my hands in the cuffs

NOW, why you always stressin' out me people?

You say protect and serve, yet you never treat us equal

All around the nation people are striving to be equal

Another uprising, they don't wanna see us equal

So, why you think you don't need no invitation to bust into my

house?

It's a fucked up situation.

Tearin' up my pad searching for the cultivation

Justifying your acts through your racist legislation

Don't think that I can't remember ever slippin' in some shit

Winding up behind some bars,

with purple rings around my wrists

Havin' to wait ten hours,

just to take a fucking piss

When your name is just a number,

as a person you don't exist.

When you realize that no one really gives a fuck

When you finally realize, is when you start to get back up

Too many people I know, for bullshit they got locked up

Too many times I asked why, so now I gotta say what?
