[Syke talking]

Damn, the world's so crazy out here,

Never know what's going on,

Never know why things happen,

But they do,

Well just take it

Verse 1:

As my inner thoughts of reality set in, another day begins,

Cause you never know you were alseep until ya wake up

Will me and my ex-girl make up?,

I don't know but life's a question,

After death is there a resurrection?

Cause the chaos and the mayhem got me crazy,

When will I have my first baby?,

But is there love there?, do I really care?,

I swear, life ain't fair

So much pain and sorrow

Will I see tomorrow

Make a path for my kids to follow,

So it's me against the world,

Can't nobody talke to me

I need psychotherapy,

Forever I cry inside,

I can't hide,

Just tell me why

Chorus:

Why do we do the things that we do? (Just tell me why)

Why do we do the things that we do? (Tell me why)

Why do we do the things that we do? (Tell me why)

Why do we do the things that we do?

Verse 2:

A little kid's refelection is a shadow of death

Just behind him are his first steps

But nobody cares it's just everybody for theyself

So pray to Yahweh if you need help

Cause love don't love nobody alone

Can I stay strong? can I move on?

But I gotta get used to my past being my future road

Seldom travelled but never told,

The world is crazy my mind is paralyzed,

And hypnotized by these walk-bys

Families cry from dead souls lost

I guess our future pays the cost, I wanna floss,

But we drownin' in poverty,

My homie said he was gonna get wid me but ain't got wid me

It's so hard on a G tryna elevate in the game

And there's no way to escape the pain

Tell me why

Chorus

Verse 3:

So many trials and tribulations,

We livin' in desperation

Everyone's givin' up there's no motivation,

Organization or self determination

The youth is fallin' and callin' the OGs

Hand up some kis or get degrees, Lord please

I can't take it the world is comin' to an end,

So God forgive me for my sin

Cause I ain't never had a thang, will it change?

So I can rearrange,

The game ah life is the hardest game yet

Cause nobody knows what's coming up next

No respect, for our elders cause they fightin' us scared

Whta happened to the love we once shared, noone cares

So I soak my pains in Remy Martin and gettin' high

I know that's not the answer,

So I ask why?

Chorus

[Kid #1]: Syke why everybody die?

[Kid #2]: Why the world so crazy?,

[Kid #3]: Why everybody go to jail?

[Kid #4]: Why little kids get kidnapped?

Chorus ('til fade)
