Why?

(*singing*)

[Hook: Tanya Herron]

Why, do we live this way

So many murders, where the children play

And it's about, to make me lose my mind

We're running out of time, too many of my people dying

[Z-Ro]

Day by day it's more impossible, to hold on

I'm going head up with the shadow of death, and getting stole on

Will I survive, is God gonna come and save me

I started out as a Christian, now look at how this world made me

I'm crazy, and I can't make it no better

Cause I can't stand none of my friends, my only love is for the cheddar

I remember, sipping on Tangaray and getting high

Down with eachother, long as we was barely getting by

We grown men, and all living in sin

Shooting a kite to my people, cause he in prison again

Letting him know that the streets ain't changed, still wicked

Plus I been burying so many motherfuckers, we bound to kick it

Up close and personal, cause niggaz be pushing my button

I handle my bidness, and exit they homes gangsta strutting

One deep, nobody's got my back

Motherfuckers just be hanging around me, because I rap

Trying to stab me in my back, and if they could they would

That's why I pack my twin bitches, cause I don't even feel safe in the hood

At least on lock, you know what the danger is and what's not

Free world you'll be evicted, when a coward bust shots

That's the life cycle, kick it with real niggaz

And never let the shife by you, because the devil is they idol

Man they tied up my nigga, and sawed off his head

The cold part about it, they ain't even take no bread

[Hook]

[Z-Ro]

My nigga Grady took seven shots, and one bullet hit him twice

Although he's blessed, my nigga just can't leave the thug life

You know it's fucked up, both of us was in class with honors

But soon would drop out, addicted to cash and marijuana

And the fast life, we bled the whole hood last night

Hard headed dumb niggaz, just trying to get they cash right

Hustling, hoping we can get a million

But like a chameleon, nigga the game done changed

Wish it would rain sometime, to help a nigga wash away the pain sometime

I shed ghetto tears daily baby, I can't hide the fact

Feeling like everybody's out to get me, so I don't hide my strap

I ride like that, with one up in the chamber

On my block if you ain't got a glock, you's in danger

Continuously head busting for nothing, my friends and my enemies

Nothing but recollection, as I remember the memories

If I could be like Jesus, I'd spread the love

But I can recognize the demons, so I spread the slugs

These motherfuckers say they love me, but I'm peeping they lies

Feel like jealousy and envy, when I look deep in they eyes

That's a friend for you, laced up with your girl and then try to

Spend your ends for you, and when it's drama they won't send for you

That's the reason Joseph, is one deep until he die

I ain't gotta wonder why, my people wanna see me fly, fuck em

[Hook - 2x]
