Why

And I ask myself "why?"
 I can't understand why?
 Sometimes a nigga wake up nah mean?
 Wonder why he do the shit he do
 Nah mean, it's life
 We make the most out of it though
 AIDS took so many brothers, yet we still going raw under covers
 It's 2009, gotta think smarter
 Stop being baby daddies and be fathers
 I can't understand (why)
 Some dudes vacated to the Hamptons
 Knowing they seeds need Pampers
 Wanna be a part of they life, instead they tricking different women
 No room for a wife or a family (I can't understand why)
 God got a million names
 If we made it his image
 Does he see it the same
 If we flesh of his flesh does he feel our pain?
 Teardrops symbolizing the rain
 I just can't understand (why)
 I get high to forget about the present
 Why I'm not riding in the S6
 But life is all about decisions
 Make the most outta mine while I'm living, I ask myself
 I do what I do, live how I live
 It is what it is but
 I told my momma I'd change but it's clear I'll always be the same
 I ask myself (why)
 I do what I do, live how I live
 It is what it is but
 I told my momma I'd change but it's clear I'll always be the same
 I ask myself
 I swear life is a maze, I'm just tryin' to get it right before I fade
 But I keep hitting walls
 Everyday is like a battle
 Learn somethin' different every time a nigga travel
 Still (Why) They hatin' when I get home
 Sayin' my name just so they can get known
 Not in the same lane
 It's ironic how I became a product of fame
 20 years old out on my own
 (I can't understand why?)
 I made those decisions I made, friendships decayed
 Bitches I laid and never called back
 People I robbed, spots where I hung
 Rocks that I slung
 Niggas I socked and made fall back
 (I can't understand why)
 Do good brothers turn bad?
 Whippin 7 and a half outta 6 that's how we learn math
 Kinda sick how we earn cash
 Not in a right mind so I pedal along the wrong path (can't understand why)
 I do what I do, live how I live
 It is what it is but
 I told my momma I'd change but it's clear I'll always be the same
 I ask myself (why)
 I do what I do, live how I live
 It is what it is but
 I told my momma I'd change but it's clear I'll always be the same
 I ask myself
 Everybody caught up in politics
 Democrats, Republicans. When will the drama end?
 Mathematic how the government dividin' us
 Yet my mind shine bright as the Metropolis (why)
 I feel the need to shine a light on the populace
 So I write like a columnist
 Dictate like a communist
 Through it all I continue to stand tall as the monuments
 (I can't understand why)
 Heaven to Hell so I'm ponderin'
 Which afterlife I'm a wind up in
 Took too many losses so I gotta win
 Fatherless, soakin' up knowledge from my momma's friends (why)
 They all sold drugs and love to puff weed
 An' angel dust
 Couldn't teach me how to succeed
 So I bailed out, in the lab
 Beats sittin' in the jailhouse.
 (Can't understand...)
 Still I ask myself (why)
 I do what I do, live how I live
 It is what it is but
 I told my momma I'd change but it's clear I'll always be the same
 I ask myself
 I do what I do, live how I live
 It is what it is but
 I told my momma I'd change but it's clear I'll always be the same
 I ask myself
