[Jadakiss]
Aha
It's dead real
Yo, why is Jadakiss as hard as it gets
Why is the industry designed to keep the artist in debt
And why them dudes ain't ridin' if there part of your set
And why they never get it poppin' but they party to death
Yea, and why they gon give you life for a murder
Turn around only give you eight months for a burner, it's goin down
Why they sellin' niggaz CD's for under a dime
If it's all love daddy why you come wit your nine
Why my niggaz ain't get that cake
Why is a brother up North better than Jordan
That ain't get that break
Why you ain't stackin' instead of tryin' to be fly
Why is rattin' at an all time high
Why are you even alive
Why they kill Tupac n' Chris
Why at the bar you ain't take straight shots instead of poppin' Criss
Why them bullets have to hit that door
Why did Kobe have to hit that raw
Why he kiss that whore
Why

[Chorus: Anthony Hamilton]
All that I been givin'
Is this pain that I've been living
They got me in the system
Why they gotta do me like that
Try'd to make it my way
But got sent up on the highway
Why, oh why
Why they do me like that

[Emcee]
Unh Check it
Why do stupid-ass people look at the sun when they know its bright
Why did Tyson have to bite that guy's ear off in a fight
Why do Snoop Dogg smoke so much weed to make him look high
Why did Tupac, Biggie, and JMJ have to die (JMJ = Jam Master Jay)
Why do people think they the shit when the tryin' to mack
Why do people shoot each other with their fuckin' gat
Why did Magic have to quit basketball when he was gettin high paid
Why didn't he just stay if they had a cure for aids
Why do alot of people in the world love to eat meat
Why did they trade Shaquille O'Neal to the Miami Heat
Why do some men take showers instead of baths
Why did Jay-Z leave Roc-A-Fella and go to Shady Aftermath
Why do people send letters then end up in the mail
Why do C-Murder keep killin' people and ending up in jail
Why do people keep expensive shits in their pockets
Why did they trade T-Mac to the Houston Rockets
Why

[Chorus]

[Jadakiss]
Uh, yea, yo
Why Halle have to let a white man pop her to get a Oscar
Why Denzel have to be crooked before he took it
Why they didn't make the CL6 wit a clutch
And if you don't smoke why the hell you reachin' for my dutch
Why rap, cause I need air time
Why be on the curb wit a “Why lie, I need a beer” sign
Why all the young niggaz is dyin'
Cause they moms at work, they pops is gone, they livin' wit iron
Why they ain't give us a cure for aids
Why my diesel have fiends in the spot on the floor for days
Why you screamin' like it's slug, it's only the hawk
Why my buzz in L.A. ain't like it is in New York
Why you forcin' you to be hard
Why ain't you a thug by choice
Why the whole world love my voice
Why try to tell 'em that it's the flow son
And you know why they made the new twenties
Cause I got all my old ones
That's why

[Chorus]
