Why?

Chorus:
Why they gotta kill mah dawg?
Why they gotta kill mah friend?
Why they gotta destroy it all?
Why does it hafta end?
Why do we hafta hate?
Why does the world pretend
That we do not relate?
Why do I need a friend?
…repeat…

Kaspah:
Life is full of questions but why are solutions-hidden?
Why are contributions-written when hoodlum’s fused-in-spittin?[tell me]
Why am I hated for portrayin-a-vision its like they payin-admission
To stay-n’ keep playin-n’-dissin
So what if I’m white and who cares-if-I’m-a-rappah
So what if your lookin for trouble, who dares-to-find-the-kaspah ?
Tell me what did I do to prove I’m not as deserving-as-you?
I’m just one teen that suffers the same hurting-as-two
The burning-is-through now I’m only yearning-to-prove
That after I blow off some steam the only one burning-is-you [tell me]
Why do I hafta bleed-to-laugh? Why do I hafta plead-to-blast?
Why do you lie-to-me? Why do I need-to-ask?
Why don’t you say hi-to-me when I see-yah-pass?
Why don’t I feel relieved when I get to breathe-at-last?
Depression’s malignant, can’t diagnose the-cancer-I’ve-got
Why?…………………………….Well the-answer’s-why-not

Chorus:
Why they gotta kill mah dawg?
Why they gotta kill mah friend?
Why they gotta destroy it all?
Why does it hafta end?
Why do we hafta hate?
Why does the world pretend
That we do not relate?
Why do I need a friend?
…repeat…

Kaspah:
Why do I even bother? Man i’m never-accepted
I would feel better-rejected as long as my letter’s-projected
For sobriety’s-sake why is it that variety’s-fake?
Why does society-bake? Why do people make propriety-shake?
Why must I crawl-from-the-cage? Why can’t I escape the call-of-this-stage
Why cant I just ball-up-this-page and throw away all-of-this-rage?
Why are people stupid? Why don’t they pay-attention?
Why am I afraid-to-mention my day by day’s-aggression?
Why does lookin at a crowd make me stutter-my-lines?
How do I utter-in-time a diss that covers-my-rhymes?
Why do I win the battle, even when we flow-the-same?
if i go-insane and get famous would u still know-my-name?
Why do pots get more handles than ballahz-can? I’m called-a-man
So why am I looked down upon by people that I’m tallah-than?
Why is victory not-exciting? Why do nations get caught-in-fighting?
Why must I show these thoughts-inside-me within a block-of-writing?


Chorus:
Why they gotta kill mah dawg?
Why they gotta kill mah friend?
Why they gotta destroy it all?
Why does it hafta end?
Why do we hafta hate?
Why does the world pretend
That we do not relate?
Why do I need a friend?

Kaspah:
So how am I a wanna be just cuz my jeans-is-saggin?
Why do they gleam-and-laugh-when they find out my dream-is-rappin?
what I want never seems-to-happen? I need to bring-this-actin
Back in and spring-it-at-them till my supportin beams-is-crackin
Why do I get mean-and-snap-when they tell me I can’t-make-it?
I just can’t-fake-it I can’t breathe I can’t see but I can-take-it
Why do I even attempt-to-understand the content-of-thunder-and
