[Jadakiss]   Aha   It's dat 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 Crist'   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 thing 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 gotta do me like that      [Jadakiss]   Why would niggaz push pounds and powder   Why did bush knock down the towers   Why you around them cowards   Why Aaliyah have to take that flight   Why my nigga D ain't pull out his Ferrari   Why he take that bike   Why they gotta open your package and read your mail   Why they stop lettin' niggaz get degreez in jail   Why you gotta do eighty-five percent of your time   And why do niggaz lie in eighty-five percent of they rhymes   Why a nigga always want what he can't have   Why I can't come through in the pecan Jag   Why did crack have to hit so hard   Even though it's almost over   Why niggaz can't get no jobs   Why they come up wit the witness protection   Why they let the terminator win the election   Come on, pay attention   Why sell in the stores what you can sell in the streets   Why I say the hottest shit but we sellin' the least      [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]
