Tell Me Why

[Intro: Jon Izie]
Oooo We Miss You
We Miss You (Miss You)

[Verse 1: Stomper]
I'm Staying High
Cause All The Stress
Keep Fucking With My Mind
Fake Homies Turn To Phonies
Turn Around & Drop Dimes
Thinking About The Days
I Was Born & Raised
I Was Trapped In A Maze
Walking Around In A Daze
Watching Homies Get Buried
Walking Through The Cemetery
Stood Tall I Couldn't Fall
I Wouldn't Let Death Scare Me
Life As A Youngster
I Had To Stay High
I Didn't Wanna Die
I Just Couldn't Say Goodbye
I Really Can't Lie
So Let Me Tell You Why
When Enemies Rolled By
I Had To Let The Balas Fly
Cause Death Is Eternal
There Ain't No Coming Back
I Had To Stay Strapped
So To The Game I Adapt
The Streets Were So Insane
I Got Jump Into A Gang
Older Homies Trying To Test My Nuts
To See If I Can Hang
I Earn My Stripes
Man I Ain't The One To Test
Soldier Ink In My Flesh
Cause I Put His Ass To Rest

[Hook: Jon Izie]
Tell Me Why
Somebody Tell Me Why
All My Homies Keep Dying
And As The Years Keep Flying By
The Pressure's Building Up Inside
And As The Tears That I'm Crying
Feels Like My Eyes Are Going Blind
Feels Like I'm Running Out Of Time
And I Don't Wanna Say Goodbye

[Verse 2: Stomper]
As I Got A Little Older
The Whole World Got Colder
I Had To Pack A Strap
Always Look Over My Shoulder
My Mind Got Stronger
My Heart Got Bolder
Put In Work For The Hood
So They Calling My A Soldier
Now I'm The Man With The Master Plan
Cuete In My Hand
Now I Bang & Slang
Respect Came Easy
Cause Nobody Wanna See Me
I'm A Hi Power Solider
From The Pico Nuevo Peewees
And As Time Flew By
Nothing But Stress On My Mind
Thinking About My Homies
One By One They Kept Dying
A Heart Full Of Tears
As I Bury All My Peers
Lost Alot Of Good Homies
Through The Muthafucking Years
And All My Thugs Doing Drugs
Who The Fuck Can I Trust?
Crooked Cops On The Block
Looking For Someone To Bust
Fuck The World Was My Attitude
I Had No Hope
So Now They Got Me Laying Low
Up In The Hood Slanging Dope

[Hook: Jon Izie]
Tell Me Why
Somebody Tell Me Why
All My Homies Keep Dying
And As The Years Keep Flying By
The Pressure's Building Up Inside
And As The Tears That I'm Crying
Feels Like My Eyes Are Going Blind
Feels Like I'm Running Out Of Time
And I Don't Wanna Say Goodbye

[Verse 3: Stomper]
I Never Let Em See Me Cry
Ain't No Tears In My Eyes
Dear God Please Tell Me Why
My Homies Losing All Their Lives
Lost My Lil Homie Kower
This World Ain't The Same
It's Driving Me Insane
But The Game Will Never Change
One By One
As They Start To Subtract
I Clutch My Strap
But It Won't Bring Em Back
They Keep On Stretching Homies Out
Gots Me All Stressed Out
Retaliations Gang Relations
Homie What's This All About?
It's Like There's No Way Out
But Death Or The Jail House
I Ain't Taking That Route
I Rather Take Somebody Out
Smoking Weed, I'm A G
So It Really Ain't No Thing
I Drop A Coward To His Knees
And Watch Em Bleed In The Street
I Come 76 Deep
And Watch For Death When It Creeps
I'm Packing Weapons
As I'm Steppin Through The Big Southeast
Life Can Hurt Some Times
And Play Some Games On Your Mind
Wishing I Can Press Rewind
And Some How Turn Back The Time

[Hook: Jon Izie]
Tell Me Why
Somebody Tell Me Why
All My Homies Keep Dying
And As The Years Keep Flying By
The Pressure's Building Up Inside
And As The Tears That I'm Crying
Feels Like My Eyes Are Going Blind
Feels Like I'm Running Out Of Time
And I Don't Wanna Say Goodbye

[Verse 4: Stomper]
Is This The Way It Has To End?
Will My Heart Ever Mend?
Nothing But Memories Of Death
And All My Dead Friends
I Live The Life Of A G
It's The Way It Has To Be
And Now I Just Can't Sleep
I Wake Up Sweating In My Sheets
Its No Doubt I'm Stressed Out
Someone's Trying To Take Me Out
Someone Runnin' Their Mouth?
Someone Trying To Snitch Me Out
Somebody Tell Me
What Part Of The Game Is That?
Used To Be Down
But Now He's Labeled As A Rat
And As The World Keeps Turning
My Homies Keep Burning
The Streets Keep Teaching Lessons
But There Ain't Nobody Learning
Lord Why Must I Struggle
In This World Of Sin
Is That The Life That You Chose
For The Last Of Your Kin
Armageddon Who Said It?
Church Ways Of The Street
Even Though I Got A Strap
Still Hitting My Knee
So On My Very Final Day
Guess There's Nothing Else To Say
Take A Little Time To Pray
And Send Me On My Way

[Hook: Jon Izie]
Tell Me Why
Somebody Tell Me Why
All My Homies Keep Dying
And As The Years Keep Flying By
The Pressure's Building Up Inside
And As The Tears That I'm Crying
Feels Like My Eyes Are Going Blind
Feels Like I'm Running Out Of Time
And I Don't Wanna Say Goodbye

[Outro]
Ooooooo Tell Me Why
Ooooooo Why They Die
Tell Me Why
