Why

[Verse 1: Prince Ea]
Why is Prince Ea as hard as it gets?
Why do niggas not know the facts but still wanna argue and shit?
(Rewind scratches)
Why do niggas not know the facts but still wanna argue and shit?
Why they monopolize our minds, all to get rich?
Just remember this, whoever you are, karma's a bitch
Why do record companies say you hot, but they won't sign ya?
Cause they close minded, like old timers
Why they want a commercial nigga with gold diamonds
And they leave you underground to die like coal miners?
Why they don't listen to a thing you say?
And your producer wanna see you FUCK like B2K
Why do the Feds keep raisin the interest rates?
And why our government gotta take our freedoms away to keep us safe? (Bullshit)
Why is the truth minimized?
Why they call it collateral damage when statistically it's genocide?
Why we gotta rape cities? Why I got hate in me?
Why did Sean Bell have to take 50?
Why did Bush knock down the towers?
And why his grandfather Prescott bring Hitler to power?
Why didn't Ron Paul win the election?
Wait, serious question, Why didn't Ron Paul win the election?
Why is the wealthiest country in recession?
Why is an American child aborted every 20 seconds?
Why you keep on knocking my merits?
And why they replace AJ and Free with Rocsy and Terrence?
Homie why you acting like you ballin' for?
When everyone knows you hardly score like Charlie Ward
Why we don't exercise our right to vote?
And why songs degrading women the ones they like the most?
Why they ain't tell us DCA is the cure for cancer?
Why they rather see in handcuffs?
Why are most ghetto families in shambles?
Cause socioeconomics has nothing to do with food stamps and pampers
Why does Rupert Murdoch half of the stations, half of the newspapers, half of the nation?
Why its 2008 and you got racist beliefs?
Don't you realize genetically we all the same species
Why you scared to pick up the phone and call the cops?
Why they have to jump my nigga, in that parking lot?
Why you can't handle the facts?
Why is 500 grams of coke equal to 5 grams of crack?
Why you worried about my delivery and not my message?
How you think you gonna get the answers if you don't ask the questions?
If you don't ask the questions
If you don't ask the questions

[Outro: Prince Ea]
Yo man, you gotta ask questions out here. You know don't believe anything because you heard it. Don't believe anything because it is spoken in rumor my many. Don't believe anything simply because it is found in your religious books. Don't believe anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders. Don't believe in your traditions, because those traditions have been handed down for many generations. But after observation, and analysis, when you find that it agrees with reasons and is conducive to the good and benefit of one and all... then accept it, and live up to it
