Why - Anthony Hamilton Lyrics - Anthony Hamilton

[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]
