Y? Lyrics - Labcabincalifornia - Pharcyde

Why is that?Why is that? 

Why is that? Why is that? 

Tell me why 

(Be like that you just be like that) 

Always gotta be like that 

(Baby, tell me why it's gotta be like that) 

Tell me why 

(Be like that you just be like that) 

Always gotta be like that 

(Baby, tell me why it's gotta be like that) 

Tell me why 

(Be like that you just be like that) 

Always gotta be like that 

(Baby, tell me why it's gotta be like that) 

Always gotta be like that 

(Be like that you just be like that) 

Always gotta be like that 

(Baby, tell me why it's gotta be like that) 

I wasn't sleepin' I was creepin' slidin', hidin' 

I would like the girl behind me roll up a bad time thinkin' 

Mentally sinkin' 'specially brinkin' 

Two decades and a half making a path for mine to follow 

The world is hollow, yet it's full of crap, prepared to gamble 

I give you half of chiseled pencil 

What's the come up, cried a ton of tears, drunk a ton of beers 

That's fun at first but learned in person fear throughout the years 

Kept my ears open, eyes scoping, mouth locked 

Don't rock the boat if you can't swim 

Nobody may not be there with the limb to limb 

This is the end, still I can't explain the fact 

Why the fuck shit gotta be like that? 

Tell me why 

Be like that, you just be like that 

Baby, tell me why it's gotta be like that 

Know what, I said it 

Hear me clearin' over so severe and dreaded 

That they need to be beheaded, why? 

I'm readily, steadily stimulate and then mutilate 

And all sloppily, copied imitations 

Cause they irritatin' so I'm intimidatin' them 

Over the snare with simply a stare 

Bringin' them turbulent terror 

And they know this 'cause they can feel it 

He knew that it was mine 

Still the sucker tried to steal it 

So I had to reveal it, through provin' 

That I am a star machine and fly 

And by just blinkin' my eye in a flash 

I flush out the face, layin' low-key 

Trained eyes locate to focus on the phony 

Mister sometime-homey, why he act like that 

I thought he had my back, I thought he had our backs 

But it was him who I should've never trusted 

And not at least till he got his attitude adjusted 

Or mouth busted for acting all dusted 

But bust this now when I'm out 

I seek and thought out the whole scene 

For all sinister's types, sneak that scheme 

They come into my face 

I send them tightmen home 

When they're sufferin' 

From the double agent syndrome, why? 

Why it gotta be like that 

Tell me why 

Be like that you just be like that 

Baby, tell me why it's gotta be like that 

Tell me why 

Be like that you just be like that 

Baby, tell me why it's gotta be like that 

Sometimes this world means everything to me 

The inside is lovely to these eyes I see 

And sometimes in my mind all I wanna do is cry 

Holly off, seven of them drops from my eye 

Thugs drain out my skin 'cause I'm pissed from within 

I see a situation now and all I do is grin 

People think I'm high but I'm mentally travelin' 

Agin' in short times 'cause life's a unravelin' 

While I'm straddlin' more's up this fuckin' mike 

I hate to be a pilot, crashin' in a flight 

People need to know about this thing called life 

'Cause if you see the light then life's alright 

So can you dig it 

Be like that you just be like that 

Baby, tell me why it's gotta be like that 

Be like that you just be like that 

Baby, tell me why it's gotta be like that 

I jumped inside the jeep as I embark on my darkness 

Popped in my freestyle tapes 

Started reminiscing about my little homie 

Who was raised in Wyoming wanted to be famous 

So he came to Californey on the microphony 

Was super bad and what not 

But he was the kinda fella to follow paths that was hot 

He became too fascinated with that gang related flavor 

That he modificated rearranged his behavior 

He hooked up quick with the influential slang 

Gangsta-strow corn rolls the whole shabbang 

Braggin' and boastin', boastin' and braggin' 

How we 'posed to be hangin' with Baby Gees, I was baggin' 

But what you tryin' hooride up on the bandwagon 

Hopin' they'd hit him in the head but he steady saggin' 

Like he a hog creepin' through the smog 

Smokin' on some Indo sippin' on a cup of O-Dog 

Like most who come to this West Coast society 

Tried to be because they think it's fly to be a menace 

So what a relic way to end this, got rolled up 

When he was strolling on a Sunday after tennis 

Niggas never listen, they gotta learn their lesson 

The hard way I'm guessin', guessin' 

BD as I hit the B and make a right on Weston 

Pops in my head the proverbial question, why? 

Be like that, you just be like that 

Baby, tell me why it's gotta be like that 

Tell me why 

(Be like that, you just be like that) 

Always gotta be like that 

(Baby, tell me why it's gotta be like that) 

Tell me why 

(Be like that, you just be like that) 

(Baby, tell me why it's gotta be like that) 

Tell me why 

(Be like that, you just be like that) 

(Baby, tell me why it's gotta be like that) 

Tell me why 

(Be like that, you just be like that) 

Always gotta be like that 

(Baby, tell me why it's gotta be like that) 

Tell me why, it always gotta be like that 

Tell me why, it always gotta be like that 

Always gotta be like that 

Always gotta be like that 

Tell me why
