[Hook]:
Why it gotta be like this?
Why it gotta be like this?
I lost my baby and it's gonna drive me crazy
Why it gotta be like this?
Why it gotta be like this?
I lost my baby and it's gonna drive me crazy
[Verse One]:
Can't even eat right
Street life, ma don't even sleep nights
Thinkin' 'bout your tender loving care roamin' these street lights
He might, lose his f**in' mind is what the people think
Keep a drank, drowning in my sorrows for the reason ain't
Enough time in this song to tell you how much I miss you
Tears falling at every wall that carries your picture
I remember them days, begging you please to stop
Your little son needed love but you needed a rock
Damn
But you made sure there was meals on the table for us
Can't even describe how I drew strength from your faith and glory
A story you told me that made me think
If you believe you can achieve, ain't no such thang as can't
[Hook]:
Why it gotta be like this?
Why it gotta be like this?
I lost my baby and it's gonna drive me crazy
Why it gotta be like this?
Why it gotta be like this?
I lost my baby and it's gonna drive me crazy
[Verse Two]:
Geraldine Carrie
Rivers it's been scary
Living without your presence but I know you up in Heaven
Smiling down on your child still chasing his dream
But I can't kiss your beautiful face and it's making me scream
The situation that I'm going through is making me tougher
Sometimes I bow and ask the lord why is he making me suffer?
Love ya
Like no other, I look up at the clouds
Hoping that you hear me clearly cause I'm saying it loud
How
Can I be a better man and make the right decisions?
I try so hard to be in charge of this life I'm livin'
I'm lonely, crying to myself sitting in the dark
One thing I promise is you'll always be within my heart
[Hook]:
Why it gotta be like this?
Why it gotta be like this?
I lost my baby and it's gonna drive me crazy
Why it gotta be like this?
Why it gotta be like this?
I lost my baby and it's gonna drive me crazy
[Verse Three]:
Colder as the day goes
Remember playing with Legos
Watching you in the kitchen cookin' chicken and potatoes
Ain't no, comparison to compa**ion and character
That you instilled in me, filled with things, helping me carry the
Load on my back, a book bag full of pain and grief
Almost three years since you've been gone, I'm still in disbelief
I miss the sweat reflections when you were stressing
Told me to smile, it'll get better, we'll receive a blessing
A lesson, to the wise, value your mother's every breath
Cause if she goes, you ain't got 'nother left
A lesson, value your mother's every breath
Cause if she goes, you ain't got 'nother left

Why it gotta be like this?
I lost my baby and it's gonna drive me crazy
