[Hook: 2Pac] You wonda why they call you b**h You wonda why they call you b**h—I betcha You wonda why they call you b**h You wonda why they call you b**h—I betcha, b**h You wonda why they call you b**h You wonda why they call you b**h—I betcha You wonda why they call you b**h You wonda why they call you b**h [Verse 2: 2Pac] You leave your kids with your mama, cause your headin' for the club in a skin tight miniskirt looking for some love Got them legs wide open while you're sittin' at the bar Talking to some n***a 'bout his car I guess he said he had a Lexus, what's next? You heading to his car for some s**? I pa** by, can't hold back tears inside Cause Lord knows, for years I tried And all the other people on my block hate your guts Then you wonder why they stare and call you "s*ut" It's like your mind don't understand You don't have to k** your dreams plotting schemes on a man Keep your head up, legs closed, eyes open
Either a n***a wear a rubber or he die smokin' I'm hearing rumors, so you need to switch And n***as wouldn't call you b**h—I betcha! [Hook: 2Pac] You wonda why they call you b**h You wonda why they call you b**h—I betcha You wonda why they call you b**h You wonda why they call you b**h—I betcha, b**h You wonda why they call you b**h You wonda why they call you b**h—I betcha You wonda why they call you b**h You wonda why they call you b**h [Verse 3: 2Pac] I guess times getting hard, even harder for you Cause hey now, got a baby on the way now More money from the county, and thanks to the welfare You're about to get your hair done Got a dinner date, can't be late Trick or treat, sweet thang got another trick to meet The way he did it it was smooth Plotting while he gaming you, so baby, peep the rules I should've seen it in the first case, the worst case I should've never called you back in the first place I remember back in high school, baby, you was fast Straight s** when you moved your a** But now things change, cause you don't look the same Let the ghetto get the best of you, baby, that's a shame Caught HIV and now you 'bout to be deceased And finally be at peace So where your n***as at now? Cause everybody left They stepped, and left you on your own See, I loved you like a sister, but you died too quick And that's why we called you b**h—I betcha! [Hook: 2Pac] You wonda why they call you b**h You wonda why they call you b**h—I betcha, b**h You wonda why they call you b**h You wonda why they call you b**h—I betcha, b**h You wonda why they call you b**h You wonda why they call you b**h—I betcha, b**h You wonda why they call you b**h You wonda why they call you b**h [Outro: 2Pac] Dear Ms. Delores Tucker, keep stressing me f**ing with a motherf**ing mind I figured you wanted to know You know, why we call them hoes b**hes And maybe this might help you understand It ain't personal, strictly business, baby, strictly business So If you wonder why we call you b**h You wonder why we call you b**h If you wonder why we call you b**h You wonder why we call you b**h
