[Intro: Twista] Yeah And the question is why Prozak, Saganow what up Tech N9ne, Kansas City what up Twista, Chi-Town what up And we do it like this [Verse 1: Prozak] How can somebody explain to me Why we been followed by evil for so many centuries Locked in prison the world is a penitentiary Such a catastrophe and it follows our destiny But crackhead mothers and fathers are beating their children Suicide bombers are crashing our planes into buildings While HIV is spreadin' and k**in' off millions And down in New Orleans there's several ABANDONED civilians They're spillin' the blood of other people for barrels of oil The bodies are burning and scattered all over the soil Feeling the tension as tempers and temperatures boil Strikin' the soul is a serpent that rattles and coils God, tell me what has now become of us Shame on us for becoming a race so dangerous And even with hate in us You never did stray from us Instead of forsaking us You have forgaven us Why? [Hook:] Why? Why does the devil be callin' my name Why? Testin' my faith with his devilish games Why? Feeling insane as I was in the brain Why oh Why? Followed by darkness you fear them, then blow Why? Circle above me you see the black crows Why? Father forgive me you Reap what you sow Why oh Why? [Verse 2: Tech N9ne] Do we get off on the fact that our governments f**in' Iraq from the back And we know that this hate is from us and not from Allah? Why do we gamble with givers of grief And I'm wondering why do we live in the dark and my life's not fa la la la la la Momma be askin' me, (why?) do you believe in this b**hes be askin' me, (why?) don't you wanna peep in this n***as be askin' me, (why?) do you put p**y on a pedestal Pimpin' you probably should put money first cause you weak in this Why is this sh** draggin'? Why does everybody know to operate a fully automatic And nobody with the lovin' that the one above is givin' us a little bit of light up in the hell of it Everybody livin in polygamy you givin me but ain't nobody celibate So the question we askin' is Why? Are we the wickedness when is the trip for the sickness to fly Look at the blood and the tears and the piss and the sh** in yo eye God will be back any day any second so wait for the day that He spray and we die [Hook:] [Verse 3: Twista] Could you tell me why would HE ever show mercy these days Why? Just look at the world we be cursin' the earth with these plagues Why? Sometimes I feel evil as if it's the birth of the worst And the Earth needs emergency surgery all of this hurt can be raised How? Turn us into demons that's that's screamin' I'm dreamin' that even the devil was special before he had fallen from grace Why do we murder But God Won't abandon his women and children even though his baby's will bust a 380 all in your face Why do we k** Gotta hit him in the body with a bullet will you pull it but he never look a brother see HE'LL love us even if he didn't feel us to the fullest Please tell me Why? How you love us even though we gotta hurt each other even our brother or the mother I don't feel it on the realest you can put it any way you wanna put it Why? Even through the terror on the planet you can still find love Why? Even through the torture and the murder you can still find love But if you try to be a rebel on a level of the devil we get buried with the shovel and be cast outta heaven so in hell we can still wind up [Hook:] [Outro:] Why? Why? Why? Why-y-y-y oh-h-h-h why? Why? Why? Why? Why-y-y-y-y oh-h-h-h Why?
