[Hook] Tell me why, all the ones that said it was fake Tell me why, all the ones that's loving to hate Tell me why, all the ones that laughed in my face When Carpe Diem hit the streets they was calling my name? Tell me why x16 [Verse 1] Jay Z, Biggie, Run DMC Remedies to what I see on the TV screen N**ga my need to succeed, beats my need to breathe Late nights on my knees while I pray to G O D Im the sequel, flows so lethal Rarely understood because I ain't like other people, it cool How can a pigeon envision the visions o f a eagle My flow is illegal, its point blank, its so needle I had feeble, dreams of Cole k**ing beats Vibing to Nas and Biggie on the city streets While I was praying on, futures I'm saving on, my n***a Richy said whats busy n***a what you waiting on So, I let my green stock, my clock went tick tock My door went knock knock, like n***a when you sh** drop But those was my old ways, another book another line That was my old page, the old sage Exclusive like old jays, ripping like beyblades Hitting like colgate while I'm shooting like AKs I said it, smooth flows I get it, its OP Initials of the name that said it, never forget it Tell me why [Hook] [Verse 2] I'm trying to give hearing to the deaf, vision to the blind Open they eyes, with influential potential In this game its essential to change lives, it changed mine A few minds, plus great minds, change time A few notes plus, plus great quotes, make hope Immense strength plus great strength, make hope And as a token of my appreciation, I'm basing this track On the fact, that I'm taking it back To when it was all a lesson, N A S preaching, B I G preaching No time for sleep, I'm destined to be, the minds a blessing so when tested Be the best you could be Me, I'm in the house. Cory, no dory, I keep swimming I'm human i keep sinning, God willing I keep living on This earth we living on, with dreams I'm clinging on I stay with it, no baseball I know cricket, no cookies I eat biscuits Fries I eat chips it, reminds me of the days I span blades but now i spit lyrics, my talent was exposed I chose to stick with it, far from a cheap gimmick Only a strong spirit, know not one limit With lyrics like hieroglyphics, that exhibit How I'm feeling. Tell me why [Hook]
