Will Smith feat. Mary J Blige - Tell Me Why
(Mary J Blige)
Why x5
CHORUS:
I really wish I could explain it baby (Why)
It's just the world is kinda crazy baby (Why)
Ain't no pretty way to paint it baby (Why)
Don't cry, dry your eyes
Verse 1:
September 11 I woke up around 7am
West coast time, french toast and my turkey benedict
Takin' my time awakin' turnin' my TV on
To my surprise saw what everybody in the world saw
Me and my children and my Jiz were chillin'
My son said, "daddy were there people in that building?"
A cold sweat, frozen with a lump in my chest
I heard his question, couldn't bring my lips to say yes to him
That night and my son sighed he cried and prayed
For the ones who died in the World Trade
His palms to God, seeds and quams with God he just
Kept on pressin' me he wanted to know why then
One week later our bombs were dropped we seein' them
On CNN, they just won't stop
The infrared, images of brutal attack
He said "daddy now we killin' them back"
Right, right
CHORUS X2
(Mary J Blige)
Souls are captured
Dreams are stolen
Bonds are broken
Evil play rewarded
Case surrender
Love exalted
Hope me lady
Negativity is shooting
Verse 2:
Eyes to God why is the mom always gettin' the last word
And why did her uncles have to molest her
And why did all them cops have to be shootin' to kill
And why did all them priests have to act so ill
Tell me why did James Byrd Jr. had to be touched
Tell me why did Malcom and Martin depart from us
Tell me why did the sniper make that little boy shoot
And why is human life always denied for loot
Tell me why did Mandela have to live in a cage
Why did my brother Sterling had to die at that age
Tell me why did Reginald Denny deserve his fate
And why the f*** can't love seem to beat hate
Tell me why is it so hard for all the children to eat
Why did 'Pac and Biggie Smalls have to fall on the street
Tell me why did Jam Master Jay have to go that way
Please, what am I supposed to say to my kids when they say
CHORUS X2
Verse 3:
Can't explain it baby life is just really crazy
I mean if this world war's order life of a little baby
We got more stores than they got rice under booty lazy
You live four scores and still it be drivin' you crazy
But for me I try to see the button side
Sometimes it be like the goodness be tryin' to hide
Or tryin' to flee
But it can't it's deep inside
Sweetie you be the light for others make 'em believe in God
(Mary J Blige)
Souls are captured
Dreams are stolen
Bonds are broken
Evil play rewarded
Case surrender
Love exalted
Hope me lady
Negativity is shooting
