I Don`t Know Why(ft.mo B. Dick) Lyrics

I Don`t Know Why(ft.mo B. Dick)

[Mia X & Mo B. Dick]
Ooh, ooh, ooh, hey yeah, ahh no
So much yeah,
ooh

[Mia X singing]
There's so much trouble in my life
Sometimes
it gets so bad I just breakdown and cry
I got my rent to pay and it's
overdue
Don't wanna sale my body just to make it through
You see I can't
depend upon no man
To be responsible or even understand
It's just the way
it is at this point and time
Sometimes it gets so scared unless it blows my
mind
Me and my homegirls, we got a plan
Every night at seven we'll take
things in our own hands
Now we can play around, let's make some ends
I
got my hustle on cause money's my best friend

[Mia X rapping; Verse
1]
I wanna be stress free, rest easy at night
But there's so much drama
goin' on in my life
These days, nights missed get you labeled naive
And
commons get taking for stupidity
So I keep my guard up in this macho
world
Cause everybody's running game on mama's little girl
We getting
babies from shady, wanna-be playas
Who wanna lay us, stick ya, hit ya,
forget ya while we stay up
Crying till our eyes are swollen
Single
mothers got the weight of the world on they shoulders
Want em' to hold us
and tell us it's gon' be alright
Even the hardest sister needs a good man in
her life
I paid the price and my life is still in a damper
After times of
dirty dancing, get the babies pampers
And don't talk about the welfare and
how they knock us
Knowing that chunp change can't provide nothing
proper
While the doctors give us new-age birth control
They make the
swollen to skinny
Bleeding constantly or missing monthly, scrapping
pennies
While my kid's daddy slinging those Z's
But ain't doing shit for
neither one of these
Should I ease up, grab a case, and set it off like
Jada
Break with the paper, get in a comfort zone from pullin'
capers
Makes us wanna holler, scream, and shout and say
Oh father, why I
got live this way

[Chorus: Mo B. Dick & (Mia X)]
I don't know why
I live this way (I don't know why I live this way)
I don't know why I live
this way (Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah)
I don't know why I live this way (I
don't know why I live this way)
I don't know why I live this way (Don't know
why, I live this way)

[Verse 2]
All my sisters keep ya head up, we
ain't giving up without a fight
There's been a struggle but pretty soon we
gonna bubble
Though trouble be knocking on my door like every 24-7
Heaven
knows that I like to keep the bills in check and
Letting my kids down on they
birthday
Gnaws at my heart and tears me apart
Can't let it go like
this
Racing through the malls at Christmas time, Babylon
Got my mind on
trip, December 25th ain't gotta bit
To do with Christ or his birth
Greedy
devils give us pagan, holler
And profit off us give praise for better
days
Better be ahead of what I said
Third, I can see I can destroy the
mental chains on our enslaved brains
Cocaine, be the aim, be the means of
profit
But logically it tells me I'm going to jail and getting killed
Oh
well, I gotta do what I gotta
Until a new day when I don't have to ask why I
live this way

[Chorus] to fade
