Why (remix) (featuring Common Nas Styles P And Anthony Hamilton) lyrics

[Intro - Anthony Hamilton]

All that I've been given

It's this pain that I be living (The Remix, The Remix)

They got me in the system

Why they gotta do me like that



[Styles P]

Why is garbage music selling a lot

Why is the music industry state of mind real far from Hip Hop

Why vote republican if you black

Why build more jails, less schools cuz we under attack

Why I keep the four pound in the air

The revolution will not be televised get from around here

Why I keep my right fist in the sky

I let them know that "We Gonna Make It", don't plan our demise

Why you gotta teach your kids on your own

Cuz when you get in the zone, they bringing you in, you both getting cloned

Why we still gotta pray to Allah

It's Hip Hop, this the New World Order and they playin us hard

Why rappers getting protection

Why the country ain't flipped when they jerked the votes the last election

Why die for all my beliefs

I gotta look at my kids I rather smile then cry when he's sleep

That's why



[Chorus - Anthony Hamilton]

Why

Why they got me strugglin, why

All the brothas locked behind bars

Drained up in the system going crazy

I'm battling my pistol going why



[Common]

Why do niggas say I changed for a girl

Why you worried bout my clothes if my flow gon' change the world

Why you wait till you 30 to try to be hard

Why I gotta have religion if I believe in God

Why is Bush acting like he trying to get Osama

Why don't we impeach him and elect Obama

Why ain't Rick James remembered for classic hits

Why do we remember Rick for smackin a bitch

Why did Ricky Williams retire, they mad at Miami

Why did Justin sell Janet out and go to the Grammy's

Why you kill on every song, why you frown at the screen

It’s so many thrones, why we argue who is the King

Why it's over for the gangsta, why it's over for bling

Why they hype Britney up, they know she can't sing

Why I’m ripping the chain of black american dream

Why I know it in my heart it remains unseen

Why



[Chorus}



[Nas]

Registered voter not blood of a panther

Why is the question what is the answer

Got a suggestion, here's an example

Won't we build our own airline, states, and highways

Fly to Africa, do some trades with Zimbabwe

Why did Malcolm's mission die with the man

Why we ain't pick it up where he left it and carry out his plan

Why the merger try to exclude L.A. Reid

He brought you Usher, Outkast top-selling CD's

Why do half America got AIDS

Why do schools care about your son's braids more than they care for his
grades

Why they hate our white t-shirts and hats turned backwards

And why is Jesus Christ never played by black actors

And why there ain't a MC that can touch me nor budge me

And why is Nas the best thing in rap since Chuck D

And why this record ain't sell 5 mill yet

Jada's as real as it get

Put my money where my mouth is

We do something bout this



[Chorus]



[Jadakiss]

Yo by thugs I'm surrounded

Tell me why is it the money motivates me but the love keeps me grounded

Why my cases ain't get thrown out

And why team USA keep getting blown out

Why the Democratic party ain't getting with me

Why they still hanging black bodies in Mississippi

Yea, why did governor McGrevey get caught with a lizard

Why they take away Shyne's phone calls and visits

Why I been hot for 7 years

Why the new M5 come with 7 gears

Please tell me why y'all keep making that trash

Why they reinstating the draft, why is it so much hating you have

And why sell records and keep working

Why we go on stage with the bread with the feet working

Shit Ii's real, why when I loved on die you miss them

Why it took for me to make "Why" for y'all to listen



[Chorus]
