Why [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 crydry your eyes September 11thI woke up about 7amwest coast timeFrench toast and my Turkey bacontaking my timeawakin turning my TV on To my surprisesaw what everybody in the world saw Me & my childrenimages were chillin My son saidDaddy were there people in that building? A cold sweatfrozen with a lump in my chest I heard his questioncouldn t bring my lips to say "Yes" to him That night at my son s sidehe cried & prayed For the one s who died in the World Trade His palms to Godseeds and qualms with God He just kept on pressin mewanna know why Then one week later our bombs were dropped We seein them on CNNthey just won t stop The infrared images of brutal attack He saidDaddy now we killin em back; (rightright) [CHORUS - (2x)] [BRIDGE - Mary J.
Blige:] Mmmmmsouls are captured Dreams are stolenhearts are broken Evil blatantly rewarded Hate surrendersLove exalted Hope elatednegativity is shorted Why is the bomb always getting the last word & why did her uncle have to molest her & why did all them cops have to be shootin to kill & why did all them priests have to act so ill Tell me why did James Byrd Jr.
have to be touched Tell me why did Malcolm & Martin depart from us Tell me why did that sniper make the little boy shoot & why does human life always denied for loot Tell me why did Mandela have to live in a cage Why did my brother Sterling have to die at that age Tell me why did Reginald Denny deserve his fate & why the f @k can t love seem to defeat hate Tell me why is it so hard for all the children to eat Why did Pac & Biggie Smalls have to fall in 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 Why? [CHORUS - (2x)] [VERSE 3] Can t explain it babylife is just really crazy I mean if it s world wars or the life of a little baby We got more stores than they got rice under Buddha lazy You live four scores & still it be driving you crazy But for me I try to see the bright side Sometimes it d be like the goodness be tryin to hide Then try to fleebut it can t it s deep inside Sweetieyou be the light for the othersmake em believe in God [BRIDGE - Mary J.
