Why (What's Goin On?)

The Roots
앨범 : The Tipping Point


WHY?? [6 xs]
Skys the limit so you know Im gonna rise and shine
I gotta do my thing, Im kinda getting a little tired of all thats hidden
Thats the reason Im a speak my mind, keep from going insane
Now work with it, we in the last innin
The world keeps spinnin, my peoples steady losin while the rich keep winnin
Its like we neva smilin and the devil steady grinnin
killin what we representin
Even our children and women, 2K4, livin above and under the law
Young teen joins the marines, says hell die for the core
Inducted up into the goverments war as if the land of money and oil
Funny how aint none of it yours
I cant sleep yo Im paranoid, its code orange
Its far from right, I guess thats why it feels so wrong
To see the world get stripped out of every resource
And people pray to Coca-Cola now instead of the gods
Whats goin on?
WHY?? [6 xs]
Keepin your head above water, hustlin to survive
Some people chasin a dream, others just chasin a high
Some people blind leading the blind, they chasin a lie
Some people chokin backs broken barely makin it by
But still they workin all they live, they pushin for the light
Givin everything they got to stitch them swishes on ya Nikes
Puttin pockets on our jeans, mining diamonds for them rings
Rewarded with small change and bullets in the brains
And it makes me feel strange everything we take for granted
At times I feel stranded on this planet of mine
Now should I pull the hammer, clap it out, and laugh about it
Or stand up, be counted while I cast my ballot
When the undertakers busy and the prisons is crowded
People livin in fear because they vision is clouded
But the skys the limit, I aint cryin you a river
Gotta move me a mountain, Im a git up and shout it
WHY?? [6 xs]
When I dream its hounds on my heels gainin momentum
Im tired, cant get uninspired or quit runnin
I can feel they only inches behind, I escape, I survive
Some how I gotta decide how much I want it
Or is anybody listenin without a pot to piss in
If I disappear I wonder if the world will know Im missin
Who my support system, its not the court system
Gotta letter it said that youre not avoiding prison
People neath the microscope cause we defining the culture
They smile and insult you like you shinin their loafers
Them old heads say we need a modern day Moses
When the leaders is posers we needing some soldiers
Its the X generation, The anger is a nature
Got the writing on the wall so clear that I can taste it
Like a kid sniffing glue somewhere trying to escape
Cause we vulnerable and naked
Gotta show em we can make it
WHY?? [hook repeats out]
