[00:12.380] why, why, why, why, why. why
[00:25.470] i really wish i could explain it baby (why)
[00:28.680] it's just the world is kinda crazy baby (why)
[00:31.340] ain't no pretty way to paint it baby (why),
[00:34.410] don't cry, dry your eyes
[00:36.790] september 11th, i woke up about 7am,
[00:39.400] west coast time, french toast and my
[00:41.460] turkey bacon, taking my time, awakin', turning my tv on
[00:44.730] to my surprise, saw what everybody in the world saw
[00:47.950] me & my children, images were chillin'
[00:50.950] my son said, "daddy were there people in that building?"
[00:53.820] a cold sweat, frozen with a lump in my chest
[00:56.570] i heard his question, couldn't bring my lips to say "yes" to him
[01:00.220] that night at my son's side, he cried & prayed
[01:03.480] for the one's who died in the world trade
[01:06.220] his palms to god, seeds and qualms with god
[01:08.600] he just kept on pressin' me, wanna know why
[01:11.750] then one week later our bombs were dropped
[01:14.789] we seein' them on cnn, they just won't stop
[01:19.500] the infrared images of brutal attack
[01:21.530] he said, "daddy now we killin' em back"; (right, right)
[01:25.370] i really wish i could explain it baby (why)
[01:29.600] it's just the world is kinda crazy baby (why)
[01:32.289] ain't no pretty way to paint it baby (why)
[01:35.140] don't cry, dry your eyes
[01:38.380] i really wish i could explain it baby (why)
[01:41.600] it's just the world is kinda crazy baby (why)
[01:44.440] ain't no pretty way to paint it baby (why)
[01:48.060] don't cry, dry your eyes
[01:50.600] mmmmm, souls are captured
[01:52.840] dreams are stolen
[01:55.870] hearts are broken
[01:58.970] evil blatantly rewarded
[02:01.890] hate surrenders,
[02:04.620] love exalted
[02:07.650] hope elated
[02:10.689] negativity is shorted
[02:13.900] eye is to die
[02:15.190] why is the bomb always getting the last word
[02:17.290] & why did her uncle have to molest her
[02:20.829] & why did all them cops have to be shootin\' to kill
[02:23.730] & why did all them priests have to act so ill
[02:26.770] tell me why did james byrd jr. have to be touched
[02:29.440] tell me why did malcolm & martin depart from us
[02:33.100] tell me why did that sniper make the little boy shoot
[02:35.820] & why does human life always denied for loot
[02:39.100] tell me why did mandela have to live in a cage
[02:41.870] why did my brother sterling have to die at that age
[02:44.950] tell me why did reginald denny deserve his fate
[02:47.890] & why the fk can\'t love seem to defeat hate
[02:50.990] tell me why is it so hard for all the children to eat
[02:54.010] why did pac & biggie smalls have to fall in the street
[02:56.920] tell me why did jam master jay have to go that way
[02:59.980] please what am i supposed to say to my kids when they say 'why?'
[03:04.600] i really wish i could explain it baby (why),
[03:07.700] it's just the world is kinda crazy baby (why),
[03:10.660] ain't no pretty way to paint it baby (why)
[03:13.370] don't cry, dry your eyes
[03:17.400] i really wish i could explain it baby (why)
[03:19.720] it's just the world is kinda crazy baby (why)
[03:23.400] ain't no pretty way to paint it baby (why)
[03:25.970] dont cry, dry your eyes
[03:28.560] can't explain it baby, life is just really crazy
[03:31.350] i mean if it\'s world wars or the life of a little baby
[03:34.720] we got more stores than they got rice under buddha lazy
[03:38.010] you live four scores & still it be driving you crazy
[03:41.450] but for me i try to see the bright side
[03:44.080] sometimes it'd be like the goodness be tryin' to hide
[03:47.090] then try to flee, but it can't it's deep inside
[03:50.190] sweetie, you be the light for the others, make 'em believe in god
[03:52.690] mmmmm, souls are captured
[03:56.200] dreams are stolen
[03:58.840] hearts are broken
[04:02.000] evil blatantly rewarded
[04:04.530] hate surrenders
[04:07.400] love exalted
[04:10.020] hope elated
[04:13.650] negativity is shorted
