The Roots - Why (What`s Goin On?) слова песни

WHY?? (6 x`s)Sky`s the limit so you know I`m gonna rise and shineI gotta do my thing, I`m kinda getting a little tired of all that`s hiddenThat`s the reason I`m a speak my mind, keep from going insaneNow work with it, we in the last innin`The world keeps spinnin`, my peoples steady losin` while the rich keep winnin`It`s like we neva smilin` and the devil steady grinnin`killin` what we representin`Even our children and women, 2K4, livin` above and under the lawYoung teen joins the marines, says he`ll die for the coreInducted up into the goverment`s war as if the land of money and oilFunny how ain`t none of it yoursI can`t sleep yo I`m paranoid, it`s code orangeIt`s far from right, I guess that`s why it feels so wrongTo see the world get stripped out of every resourceAnd people pray to Coca-Cola now instead of the godsWhat`s goin` on?WHY?? (6 x`s)Keepin` your head above water, hustlin` to surviveSome people chasin` a dream, others just chasin` a highSome people blind leading the blind, they chasin` a lieSome people chokin` backs broken barely makin` it byBut still they workin` all they live, they pushin` for the lightGivin` everything they got to stitch them swishes on ya Nike`sPuttin` pockets on our jeans, mining diamonds for them ringsRewarded with small change and bullets in the brainsAnd it makes me feel strange everything we take for grantedAt times I feel stranded on this planet of mineNow should I pull the hammer, clap it out, and laugh about itOr stand up, be counted while I cast my ballotWhen the undertaker`s busy and the prison`s is crowdedPeople livin` in fear because they vision is cloudedBut the sky`s the limit, I ain`t cryin` you a riverGotta move me a mountain, I`m a git up and shout itWHY?? (6 x`s)When I dream it`s hounds on my heels gainin` momentumI`m tired, can`t get uninspired or quit runnin`I can feel they only inches behind, I escape, I surviveSome how I gotta decide how much I want itOr is anybody listenin` without a pot to piss inIf I disappear I wonder if the world will know I`m missin`Who my support system, it`s not the court systemGotta letter it said that you`re not avoiding prisonPeople `neath the microscope `cause we defining the cultureThey smile and insult you like you shinin` their loafersThem old heads say we need a modern day MosesWhen the leaders is posers we needing some soldiersIt`s the X generation, The anger is a natureGot the writing on the wall so clear that I can taste itLike a kid sniffing glue somewhere trying to escapeCause we vulnerable and nakedGotta show `em we can make itWHY??
