Why (What's Goin On?) (Explicit) - The Roots[00:00:05]

Written by：Ranaldo Evans[00:00:07]

Why[00:00:19]

Sky's the limit so you know I'm gonna rise and shine[00:00:23]

I gotta do my thing I'm kinda getting a little tired of all that's hidden[00:00:26]

That's the reason I'm a speak my mind keep from going insane[00:00:30]

Now work with it we in the last innin'[00:00:32]

The world keeps spinnin' my peoples steady losin' while the rich keep winnin'[00:00:35]

It's like we neva smilin' and the devil steady grinnin'[00:00:39]

Killin' what we representin'[00:00:42]

Even our children and women 2 k4 livin' above and under the law[00:00:44]

Young teen joins the marines says he'll die for the core[00:00:48]

Inducted up into the government's war as if the land of money and oil[00:00:51]

Funny how ain't none of it yours[00:00:55]

I can't sleep yo I'm paranoid it's code orange[00:00:57]

It's far from right I guess that's why it feels so wrong[00:01:00]

To see the world get stripped out of every resource[00:01:03]

And people pray to coca cola now instead of the gods[00:01:06]

What's goin' on[00:01:09]

Why[00:01:11]

Keepin' your head above water hustlin' to survive[00:01:31]

Some people chasin' a dream others just chasin' a high[00:01:34]

Some people blind leading the blind they chasin' a lie[00:01:37]

Some people chokin' backs broken barely makin' it by[00:01:40]

But still they workin' all they live they pushin' for the light[00:01:43]

Givin' everything they got to stitch them swishes on ya nike's[00:01:46]

Puttin' pockets on our jeans mining diamonds for them rings[00:01:49]

Rewarded with small change and bullets in the brains[00:01:51]

And it makes me feel strange everything we take for granted[00:01:54]

At times I feel stranded on this planet of mine[00:01:58]

Now should I pull the hammer clap it out and laugh about it[00:02:00]

Or stand up be counted while I cast my ballot[00:02:03]

When the undertaker's busy and the prison's is crowded[00:02:06]

People livin in fear because they vision is clouded[00:02:09]

But the sky's the limit I ain't cryin' you a river[00:02:12]

Gotta move me a mountain I'm a git up and shout it[00:02:15]

Why[00:02:18]

When I dream it's hounds on my heels gainin' momentum[00:02:41]

I'm tired can't get uninspired or quit runnin'[00:02:43]

I can feel they only inches behind I escape I survive[00:02:46]

Some how I gotta decide how much I want it[00:02:50]

Or is anybody listenin' without a pot to piss in[00:02:53]

If I disappear I wonder if the world will know I'm missin'[00:02:55]

Who my support system it's not the court system[00:02:59]

Gotta letter it said that you're not avoiding prison[00:03:01]

People 'neath the microscope 'cause we defining the culture[00:03:04]

They smile and insult you like you shinin' their loafers[00:03:07]

Them old heads say we need a modern day moses[00:03:09]

When the leaders is posers we needing some soldiers[00:03:12]

It's the x generation the anger is a nature[00:03:15]

Got the writing on the wall so clear that I can taste it[00:03:18]

Like a kid sniffing glue somewhere trying to escape[00:03:22]

Cause we vulnerable and naked[00:03:24]

Gotta show em we can make it[00:03:25]

Why[00:03:27]
