[Verse 1]
Yo, yo
You wanna know why I'm stressing?
I make mistakes and never learn my lesson
It's the same old routine and complacency brings depression
Now I'm always feeling like I'm lost in this, apartment
Now I'm just waiting for a consequence
And apart from my competence, I rarely go assert my dominance
Remain anonymous, my confidence, is slipping and dipping inside a hole that's reflective of my decisions
You couldn't miss it, now I'm
Sick of n***as tryna tell me I ain't fit for the streets
Cause I ain't repping a set or gripping ridiculous heat
But when they laying in their coffin, guess they sicker than me
Yet I'm the one who's steady preaching to these kids on these beats
I'm seeking the action, that's why I'm bleeding with passion
You on the path to living the life you imagined?
And if you got a good ass job, then why you rapping?
I'm sick and tired of all of the questions they asking like why, why, why why?

[Chorus: Jamila Woods]
Why, why, why why
Why, why, why why
Why, why, why why, why, why

[Verse 2:]
Just got out of a slump, got my head in the game
Now I'm hitting the road, but I ain't testing the range rover
Game's over, time for the take over
And I ain't give a damn bout who believe in me
My mama always told me I should speak for peace
That's why I'm heat with the speech on beats
And I don't talk I let the features speak
My mind is another place
Maybe that's why when I rap, you see another face
See Martin and Malcolm, got me questioning how come
We still can't change any outcomes
That's why they call on sight, on a Harlem night
And then we ball up, fight, and then we march for rights
I know Kendrick done said that 'We Gon' Be Alright'
Just trying to give you calm advice for a common vice, iight?
[Chorus: Jamila Woods]
Why, why, why why
Why, why, why why
Why, why, why why, why, why

[Verse 3: Jamila Woods]
Rain so hot in the neighbourhood
My love don't call when she said she would
Friends who come don't stay for good, no, no, no
Why?
Pigs want take black mama's kids
Bible say we all from the same rib
But some of us go to heaven too soon
Why some of us get to heaven too soon
