[Intro]
Last time around we hit you with a big question
We asked do you wanna be an mc
And now with the past of times
There's still a lot of questions that have gone un-answered
There's not enough answers but so many questions

[Verse 1]
Who (who) what (what) when (where) why (why)
Be a emcee if you can't vocalize
When will you visualize with your third eye
Why are you rappin if you don't qualify
Why do all rap guys try to be fly
Why lie
Why you write rhymes when you high
Who keeps it live from west coast to NY
K to the O, T to the I
Yo, I to the X, notify next of kin
When's the next trend
Who's the next Rakim
Who's the next greatest emcee of all time
Who's the next overrated emcee to shine
Who told these lady emcees that they were fine
Why make a record when you're way past your prime
How ya stackin dollars when ya barely drop a dime
How come all these hardcore brothers is straight lying
Who's the next wack cover act to get signed
Stacked on the record rack for a limited time
Why'd they push the price back to $9.99
When the cd's supposed to be top line

[Verse 2]
Where's the emcee that's supposed to be tight with the rhyme
Why on radio you say the same damn lines
Why do female emcees rhyme half naked
Why use R&B to have a hit record
Why everybody and they mama emcee
Why does new hot shit sound wack to me
How am I a hater if I hate your cd
How you more 'Bout it-'Bout it then Master P

[Verse 3]
Man, why ya askin me
What's up with all these biters
Why do rap superstars hire ghostwriters
How come everybody seems to kinda sound the same
Why can't these rappers try to stick with one name
Why are so many careers ended so soon
How come everybody's tryin to sample showtunes
Why do most artists make albums that don't move me
How come everybody thinks they gotta do a movie
Why do underground rappers always get neglected
How come everybody's comin with their "last" record
How come wack rappers never know when to chill
How come you don't make a name 'til you get killed

[Verse 4]
How ya call yourself God when you talk senseless
How are you a player when your album's on the benches
Why drop a record with a song full of disses
But when it comes to callin names ya actin like bitches
How ya goin platinum when ya hits are all misses
And every song sounding like a wish list from Christmas
Why emcees more concerned about getting checks
Why emcees wonder why they gets no respect
Why rap groups break up to go solo
End they careers puttin out weak promos
Why all the wack rappers in it for the money
Why all the wack rappers think their rhymes' funny
Why emcees' freestyle too long
Why they interludes sound better than they song

[Verse 5]
And how come on every music show that I know
In every video you got a million cameos
When artists gain a following within the underground
Why's the next album got the crossover sound
Why do groups break up to break contracts
Why do wack rappers try to make comebacks
How do wack rappers sell records off of hype
Why does everyone seem to look and sound alike
Why is everyone on everybody else's cuts
Why is everyone on everybody else's nuts
Why are most of ya'll even still in this profession
There's not enough answers for so many questions (questions)
