[Intro: Violent J]
Why? Why do these questions come to mind
When the answer is just so far away?
The questions I ask myself everyday

[Verse 1: Shaggy 2 Dope & Violent J]
Why? Everytime I reach for the sky
I can only reach so high, Why?
Why? Everytime I headbutt a brick wall
I always crack my skull, Why?
Why? Everytime I stab somebody
I'm always gettin my clothes bloody, Why?
Why? Everytime I drive down the wrong side of the street
Everybody wanna beep, Why?
Why? Everytime I'm broke and I sell rock
I wind up in a cell block, Why?
Why? Everytime I shoot somebody in the face
Pigs give chase, Why?
Why? Everytime I drink a little gasoline
I shit my spleen, Why?
Why? When I try to fly like a birdy
I wind up on a gurney, dead tell me why

[Chorus: Esham]
Won't you tell me why? Someone tell me why?
Jesus tell me why? I must find out why
Won't you tell me why? Someone tell me why?
Jesus tell me why? I must find out why
[Verse 2: Shaggy 2 Dope & Violent J]
Why? Everytime I swallow a flathead nail
My neck feels stale, Why?
Why? Everytime I contact dark spirits
They wanna break my mirrors, Why?
Why? Everytime I choke a friend's neck
He don't come back, Why?
Why? Everytime I stab my eyes with an icepick
I can't see shit, Why?
Why? Everytime I play chicken with a train
It wins the game, Why?
Why? Everytime I wake the dead up
They try to eat my head up, Why?
Why? Everytime I see my reflection
I see no direction, Why?
Why? Everytime I order a taco
You want a bite motherfacko? Tell me why

[Chorus: Esham]
Won't you tell me why? Someone tell me why?
Jesus tell me why? I must find out why
Won't you tell me why? Someone tell me why?
Jesus tell me why? I must find out why

[Scratching]
"I admit I can't explain it"
"I admit I can't explain it"
"I admit I can't explain it"
"I admit I can't explain it"
"I admit I can't explain it"
"I admit I can't explain it"
"I admit I can't explain it"
[Verse 3: Shaggy 2 Dope & Violent J]
Why? Everytime I raise my arms in celebration
Player hation, Why?
Why? Just cause I'm dead, decayed, and passed
You give me no ass, Why?
Why? Everytime I chew on thumbtacks
I get blood on my snacks, Why?
Why? Every time I kick Faygos in the sky, you wanna know WHY (WHY) WHY (WHY!)
Why? Everytime an angel wanna kiss me
It always seems to miss me, Why?
Why? Why does Shangri-La seem so far away
You better leave today. It don't matter why

[Hook x7]
NO MATTER WHY! (repeated over the chorus)
