《Reason(Explicit Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:05] I see people hating other people

[00:00:08] Tell me what's the reason

[00:00:11] That your kid is hungry you ain't got no money

[00:00:18] What's the reason

[00:00:20] By the time of age nine I'm already decidin'

[00:00:22] If I can protect mommy from the hood by fightin'

[00:00:24] Or usin' a knife or a gun when I'm twenty-one

[00:00:26] By by then them hoods woulda pushed their way in our apartment

[00:00:29] And we die then so I been a young nervous wreck in the projects

[00:00:33] Watchin' them older niggaz pass pot and they high man

[00:00:36] I'm just a young boy snot nose hair nappy

[00:00:38] Cops ride by squeezin' their trigger fingers at me

[00:00:41] So I would go to school and try to get good grades

[00:00:43] Teacher wrote mommy and kicked me outta school for havin' braids

[00:00:46] So she cussed them said "My son ain't no motherf**kin' hoodlum"

[00:00:48] They judged us thinking that we dumb 'cause where we come from

[00:00:51] Got a little older and now I see

[00:00:53] Young niggaz wanted by the powers that be (powers that be)

[00:00:58] I see people hating other people

[00:01:03] Tell me what's the reason

[00:01:07] That your kid is hungry you ain't got no money

[00:01:12] What's the reason

[00:01:14] For these wars we're fighting with each other

[00:01:19] Season after season

[00:01:22] When you're workin' hard but there ain't nothing comin'

[00:01:27] What's the reason

[00:01:29] Uh picture a Black nanny and a baby in a basket pushin' down 5th Ave

[00:01:32] She never had it it's not hers to begin with

[00:01:35] She gives it breakfast baths and dinners

[00:01:36] Treats it so tender while her own kids live alone at home with no phone on

[00:01:41] Ain't had a good meal in so long but so long as mommy's a maid

[00:01:44] Cookin' and cleanin' she wanna feed her kids and her kids are dreamin'

[00:01:49] Where's my daddy who's my daddy have you seen him

[00:01:51] I could imagine them askin' what type of human be-ing

[00:01:54] Could leave his family go back to the Carribean

[00:01:57] Was he locked up shot up does he have freedom

[00:01:59] Mom said wipe your tears keep readin'

[00:02:01] But daddy's somewhere spirit broken feelin' defeated

[00:02:04] A man feels he has to conquer all

[00:02:06] The world is his oyster his pearl so y'all know

[00:02:10] I can't find no reason why we can't all live in peace

[00:02:16] 'Cause this world keeps spinning yet still I wonder what's the reason

[00:02:25] I see people hating other people

[00:02:29] Tell me what's the reason

[00:02:32] When you're workin' hard but there ain't nothin' comin'

[00:02:38] What's the reason

[00:02:41] Oooh-whoa-ooh-whoa

[00:02:42] I know a girl her boyfriend was a fugitive

[00:02:43] She's intuitive be on some stupid sh*t

[00:02:46] She called the cops 'cause she hated his mother

[00:02:48] Now he away doin' numbers now she gay with her lover

[00:02:51] How many niggaz gon' die this summer

[00:02:54] I pump life in my music but still life is a wonder

[00:02:56] There's a officer in a squad car he's a prostitute serial killer

[00:03:00] It's odd huh 'Cause he's the same cop in church with his wife

[00:03:04] He's molestin' his son and she ignores it at night

[00:03:07] Little bad a** bastard lights a match and kills Betty Shabazz

[00:03:10] In her pad while she slept

[00:03:12] They said Prescott Bush funded Hitler while the world's in a twister

[00:03:16] Ni**a what you expect Imagine what's next

[00:03:21] I see people hating other people

[00:03:23] Tell me what's the reason

[00:03:27] That your kid is hungry you ain't got no money

[00:03:33] What's the reason

[00:03:36] For these wars we're fighting with each other

[00:03:39] Season after season

[00:03:42] When you're workin' hard but there ain't nothing comin'

[00:03:47] What's the reason

[00:03:51] "Uh uh man man'll search the whole planet looking for what

[00:03:57] Try to conquer all So what To all my niggaz with they
