Reason (Explicit Album Version)
I see people hating other people
Tell me what's the reason
That your kid is hungry you ain't got no money
What's the reason
By the time of age nine I'm already decidin'
If I can protect mommy from the hood by fightin'
Or usin' a knife or a gun when I'm twenty-one
By by then them hoods woulda pushed their way in our apartment
And we die then so I been a young nervous wreck in the projects
Watchin' them older ****** pass pot and they high man
I'm just a young boy snot nose hair nappy
Cops ride by squeezin' their trigger fingers at me
So I would go to school and try to get good grades
Teacher wrote mommy and kicked me outta school for havin' braids
So she cussed them said "My son ain't no ************' hoodlum"
They judged us thinking that we dumb 'cause where we come from
Got a little older and now I see
Young ****** wanted by the powers that be (powers that be)
I see people hating other people
Tell me what's the reason
That your kid is hungry you ain't got no money
What's the reason
For these wars we're fighting with each other
Season after season
When you're workin' hard but there ain't nothing comin'
What's the reason
Uh picture a Black nanny and a baby in a basket pushin' down 5th Ave
She never had it it's not hers to begin with
She gives it breakfast baths and dinners
Treats it so tender while her own kids live alone at home with no phone on
Ain't had a good meal in so long but so long as mommy's a maid
Cookin' and cleanin' she wanna feed her kids and her kids are dreamin'
Where's my daddy who's my daddy have you seen him
I could imagine them askin' what type of human be-ing
Could leave his family go back to the Carribean
Was he locked up shot up does he have freedom
Mom said wipe your tears keep readin'
But daddy's somewhere spirit broken feelin' defeated
A man feels he has to conquer all
The world is his oyster his pearl so y'all know
I can't find no reason why we can't all live in peace
'Cause this world keeps spinning yet still I wonder what's the reason
I see people hating other people
Tell me what's the reason
When you're workin' hard but there ain't nothin' comin'
What's the reason
Oooh-whoa-ooh-whoa
I know a girl her boyfriend was a fugitive
She's intuitive be on some stupid ****
She called the cops 'cause she hated his mother
Now he away doin' numbers now she gay with her lover
How many ****** gon' die this summer
I pump life in my music but still life is a wonder
There's a officer in a squad car he's a ********** serial killer
It's odd huh 'Cause he's the same cop in church with his wife
He's molestin' his son and she ignores it at night
Little bad ass bastard lights a match and kills Betty Shabazz
In her pad while she slept
They said Prescott Bush funded ****** while the world's in a twister
***** what you expect Imagine what's next
I see people hating other people
Tell me what's the reason
That your kid is hungry you ain't got no money
What's the reason
For these wars we're fighting with each other
Season after season
When you're workin' hard but there ain't nothing comin'
What's the reason
"Uh uh man man'll search the whole planet looking for what
Try to conquer all So what To all my ****** with they
Kids that love they kids man All the daddies out there
To all the ****** that died tryin'a figure out what's what
Tryin'a be the biggest of the big you know Yeah yeah
Ladies forgive us Gotta forgive us For we know not what
We do Breakin' hearts leavin' the crib buggin' out and
**** Just man man
