Intro: If only I knew….if only I knew why….that’s all I wanna know….I just wanna know why….I just wish someone could explain this to me….can you?

Verse 1: I need an explanation to all this pain that I feel, tryin to figure it out on my own cuz this sh*** is real, and I ain’t gonna try to steal anything that’ll appeal, to the senses in my brain is where I wear my seal, my heart is slowly getting torn apart, and I have yet to get to the hardest parts in the dark, is where I my thoughts collect, and I start to lose respect, for those who aren’t direct, with me they try to test, me but they can’t get passed the surface, they think that when they talk to me that it makes me nervous, what’s wrong with me, why can’t I seem to be everything I want to be, so I’m calling this my plea, can someone explain this to me?

Chorus 2x: I wish I could tell you what’s going on, cuz this pain that I feel has lasted too long, I’d gladly give this all up just to go back in time, change the way things happened just by pressing rewind

Verse 2: Can you explain why kids take their own life, or why men do the same when they have kids and a wife, can you explain why terrorists enter our soil, just to kill themselves and a few of us to prove they are loyal, can you explain why people take others for granted, or why when the drugs came to you you couldn’t have passed it, can you explain why it’s so hard to know who are my true friends, or why John, Corey, and Chris’s lives had to see the end, can you explain why all the greatest rappers seem to die, or why celebrities always seem able to escape the lies, can you explain why people call me ghetto because I rap, or why’s it seem to always be teens that die when the cars crash, can you explain why there are little kids dying of hunger, when in the U.S. our big problem is obese motha f***as, and can you explain why my mind is racing every minute of the day, wish that I could have it made, we all got a price to pay

Chorus 2x

Verse 3: (singing) So what can I do to change this fate, is there any possible way to escape, should I even bother worrying and getting upset, knowing that I can’t go on until my needs are met, but what can you do other than wait, and hope to god that you aren’t his bait, cuz eventually you will hit a wall, where every feeling you’ve had will seem to fall

(rapping) I just wish god would send me a sign let me what’s going on, cuz I don’t wanna be waiting around here for too long, feels good to let this all out express how I feel, pray every night to God hoping that my heart will heal, so I gotta get through it if I’m gonna pursue it, this rap sh*** takes time but I know I can do it, and I consider it unique how I can feel others pain, I just hope my life is takin the right lane

Chorus 4x
