Why? Lyrics by Big Syke

Big Syke Daddy

1996

[Intro]
Damn, the world's so crazy out here
Never know what's goin' on
Never know why things happen
But they do
Well, just take it

[Verse 1]
As my inner thoughts of reality set in, another day begins
'Cause you never know you were alseep until ya wake up
Will me and my ex-girl make up?
I don't know, but life's a question
After death, is there a resurrection?
'Cause the chaos and the mayhem got me crazy
When will I have my first baby?
But is there love there? Do I really care?
I swear, life ain't fair, so much pain and sorrow
Will I see tomorrow?
Make a path for my kids to follow
So it's me against the world
Can't nobody talk to me, I need psychotherapy
Forever I cry inside, I can't hide
Just tell me, why

[Chorus]
Why do we do the things that we do? (Just tell me, why?)
Why do we do the things that we do? (Tell me, why?)
Why do we do the things that we do? (Tell me, why?)
Why do we do the things that we do?

[Verse 2]
A little kid's refelection is a shadow of death
Just behind him are his first steps
But nobody cares, it's just everybody for theyself
So, pray to Yahweh if you need help
'Cause love don't love nobody alone
Can I stay strong? Can I move on?
But I gotta get used to my past being my future road
Seldom travelled, but never told
The world is crazy, my mind is paralyzed
And hypnotized by these walk-bys
Families cry from dead souls lost
I guess our future pays the cost, I wanna floss
But we drownin' in poverty
My homie said he was gonna get with me
But ain't got with me
It's so hard on a G tryna elevate in the game
And there's no way to escape the pain
Tell me, why

[Chorus]
Why do we do the things that we do? (Just tell me, why?)
Why do we do the things that we do? (Tell me, why?)
Why do we do the things that we do? (Tell me, why?)
Why do we do the things that we do?

[Verse 3]
So many trials and tribulations
We livin' in desperation
Everyone's givin' up, there's no motivation
Organization or self determination
The youth is fallin' and callin' the OGs
Hand up some Ki's or get degrees, Lord, please
I can't take it, the world is comin' to an end
So God forgive me for my sin
'Cause I ain't never had a thang, will it change?
So I can rearrange
The game of life is the hardest game yet
'Cause nobody knows what's comin' up next
No respect for our elders 'cause they fightin' us scared
What happened to the love we once shared? Noone cares
So I soak my pains in Remy Martin, and gettin' high
I know that's not the answer
So I ask, why?

[Chorus]
Why do we do the things that we do? (Just tell me, why?)
Why do we do the things that we do? (Tell me, why?)
Why do we do the things that we do? (Tell me, why?)
Why do we do the things that we do?

[Outro]
[Kid 1] Syke why everybody die?
[Kid 2] Why the world so crazy?
[Kid 3] Why everybody go to jail?
[Kid 4] Why little kids get kidnapped?

[Chorus]
Why do we do the things that we do? (Just tell me, why?)
Why do we do the things that we do? (Tell me, why?)
Why do we do the things that we do? (Tell me, why?)
Why do we do the things that we do?
