Tell Me Why Lyrics by Jordan (UK)

Crooks & Queens

2022

[Chorus] (Maverick Sabre)
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Said I don't know if I can get high
Trying to run away from this fight, say...
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Said I don't know if I can get by
Bring tomorrow, make my soul cry
Tell me why, why..

[Verse 1] (Jordan)
Rah!
Tell me why, tell me why
Look into my eyes brother, I ain't telling lies
The revolution won't be televised
But they'll show us on the news, when we're banging nines
Frontline, like them little kids in Palestine
Fuck the Government, all they chat is a bag of lies (bullshit)
I risked my life every other night
I live a gutter life, I put it on my Mother's life
Self defence, first time that I cut a guy
For everyone that's woke, throw up your peace signs
These are peak times, and these are real rhymes
It's too late at twenty-eight, you can't rewind
Life's fucked by the time you fucking realise
You're on the street, grind beef over b lines
Seen a kid get stabbed for a three-five
Tell me why, tell me why I hate this street life

[Chorus] (Maverick Sabre)
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Said I don't know if I can get high
Trying to run away from this fight, say...
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Said I don't know if I can get by
Bring tomorrow, make my soul cry
Tell me why, why..

[Verse 2] (Jordan)
Tell me why - rah!
Radio won't play this (they won't)
Tell me why they won't put me on the playlist (tell me)
Tell me why I'm so loyal to these traitors
Tell me why I got, all these fucking haters
How do dealers get longer than a rapist?
Why do people from estates never make it?
Why am I so fucking filled up with hatred?
Why do I hate being famous?
Why's my life been wasted?
Shithole cages, up and down pacing (raging)
Governor's debating, McCann's too wild
They won't take him
McCann is what they made him
System it hates him, system it raised him
Why do evil women, got pretty faces?
Why did I grow up with my house being raided?
Five-0, bailiffs, guns and tasers

[Chorus] (Maverick Sabre)
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Said I don't know if I can get high
Trying to run away from this fight, say...
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Said I don't know if I can get by
Bring tomorrow, make my soul cry
Tell me why, why..
