Ask Me Why Lyrics by Torae

Admission Of Guilt

2017

Chorus

I did it for the passion
I did it for the love
I did it cuz you mother fuckers couldn't get enough
I did it for the fortune
I did it for the fame
I did it cuz for the score so you all would know my name…they asking why I did it x 4

They asking why I did it
Shit I don't deserve to live it
Told you until I got it Bun I'm out here tryna get it
They heard but didn't listen
So my missions to restate it
Cuz tryna make a difference
Is indifferent til you made it
The haters prone to hate it, but they still stuck in the basement
And stuck on that basic cuz complacent is they placement
My wordplay still amazing
As its ever been read the rules or you'll never win
Casting stones like you never sinned
Crucify Da young veteran
But you never been in the shoes I walk
Got the shine from the jewels I taught
Lis/ten/ers learn the fools gone talk
Conversation of who on top
And who shit dropped & flopped but ain't copped
And who they feel is ill in hip hop
So how shit sell as well that ain't hot
And who excel in sales it ain't stop
If a real nigga in then a real nigga win
That's how the real revolution begin
Rode til the wheels on the whip didn't spin
Now we a see who gone ride til the end
Tried to defend what they what tried to deny
Heard the reply that the numbers didn't lie
Firm on the the curb where I chose to reside
In case you was wondering why
