Whyyyyyy, Whyyyyyy, [Chorus: Smith - while Mary repeats in background] I really wish I could explain it It's just the is kinda crazy baby Ain't no pretty way to it baby Don't cry, dry eyes [Verse One: Smith] 11th I woke up about 7 AM West coast time, french toast and my turkey Takin my time awakin, my TV on To my surprise, saw what everybody in the saw Me and my children, images were My son said - daddy there people in that building? A cold sweat, frozen with a lump in my I heard his question, bring my lips to say yes to him That night at my son's side, he And prayed for the ones who died in the World His palms to God, of qualms with God He just, kept on me, wanna know why Then one week our bombs were dropped We seein them, on CNN, they just won't The infrared, images of brutal He said "Daddy now we 'em back," right right - repeat 2X + (Mary J.

(Love exaulted!) ELATED! (HOPE ELATED!) Negativity AND.. Two: Will Smith] Honest to God, why is the bomb always the last word and why, did her have to molest her and why, did all cops have to be shootin to kill? And why, did all them priests have to act so Tell me why did Byrd Jr. have to be touched? Tell my why did and Martin depart from us Tell me why did the sniper make that boy shoot And why, is life always denied for loot? Tell me WHY did have to live in a cage Why did my Sterling have to die at that age Tell me why did Reginald Denny his fate And why the {*BLEEP*} can't love, seem to defeat me why is it so hard for all the children to eat? Why did 'Pac and Smalls have to fall in the street? Tell me why did Jam Master Jay to go that way? Please, what am I supposed to say my kids they say [Chorus] - 2X as before [Verse Three: Will Can't it baby life is just really crazy I mean if it's world wars or the life of a little We got more stores than they got rice under lazy You live four scores and still it be you crazy But for me I try to see the side Sometimes it be like the goodness be tryin to or tryin to flee, but it can't, it's deep Sweetie you be the light for others, make 'em in God
