Lyrics to Me Why : [Mary J. Whyyyyyy, Whyyyyyy, [Chorus: Will Smith - while Mary in background] I really wish I explain it baby It's just the world is kinda baby Ain't no way to paint it baby cry, dry your eyes [Verse One: Smith] September 11th I woke up 7 AM West coast time, french toast and my turkey Takin my time awakin, my TV on To my surprise, saw what in the world saw Me and my children, were chillin My son said - were there people in that building? A sweat, frozen with a lump in my chest I heard his question, bring my lips to say yes to him That at my son's side, he cried And for the ones who died in the World Trade His palms to God, of qualms with God He just, on pressin me, wanna know why Then one later our bombs were dropped We seein them, on CNN, just won't stop The infrared, images of brutal He "Daddy now we killin 'em back," right right [Chorus] - 2X + (Mary J. Blige ad lib crooning) [Interlude: Mary J. Souls are (souls are captured) are stolen (dreams are stolen) Hearts are (hearts are broken) Evil he rewardin Hate (hate surrender) exaulted!
