why is Jadakiss as hard as it gets?
Why is the industry designed
to keep the artist in debt?
riding if they part of your set?
And why they never get it popping
Yea, and why they gonna give
Turn around only give you eight months
for a burner? It's going down
And if it's all love, daddy,
why you come with your 9?
Why my niggas ain't get that cake?
Why is a brother up north
That ain't get that break?
instead of trying to be fly?
Why is ratting at an all time high?

Why, at the bar, you ain't take straight
shots instead of poppin Cris?

Why do niggas push pounds
Why did Bush knock down the towers?
Why you around them cowards?

Why did crack have to hit so hard?
Even though it's almost over
Why niggas can't get no jobs?

Why all the young niggas is dying?
Cause they moms at work, they pops is gone,
Why they ain't give us a cure for AIDS?
