Why Oh Why

(álbum: I Want It All - 1999)

This nigga to give it all to me with the cut
Get the door
Yo what's up? What you need?
Hmm? Yeah
I'm out

Hop in the '6-3 Chevy, counting boutin the heat
Scapin through the streets with my niggas bumping hellafied beats
See us, niggas play for keeps, kill the strong and the weak
From the Eastside of Long Beach, that's 2-1 Street
See we, live and die by the gun and the knife
And I, high as a kite, corralling through the night
Ha-ha, stacking hundreds, we kept the drugs and hoes coming (Come on)
Young gunning, tortured, no need to be punished (Yeah)
All we have of the system is big cabbage
Lifestyles is lavish, living my life from Dallas
It was a challenge, living my life like a savage
To have or to not to have it or nobody can have it
Untouchable, indestructible
Get in my way and we're dusting you
As a kid this the type of shit that we dreamed of
Money, cars, bitches and drugs
I prevail, the crack sales then got in jail
Couldn't post bail now my home is living in a cell
Thirty years with no parole as I grow old
You won't see me on the streets 'til I'm 60-years old

Why oh why, why oh why, why oh why
It's only for the money
Do we live in dangerous lives?
It's only for the money
It's just the gangsta life we live
Why oh why, why oh why, why oh why
It's only for the money
Do we live in dangerous lives?
It's only for the money
It's just the gangsta life we live

It's the A-Team, operation regime
Money and dreams got me hooked with schemes
From the Time Square walk to America's best
Long Beach is the spot, got a lot of respect
'Cause I'm a vet, regulate and never hesitate
I stay hungry so fill my plate
I'm just a young black nigga trying to flip an end
Five year probation, nigga fuck the pen
What up, Uncle Kev doing eight upstate
I heard you're benching ten plates, knocking out inmates
It's just a way of life, nigga shooting the dice
Now you hit all craps, now you paying the price
Living the thuggish life

Why oh why, why oh why, why oh why
It's only for the money
Do we live in dangerous lives?
It's only for the money
It's just the gangsta life we live
Why oh why, why oh why, why oh why
It's only for the money
Do we live in dangerous lives?
It's only for the money
It's just the gangsta life we live, we live, we live

G, Dove, we, mob
Killing all y'all, that is our job
And if you thought it was The Gang then you hit it on the knob
Slide and flip like cocoa bricks, taking your 6
And leaving it on the side of the freeway on bricks
Schitzomanic, automatic, schizophrenic, six
It's just a psychosomatic, original
Dogg Pound criminal, ya ever heard of me?
Kurupt, Young Gotti, motherfucker D-P
Why is life fucked up? Toe-up
Scraping from the floor up to the ceiling, the fo's bust
For my children to grow
We live to let go, nigga

Why oh why, why oh why, why oh why
It's only for the money
Do we live in dangerous lives?
It's only for the money
It's just the gangsta life we live
Why oh why, why oh why, why oh why
It's only for the money
Do we live in dangerous lives?
It's only for the money
It's just the gangsta life we live

Why oh why, why oh why, why oh why
It's only for the money
Do we live in dangerous lives?
It's only for the money
It's just the gangsta life we live
Why oh why, why oh why, why oh why
It's only for the money
Do we live in dangerous lives?
It's only for the money
It's just the gangsta life we live, we live, we live
