Why Am I So Happy?
(专辑: Why Am I So Happy? - 2015)
[Verse 1
Spose:] You should see these Nike SB's that I
copped online I
turned the
AC on then I
wrote a
hot rhyme The
girl who made my sneakers sobbing all the
time Indonesian sweatshop making pennies and she's nine I
took a
clean towel out the
closet Showered half an hour took a
sip up out the
faucet A
mother in Nigeria, I
wouldn't wanna be ya No clean water, so her daughter died of diarrhea I
typed a
post about my government, was critical And they didn't arrest me even though it sounded liberal In Russia, punishment for that isn't reciprocal You question 'bout the
man, then your lifespan's minimal When I
was six, my biggest worry if I
can reminisce Was that I'd have a
Super Nintendo but not a
Genesis Six year old in Rwanda blood what he's wearing They cut his arm off when he wouldn't kill his parents I
made babies out of wedlock I
read Ladybug Girl then get stoned in the
basement by the
bedrock She defied arranged marriage, her betrayed parents Stoned her to death on the
terrace with the
cleric I
took a
bite of pizza told them, “Give the
chef my accolades” I
eat a
couple slices then I
threw the
other half away A
child stomach squealing, begging, he ain't eat in days He collapsed with a
thud, sounded like a
808 I
don't go to church or the
mosque, or the
synagogue If there is a
God, he isn't in my thoughts A
Kurd didn't fit their definition of religion Got beheaded in front of his children who lay in prison I
saw a
tweet a
girl wrote It said, “I hate school, I'd rather skip it, party, take body shots, and break rules” School girl got her body shot by the
Taliban Women die to be educated out in Pakistan [Hook Renee Coolbrith:] If I
know how it's going down Why am I
so happy now? I
don't know [Verse 2
Spose:] I
just filmed a
video with Bosch He just bought a
drone, flew over a
soccer game, we looked at it, looked fucking dope Iraqi kids playing soccer live a
humble home life Mom screams as they got killed by a
drone strike Although neither represent my section I
voted the
lesser of two evils in the
last election Some countries only got one candidate Question them and you can pick which limb they're gonna amputate I
got police protecting my township Dial up the
number, Crown Vic, come around quick In Mexico, cops crooked east of Buena Vista Juan had to join the
cartel just to protect his sister I
love my daughter and the
smile on her face I
told her she gotta be thirty-five before she start to date Syrian girls abducted by the
caliphate They're fourteen, sold as sex slaves in the
Islamic state I
feel so alive bumping dead rappers Life could be like lice, it's a
head scratcher “Why am I
so happy?”, I
don't gotta answer that “Why are you so miserable?” Is the
question that I
need to ask [Hook Renee Coolbrith:] If I
know how it's going down Why am I
so happy now? I
don't know
