Artist: Shadow Government f/ L.I.S. Album: Innocent Till Proven Guilty Song: Why Typed by: Tha Masta [Fes Taylor] Aiyo, why these niggaz is fronting like they top choice? Start aiming, my lyrics is flaming like shots when the glock point Why must I burn another rapper? You could learn from the master Smoke germ, got me choking, fucking with my asthma We move like vampires, night time, sucking plasma Believe in God, but the church dirty, why must I trust the pastor? Why do I live in Hell? My do I mix anthrax and gunpowder? Son, to put 'em in shells I'm trying to kill 'em dead, why you squealing to the feds? Like we won't lay low, son, and put a million on ya head Why real niggaz die over bullshit? While fake niggaz walk around around fronting, son, and won't pull shit He ain't talking 'bout guns, he talking 'bout twenty-two ounces And Colt 45 beers, probably won't live for forty-five years Profes, I bang in the streets, while all this is raw footage Die from cigarettes? I'm more likely, son, to fall from bullets [Chorus: L.I.S.] Why, why must I... Live this life that I live, pay this price that I give If this life that I live is as trife as it is Tell me why? Why must I... Live this life that I live, pay this price that I give If this life that I live is as trife as it is Tell me why? Why must I... [Specman] Yo, another day, waking up, wishing I was dead Cuz this C.O. banging on my lock, they telling me to make the bed I don't wanna get up no more Only got two in, they bang me two more, my next parole board My little girl is calling me out Sadie said, "Daddy stand strong, you could do it, I got no doubt" Make my throat dry, my eyes moist Block on the phone, I swear to God, I'd kill someone just to hear her voice When I'm alone in my cell, I zone I think of when I come home Will I put the pieces back? I want zone I hope I can, yo, I've tried to be a better man O.G. veteran, still need cheddar, man So I lay back with the Gov, and we gon' get it, man And my girls eyes gleam, she know that this is second, and It's wrapped up, Fantom beats got me backed up While you could still get smacked up, fuck it, or clapped, what?
