Verse one
Why is it more that things change the more they stay the same
why do old people drive slow in the fast lane
why is it when I grab the mic you stare at me strange
why’s every time I eat I get my shirt stained (dang!)
wassup Tremaine what your name's Wayne
dang man why can't I just remember people's names
all that the same there's a question in my mind
why do I have to wait in line just to wait in another line
and when I think I'm done I gots to do it one more time
why oh why am I always stuck behind
the lady who has writes a check in the express check out line
excuse me miss it's 10 items not 99
why do most rappers they just spit the same rhymes
why do girls go to the bathroom at the same time
why when something's wrong I just say I'm fine
but why ask why when I ask it all the time

Chorus:

Why's the grass green why's the sky blue
Why oh why do I do what I do
can you please tell me why that is cause I don't have a clue
now why is that? I was about to ask you
why am I me and why are you you?
why do we run in circles chasing after nothing new
somebody won’t you please tell me why because I haven’t got a clue
yo why is it my man? I was about to ask you

Verse 2 (Manchild) :
Why do the voices in my head get louder when I try to sleep
why can’t I seem to count all the leaping sheep
I’m knee deep in distribution retail paperwork and email
why can’t I afford a secretary to handle office detail
why are prices high water wet people cruel
why does every single record exec try to play me for the fool
why don’t bar stools have backs do they want the drunks to fall off
and why do we have to fill up all the precious silence with small talk
why do all walk with our heads down and walkman’s up to ten
are we afraid to let a stranger in every now and then
why do sucker emcees spit loud and claim to be the hardest
and then sit down to write their rhymes with a dictionary plus a thesaurus
why does the commerce strangle art instead of the other way around
I guess it’s hard to work the angles when the cipher’s always round
why do we drown our sorrow reach both hands out for tomorrow
when just living today is hard enough to swallow why?

Chorus:

Verse 2 (Manchild) :
Why do conceptual song structures cramp my style and hand alike
why do organized emcee battles make wack rappers grab the mic
why am I here, cause the instructional manual wasn’t clear
why does my transmission make that sound when I try to shift it’s gears
why is my stereo so loud do I want all neighbors to hear
am I my own street team member try to catapult my career
why does a dog bark bee sting bird sing
but first things first why do you burn my album with left hands on your
purse string
(KJ 52) :
Why do we disrespect each other instead of loving one another
why do we have to focus on the skin tone and color
why can't we see that we sisters and we brothers
and understand we all equal to God and plus he loves us
bust this Ima say this just again and again
Why oh why cant we all be friends
but there's one thing I just can't comprehend
why do they put Braille at a drive up ATM's
I guess that's for all the car driving blind men
why do we just hate God but really love to sin
really man shouldn't that be just the other way around
Why do I always have to laugh when somebody falls down
why do things get worse when they're already going wrong
why's customer service put me on hold for so long
why do you tell me to hold on when I'm already holding on
Why can't we all just all get along?

Chorus:


Verse 3:
Why does fast food take so long to get it
why do people fart in public and say someone else did it
why do you ask my opinion but get mad when I give it
and why ask for wisdom if you ignore the Holy Spirit
now check the lyrics cause this might apply to you
dude why's brushing your teeth just like so hard for you
now if your breath stank don't be saying "hi how are you"
if I give you a breath mint don't be like "no thank you"
get a clue now tell me why your clothes is fake too
why do you say it's FUBU when ya know it’s PUBU
and why do you say yes when you really mean no
why do you tell me stop when you really mean go
why's the bad choice the one choice I always chose
but in spite of how I acted why did God love me so
much that he would just pay the price of my soul
but I don't need to ask why I already know
