[Intro: Twista]
Yeah
And the question is why
Prozzak, Saganow what up
Tech N9ne, Kansas City what up
Twista, Chi-Town what up
And we do it like this

[Verse 1: Prozzak]
How can somebody explain to me
Why we been followed by evil for so many centuries
Locked in prison the world is a penitentiry
Such a catastrophe and it follows our destiny
But crack head mothers and fathers are beating their children
Suicide bombers are crashing our planes into buildings
While H.I.V. is spreadin and killin off millions
And down in New Orleans there's several a bandend civilians
There spillin the bood of other people for barrels of oil
The bodies are burning and scattered all over the soil
Feeling the tension as tempers and temperatures boil
Strikin the soul is a serpent that rattles and coils
God, tell me what has now become of us
Shame on us for becoming a race so dangerous
And even with hate in us
You never did stray from us
Instead of forsaken us
You have forgaven us
Why?

[Chorus:]
Why?
Why does the devil be callin' my name
Why?
Testin' my faith with his devilish games
Why?
Feeling insane as I was in the brain
Why oh Why?
Followed by darkness you fear them then blow
Why?
Circle above me you see the black crows

Why?
Father forgive me you reep what you sow
Why oh Why?

[Verse 2: Tech N9ne]
Do we get off on the fact that our governments fuckin' Iraq from the back
And we know that they hid this from us and our family?
Why do we gamble with givers of grief
And I'm wondering why do we live in the dark and my life's not fa la la la la la
Momma be askin' me, do you believe in this
Bitches be askin' me, don't you wanna peep in this
Niggas be askin' me, do you put pussy on a pedestal
Pimpin' you probly should put money first cause you weak in this
Why's this shit draggin'
Why does everybody know to operate a fully automatic
And nobody with the lovein' of one another but it's givin us a little bit of light up in the hell of it
Everybody livin in polygomy you givin me but ain't nobody celibate
So the question we askin' is Why?
Are we the wickedness when is the trip of the sickest the fly
Look at the blood and the tears and the piss and the shit in yo eye
God will be back any day any second so wait for the day that He's free and we die

[Chorus:]
Why?
Why does the devil be callin' my name
Why?
Testin' my faith with his devilish games
Why?
Feeling insane as I was in the brain
Why oh Why?
Followed by darkness you fear them then blow
Why?
Circle above me you see the black crows
Why?
Father forgive me you reep what you sow
Why oh Why?

[Verse 3: Twista]
Could you tell me why would he ever show mercy these days
Why?
Just look at the world we be cursin the earth with these plagues
Why?
Somtimes I feel evil as if it's the birth of the worst
And the Earth needs emergency sergury all of this hurt can be raised.
How?
Turn us into demons that's that's screamin I'm dreamin that even the devil was special before he got fallin from grace
Why do we murder
But God Won't abandon his beautiful and children even though his babys will bust a 380 all in your face
Why do we kill
Gotta hit him in the body with a bullet will you pull it but he never look a brother see you'll love us even if he didn't feel us to the fullest
Please tell me Why?
How you love us even though we gotta hurt eachother even our brother or the mother I don't feel it on the realest you can put it any way you wanna put it
Why?
Even through the terror on the planet you can still find love
Why?
Even through the torture and the murder you can still find love
Well if you try to be a rapper on a level of the devil we get buried with the shovel and be cast outta heaven so in hell we can still wind up

[Chorus:]
Why?
Why does the devil be callin' my name
Why?
Testin' my faith with his devilish games
Why?
Feeling insane as I was in the brain
Why oh Why?
Followed by darkness you fear them then blow
Why?
Circle above me you see the black crows
Why?
Father forgive me you reep what you sow
Why oh Why?

[Outro:]
