Tell Me Why

Put your lighters up...

They will fight till extinction

And using the nations as weapons

Again...

Tell me why...

I've been gone for a while but don't watch that

'Cause now I'm back ready to show all these whack rappers how to rap

Type my name on youtube and watch that, get the picture. Yep

I'm the biggest threat to your little rep on the internet

Forget Channel U don't watch that, no one spits facts

And since wifey riddem everybody's making chit chats

But when my vid drops and you watch that, you'll be seeing why

There's a big difference between me and the meaty guys

MTV cribs I don't watch that, the greed sickens me

I guess I just look at the world and see it differently

Kids starving to death and when I watch that, I cry inside

How can rappers live in yards that typa size

Kids film happy slaps and they watch that, then text their friends

Generations of degenerates, will it never end?

The Twin Towers fell and we watched that

It was control demolition, there was no terrorism; it's not that

They will fight till extinction

And using the nations as weapons

Again...

Tell me why...

Youths get the Scarface movie and watch that, live that violent dream

They shoulda watched more carefully in the final scene

Forget Big Brother don't watch that, even if the other TV's shit

You can't spend your life watching other people live

Turn off Fox News, don't watch that - read a book

Glance back at history 'cause we need to look

They film us on CCTV and watch that, are we catalogue humans?

Oyster cards stay tracking our movements

Forget Myspace don't watch that, I ain't feeding Murdock

Or looking at girls posing with their skirts off

Forget profile hits, don't watch that, I know people can tell

Those numbers don't equal yourselves

Forget Borat, don't watch that, it ain't funny fam

And that's start of something bigger than you understand

And there's talk on the road but don't watch that, 'cause I'm well known

And wherever I go my name rings like a cellphone

They will fight till extinction

And using the nations as weapons

Again...

Tell me why...
