Lyrics

1st VERSE

I use ta wonder why I never got ta say goodbye.Use ta wonder where u went when they closed ya eyes. I use ta wonder (why my )patna had ta die.Thats why I wrote this rhyme ta let ya know, ya on my mind.I use wonder why, then I realized, I'm a see you on the otherside,baskin in the sunshine.(PAUSE)Until we meet again I'm a keep ya memory alive.I wonder (why.God needed) you back in the sky. God show me a sign.I use wonder (why. if I could) I would hit rewind N go back in time. it's unclear, but even though I can't see you, I still feel like ya here. I take a look in da mirror N I reminise. I know We all gotta go but, it doesn't make sense. I 'll never forget the way we hit da (strip.)Now I'm starin at ya tomstone prayin N ballin my fist.
CHORUS

Somebody gimme a sgn to show me I ca make it through. Cuz it ain't easy. N everyday I feel like I'm wastin my time. Then, I think about what I've been through. N I know that I ca make it, if I try but, I'll always wonder why.

2nd VERSE

I use ta wonder why I rode da bus. I couldn't wait til I was old enough ta be rollin plush. Growin up in da town, ya had keep ya head on a swivel. Cuz,It's a lotta cats on da prowl,Somehow, I made it through all da drama. I'm tryin ta keep it cool wit my baby mama, I gotta see my son N my daughter. Hope I don't get caught up in a twist. Wit these counterfit 20's in my grip, I'm at risk. I use ta wonder why my hard work never paid off. I got injured on da job then I got laid off. N you wonder why us brothas doin crime.Were willin ta do whatever it takes ta survive. Would you sell your soul for material things. Ya lady's upset ya can't buy her a ring.So, ya come up wit a scheme. At da ATM. But, they got you on camera so, its back to da pen.

CHORUS

Somebody gimme a sgn to show me I ca make it through. Cuz it ain't easy. N everyday I feel like I'm wastin my time. Then, I think about what I've been through. N I know that I ca make it, if I try but, I'll always wonder why.

3rd VERSE

I use ta wonder why we had (no cash). Use ta wonder bout Dad, use ta wonder why Mamas so sad. Use ta wonder why-somebody didn't grab me. I Use ta wonder why my parents even had (me. Use) ta wonder why people criticize. Even though I (tried, Its impossible ta) fall (asleep, I hear) my stomach caaallin (me, N I) know we gotta eat.I use ta wonder why, we moved three times in one week, N why don't speak. I had a fight everyday for a month. I won some I lost some but, I wasn't a punk.I got a chip on my shoulder. Feelin older N bolder. The other day I put a kid ina coma. I use ta wonder why I didn't) finish school.Use ta wonder why the (teachers wanna treat me) like a (fool. I refuse) ta wonder why ya never took time ta walk in my shoes. But, its cool, These days I'm givin interviews by the pool.

CHORUS

Somebody gimme a sgn to show me I ca make it through. Cuz it ain't easy. N everyday I feel like I'm wastin my time. Then, I think about what I've been through. N I know that I ca make it, if I try but, I'll always wonder why.
