Geto Boys - Why Do We Live This Way Lyrics
[ verse 1: grand wizard dj ready red ]Can you take it? how can I be strongWhen I see many things in the world is wrong?You know the love in the hearts is a thing of the pastAnd living like this, how long can we last?Some are content to the way things areWell, not me, you know the road is farTake off your blindfolds and start to see clearTimes windin down, and the end is nearMe speaking fact not fiction, pay attentionOur world is in a critical conditionUnderstand prejudice is rumor and liesAnd over this evil many people have diedYou know what bloods been shed over he-said she-saidI dont let lies fill my headBut you say its like that and the way it isWell, thats my point, theres no love to giveI say[ chorus ]WhyWhy do we live this way?You know the killin and fightinWhyWhy do we live this way?You know the love is goneWhyWhy do we live this way?Weak you have to be strongWhyWhy do we live this way?[ verse 2: grand wizard dj ready red ]A family of five tryin to surviveThey had 30 days till the welfare arrivedFather was gone and nowhere in sightAnd to the little kids it just wasnt rightYou know the mother was wise to hide the criesTaught the kids well bout livin in hellTook on the problems from day to dayAnd then at night to the lord she prayedYou know Im livin in a world that doesnt even careToo many damn problems for me to bareShould I be strong or should I be weak?Or just ride the problems, go from week to weekYou know I read in the papers just the other dayAbout a lady who was killed, it went this waySay little mrs. brown who never did a thingWas shot and killed over a wedding ringYeah, it really was a shame, but whos to blame?Cause its just another story that the worlds insaneYoure sayin its like that and the way it isBut thats my point, theres no love to give[ chorus ]Break it down(children grow and women produceAnd men go work, and some go stealinEveryones got to make a livin)[ chorus ](why)
