Mia X - I Don't Know Why (feat. Mo B. Dick) Lyrics
[Mia X & Mo B. Dick]Ooh, ooh, ooh, hey yeah, ahh noSo much yeah, ooh[Mia X singing]There's so much trouble in my lifeSometimes it gets so bad I just breakdown and cryI got my rent to pay and it's overdueDon't wanna sale my body just to make it throughYou see I can't depend upon no manTo be responsible or even understandIt's just the way it is at this point and timeSometimes it gets so scared unless it blows my mindMe and my homegirls, we got a planEvery night at seven we'll take things in our own handsNow we can play around, let's make some endsI got my hustle on cause money's my best friend[Mia X rapping; Verse 1]I wanna be stress free, rest easy at nightBut there's so much drama goin' on in my lifeThese days, nights missed get you labeled naiveAnd commons get taking for stupiditySo I keep my guard up in this macho worldCause everybody's running game on mama's little girlWe getting babies from shady, wanna-be playasWho wanna lay us, stick ya, hit ya, forget ya while we stay upCrying till our eyes are swollenSingle mothers got the weight of the world on they shouldersWant em' to hold us and tell us it's gon' be alrightEven the hardest sister needs a good man in her lifeI paid the price and my life is still in a damperAfter times of dirty dancing, get the babies pampersAnd don't talk about the welfare and how they knock usKnowing that chunp change can't provide nothing properWhile the doctors give us new-age birth controlThey make the swollen to skinnyBleeding constantly or missing monthly, scrapping penniesWhile my kid's daddy slinging those Z'sBut ain't doing shit for neither one of theseShould I ease up, grab a case, and set it off like JadaBreak with the paper, get in a comfort zone from pullin' capersMakes us wanna holler, scream, and shout and sayOh father, why I got live this way[Chorus: Mo B. Dick & (Mia X)]I don't know why I live this way (I don't know why I live this way)I don't know why I live this way (Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah)I don't know why I live this way (I don't know why I live this way)I don't know why I live this way (Don't know why, I live this way)[Verse 2]All my sisters keep ya head up, we ain't giving up without a fightThere's been a struggle but pretty soon we gonna bubbleThough trouble be knocking on my door like every 24-7Heaven knows that I like to keep the bills in check andLetting my kids down on they birthdayGnaws at my heart and tears me apartCan't let it go like thisRacing through the malls at Christmas time, BabylonGot my mind on trip, December 25th ain't gotta bitTo do with Christ or his birthGreedy devils give us pagan, hollerAnd profit off us give praise for better daysBetter be ahead of what I saidThird, I can see I can destroy the mental chains on our enslaved brainsCocaine, be the aim, be the means of profitBut logically it tells me I'm going to jail and getting killedOh well, I gotta do what I gottaUntil a new day when I don't have to ask why I live this way[Chorus] to fade
