[00:00:01] Tell Me Why - Mary J. BligeandWill Smith

[00:00:12] why, why, why, why, why. why

[00:00:25] i really wish i could explain it baby (why)

[00:00:28] it's just the world is kinda crazy baby (why)

[00:00:31] ain't no pretty way to paint it baby (why),

[00:00:34] don't cry, dry your eyes

[00:00:36] september 11th, i woke up about 7am,

[00:00:39] west coast time, french toast and my

[00:00:41] turkey bacon, taking my time, awakin', turning my tv on

[00:00:45] to my surprise, saw what everybody in the world saw

[00:00:48] me and my children, images were chillin'

[00:00:50] my son said, "daddy were there people in that building?"

[00:00:54] a cold sweat, frozen with a lump in my chest

[00:00:57] i heard his question, couldn't bring my lips to say "yes" to him

[00:01:01] that night at my son's side, he cried and prayed

[00:01:04] for the one's who died in the world trade

[00:01:06] his palms to god, seeds and qualms with god

[00:01:09] he just kept on pressin' me, wanna know why

[00:01:12] then one week later our bombs were dropped

[00:01:15] we seein' them on cnn, they just won't stop

[00:01:18] the infrared images of brutal attack

[00:01:20] he said, "daddy now we killin' em back"; (right, right)

[00:01:26] i really wish i could explain it baby (why)

[00:01:29] it's just the world is kinda crazy baby (why)

[00:01:32] ain't no pretty way to paint it baby (why)

[00:01:35] don't cry, dry your eyes

[00:01:38] i really wish i could explain it baby (why)

[00:01:41] it's just the world is kinda crazy baby (why)

[00:01:44] ain't no pretty way to paint it baby (why)

[00:01:47] don't cry, dry your eyes

[00:01:48] mmmmm, souls are captured

[00:01:51] dreams are stolen

[00:01:54] hearts are broken

[00:01:57] evil blatantly rewarded

[00:02:00] hate surrenders,

[00:02:03] love exalted

[00:02:06] hope elated

[00:02:09] negativity is shorted

[00:02:13] eye is to die

[00:02:14] why is the bomb always getting the last word

[00:02:16] and why did her uncle have to molest her

[00:02:19] and why did all them cops have to be shootin' to kill

[00:02:22] and why did all them priests have to act so ill

[00:02:25] tell me why did james byrd jr. have to be touched

[00:02:28] tell me why did malcolm and martin depart from us

[00:02:31] tell me why did that sniper make the little boy shoot

[00:02:34] and why does human life always denied for loot

[00:02:37] tell me why did mandela have to live in a cage

[00:02:40] why did my brother sterling have to die at that age

[00:02:43] tell me why did reginald denny deserve his fate

[00:02:46] and why the fk can't love seem to defeat hate

[00:02:49] tell me why is it so hard for all the children to eat

[00:02:52] why did pac and biggie smalls have to fall in the street

[00:02:55] tell me why did jam master jay have to go that way

[00:02:58] please what am i supposed to say to my kids when they say 'why?'

[00:03:03] i really wish i could explain it baby (why),

[00:03:06] it's just the world is kinda crazy baby (why),

[00:03:09] ain't no pretty way to paint it baby (why)

[00:03:12] don't cry, dry your eyes

[00:03:15] i really wish i could explain it baby (why)

[00:03:18] it's just the world is kinda crazy baby (why)

[00:03:21] ain't no pretty way to paint it baby (why)

[00:03:27] can't explain it baby, life is just really crazy

[00:03:29] i mean if it's world wars or the life of a little baby

[00:03:32] we got more stores than they got rice under buddha lazy

[00:03:35] you live four scores and still it be driving you crazy

[00:03:39] but for me i try to see the bright side

[00:03:41] sometimes it'd be like the goodness be tryin' to hide

[00:03:44] then try to flee, but it can't it's deep inside

[00:03:47] sweetie, you be the light for the others, make 'em believe in god

[00:03:50] mmmmm, souls are captured

[00:03:53] dreams are stolen

[00:03:59] evil blatantly rewarded

[00:04:02] hate surrenders

[00:04:05] love exalted

[00:04:08] hope elated

[00:04:11] negativity is shorted
