Tell me why
(Be like that, you just be like that)
Was super bad and what not
Be like that, you just be like that
That he modificated rearranged his behavior
Sometimes this world means everything to me
Always gotta be like that
But what you tryin' hooride up on the bandwagon
And they know this 'cause they can feel it
When they're sufferin'
I hate to be a pilot, crashin' in a flight
So I had to reveal it, through provin'
I'm readily, steadily stimulate and then mutilate
(Baby, tell me why it's gotta be like that)
Baby, tell me why it's gotta be like that
But bust this now when I'm out
Like he a hog creepin' through the smog
Tell me why
Thugs drain out my skin 'cause I'm pissed from within
People think I'm high but I'm mentally travelin'
Don't rock the boat if you can't swim
Always gotta be like that
Tell me why
Always gotta be like that
Hopin' they'd hit him in the head but he steady saggin'
Tell me why
I give you half of chiseled pencil
Niggas never listen, they gotta learn their lesson
But it was him who I should've never trusted
Baby, tell me why it's gotta be like that
Tell me why, it always gotta be like that
Two decades and a half making a path for mine to follow
When he was strolling on a Sunday after tennis
Started reminiscing about my little homie
Braggin' and boastin', boastin' and braggin'
Tell me why
(Baby, tell me why it's gotta be like that)
Be like that you just be like that
Holly off, seven of them drops from my eye
(Baby, tell me why it's gotta be like that)
Tell me why
They come into my face
Be like that you just be like that
(Be like that you just be like that)
Nobody may not be there with the limb to limb
Always gotta be like that
(Be like that, you just be like that)
(Baby, tell me why it's gotta be like that)
Be like that you just be like that
(Be like that you just be like that)
The hard way I'm guessin', guessin'
Always gotta be like that
(Baby, tell me why it's gotta be like that)
(Baby, tell me why it's gotta be like that)
What's the come up, cried a ton of tears, drunk a ton of beers
(Be like that, you just be like that)
I wasn't sleepin' I was creepin' slidin', hidin'
Always gotta be like that
Tell me why
Popped in my freestyle tapes
And not at least till he got his attitude adjusted
Over the snare with simply a stare
The world is hollow, yet it's full of crap, prepared to gamble
Tell me why
And all sloppily, copied imitations
While I'm straddlin' more's up this fuckin' mike
How we 'posed to be hangin' with Baby Gees, I was baggin'
Kept my ears open, eyes scoping, mouth locked
He knew that it was mine
That I am a star machine and fly
I send them tightmen home
Bringin' them turbulent terror
Or mouth busted for acting all dusted
Tell me why
From the double agent syndrome, why?
Know what, I said it
So what a relic way to end this, got rolled up
I jumped inside the jeep as I embark on my darkness
Who was raised in Wyoming wanted to be famous
So he came to Californey on the microphony
That's fun at first but learned in person fear throughout the years
Tell me why, it always gotta be like that
BD as I hit the B and make a right on Weston
Why the fuck shit gotta be like that?
Like most who come to this West Coast society
He hooked up quick with the influential slang
Pops in my head the proverbial question, why?
But he was the kinda fella to follow paths that was hot
I would like the girl behind me roll up a bad time thinkin'
Agin' in short times 'cause life's a unravelin'
And by just blinkin' my eye in a flash
I flush out the face, layin' low-key
People need to know about this thing called life
Be like that, you just be like that
(Be like that, you just be like that)
This is the end, still I can't explain the fact
Always gotta be like that
I see a situation now and all I do is grin
Baby, tell me why it's gotta be like that
Always gotta be like that
(Be like that you just be like that)
I seek and thought out the whole scene
Gangsta-strow corn rolls the whole shabbang
The inside is lovely to these eyes I see
Baby, tell me why it's gotta be like that
'Cause if you see the light then life's alright
Trained eyes locate to focus on the phony
Cause they irritatin' so I'm intimidatin' them
Why it gotta be like that
(Be like that you just be like that)
Tell me why
I thought he had my back, I thought he had our backs
(Baby, tell me why it's gotta be like that)
Baby, tell me why it's gotta be like that
Mister sometime-homey, why he act like that
Still the sucker tried to steal it
Smokin' on some Indo sippin' on a cup of O-Dog
Hear me clearin' over so severe and dreaded
For all sinister's types, sneak that scheme
Tried to be because they think it's fly to be a menace
Always gotta be like that
Be like that you just be like that
(Baby, tell me why it's gotta be like that)
He became too fascinated with that gang related flavor
And sometimes in my mind all I wanna do is cry
That they need to be beheaded, why?
Baby, tell me why it's gotta be like that
So can you dig it
Mentally sinkin' 'specially brinkin'
