Why

Why must we live in a world full of hate?
Why is love something people won't give, yet are happy to take?
If there's a god, why does he allow little kids to get cancer and women to get raped?
Why am I asking these questions when there's no one who can answer me straight?

Why am I writing this when people will hate me for speaking my mind?
Why do most people only talk when they have someone or something to hide behind?
Why does the news make a massive headline out of the kardashians but ignore what's going on in Palestine?
When innocents get murdered, why are there people crying about being singe on Valentine's?

Why did the McCann's leave their kids, go for a drink and not get arrested for neglect?
Why did they leave Madeline when she's their daughter who they're meant to protect?
Why am I asking real questions, but people will say I need to learn about respect?
Why am I asking these questions?, because if I had kids, Under no circumstances would they ever be left

Why do people say "we should have done more" when someone commits suicide?
Why did they ignore the person with depression when they were alive?
Why is a female called a hoe, but I'll be called a legend if I went and had sex with 20 people?
We're either both legends, or both hoes, there's no difference, so why do you act like we're not equal?

Why does Hip-Hop get blamed for gun crime?
Why don't you listen to the music and pay attention to the rhymes?
Why do politicians lie to us from the start?
Why can't people be honest? It's really not that hard

Why am I asking so many questions in my rhymes?
Why does the rest of the world only ask questions when they have someone to hide behind?
Why did I question the McCann's? Because the police didn't do their job?
Why did I write all these questions When I won't get an answer from God?
