Why Should I?

i wonder why 
should i feel remorseful
for something i got no part in
they yearn 
to see my lifeless corpse
those that i've not seen lend a helping hand
hated me right from the start
from the moment my mama
pushed me out of her womb
tell me why should i give up
stay up all night feeling sorry
when my family's got my back.
