Yo, to everybody everywhere that's within earshot
Spoiler alert: the whole thing's a fear plot
They want you scared, they want you running for cover
They don't want you looking around, you might discover
All the cracks in the foundation, then you might break shit
Especially when you realize it's all fake shit
Cultures laid quick on top of one another
America the melting pot, yo I Used to Love H.E.R.
Yeah it's Common Sense that we all are equal
But they wouldn't let it Be, so it's on to the sequel
Like Water For Chocolate or Resurrection
They tryna take it backwards when it's only one direction
Forward, why y'all all afraid of all the progress
Y'all on't really run shit, you should jog less
This life that you're given got this light that's within it
If you could tap into it then you could break through the limits
Yo, then you could break through the limits
If you could tap into it then you could break through the limits
Yo I see you got plans, yeah why the fuck not
Ayo you rapping so advanced, yeah why the fuck not
And got battle in your stance, yeah why the fuck not
Yeah why the fuck not, yeah why the fuck not
Say why the fuck not, aye why the fuck not
Aye why the fuck not, yeah why the fuck not
Now where my feelers of the vibe, who let it come alive
Where's my tribe, who's ready to take the ride
It's a hive with a buzz and the wax with a queen
But I ain't really messing with no B style team
A game flamer, A frame gamer
A-Plus told me I was dope, that's how I came up
I been doing this for a while, all my stripes earned
I on't really focus on style, I let the light burn
If you really wanna know what the fuck the Pro's on
I'm just tryna get my fucking hands on some photons
I ain't giving notes out on Boson particles
C.Shreve tryna see weed like barnacles
Below the waves and the currents I'ma flourish
What's it take to make it, link up with your courage
Yeah, it takes a lot to be you in this life
But there's only one of those, so where the fuck's your light
When they say that you can't, say why the fuck not
When they won't shake your hand, say why the fuck not
When they won't take a chance, say why the fuck not
Aye why the fuck not, yeah why the fuck not
Aye I see you got plans, yeah why the fuck not
Ayo you rappin so advanced, yeah why the fuck not
And got battle in your stance, yeah why the fuck not
Why the fuck not, yeah why the fuck not
Why you focussed as a dad, yeah why the fuck not
Why you always in the lab, yeah why the fuck not
You still got your pen and pad, yeah why the fuck not
Aye why the fuck not, yeah why the fuck not
Say why the fuck not, why the fuck not
Why the fuck not, why the fuck not
You know
It's like throughout life they gon tell you
You know, why would you wanna try to go after that goal
Or try to accomplish that thing that's so impossible
Why the fuck not
A call to action.
We wanted a revolution, but they just ran us around in circles. Here to speak truth, to say what needs
to be said. And the beats are f#@kin bangin.
Do your best.
See the positive. Transform the world.
