Right the Wrongs

Lyrics

[Intro: Apani] I wonder why, I need to know I wonder why, I need to know I wonder why [Chorus: Apani] To realize my dreams and right the wrongs I see, things ain't what they seem I wonder why through schemes 'cause I need to know [Verse 1: Apani] I wonder Why some niggas wanna run before they can crawl When the writing is scrawled all over the wall Can't front. I used to, didn't see it before Or maybe I didn't think I was who the message was for Now I examine issues to the core—kind of like I do metaphors (Word), think about friends I don't see no more like my ex-best friend Nica When we met in gym class, she rocked Diadora sneakers We go back like that. Even Before rap, met little duns together Riding bikes in hot weather on the ave, catching twin ass-cracks The usual mishaps, shared too many laughs that Ended. Now our paths don't cross, fences Need to be mended. I wonder if, today, she Feels the loss like I often do. Memories? Made more than a few. Still go a lot Of places that I've been with you. You moved away—heard you Stay in Atlanta. I have to check you when I do a show just to say, "Yo, been on My mind lately, and I thought you should know" [Chorus: Apani] (x2) To realize my dreams and right the wrongs I see, things ain't what they seem I wonder why through schemes 'cause I need to know [Verse 2: Apani] Since Last contact, a lot has happened. You been knew I Was rapping, done a little traveling, performing and Recording my craft, I'm breaking through at last. You know The math, how I paid dues with the Dead Men crew (DMO) Carlos, Ant, me, Vic, and HaS took mad Flicks on 76th Ave in Flushing, Queens Cutting hair at Marie's. Now he's overseas In the military. Still, this music shit is Most primary. Just seen Anthony on the train He doing his thang. We cool, but his priorities changed The rest are the same. Ain't seen old What's-His-Name in eons. Yo, how's your moms? Yo, mines is fine. My godmother Nancy died (Rest in peace) Two years ago in April. Damn, time flies, plus Matthew committed suicide (Rest in peace). I can't even cry But it still blows my mind. He left a lot Of friends behind when he was alive. He asked about you From time to time—"Yo, how's Nica?" I replied "Ain't seen her or heard from her." He thought it was A shame, but I guess that's just the way it go Friends grow apart. Why? I don't know People grow apart. Why? I don't know Friends grow apart. Why? I don't know Damn, I wish I knew [Chorus: Apani] (x2) To realize my dreams and right the wrongs I see, things ain't what they seem I wonder why through schemes 'cause I need to know [Verse 3: Apani] Through life We feel joy and pain, stick and move to gain Solid footing in these insane times It's a battle just maintaining a vibe. Motherfuckers leaving me Mentally fried, but I can't be denied. Look at me I'm moving mountains with rhymes. Must be the grand design I met the love of my life. He wasn't Mr. Right But I'm still living, still building Want a career and children, be set with millions and never Let it go to my head. Someone wise once said We only value what's out of reach or dead Haven't been close to Megalon. I hope Nothing is wrong. You've been healthy and strong I wrote this song when remembering when, hoping Maybe we can breathe again if we ever meet again 'Cause, right now, I could really use a friend from back then [Chorus: Apani] (x4) To realize my dreams and right the wrongs I see, things ain't what they seem I wonder why through schemes 'cause I need to know [Outro: Apani] Tell me, I need to know I wonder why, I need to know Tell me I wonder why Tell me I need to know I wonder why
