Lyrics

[Chorus] (Maverick Sabre) Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why Said I don't know if I can get high Trying to run away from this fight, say... Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why Said I don't know if I can get by Bring tomorrow, make my soul cry Tell me why, why.. [Verse 1] (Jordan) Rah! Tell me why, tell me why Look into my eyes brother, I ain't telling lies The revolution won't be televised But they'll show us on the news, when we're banging nines Frontline, like them little kids in Palestine Fuck the Government, all they chat is a bag of lies (bullshit) I risked my life every other night I live a gutter life, I put it on my Mother's life Self defence, first time that I cut a guy For everyone that's woke, throw up your peace signs These are peak times, and these are real rhymes It's too late at twenty-eight, you can't rewind Life's fucked by the time you fucking realise You're on the street, grind beef over b lines Seen a kid get stabbed for a three-five Tell me why, tell me why I hate this street life [Chorus] (Maverick Sabre) Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why Said I don't know if I can get high Trying to run away from this fight, say... Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why Said I don't know if I can get by Bring tomorrow, make my soul cry Tell me why, why.. [Verse 2] (Jordan) Tell me why - rah! Radio won't play this (they won't) Tell me why they won't put me on the playlist (tell me) Tell me why I'm so loyal to these traitors Tell me why I got, all these fucking haters How do dealers get longer than a rapist? Why do people from estates never make it? Why am I so fucking filled up with hatred? Why do I hate being famous? Why's my life been wasted? Shithole cages, up and down pacing (raging) Governor's debating, McCann's too wild They won't take him McCann is what they made him System it hates him, system it raised him Why do evil women, got pretty faces? Why did I grow up with my house being raided? Five-0, bailiffs, guns and tasers [Chorus] (Maverick Sabre) Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why Said I don't know if I can get high Trying to run away from this fight, say... Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why Said I don't know if I can get by Bring tomorrow, make my soul cry Tell me why, why..
