This Is Why

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Dawaun Parker] AOE, we are! Yeah, and tell me why would you do it? You love it when you have it, but you cry when you lose it This is my type of music They say that you ain't real till you die for the movement I'd rather live for the moment Dream vision and show it You know it [Verse 2: Phil Beaudreau] You know they say you gotta live for yourself Love kills and everything else is hell Like the ones that the story seem to know it too well They keep us broken so their lies can sell Like stories of the walls coming down Stories of fuse on the ground coming home to the prowl And the loud shout, look up how we've come to now Would you look at what we've done for the good of this town? But is anybody seeing what I'm seeing No heart, no pulse, but we're bleeding Go to sleep, keep American dreaming We're not just meat that a fat man's biting We should know about it now Everything's made so we can stay in the house sitting down Like a good dog, and never come out [Chorus: Phil Beaudreau] This is why we're here On the rock in the sky In a world without wonder And we're wondering wild This is how we are Take the love out of life When we take from another We're just left with the lie Yeah [Verse 3: Phil Beaudreau] I just really wanna know what's going on See about who the men in black cars really are We're here to talk, take the black shades fully off Look me in the eyes, then tell me that we're better off For putting kids in caskets, and all your bastards Who're giving guns for gain of the rich With fat pockets in they're wives fat asses Have a good laugh and cling those glasses 'Cause the world is starting to feel Something that's wrong with the one at the wheel And we're coming down hard, bigger ideas To let the rest of us down from under your heels But you should know by now Anything made so we can fly, gotta fall to the ground Some day, and everyone does [Chorus: Phil Beaudreau] This is why we're here On the rock in the sky In a world without wonder And we're wondering wild This is how we are Take the love out of life When we take from another We're just left with the lie Yeah [Verse 4: Dawaun Parker] Yeah, huh It's like a vision of RCA A good doggy never leave She just barks and plays Obey what you're told You break the mold, then it's over You can be the good boy, I'ma be your soldier This is why the country is still slipping The vultures is still picking, the corpse is still living Zombies sitting on the porch swing swinging Democratic, Republican, what a fuck is the difference? Posing for pictures and trying portraying images Something you never will be and never was to begin with You're just a template, a cut-out Do the wrong thing and get sniffed out That's when they put the cuffs out They took the love out, we're left with the lies I have no disguise, no verdict, no alibis I never wonder why, I just follow where I'm going through Know who you are, follow what you know it's true It's overdue when the game's all screw face Everybody talking out their neck or two face Bootleg is the new real, no shoelace Trapped underneath the boot heel, drinking Kool-Aid And it's only getting realer Prescription the new crap, the doctor's the new dealer Absolute mix with something smooth that will kill ya Sipping Molotovs, till I feel bust And my mind is spinning My eyes are glassy, drunk of these lies they pass me Every rotation but they don't ask me And bullshit pain out of Tallahassee No disrespect to the artist though My calling is to say what we already know It must come down if it's up in the sky And I ain't saying how, I'm telling you this is why
