This is why

This is why

It's like a story that would never be told/
It's like a child that would never be sold/
People all around the world could be crazy/
I've been there, in Iraq they've never heard of Jay-Z/
It's so sad, I cannot believe/
Every young child there is a fuckin' thief/
Never seen a computer laptop before/
When you read the news, you just stare at the floor/
Either that or not/
Still they live their lifes so hot/
While we sit here and throw all the food away/
They sit there looking for that everyday/
Tryin to survive his little life/
While a bird is ready to eat him with fork and knife/
You better be proud of what your living/
You better not be throwin, better be giving/
So try to imagine how it looks in their house/
Eatin' garbage, even a fuckin mouse/
It's hard to stop it, hard to prevent/
Never got money so you gotta get it sent/
Think of you living all your life without a computer/
In Africa, being a corpse-looter/
Being a Guerilla Shooter/
Now imagine see a big guy with an AK shoot down your mother/
And killing your father with a smile that's sinister/
While another guy rapes and kills your sister/
And leave you left to join the Guerilla/
When you're 7, you're an ice cold killa/
You kill all families around, people thought they lived in a thrilla/
It's hard being poor and hard living like they do/
So be proud what you got and live it up to!
