Why
Why take people lives when you can save their lives
Why beat your child when you can love ‘em
Why be something that you’re not and say something smart that can get you shot
Why smoke and make your parents catch a stroke
Why me
Why you
Stop trying to put yourself in people’s shoes that’s not for me and you
The only thing we want to do is shoot, WHY….
