Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me, Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me.
Well I gave you ev′rything I had, But you left me sitting on my own, Did you have to treat me oh so bad, All I do is hang my head and moan.
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me, Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me.
If there′s something I have said or done, Tell me what and I′ll apologize, If you don′t really can′t go on, Holding back these tears in my eyes.
Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me, Tell me why you cried, and why you lied to me.
Well I beg you on my bended knees, If you′ll only listen to my pleas, Is there anything I can do, ′cause I really can′t stand it, I′m so in love with you.
I took a chance, i took a shot and you might think i′m bulletproof, but i′m not you took a swing, i took it hard and down here from the ground i see who you are
I′m sick and tired of your attitude I′m feeling like i don′t know you you tell me that you love me then you cut me down and i need you like a heartbeat but you know you got a mean streak makes me run for cover when you′re around and here′s to you and your temper yes, i remember what you said last night and i know that you see what you′re doing to me tell me why..

i take a step back, let you go i told you i′m not bulletproof now you know
I′ve been losing myself beneath this, so much broken by the rain. Nothing can take my mind off how to make them pay. Give up myself to nothing, then the pain will go away. Losing myself to know this, I′ve been going away.
If I could turn the hands of time, I would, but here I am.
Tell me why am I still here when I′m so dead? I am just a ghost of yesterday. Tell me why am I still trying to hold on? Gotta turn it down to let it go.
I do turn to keep on trying, but I spend it to the end. Knowing that there′s no person for my rising side. I′ve buried again in evil, always the one who′s left behind. I am the one who′s standing, I will live to tell.
If I could turn the hands of time, I would, but here I am, here I am.
Tell me why am I still here when I′m so dead? I am just a ghost of yesterday. Tell me why am I still trying to hold on? Gotta turn it down to let it go.
Tell me why I′m wasting away. Tell me how to be my own change. Cause I′ve been losing it too long. Tell me how to stand here and fight. Tell me how to face my own day. Cause I′m still standing.
I′m still standing, such as a fighter. I′ve got to fight for all of it.
Tell me why am I still here when I′m so dead? I am just a ghost of yesterday.
Tell me why am I still here when I′m so dead? I am just a ghost of yesterday. Tell me why am I still trying to hold on? Gotta turn it down to let it go.
If I could open my heart again (if I could, if I could, if I could) Must be me why I feel like smile again If I could open my heart again (heart again, heart again) Must be me why I feel like smile again
The morning comes and the snow is falling [x4]
Tell me why, tell me why Tell me why, tell me why
The morning comes and the snow is falling The morning comes and the snow is falling
The morning comes I can understand the reason And snow the is falling (tell me why)
I’m lyin’ wide awake, My head is spinnin’ over you Dark of night, no stars in sight You’re dreamin’ next to me Afraid to close my eyes Cause I don’t wanna miss a moment of you Don’t want to dream now No dream could be as beautiful as you are Tell me what have I done to deserve somethin’ this beauriful
[Chorus:] Tell me why Am I the one your heart belongs to, why me? Tell me why Am I the one who won a place in your heart, why me? Tell me why do you love me, why is it me you want?
Before you came the days just passed But now I am soakin’ up each second Within me a thousand suns arise And I’m prayin’ for them never to disappear Tell me what have I done to deserve somethin’ this beautiful
[Chorus:]
Tell me, why I deserve you And why I hear you say “I love you, girl”
Tell me why Am I the one your heart belongs to, why me? Tell me why Am I the one who won a place in your heart, why me? Tell me why Am I the one your heart belongs to, why me? Tell me why Am I the one who won a place in your heart, why me?
Tell me, why I deserve you Tell me, why I deserve you Tell me, why I deserve you
Mary J. Blige:] Whyyyyyy, whyyyyyy Whyyyyyy, whyyyyyy
[Chorus - Will Smith - while Mary repeats in background:] I really wish I could explain it baby It′s just the world is kinda crazy baby Ain′t no pretty way to paint it baby Don′t cry, dry your eyes
[Verse One: Will Smith] September 11th I woke up about 7 AM West coast time, french toast and my turkey bacon Takin my time awakin, turnin my TV on To my surprise, saw what everybody in the world saw Me and my children, images were chillin My son said - daddy were there people in that building? A cold sweat, frozen with a lump in my chest I heard his question, couldn′t bring my lips to say yes to him That night at my son′s side, he cried And prayed for the ones who died in the World Trade His palms to God, seeds of qualms with God He just, kept on pressin me, wanna know why Then one week later our bombs were dropped We seein them, on CNN, they just won′t stop The infrared, images of brutal attack He said "Daddy now we killin ′em back," right right
[Chorus 2x]
[Interlude: Mary J. Blige] Souls are captured (souls are captured) Dreams are stolen (dreams are stolen) Hearts are broken (hearts are broken) Evil plaguin he rewardin Hate surrender (hate surrender) Love exaulted! (Love exaulted!) HOPE ELATED! (HOPE ELATED!) Negativity DESTROYED AND..
[Verse Two: Will Smith] Honest to God, why is the bomb always gettin the last word And why, did her uncles have to molest her And why, did all them cops have to be shootin to kill? And why, did all them priests have to act so ill? Tell me why did James Byrd Jr. have to be touched? Tell my why did Malcolm and Martin depart from us Tell me why did the sniper make that little boy shoot And why, is human life always denied for loot? Tell me WHY did MANDELA have to live in a cage Why did my brother Sterling have to die at that age Tell me why did Reginald Denny deserve his fate And why the {*BLEEP*} can′t love, seem to defeat hate? Tell me why is it so hard for all the children to eat? Why did ′Pac and Biggie Smalls have to fall in the street? Tell me why did Jam Master Jay have to go that way? Please, what am I supposed to say my kids when they say
[Chorus 2x]
[Verse Three: Will Smith] Can′t explain it baby life is just really crazy I mean if it′s world wars or the life of a little baby We got more stores than they got rice under buddha lazy You live four scores and still it be drivin you crazy But for me I try to see the button side Sometimes it be like the goodness be tryin to hide Or tryin to flee, but it can′t, it′s deep inside Sweetie you be the light for others, make ′em believe in God
A day with no glory A heart filled with fear Still repeating his story To make ourselves clear A voice is unheard when it shouts from the hills Your king in his castel Never died on this feels
His blood on your hands A smile on your face But wicked intentions When his money to be made A room with no windows And a heart that can′t feel Shame with no convictions and a view to a kill
Tell me why And why must we fight And why must we kill in the name of what we think is right and no more no war is how do you know
The hate in your eyes The lies on your tongue A hand that kills the innocence who quit to do wrong your belly is full While we fight for what remains The rich getting richer While the poor become slaves
We kill our own brothers The truth is never told If victory is freedome Then the truth is untold Surrender your soldiers Like everyone else If love is my religion Don′t speak for myself
Tell me why And why must we fight And why must we kill in the name of what we think is right And no more No war Is how do you know
And how do you know ? (4X)
And please tell me why And why must we fight And why must we kill in the name of what we think is right And no more No war Is how do you know
I′m living this life I′m givin this lies And how do i die for the name of what you think is right And no more Hoh Lord Is how do we know And how do we know?

Rich Homie Quan: I don′t know what it was about you Like blue you left me without a clue (I pictured the fate, is it true?) Cause I try to make this shit work (But it seems like is it your feelings You kept them hatin′ bitches all in our business) But I just got one question baby: Tell me why?
