Why lyrics

Artist  : 4th Avenue Jones 
Song : Why



 Send "Why" Ringtone to your Cell 

 I’m reminiscing like JOE, staring at faded
pictures

Through Satan’s tempting and death

Back resurrected as the greatest victor

Throughout my travels sampled great elixirs

Liquor’s and weed

Feel like I’m bleeding, need a way to fix
this

Pain that I feed

I told’em “Go head I ain’t
coming�

Bed being Co – Ed stop being fun

And I can’t even sleep

Stress running my mind

Got diamonds but don’t none of em’
shine

My heart is heavy

Every problem weigh a ton at a time

Stay isolated cause’ I’m one of a
kind

Fake homies claiming that they got my back

But every one of em’ lying

My label jerking me forever jacking

But like Jeremiah this fire got in my bones

Now I’m forever rapping

I took the bitter with the sweet

Never quitters we keep

Teaching like ghetto Messiah’s to deliver
the streets

Became a son of God as soon as I admitted
I’m weak

And gave back what was given to me

I don’t understand why



(Chorus:)

I don’t know why

You gotta lie

Think I’m gon’ try

Take your piece of the pie



Scheme and you cheat

Cheat and you lie

I don’t understand why they keep playing
with me

I don’t know why

You gotta lie

Think I’m gon’ try

Take your piece of the pie

Scheme and you cheat

Cheat and you lie

I’m a grown man now quit playing with
me



No y’all ain’t ready for it

I don’t think they ready for it

Really y’all ain’t ready for it

I don’t think they ready for it

Y’all think y’all ready for it

I don’t think they ready for it

Who think they ready for it?

I don’t think they ready



This hip-hop, rock, soul

Is all we do around here

I spit a lot

Practicing flowing while I’m doing my
hair

From Little Rock

Some of em’ said I wasn’t going
nowhere

But I had confidence these poems I share’d
be embraced by many

Said “you way too skinny"

Nobody gave me anything

Be singing at my job while I slave for
pennies

I love emceeing

Love to be in the studio locked

Haters that knocked gon’ see me rocking at
coliseums

I used to cry watching these video shows

Pitiful

Artist with silly flows

They gotta be kidding

Yo, why we dope and got it hard like this?

I don’t understand it my band is making
all these hits

And I feel abandoned by labels cause’ they
all insist

I should straighten my hair to hit it

I’m real but they don’t get it

Every mic I lit it

For fans I stay committed

Want me solo forget it

We make a dollar we split it

Tell me why



(Chorus)



None of y’all ain’t ready for
it

I don’t think they ready for it

No y’all ain’t ready for it

I don’t think they ready for it

Y’all think y’all ready for it

I don’t think they ready for it

But y’all ain’t ready for it

I don’t think they ready



I’m gon’ stay ready

I’ma stay ready (repeat till the end)



Ready for whatever

Ready for whoever

You ain’t gon’ never catch us
slipping

This is Hiprocksoul

It don’t matter what they say

Tena Jones gon’ be ready

We all gon’ be ready

4th Avenue gon’ stay ready

We gon’ be ready

We gon’ stay ready

We been putting it down for so long

I’m ready

I’ve been ready all my life

I’ve been ready all my life

So every thing will be all right
