Tell Me Why (feat. Pink)

Rah Digga, Pink, let's go, ladies
Do it

You don't want it, baby (tell me why, tell-tell me why)
You don't want it, baby (tell me why, tell-tell me why)
You don't want it, baby (tell me why, tell-tell me why)
Baby, baby (tell-tell me why, tell-tell me why)

You don't want it, baby (tell me why, tell-tell me why)
You don't want it, baby (tell me why, tell-tell me why)
You don't want it, baby (tell me why, tell-tell me why)
Baby, baby (tell, tell me why, tell-tell me why)

Put it on, what went wrong?
Somethin's happenin' to my brain
Somethin' strange, can't explain, since I got up in this game
Think I'm buggin', call me rugged
Since before I had my name

People fussin', brand new cousins, 'nuff to drive a bitch insane
Tell me, why do I sacrifice my family and my friends?
Thought the struggle would be over, finding out it just begins
Call me crazy, leave my baby, and be travelin' on my way
'Round the clock, making stops to make somebody else's day

I found myself stressin' over ignorant things
I had to realize all the hate that negativity brings
It's like, wherever the day takes me now
Can't be that perfect girl, I don't even know how

Put it on, what went wrong?
Somethin's happenin' 'round the way
Watching roots and hip-hop culture breaking down from day-to-day
Tell me why, where's the love?

All the turbulence and crime
Tryin' to teach my thugs-in-training
'Cause we runnin' out of time
The government done found themselves the perfect remedy
Three strikes, give 'em life
And give the rest immunity
Wanna cry, tell me, why is all these babies in the street?
Little girls is barely teens and they done had more sex than me, hey

I found myself stressin' over ignorant things
I had to realize all the hate that negativity brings (yeah)
It's like, wherever the day takes me now (wherever)
Can't be that perfect girl, I don't even know how

Now, now, now, don't even know how I'm supposed to be
Motivated by the love of those close to me
While I'm steady on the quest, tryin' to make my ends
Turnin' friends to enemies and enemies to friends

Every lesson I've learned, try my best just to show you
Actin' like I owe you, and I'on't even know you
Before it get betta', I see it gettin' worse
So, before the struggle do me, I'ma do me first

Look, thank you, LaFace (yeah), and I feel so out-of-place (yeah)
It's like, constant confusion, and I always feel like I'm losing (losing)
Something telling me to be strong, something's telling me to go on
Sayin' Pink, come now, let's do this song
Rah Dig', and it's goin' on

I found myself stressin' over ignorant things (uh-uh-uh)
I had to realize all the hate that negativity brings (yeah)
It's like, wherever the day takes me now
Can't be that perfect girl, I don't even know how (yeah, yeah)

You don't want it, baby (tell me why, tell-tell me why)
You don't want it, baby (tell me why, tell-tell me why)
You don't want it, baby (tell me why, tell-tell me why)
Baby, baby (tell-tell me why, tell-tell me why)

You don't want it, baby (tell me why, tell-tell me why)
You don't want it, baby (tell me why, tell-tell me why)
You don't want it, baby (tell me why, tell-tell me why)
Baby, baby (tell-tell me why, tell-tell me why)
