Why? (Remix) Jadakiss (Ft. Anthony Hamilton, Common, Nas & Styles P)

[Intro: Anthony Hamilton & Jadakiss]
All that I'm given
It's this pain that I'm living (The remix, the remix)
They got me in the system
Why they gotta do me like that?

[Verse 1: Styles P]
Why is garbage music sellin' a lot?
Why is the music industry state of mind real far from Hip-Hop?
Why vote Republican if you Black?
Why build more jails, less schools 'cause we under attack?
Why keep the four pound in the air?
The revolution will not be televised, get from 'round here
Why keep my right fist in the sky?
I let them know that "We Gonna Make It", don't plan our demise
Why you gotta teach your kids on your own?
'Cause when you get in the zone, they bringing you in, you both getting cloned
Why we still gotta pray to Allah?
It's Hip-Hop, this the New World Order and they playin' us hard
Why rappers getting protection?
Why the country ain't flipped when they jerked the votes the last election?
Why die for all my beliefs?
I gotta look at my kids I rather smile then cry when he's sleep
That's why

[Chorus: Anthony Hamilton]
Why? Why they got me strugglin', why?
All the brothers locked behind bars, why they getting busy?
Chained up in the system going crazy
I better leave my pistol on, why?
