Huh! Now isn't it amazing sometimes
As soon as people reach in a bad situation
They start to call on God, haha
You should remember God
In your every day nuance
Not just when it gets bad
You know what it is, Shaggy!

Early Sunday morning in the spring of '96
I'm chilling on my couch watching the Bulls against the Knicks
My honey marches in and ask if I think I'm slick?
It seem she found my shirt with lipstick
I thought I could explain, but then my story wouldn't stick
Incriminating pictures show me with some other chicks
It happened once before and she was tired of the tricks
She ask me if I can spell the word evict

(Why me Lord?) Situation looking kinda bad
(Why me Lord?) I lost the best girl I ever had
(Why me Lord?) I'm homeless and I'm feeling kinda sad
(Why me, why me, why me, why me?)
(Why me Lord?) How you member Massa God so quick
(Why me Lord?) When trouble tek you pickney shirt a fit
(Why me Lord?) Is just because you don't know when to quit
(Why me, why me, why me, why me?)

(Why me? Why me, Lord? Why me? Why me, Lord?)
(Why me? Why me Lord? Why me?)
Why me? Why me? Why me?
(Why me? Why me Lord? Why me? Why me, Lord?)
(Why me? Why me Lord? Why me?)
Why me? Why me? Why me?

Just the other day when I was rolling with my crew
I made a little flex around by flatbush avenue
Calling to some honeys and sipping on my brew
That's when I saw the boys in blue
They pulled us to the side, why I don't even have a clue
Looking for a reason and they finally found a few
A case of ammunition with a loaded thirty two
I can't believe what I'm going through

(Why me Lord?) Here I am I gotta face the time
(Why me Lord?) Though the evidence ain't even mine
(Why me Lord?) I swear I ain't guilty of the crime
(Why me, why me, why me, why me?)
(Why me Lord?) How you member Massa God so quick
(Why me Lord?) When trouble tek you pickney shirt a fit
(Why me Lord?) Is just because you don't know when to quit
(Why me, why me, why me, why me?)

(Why me? Why me, Lord? Why me? Why me, Lord?)
(Why me, Lord? Why me?)
Why me? Why me, Lord? Why me? Why me?
(Why me? Why me, Lord? Why me? Why me, Lord?)
Why me? Why me, Lord? Why me? Why me?

Take heed never take advantage of the thing you need
Never let yourself be overcome by greed
Walk the straight and narrow and you shall succeed
Get your act up to speed
And try no matter what it takes to give a next man a bly
Everybody else deserve a piece o' the pie
Honesty the best policy, no sell no samfie
You no need fi ask why

(Why me? Why me, Lord? Why me? Why me, Lord? Why me?)
(Why me, Lord? Why me?)
Why me? Why me? Why me?
(Why me? Why me, Lord? Why me? Why me, Lord?)
(Why me, Lord? Why me?)
Why me? Why me? Why me
