_ _ _ _ [G] _
[Dm] I see people hating other people [F] Tell me what's the [G] reason
[Dm] That your kid is hungry You ain't got [F] no money
What's the [G] reason?
By the [Dm] time I'm age nine I'm already deciding
If I can protect mommy from the hood
By fighting her using a knife or a gun when I'm [G] 21
But by then them [Dm] hoods would have pushed their way in our park
And we dotted so I've been a [F] young nervous wreck in their projects
Watching them older [G] niggas pass pot and they [Dm] high man
I'm just a young boy, snot nose, hair nappy, cops ride by
Squeezing they trigger fingers [F] at me
So I would go to [G] school and try to get good [Dm] grades
Teacher wrote mommy and kicked me out of school for having braids
So she cussed me, said my son ain't no motherfucking [F] hoodlum
They judged us, [G] thinking that we dumb cause where we [Dm] come from
Got a little older and now I see
Young niggas wanted by the powers [F] that be
I [G] _
[Dm] see people hating other people
Tell me [F] what's the [G] reason
[Dm] That your kid is hungry You ain't got [F] no money
What's the _ [G] reason?

Season after season
[G] _
[Dm] When you're working hard but there ain't nothing coming

Picture a [G] black nanny and a [Dm] baby in a basket
Push it down fifth aft, she never had it
It's not hers to begin with
She gives her [F] breakfast, baths and dinners
[G] Treats are so tender
[Dm] While her own kids live alone at home with no phone on
Ain't had a good meal in so long
But so long as mommy's [Em] made
Cooking and [Dm] cleaning
She wanna feed her kids and her kids are dreaming
Where's my daddy?
Who's my daddy?
Have you [F] seen him?
I can imagine [G] him acting, what type of human [Dm] being
Could leave his family, go back to the Caribbean
Was he locked up?
Shot out?
Does he have [F] freedom?
Mom [G] said wipe your tears, keep [Dm] reading
While daddy's somewhere spirit broken, feeling defeated
A man feel he has to conquer all
The world is his [Em] oyster, his pearl for [Dm] y'all No, no
I can't find no reason
[F] We can't all live [G] in peace

She called the [G] cops cause she hated his mother
[Dm] Now he away doing numbers, now she gay with her lover
How many niggas gone die this [F] summer?
I pump life on my music [G] but still life is a [Dm] wonder
There's the officer in the squad car
He's a prostitute, [F] serial killer
It's all wrong
Cause he's the [G] same cop that churched with his wife, [Dm] us and his son
Badass bastard, likes [F] to match and kills Betty [G] Shabazz in the past
While [Dm] she slept

Imagine [G] what's next

Season after _
[G] season
[Dm] When you're working hard but there ain't [Am] nothing coming
What's the [Em] reason?
