This One Is Why Im Here - Twezzy, Big Raw & Young Matt

The useless drag of another day; The endless drags of a death rock boy. Mascara sure and lipstick lost, Glitter burned by restless thoughts, of being forgotten. And in your sad machines, you'll forever stay, Desperate and displeased with whoever you are, And you're a star. Somewhere he pulls his hair down over a frowning smile. A hidden diamond you cannot find; A secret star that cannot shine, over to you. May the king of gloom, be forever doomed. And in your sad machines, you'll forever stay. Burning up in speed, lost inside the dreams, of teen machines. The useless drags, the empty days. The lonely towers of long mistakes. To forgotten faces and faded loves. Sitting still was never enough. And if you're giving in, then you're giving up. 'Cause in your sad machines, you'll forever stay. Burning up in speed, lost inside the dreams, of teen machines.

People always wanna know The reason for what they consider senseless violence in the hood I'ma break it down for you This is why we ride And this is why we ride And this is why we ride I gotta say this clear, I gotta say this loud I should've been dead, don't know how I'm here now I should've been dead, damn it forty years ago How the fuck did I survive? Something that I'll never know I played the crack game, gang bang, guns Motherfuckers told me I'd never see twenty-one I come from L.A, deep in the heart of the hood Every night the bullets fly, this shit ain't Hollywood Could be your best friend, mother or brother dead Cops can't do shit, these streets are blood red So we leave the block and we load the guns And we want revenge, until revenge comes And this is why we ride And this is why we ride I made it out the hood, I got a great life But them bullets fly every motherfucking night Another kid dies every motherfucking night Another mother cries every motherfucking night Ghettoes of deep crack, made to never escape A place to store the poor, made to never escape They're all over the world, people go to die Murders go unsolved, I understand why They remove hope and then we sell dope Pain and poverty has us at each other's throat Families are broken and so we gangbang A bit form of unity but most love some of us ever seen And this is how we die And this is why we ride Oh man, coming up and surviving in the ghetto The smallest argument Goes from little drama to big drama Next thing you know, somebody's dead I don't think you can understand If you've never been in your streets and held your best friend in your arms Your child in your arms And watch them breathe their last breath 'Cause somebody shot 'em dead in the streets You ain't thinking of calling the police You want revenge And you want it now I gotta be honest with you If somebody were to kill me, shoot me right now My last words wouldn't be, "Peace" It would be, "Get those motherfuckers" (And this is why we ride) This song is dedicated to all of you who has lost somebody to street violence And this is why we ride And this is how we die
