Why You Do It - Barrington Levy

I've been thinking 'bout what you have done to me The damage is much deeper then you'll ever see Hit me like a hammer to my head I wonder, were you pushed or were you led Why did you do it? Why did you do that thing to me Why did you do it? Why did you do that thing to me The only one who knows the truth Man, thats him and me and you My friends they listen to the things I say They listen and they here more every day But I know they never understand it Because it was no accident you planned it Why did you do it? Why did you do that thing to me Why did you do it? Why did you do that thing to me The only one who knows the truth Man, thats him and me and you I've been thinking 'bout what you have done to me The damage is much deeper then you'll ever see Hit me like a hammer to my head I wonder, were you pushed or were you led Why did you do it? Why did you do that thing to me Why did you do it? Why did you do that thing to me The only one who knows the truth Man, thats him and me and you

A symphony of screen doors Slamming on a sunday Surf the couch Don't come home till Monday Long car rides and short answers Each day we're going nowhere faster This had got to end but i don't know where To begin. And i feel so ashamed when you Call my name or when i walk through the Front door. Each holiday is a tragedy, You keep screaming at me and keep Swinging at me, and then you wonder why Jamie's gone but it's been Coming for so long. I'm so great at holding back tears in your Face, i wish you knew how this felt, But you could never understand. This is the fourth chapter of my confession, I Hope you read it. I'm leaving footprints in the Snow from all my painful secrets And i can't forget, how could i forget And i can't forget all of the things you said. The apple starting rotting, so i painted it red. And made a caricature it of myself to be The perfect daughter for the world to see. Sit still, stand up straight. Smile, wave, don't be late. Do exactly as i say or You won't live to see another day. Pressure builds diamonds, But it breaks them too. So I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do Because it's just been weighing on my mind Stay here and die or run away and break I'm gonna take my one man army To the streets You can't stop me Don't even try You can't stop me Don't even try I wish i was never born I wish i was never born Never born I'm so great at holding back Tears in your face I wish you knew how this felt But you could never understand I'm so great at holding back Tears in your face I wish you knew how this felt But you could never understand This is the fifth draft of my confession I hope you read it Ive left my footprints in the snow with all My painful secrets Mom and dad; I'm sorry things Had to be this way I loved you both so much And i really wish things were different I feel so guilty, but i cant take this anymore The abuse; physical and mental. I'm leaving You but please just answer me this question; Why did you do it?

Warning, MC's stand back You better take a chill and observe the skill Of the man who can, so understand god damn I got a masterpiece a master plan and a brand new Way to attack the wack cut 'em down to size To realize LL's back Don't sleep I'm too sweet to repeat a beat A lyric or rhyme I wouldn't waste your time With weak words, that's for nerds, you never heard a rhyme So you deserve a line rougher than rough enough is enough I'm, gonna slaughter choke ya smoke ya like a sauna You don't really wanna But if you wanna battle on here's a lesson: stop 'fessin I'm a lethal weapon, you better get to steppin Off the stage, and outta my face You're too light? save the bass Why do you think they call it dope? Why do you why do you think they call it dope? It seems like people-'ll never understand On the microphone I'm not your average man I cool out sometimes, I save my best rhymes And then the toy boy thinks that he can come and get mine Let your friends gas him up, talk trash and make bets Then gets played like those kids who tried to rob Goetz You don't know what I'm sayin? Yo check it Give me any microphone and god damnit I'll wreck it! I'm coldblooded I'm about to mutilate Last year before I left I told you to wait But you couldn't stay loyal started goin astray Thinkin Tom, Dick, and Harry can mess with Cool J Is you crazy? I'm boomin, got the talent of two men The stamina and skill in battle to kill a few men The heart of a lion, the loyalty of a soldier I wreck your whole mob then tell ya I told ya! Why do you think they call it dope? Why do you why do you think they call it dope? Cause I don't jab around you, I come inside Bob and weave, deceive until you get tongue tied Brawl for all give a lyrical display And next time you know better than to get in my way "Yo whassup wit LL? Will he ever make another 'Rock the Bells'?" Yo brothers is comin up, "I think he's fallin off I don't think he's still 'hard as hell'" See, this is the attitude, of ignorant ones Cause they don't know, all them MC'sll get done One or two might say, "Yo L'll be back" But the rest they be suckin on SUGAR SMACKS Talkin that crap about who's better than me You think so? Just let a MC Make me mad enough, to really wanna battle I put a L on his ass like he was cattle! Why do you think they call it dope? Why do you why do you think they call it dope? Just cause I make a love song, or say a simple rhyme "Boom, move over L, it's Miller Time" I don't know whether to laugh, get ill or get wild Cause brothers don't realize, I got so many styles Like triplin up the words, confusin all the nerds Heard put my sights on mics and? flippin above the word To the mother, no other MC brother, can mess with Ladies Lover I'm original, I'm bright under color And when I get on the mic, yo I burn rubber Can't stand criticism, give 'em an exorcism Been rockin for years, now I have wisdom The way I'm kickin the lines you can hear my tongue twist And it'll have your neck spinnin like you're spineless I'm pickin 'em up, throwin 'em down Hypin 'em up and slowin 'em down All of these words with only one tongue Shakin 'em up and then bakin 'em up Smash boom bash scrapin 'em up Now you thought that was hard, I just begun Cause I'm a roll on the microphone And take control just like Al Capone I'm notorious, you're foolish if you sleep on me Cause I'm too slick to let a rapper get sweet on me Try to make a move for my heavyweight belt You get played like the Wizard of Oz witch, you melt Yo I'm crazy dope, with super hype lines And a lot of hype lines make one dope rhyme Why do you think they call it dope? Why do you why do you think they call it dope? Why do you think they call it dope? Why do you why do you think they call it dope? Cause that's what it is Why do you think they call it dope? Why do you why do you think they call it dope? Why do you think they call it dope? [Cutting and scratching "Straight from Queens" to the end]
