Rakim Al-Jabbaar - Why Lie Lyrics

From a worker to a boss (grind with me now)
I need a Benz I'm tryna floss (ride with me now)
Look all the friends that I done lost (cry with me now)
I thought you wanted me to ball (why would he lie)

Aye, aye (why would he lie)
Trust me I done seen it all (why would he lie)
They tried to nail me to the cross (why would he lie)
Aye, aye (why would he lie)

Both feet off the porch
Headed off to college but I dropped out of my course
Desperate need of dollars trust me I ain't have no choice
Headphones on tryna drown out all the noise

Not your average Dallas nigga, I can keep my poise
Posted on the yard tryna build up my report
Turned my dorm room to a CVS store
Selling every drug all the thugs like to explore

Back when Beeta had the corn I was selling it like dro
Sent my money up the road with my bros I need to score
But they hated tried to take me out the game
Fifteen years later and I swear ain't nothing changed

Lotta disdain cause I still ain't in the grave
Hoes don't think I'm lame they be singing all the praise
I can make the sunshine through the rain
Married to the grind I'm just channeling my pain cause I came

From a worker to a boss (grind with me now)
I need a Benz I'm tryna floss (ride with me now)
Look all the friends that I done lost (cry with me now)
I thought you wanted me to ball (why would he lie)

Aye, aye (why would he lie)
Trust me I done seen it all (why would he lie)
They tried to nail me to the cross (why would he lie)
Aye, aye (why would he lie)

I know the pain run deep
Cause your baby mama used to be my favorite freak
Bust like a piñata every time I took a swing
Dripping through her panties all I gotta do is speak

Lotta niggaz hated when I came up on the scene
Knowing I'm the greatest ever that the city seen

Bloodline of a King bitch I got it from my father
Put this mackin' on your daughter
Have her kneeling front his altar cause I came

From a worker to a boss (grind with me now)
I need a Benz I'm tryna floss (ride with me now)
Look all the friends that I done lost (cry with me now)
I thought you wanted me to ball (why would he lie)

Aye, aye (why would he lie)
Trust me I done seen it all (why would he lie)
They tried to nail me to the cross (why would he lie)
Aye, aye (why would he lie)
