Y? (Be Like That) (Remix) - J Dilla/The Pharcyde.mp3

[00:13.24]Why is that?Why is that?(Tell me why)
[00:28.43]I wasn't sleepin' I was creepin' slidin', hidin'
[00:31.33]I would like the girl behind me roll up a bad time thinkin'
[00:34.52]Mentally sinkin' 'specially brinkin'
[00:36.51]Two decades and a half making a path for mine to follow
[00:39.04]The world is hollow, yet it's full of crap, prepared to gamble
[00:41.49]I give you half of chiseled pencil
[00:43.72]What's the come up, cried a ton of tears, drunk a ton of beers
[00:45.81]That's fun at first but learned in person fear throughout the years
[00:49.07]Kept my ears open, eyes scoping, mouth locked
[00:50.72]Don't rock the boat if you can't swim
[00:52.56]Nobody may not be there with the limb to limb
[00:54.85]This is the end, still I can't explain the fact
[00:57.39]Why the **** shit gotta be like that?
[01:05.37]Baby, tell me why it's gotta be like that
[01:04.92]Know what, I said it
[01:06.07]Hear me clearin' over so severe and dreaded
[01:08.10]That they need to be beheaded, why?
[01:10.80]I'm readily, steadily stimulate and then mutilate
[01:14.19]And all sloppily, copied imitations
[01:16.41]Cause they irritatin' so I'm intimidatin' them
[01:18.61]Over the snare with simply a stare
[01:21.26]Bringin' them turbulent terror
[01:22.31]And they know this 'cause they can feel it
[01:23.86]He knew that it was mine
[01:25.34]Still the sucker tried to steal it
[01:26.93]So I had to reveal it, through provin'
[01:28.52]That I am a star machine and fly
[01:31.42]And by just blinkin' my eye in a flash
[01:32.63]I flush out the face, layin' low-key
[01:34.52]Trained eyes locate to focus on the phony
[01:36.86]Mister sometime-homey, why he act like that
[01:39.07]I thought he had my back, I thought he had our backs
[01:41.65]But it was him who I should've never trusted
[01:44.01]And not at least till he got his attitude adjusted
[01:46.79]Or mouth busted for acting all dusted
[01:49.14]But bust this now when I'm out
[01:51.03]I seek and thought out the whole scene
[01:53.28]For all sinister's types, sneak that scheme
[01:54.68]They come into my face
[01:56.03]I send them tigh**en home
[01:57.67]When they're sufferin'
[01:58.71]From the double agent syndrome, why?
[02:01.05]Why it gotta be like that
[02:06.88]Baby, tell me why it's gotta be like that
[02:13.72]Sometimes this world means everything to me
[02:15.72]The inside is lovely to these eyes I see
[02:18.56]And sometimes in my mind all I wanna do is cry
[02:21.64]Holly off, seven of them drops from my eye
[02:23.78]Thugs drain out my skin 'cause I'm pissed from within
[02:26.38]I see a situation now and all I do is grin
[02:28.97]People think I'm high but I'm mentally travelin'
[02:31.31]Agin' in short times 'cause life's a unravelin'
[02:34.21]While I'm straddlin' more's up this f****n' mike
[02:37.85]I hate to be a pilot, cras*in' in a flight
[02:39.29]People need to know about this thing called life
[02:41.78]'Cause if you see the light then life's alright
[02:44.23]So can you dig it
[02:45.52]Be like that you just be like that
[02:48.86]Baby, tell me why it's gotta be like that
[02:51.55]Be like that you just be like that
[02:53.69]Baby, tell me why it's gotta be like that
[03:00.26]I jumped inside the jeep as I embark on my darkness
[03:03.00]Popped in my freestyle tapes
[03:04.71]Started reminiscing about my little homie
[03:06.30]Who was raised in Wyoming wanted to be famous
[03:08.89]So he came to Californey on the microphony
[03:11.73]Was super bad and what not
[03:13.43]But he was the kinda fella to follow paths that was hot
[03:15.82]He became too fascinated with that gang related flavor
[03:18.46]That he modificated rearranged his behavior
[03:21.15]He hooked up quick with the influential slang
[03:23.70]Gangsta-strow corn rolls the whole shabbang
[03:26.70]Braggin' and boastin', boastin' and braggin'
[03:28.94]How we 'posed to be hangin' with Baby Gees, I was baggin'
[03:32.12]But what you tryin' hooride up on the bandwagon
[03:34.06]Hopin' they'd hit him in the head but he steady saggin'
[03:36.91]Like he a hog creepin' through the smog
[03:39.20]Smokin' on some Indo sippin' on a cup of O-Dog
[03:42.24]Like most who come to this West Coast society
[03:44.58]Tried to be because they think it's fly to be a menace
[03:47.04]So what a relic way to end this, got rolled up
[03:49.97]When he was strolling on a Sunday after tennis
[03:52.46]****** never listen, they gotta learn their lesson
[03:54.90]The hard way I'm guessin', guessin'
[03:57.29]BD as I hit the B and make a right on Weston
[04:00.22]Pops in my head the proverbial question, why?
[04:03.41]Be like that, you just be like that
[04:05.71]Baby, tell me why it's gotta be like that
[04:09.41]Tell me why
[04:10.05](Baby, tell me why it's gotta be like that)
