[verse 1]


 Early Sunday morning in the spring of 96
 Chilling on the couch watching the bulls against the knicks
 My honey marches in and ask if I think I'm slick
 It seem she found my shirt with lipstick
 I thought I could explain but then my story wouldn't stick
 Incriminating pictures show me some other chicks
 It happened once before and she was tired of the tricks
 She ask me if I can spell the word evict 


[chorus]


 Why me lord situation looking kinda bad
 Why me lord I lost the best girl I ever had 
 Why me lord I'm homeless and I'm feeling kinda sad 
 Why me why me why me why me 
 Why me lord how you member massa god so quick 
 Why me lord when trouble tek you pickney shirt a fit 
 Why me lord is just because you don't know when to quit 
 Why me why me why me why me 


[verse 2]


 Just the other day when I was rolling with my crew
 Made a little flex around by flatbush avenue
 Calling to some honeys and sipping on my brew
 That's when I saw the boys in blue
 Pulled us to the side why I don't even have a clue
 Looking for a reason and they finally found a few
 A case of ammunition and a loaded thirty two
 I can't believe what I'm going through 


[chorus]


 Why me lord here I am I gotta face the time
 Why me lord though the evidence ain't even mine 
 Why me lord I swear I ain't guilty of the crime 
 Why me why me why me why me 
 Why me lord how you member massa god so quick 
 Why me lord when trouble tek you pickney shirt a fit 
 Why me lord is just because you don't know when to quit 
 Why me why me why me why me 


[bridge]


 Take heed never take advantage of the thing you need 
 Never let yourself be over come by greed
 Walk the straight and narrow and you shall succeed 
 Get you act up to speed
 And try no matter what it takes to give a next man a blye
 Everybody else deserve a piece a the pie
 Honesty the best policy no sell no samfie
 You no need fi wonder why 


[chorus]
