[Chorus:]
5
I really wish I could explain it baby

Ain't no pretty way to paint it baby

[Will Smith]

September 11th I woke up about 7 AM
11
West coast time, french toast and my turkey bacon
12
Takin' my time awakin, turnin' my TV on
13
To my surprise, saw what everybody in the world saw
14
Me and my children, images were chillin'
15
My son said - daddy were there people in that building?
16
A cold sweat, frozen with a lump in my chest
17
I heard his question, couldn't bring my lips to say yes to him
18
That night at my son's side, he cried
19
And prayed for the ones who died in the World Trade
20
His palms to God, seeds of qualms with God
21
He just, kept on pressin' me, wanna know why
22
Then one week later our bombs were dropped
23
We seein' them, on CNN, they just won't stop
24
The infrared, images of brutal attack
25
He said "Daddy now we killin' 'em back," right right
26
[Chorus]
27
[Chorus]
28
Souls are captured (souls are captured)
29
Dreams are stolen (dreams are stolen)
30
Hearts are broken (hearts are broken)
31
Evil plaguin' he rewardin'
32
Hate surrender (hate surrender)
33
Love exalted! (Love exalted!)
34
Hope elated! (hope elated!)
35
Negativity destroyed and..
36
[Will Smith]
37
Honest to God, why is the bomb always gettin' the last word
38
and why, did her uncles have to molest her
39
and why, did all them cops have to be shootin' to kill?
40
And why, did all them priests have to act so ill?
41
Tell me why did James Byrd Jr. have to be touched?
42
Tell my why did Malcolm and Martin depart from us
43
Tell me why did the sniper make that little boy shoot
44
And why, is human life always denied for loot?
45
Tell me WHY did MANDELA have to live in a cage
46
Why did my brother Sterling have to die at that age
47
Tell me why did Reginald Denny deserve his fate
48
And why the fuck can't love, seem to defeat hate?
49
Tell me why is it so hard for all the children to eat?
50
Why did 'Pac and Biggie Smalls have to fall in the street?
51
Tell me why did Jam Master Jay have to go that way?
52
Please, what am I supposed to say my kids when they say
53
[Chorus]
54
[Chorus]
55
[Will Smith]
56
Can't explain it baby life is just really crazy
57
I mean if it's world wars or the life of a little baby
58
We got more stores than they got rice under buddha lazy
59
You live four scores and still it be drivin' you crazy
60
But for me I try to see the button side
61
Sometimes it be like the goodness be tryin' to hide
62
or tryin' to flee, but it can't, it's deep inside
63
Sweetie you be the light for others, make 'em believe in God
