Why Didn't You Call Me

歌詞

[Verse 1] Fast asleep in your bed, then you jolted awake Scared out your skin, wake up in the middle of an earthquake Grab some shoes, grab some clothes, and get out of there fast You just hopin' that this terrible day won't be your last Momma crying, brother screaming, follow you out the door You starin' at the rubble that you used to call home It's bad enough you got no money and no food to eat Now you ain't even got a blanket or a place to sleep Mass destruction, ain't tryna do no fakin' or frontin' Went from somethin' to nothin' while you tryna make a deduction On why a disruption up in the tectonic plates Could flatten a whole country, city, town, or place You feelin' disgraced and abandoned, still you hopin' that maybe There's somebody beyond the clouds who sees the struggle of Haiti Tears in your eyes staring up at the sky Thoughts flying through your brain but what you thinkin' is "why?" [Hook] (Why me) This life is getting out of control (Why me) I feel like I'm about to explode (Why me) I wanna live but I'm just tryna survive And even though I'm not dead I feel I'm barely alive (Why me) This life is getting out of control (Why me) I feel like I'm about to explode (Why me) Nobody know the pain I'm going through I'm losing heart and I don't know what else I gotta do [Verse 2] Mama hasn't felt good, she's been sick for weeks So she's going to the hospital, feels especially weak Man at first it was just coughing and her throat got sore But after 25 days you figure it's gotta be more You one of the few cats who has they daddy around He press hard every day, going pound for pound Every day he hustlin' and strugglin' to put food on the table All your friends got DIRECTV but you never knew cable But none of that matters now, you got a mother to worry about Wondering what's gonna happen as you layin' around Your phone rings later and you're scared to answer Then your daddy drops the bomb ... "Your mother's got cancer" Now she fightin' this disease with all her might But only two months later Momma lost the fight Put it behind you? That's impossible, you don't even try But still your thoughts flyin' by and what they sayin' is "why?" [Hook] (Why me) This life is getting out of control (Why me) I feel like I'm about to explode (Why me) I wanna live but I'm just tryna survive And even though I'm not dead I feel I'm barely alive (Why me) This life is getting out of control (Why me) I feel like I'm about to explode (Why me) Nobody know the pain I'm going through I'm losing heart and I don't know what else I gotta do [Verse 3] I know life can be a jerk to you And forget about trying to get a perk or two But even though it's hurting you, it don't gotta be merking you And it don't have to burden you, 'cause there's one who was burdened for you Hated and spurned for you, crashed and burned for you So best believe that he knows all that you're going through Just remember there will always be a brighter day A better day, a sunny day where you ain't have to say ... [Hook] (Why me) This life is getting out of control (Why me) I feel like I'm about to explode (Why me) I wanna live but I'm just tryna survive And even though I'm not dead I feel I'm barely alive (Why me) This life is getting out of control (Why me) I feel like I'm about to explode (Why me) Nobody know the pain I'm going through I'm losing heart and I don't know what else I gotta do
