Why?
Jestofunk Lyrics

They won't let us do no shows in New York
We are not allowed to perform in New York for some unexplained reason.

They won't even let us fuckin talk
We are being silenced and not allowed to express ourselves freely.

They say Lost Boyz be a gang
Our group is being unfairly labeled as a gang, despite not being one.

Nah man we just do our thing
We are simply doing what we love and pursuing our passion, despite any obstacles.

Why we always in the cut sometime
Sometimes we are isolated and left out of the mainstream music scene.

Why we always sleep on bud sometime
Sometimes we are not given the recognition and respect we deserve for our talent and hard work.

Word I be askin myself that
I frequently question why we are faced with these challenges and obstacles.

While I turn my cat to the back
I focus on my music and turn to my craft when faced with difficulties.

While I freestyle and rap
I continue to express myself and create music, despite any limitations or restrictions.

And watch them sharks that bite
We are aware of the predatory nature of the music industry and must be careful.

Why god take me to Queens ville
I sometimes question why I was brought to Queens ville and what my purpose is there.

Why them fuckin did what they did
There are people who have wronged us and caused us harm, and we can't understand why.

I see B-Wild gettin down
I can see my friend B-Wild enjoying himself and dancing despite the challenges we face.

Cocoa B, and J-Drama's in town
Our friends and fellow musicians are present and supporting us, which gives us strength.

I rep-re-sent my crew
I am proud to represent my group and our shared passion for music.

Spigg Nice, Freaky Tah and Pretty Lou
These are the members of our crew, whom I am proud to represent.

We are determined to make an impact with our music and connect with our audience.

Stay trees with the fam all day
We stay loyal to our friends and family, and prioritize their support and companionship.

Write my name on the complex hallway
I leave my mark and strive for recognition through my music.

At my mans spot, where he be chillin at
We have a place to gather and relax when we need to, thanks to our friends and supporters.

Throw ya L's in the sky if you feelin that
We are asking our fans to show their support by making a gesture with their hands.

My man got me in the bread right now
Our friend has provided financial support, which we are grateful for.

Because Shakwan, Shane and more

Aiyo why that broad I shoot her?
I am discussing a situation where I shot someone who I felt had wronged me or threatened me in some way.

Because she had my money
This is the reason that I felt justified in shooting the person.

Laughin thinkin it's funny
They did not take my actions seriously or respect my perceived authority and power.

Took my daughter and all of my money from
The person took what was most important to me, and brought it to a personal level.

My safe and yo I have none 'in'

I do not mean to intimidate or frighten anyone with my music or persona.

Aiyo how we do? I dare eya
I am questioning how we are perceived and how our music is received by others.

To get up in our fuckin area
I challenge others to get involved with our music and see what we have to offer.

This is how I do in New York
This is how I express myself and create music within the context of my hometown.

For 97 there's no time to talk
This is the current year, and there is no time to waste on empty words or promises.

Niggas lickin school faces and all that
There are people who are untrustworthy and fake within the music industry.

This is how we do, we gon play and ball black
We are going to persevere and succeed through our music, despite any obstacles or challenges.

On the courts we get down and
We use basketball as a way to bond and find common ground within our community.

LB we creepin to your town
We are expanding our reach and influence through our music, and coming to perform in new places.
