Tell Me Why
Kottonmouth Kings Lyrics

Now why you gotta cramp my style
Why are you ruining my good mood?

You keep fuckin' with my high now I'm bout to get wild
You're disturbing my drug-induced state and I might become agitated.

Now why you gotta harass the pot dealer
Why do you have to bother the person who deals marijuana?

Harass the people at expired parking meters
Why are you bothering people who haven't paid their parking fees on time?

Why you gotta pull me over
What's the reason behind stopping my vehicle?

As if I was the dude in the stolen Nova
Why do you treat me as if I have stolen a car?

Now why you gotta badge on your chest
Why do you need a badge on your chest?

Sting gun on your hip and a bulletproof vest
Why are you carrying a stun gun and wearing a bulletproof vest?

Now why you gotta act like you save the people
Why are you pretending that you protect people?

You front and you kid just so we can feel equal
You pretend and pretend so that we can feel equal.

Now why you gotta read me my rights
Why do you have to recite my rights to me?

Would you read 'em to your wife Fuck no Jesus Christ
You wouldn't read those rights to your wife, damn it!

Now why you gotta hang cuff me tight
Why are you putting the handcuffs too tight?

In the middle of the night Treat me like a murder type
Why are you treating me like a murderer in the middle of the night?

Now why you gotta, gotta, gotta nuttin
Why are you continuously harassing me?

Gotta get out my face Bitch I know you like Dunkins
Get the hell out of my sight, you like Dunkin Donuts.

Tell me why You want to fuck with me (Why you gotta)
Why do you want to mess with me?

Is it because I'm a Kottonmouth King (Why you gotta)
Are you doing this because I belong to Kottonmouth Kings band?

No time for negivitity So tell me why its always you against me
I don't have time for negativity. Why are you always against me?

To the men,women and children That are catchin or feelin'
To all those people who are suffering or feeling stressed,

Know what I'm dealin what is delt with
I know and understand what you are going through.

Felt up in the melt The laws ???????? flowin liquidfying lava
The laws are intense and can be compared to hot, flowing lava.

We could be makin it harder Listen up and try to follow
We could make things more difficult for the police. Listen and follow my lead.

Now, Why you gotta pull me over in my van
Why did you stop me in my van?

Give a ticket for gram it cost bout a grand
You gave me a costly ticket for just one gram of marijuana.

And why you gotta slow the fuck out your roll
Why are you acting so slow and lazy?

I know I'm not speedin I'm in cruise control
I'm not speeding, I'm just driving in cruise control mode.

So now you gotta find another reason why
Now, you need to come up with a new reason to stop me.

You can stop flashin your lights don't have to viloate my rights ah
Stop flashing your lights and don't infringe upon my rights, okay?

No you don't have let me say your alone Pigs bust in your home guns drawn to your dome
You don't have to let me tell you that you're by yourself. Police broke into my house, guns pointing to my head.

Why you gotta have a chip on your shoulder
Why do you act so aggressively?

Passed the ?????? test I said I was sobber
I passed the test for drugs and I told you I wasn't drunk.

I thought I told ya don't try to pull this on me
I thought I already warned you not to mess with me.

I know between procedure and police brutality
I know the difference between following procedures and police brutality.

So tell me why, you insult me and gain stupidity
Tell me why you harass me and act foolishly.

Why you think your smarter cause you GED
Why do you think you're smart just because you got a GED?

I get high and fly I don't drink and drive
I like to get high and not drive under the influence of alcohol.

And you fuckin with my flight so I gotta ask why
You're messing with my high, so I'm asking you why.

Now everytime I turn the corner Cops all up in my business
Every time I turn the corner, cops are all over me.

Always tryin plan shit, Let me get a witness
They always try to plan something fishy against me. Can someone be a witness?

Its gettin serious and funny to me
This situation is becoming serious and funny at the same time.

Another day another ticket takin money from me
Every day, I get another ticket that takes money away from me.

Now they'd try to pull us over cause were bangin the bus
Now, they're trying to stop us because we're playing loud music from our bus.

The Fish, Johnny Richter, myself and The Judge
Me, The Fish, Johnny Richter, and The Judge are together in the bus.

Who can you trust when the worlds crupt
Who can you trust when the world is corrupt?

Its got the crokked ass cops that put my ass in cuffs
The crooked cops are the one who locked me up.

Whys the police always stressin other people
Why do the police constantly harass other people?

They say protect and serve yet the never treat us equal
They claim to protect and serve, yet they treat us unfairly.

All across the nation people strivin to be equal
People all over the US are working hard to achieve equality.

Another uprisin they don't want to see the sequal
If another uprising happens, they don't wish to see its continuation.

Why you think you don't need no invitation
Why do you think you don't require an invitation?

They rushed up in my house it was a fucked up situation
They stormed into my house, it was a terrible situation.

Tearin' up my pad searchin for the cultivation
They messed up my house while looking for evidence of marijuana production.

Justified these actions through your racist legislation
They used their racist laws to justify their appalling actions.

The thinker can't remember ever slippin in some shit
I can't recall ever getting into trouble before.

Windin up behind some bars with purple rings around my wrists
Now I find myself in jail, with marks around my wrists from the cuffs.

Havin' to wait 10 hours just to take a fuckin piss
I need to wait for ten hours to go to the bathroom.

When your name is just a number as a person you don't exist
When you're reduced to a number, you're no longer seen as a human being.

When you realize that no one really gives a fuck
When you come to a realization that no one truly cares.

When you finally realize when you start to get back up
When you are recovering, and you realize this fact.

Too many people I know for bullshit got locked up
Too many people that I know got arrested for ridiculous reasons.

Too many times I asked why so now I gotta say wha
I have questioned this too many times, but now I ask again.

Why you gotta Why you why you gotta Tell me why Why you gotta why you gotta gotta gotta
Why do you have to be like this? Tell me, why do you have to act like this all the time?
