Questions
The Social Experiment Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rain so hot in the neighbourhood
My love don't call when she said she would
Friends who come don't stay for good, no, no, no
Why?
Pigs want take black mama's kids
Bible say we all friends, stay real
Why some of us get to heaven too soon
Why, why, why why
