Why (Feat. Stevie Wonder) Lyrics


I pledge allegiance to the (tell me what we gone do)
I used to know you but (you don't call you used to do)
If you still love me can I (give me a chance just to say how I feel it may hurt you but what I'm saying is for real)
We're killing babies and (I love to see children play)
I've got depression (there's a new pill I saw today)
How hypocritical to (nothing is wrong take a pricture and just smile money's coming after while)(Why oh why) we keep believing lies
(Why oh why) did laci have to die
Why oh why Lord tell me when our change is gon come
There are not fathers and (the system's holding me down)
Sisters are dying of AIDS (I know my man don't sleep around)
Don't be stupid listen (we all gone die and since you only live once you do you you go head live your life)
We're building chruches but (my pastor is on tv)
But are we building people (I filed for divorce last week)
We're wasting money tell me (why should I save let me have my worldly things God said he'll supply needs)
That ain't what He means(Why oh why) can't our soilders come back home
(Why oh why) it seem like innocence is gone
(Why oh why) are people still losing jobs
(Why oh why) we're spending money building bombs

Why oh why Lord tell me when our change is gone comeI just wanna be freeWake up no more sleeping (seems like my life ain't gone change)
Let's stop making excuses (I pray but things still stay the same)
See Jesus said that he will (please take this pain I can't make it on my own ain't no sunshine when you're gone)
(Why oh why) Don't we give you a chance
(Why oh why) put our life in you hands
(Why oh why) are we afraid to say you name
(Why oh why) is it because we want the fame
(Why oh why) did my homeboy have to take his life
(Why oh why) that homeless man's outside tonight
(Why oh why) when trouble comes we wanna pray
(Why oh why) our country pushes you away
Why oh why Lord tell me when our change is gone come

A native of Fort Worth, Texas, he was raised by his aunt, Gertrude Franklin. He developed a talent for music early, playing the piano at age four and becoming music director of his church at age eleven. After getting kicked out of school in his teenaged years, having a girlfriend become pregnant, and after a friend was shot to death he returned to the church. After leading the DFW Mass Choir at the 1990 Gospel Music Workshop of America Convention, he organized "The Family", a seventeen-voice choir, in 1992 and began his recording career.

He has integrated hip hop styles with gospel themes in albums such as The Nu Nation Project and God's Property, which achieved success on the Billboard Pop Album, R&B and gospel charts.
Franklin has collaborated with the biggest names in gospel music, including Tonex, Donnie McClurkin, Richard Smallwood, Crystal Lewis, Pastor Shirley Caesar, Jaci Valesquez, and Willie Neal Johnson.
