Wonder [Bonus]
[Intro]
Uh
[Verse 1]
I wonder how many are listenin' now
Sayin' they feel it, but for a milli', 'd kill me and smile, uh
Uh, how many have went ridiculous miles
To hit a chick and won't drive five minutes to visit theu child?
How many sittin' in prison, missin' they seed
While the one who really committed the deed is chillin' and free? (Uh)
He got stripes for not snitchin', indeed
But I don't know if 'stripes' is something his children can eat
Why if somebody break in yo' car, you ask who did it?
Like, if you ask and I answer you, that ain't snitchin'
But if he asks and you did it, somehow, that's different
How come the rules change when it's you in the bad predicament?
Why is it that we treat God like He a chick?
We claim to love Him, but just not enough to commit
We take advantage of the fact that He's just to forgive
But if He ever left you alone, you'd cry like a wimp
Real talk
[Chorus]
I wonder where we're goin' (Oh)
If we never turn away (Oh, oh, oh)
Are we just headed for destruction
Any day? (Oh)
[Verse 2]
I wonder, how many people alive
Make a livin' off of what causes other people to die?
And out of those, how many know and eats them alive
But the Beamer they drive is makin' them keep it inside?
Why is it legal to teach people of evolution
When it's only a theory and no one has ever proved it?
So if my child's a believer in the God he can't bring up in school
Why is it cool for you to confuse him?
Why if I come out with shoes and they priced at forty
So I don't make much off 'em, but the hood can afford it
Probably look at them corny, but if I charged two-hundred
You'd probably be waitin' in line like you do for them Jordans
Why you wanna keep a good chick and cheat wit' a bad chick?
But you don't want your good chick to be like that chick?
And knock what's good for us to chase what's bad
And neglect what we got for what we can't have
Why?
[Chorus]
I wonder where we're goin' (Oh)
If we never turn away (Oh, oh, oh)
Are we just headed for destruction
Any day? (Oh)
[Verse 3]
Why is alcohol legal and cigarettes cool
As long as the government is gettin' theirs too?
Same reason prostitution is illegal 'til you tape it
And call it "pornography", and now, it's merely entertainment
Why they sell us fast food, then they sell us weight pills?
Makin' a mill', healin' the same ones they make ill
Why do we fall for it? Why do we complain
But keep doin' the same things? Why don't we change?
Why if you see one pastor that's phony and fake
You toss Christ out with the church and throw Him away?
So I guess when they pull you over based solely on race
'Cause other black men have stolen, they can hold you to blame?
Why are we so biased? Why do we not care what's fair
'Til it's us that the injustice bothers?
There's a lot of poor hoods many turn a blind eye to
Why do you only occupy when the ninety-nine's you?
[Chorus]
I wonder where we're goin' (Oh)
If we never turn away (Oh, oh, oh)
Are we just headed for destruction
Any day? (Oh)
