Phil Beaudreau, Dawaun Parker - This Is Why lyrics

AOE, we are!
Yeah, and tell me why would you do it?
You love it when you have it
But you cry when you lose it
This is my type of music
They say that you ain't real till
You die for the movement
I'd rather live for the moment
Dream vision and show it you know it

You know they say you gotta live for yourself
Love kills and everything else is hell
Like the ones that the story seem
To know it too well
They keep us broken so their lies can sell
Like stories of the walls coming down
Stories of fuse on the ground
Coming home to the prowl and the loud shout
Look up how we've come to now
Would you look at what we've done
For the good of this town?
But is anybody seeing what I'm seeing
No heart, no pulse, but we're bleeding
Go to sleep, keep American dreaming
We're not just meat that a fat man's biting
We should know about it now
Everything's made so we can stay
In the house sitting down
Like a good dog, and never come out

This is why we're here
On the rock in the sky
In a world without wonder
And we're wondering wild this is how we are
Take the love out of life
When we take from another
We're just left with the lie yeah

I just really wanna know what's going on
See about who the men in
Black cars really are we're here to talk
Take the black shades fully off
Look me in the eyes
Then tell me that we're better off
For putting kids in caskets
And all your bastards
Who're giving guns for gain of the rich
With fat pockets in they're wives fat asses
Have a good laugh and cling those glasses
'Cause the world is starting to feel
Something that's wrong with the
One at the wheel
And we're coming down hard, bigger ideas
To let the rest of us
Down from under your heels
But, you should know by now
Anything made so we can fly
Gotta fall to the ground
Some day, and everyone does

This is why we're here
On the rock in the sky
In a world without wonder
And we're wondering wild this is how we are
Take the love out of life
When we take from another
We're just left with the lie yeah

Yeah, huh it's like a vision of RCA
A good doggy never leave
She just barks and plays
Obey what you're told
You break the mold, then it's over
You can be the good boy, I'ma be your soldier
This is why the country is still slipping
The vultures is still picking
The corpse is still living
Zombies sitting on the porch swing swinging
Democratic, Republican
What a fuck is the difference?
Posing for pictures and
Trying portraying images
Something you never will be and
Never was to begin with
You're just a template, a cut-out
Do the wrong thing and get sniffed out
That's when they put the cuffs out
They took the love out
We're left with the lies
I have no disguise, no verdict, no alibis
I never wonder why
I just follow where I'm going through
Know who you are
Follow what you know it's true
It's overdue when the game's all screw face
Everybody talking out their neck or two face
Bootleg is the new real, no shoelace
Trapped underneath the boot heel
Drinking Kool-Aid
And it's only getting realer
Prescription the new crap
The doctor's the new dealer
Absolute mix with something smooth
That will kill ya
Sipping Molotovs, till I feel bust
And my mind is spinning my eyes are glassy
Drunk of these lies they pass me
Every rotation but they don't ask me
And bullshit pain out of Tallahassee
No disrespect to the artist though
My calling is to say what we already know
It must come down if it's up in the sky
And I ain't saying how
I'm telling you this is why
