I won't start with you that easy And it's known you cannot see straight But this time next year you won't be here so Why the boogie down? Forever eighteen Everything you've done is wrong No sense of yourself Your life just watered down Is this what failing looked like to you? I do wonder if you know The ones you've taken through the roll But for now you cannot ask for more so Why the boogie down? Brothers, sisters, fathers and mothers You've always pushed them to get ahead And again you fall back on your face so Why the boogie down? Sixty years Everything you've done is wrong No sense of yourself Your life just watered down Is this what you thought it would be like? Who are you? I know you know that Your life would be better Without you there And after all After lying for so long You have to admit It's what makes you hate Is this what makes you hate? What I'm trying to say is Look you got what you wanted so Why you always so mad like that? And why the boogie down? Given so many chances Is this that grudge that turns you away? Why so much hate? There's enough in this world so Why the boogie down? Down
