[Verse 1]
I know his dad's abusive and his mum prefers the daughter
I know he's got an attention deficiency disorder
He is culturally excluded and genetically inbred
But the reason he's a homeboy is because he's a dickhead

[Chorus]
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why he's a homeboy?
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why? (Why, why, why, why)

[Verse 2]
We all support empowerment and positive discrimination
When your class, your race, your age, your face determines your social station
A baseball cap and a love of rap, might need sympathy but still
Possibly a homeboy could be a dickhead pure and simple

[Chorus]
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why he's a homeboy?
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why? (Why, why, why, why)

[Verse 3]
In The Brothers Karamazov, here's what Dostoyevsky said
"Know your enemy well enough and you will pity them instead"
Pity soon will turn to love is what Jesus Christ once knew
They changed their minds the day when they met a homeboy crew

[Outro]
We're in their count–
We're in their country
We're in their count–
We're in their country
Why, why, why, why
Why, why, why, why
