Why (about 5:12 long)
Nate Dogg
Gridlock’d Soundtrack
Lyrics By Chris Reid version 1.0


Why.....
Did my homie havta die.....
With the tears in my eyes.....
I came to say goodbye
Why.....
Did my homie havta die.....
With the tears in my eyes.....
I came to say goodbye

Just passing through to let you know that I remember the times we shared
You mother prayed for us both night and day, I guess this is what she feared
The picture in my room keeps your image sharply in my head
I just can’t let go of the memories I have will this madness ever end?

Why.....
Did my homie havta die.....
With the tears in my eyes.....
I came to say goodbye
Why.....
Did my homie havta die.....
With the tears in my eyes.....
I came to say goodbye

Sometimes I wonder if it’s better to be free or be in jail
Incarceration at this time to me is better than heaven or hell
I often wonder if you’d still be here if you had worn your vest
You’re most likely come see me we’ll all be a memory if we don’t change this mess
Change it or we’re doomed yall

Why.....
Did my homie havta die.....
With the tears in my eyes.....
I came to say goodbye
Why.....
Did my homie havta die.....
With the tears in my eyes.....
I came to say goodbye

I’m passing through to let you know
That I’m going to tell everyone I know
How we used to send them to the floor
As we, as we forgot to mourn

Oh how long, how long, how long will they mourn
Mourn.... How long...
How long.... How long with they mourn
Why.....
Did my homie havta die.....
With the tears in my eyes.....
I came to say goodbye
Why.....
Did my homie havta die.....
With the tears in my eyes.....
I came to say goodbye
