Wonder Lyrics

I wonder how many are listening now,
Sayin' they feel it but for a milly, they'd kill me and smile,
Uh, how many have went ridiculous miles,
To hit a chick and wont drive 5 minutes to visit their child?
How many sittin' in prison, missin' their seed,
While the one who really committed the deed is chillin' and free?
He got stripes for not snitchin' - indeed,
But I don't know if "stripes" is something his children can eat,
Why if somebody breaks in your 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's 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...

I wonder where we're going,
If we never turn away,
Are we just headed for destruction any day?

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 making them keep it inside,
Why is it legal to teach people evolution,
When it's only a theory and no one has ever proved it?
So if my child is a believer in a 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're priced at forty,
So I don't make much off 'em but the hood can afford it,
You probably look at them corny,
But if I charge two-hundred, you'd probably be waiting in line like you do for them Jordans,
Why you wanna keep a good chick and cheat with a bad chick?
But you don't want your good chick to be like that chick?
And knock whats good for us to chase what's bad,
and neglect what we got for what we can't have,
Why?

I wonder where we're going,
If we never turn away,
Are we just headed for destruction any day?

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 healing the same one's they make ill,
Why do we fall for it? Why do we complain?
But keep doing 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,
Because other black men have stolen, they can hold you to blame?
Why are we so biased? Why do we not care what's fair,
Until 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 99 is you?
