Tell Me Why Lyrics
- Put your lighters up
- Put your lighters up
- Put your lighters up
- They will fight 'till extinction
- Using nations as weapons
- I've been gone for a while but don't watch that
- Cus now I'm back ready to show all these whack rappers how to rap
- Type my name on youtube and watch that, get the picture. Yep
- I'm the biggest threat to your little rep on the internet
- Forget Channel U don't watch that, no one spits facts
- And since Wifey Riddim everybody's making chit chats
- But when my vid drops and you watch that, you'll be seeing why
- There's a big difference between me and the meaty guys
- MTV cribs I don't watch that, the greed sickens me
- I guess I just look at the world and see it differently
- Kids starving to death and when I watch that, I cry inside
- How can rappers live in yards that type of size
- Kids film happy slaps and they watch that, then text their friends
- Generations of degenerates, will it never end?
- The Twin Towers fell and we watched that
- It was controlled demolition, there was no terrorism; it's not that
-
Hook
- Put your lighters up
- Put your lighters up
- Put your lighters up
- They will fight 'till extinction
- Using nations as weapons
-
Lowkey
- Youths get the Scarface movie and watch that, live that violent dream
- They shoulda watched more carefully in the final scene
- Forget Big Brother don't watch that, even if the other TV's shit
- You can't spend your life watching people live
- Turn off Fox News, don't watch that - read a book
- Glance back at history 'cus we need to look
- They film us on CCTV and watch that, are we catalogue humans?
- Oyster cards stay tracking our movements
- Forget Myspace don't watch that, I ain't feeding Murdock
- Or looking at girls posing with their skirts off
- Forget profile hits, don't watch that, I know people can tell
- Those numbers don't equal yourselves
- Forget Borat, don't watch that, it ain't funny fam
- And that's start of something bigger than you understand
- And there's talk on the road but don't watch that, 'cus I'm well known
- And wherever I go my name rings like a cellphone
-
Hook
- Put your lighters up
- Put your lighters up
- Put your lighters up
- They will fight 'till extinction
- Using nations as weapons
