Lyrics
[Intro – muted trap snare, distant vocal hum]
Yo, tell me why, please will you tell me?
Oh Lord, can you please come and guide me?
[Verse 1 – deep 808 bass, sharp hi-hats]
Tell me why, oh why, why do soldiers have to go to war?
If I don't understand what we're fighting for
They got us down, pushing us to the edge
I don't want to live in this hell, I'm just trying to fly away
[Pre-Chorus – building synth pad, rising tension]
Lord, can you tell me please?
Why do we bow down here, praying on our knees?
Oh Lord, will you tell me why?
Can you tell me why we got to hit the war zone?
[Chorus – full trap beat, layered vocals]
Tell me why, oh why, oh why do soldiers have to die?
Tell me why mothers have to cry?
I don't want to shed another tear from my lonely eye
Trying to understand why we're stuck in this hell hole
[Verse 2 – intensified 808, snare roll accents]
Some of my brothers never made it back home
I don't want to go if I don't have to, but I got to, they're my own
I ain't leaving, that's not okay
I'll always be there to protect him, come what may
[Pre-Chorus – more urgent synth, faster hi-hats]
In any way that I can, even if I fall I'll give it a try
Cuz I know we won't fall to defeat, I don't buy
The good Lord better walk by my side, walk with my soldiers
We can make it through the night, through the coldest winters
[Chorus – distorted bass, ad-libs layered in]
Tell me why, oh why, oh why do soldiers have to die?
Tell me why mothers have to cry?
I don't want to shed another tear from my lonely eye
Trying to understand why we're stuck in this hell hole
[Bridge – sparse beat, atmospheric echo on vocals]
Days of rain, pain, games, and fools coming at me
I don't want to ever lose another soul, can't you see?
We're living in a pit with snakes trying to take what's ours
But they won't succeed, me and my soldiers stand tall
[Verse 3 – stripped-back beat, raw spoken-word delivery]
We be marching for the kids, yeah, I said it many times
For the ones who don't get to choose their lives
Oh Lord please can you guide me when you walk by my side
Keep my brothers safe, keep our hope alive
[Final Chorus – full instrumental, maximum intensity]
Tell me why, oh why, oh why do soldiers have to die?
Tell me why mothers have to cry?
I don't want to shed another tear from my lonely eye
Trying to understand why we're stuck in this hell hole
[Outro – fading beat, soft vocal hum]
Yo, tell me why, please will you tell me?
Oh Lord, can you please come and guide me?
