Liberta, liberta (*repeats into chorus*) 
 
  
  (Why me?) Why my life had to be so rough 
 
 (Why me?) Why the fuck I had such bad luck 
 
 (Why me?) Why the judge wanna lock me up 
 
 Throw away the key and watch me rust 
  
 
 [Cuban Link] 
 
 Yo crack lets get a nine 
 
 My mind's trapped behind enemy lines 
 
 The scent of weed got me thinkin I remember the time 
 
 1979 they planned a biological test 
 
 The doctor said I'll be fine and planted a mic in my chest 
 
 It's high tech, I got the fuckin feds tracing my steps 
 
 So what's next? A bar code on the back of my neck 
 
 I'm in the U.S. and Fidel still got shit in check 
 
 Elian cryin freedom while he's facin the tec 
 
 I'm probably waistin my breath 
 
 Ain't no changin what's left 
 
 Start placin your bets cause we all race against death 
 
 Shit be makin me vexed, cause I know the truth 
 
 In this game you never win and always loose 
 
 Even when you show and prove 
 
 Fuck the boys in blue for tryin to set me up 
 
 And I ain't snitchin pigs, you gon hafta wet me up 
 
 I'm from the streets where we handle beef with lead slugs 
 
 So take caution, cause our protection sucks 
  
 
 [Chorus] 
  
 
 (Why me?) Why my life had to be so rough 
 
 (Why me?) Why the fuck I had such bad luck 
 
 (Why me?) Why the judge wanna lock me up 
 
 Throw away the key and watch me rust, still in God I trust 
 
 (Why me?) Why these motherfuckers watchin me 
 
 (Why me?) Why they actin like we coppin ki's 
 
 (Why me?) Why these homies and clowns goin around clonin the town down 
 
 Tryin to throw me with Gotti under the ground 
  
 
 [Fat Joe] 
 
 Yo niggaz call me Joe the Don 
 
 Been in this rap game for nine years and going strong 
 
 Still holdin on, still rollin on bitch made figgas 
 
 We sick of crazed niggaz that's quick to lay niggaz 
 
 If Pac was here would these niggaz be shinin 
 
 Would half these rappers be rappin' so violent 
 
 Cold figure, bow down to no nigga 
 
 Yeah them cats got rhymes but I flow sicker 
 
 For the po' niggaz that drink more liquor 
 
 Shoot up clubs and love to clip the chrome triggers 
 
 Don't get your dough split up man 
 
 You fuckin with the wrong guys 
 
 You won't like it where you gon' lie 
 
 And that's six feet hit you with twin piece 
 
 Double desert man it's pleasant when the grim reaps 
 
 Shit's deep but you gotta love it 
 
 I put the shotti to ya stomach 
 
 catch your body if you feel for nothin 
  
 
 [Chorus 2X] 
 
 (Why me?) Why these motherfuckers watchin me 
 
 (Why me?) Why they actin like we got the keys 
 
 (Why me?) Why these homies and clowns goin around clonin the town down 
 
 Tryin to throw me with Gotti under the ground 
 
 (Why me?) Why my life had to be so rough 
 
 (Why me?) Why the fuck I had such bad luck 
 
 (Why me?) Why the judge wanna lock me up 
 
 Throw away the key and watch me rust, still in God I trust
