Why you gotta?

My latest work.

Why you gotta be so shady? 

Never say what you mean? 

Why you gotta constantly ask, 

Fishing for what I gleaned? 

Why you gotta play avoidance? 

Just be a f*****g man! 

Own up to what you said and did, 

Don't place it in another's hands. 

Why you gotta try and play, 

These little high school games? 

You'd think that we're both more grown, 

But I guess you have no shame. 

Why you gotta jack around? 

Answer me, don't stutter... 

All your avoidance ever does, 

Is throw my trust in the gutter. 

 Why you gotta avoid the truth? 

I ain't taking no more lies. 

I don't gotta play your games, 

So this is my goodbye.
