Just Because

It ain’t the best of times
It ain’t the worst of times It ain’t poetry
just because it rhymes

You can change the name
But it’s still the same
Just because you call a shower gold
Don’t really change from whence it came

What are you, trying to put out a flame?
Just because, just because Say it don’t hurt, but it does 


Tellin’ me what sells
Well tell me something else
Who you’re sayin’ pushed you in
Just because you fell

Envy is a sin
But you got to play to win
Don’t ask me why you need to buy
It’s a ‘just because’ kind of world we’re living in
Is it new? Does it shine? Is it bigger than mine?
Just because, just because Say it don’t hurt, but it does

It ain’t the best of times
It ain’t the worst of times
You ain’t all that money
Just because you’re taking bribes

Everything’s a biz
Just call it what it is
Everything you want is just
Another and another ass to kiss
Getting dissed, get pissed
Because your name’s not on the list 
Just because, just because
Say it don’t hurt, but it does)
Don’t ask why your fate is so
Just because I say it’s so
