stooges brass band - why lyrics

walter “whoadie” ramsey (spoken): this song is dedicated to joseph williams, our musician buddy that got k!lled by the new orleans police department back in 2004. oh why…

oh why (oh why)
oh why (oh why)
oh why (oh why)
oh why (oh why)

[chorus]
why they had to k!ll him?
they had the nerve, to say they protect and serve
oh why (oh why)
why they had to k!ll him?
they need to change they logo, ’cause we can’t trust the po+po

oh why (oh why)
oh why (oh why)
oh why (oh why)
oh why (oh why)

[verse]
i remember when we first met
you was just a little homie from another set
we used to hook up all thе time and do gigs, yo
we didn’t sound that good but we was kids, yo+look hеre!)
i remember when you joined the band
do you remember bryan’s mama made them silly looking hats, man?
all of them meetings we used to have
when e+jo and buzz used to fuss about they cash
[chorus]
why they had to k!ll him?
they had the nerve, to say they protect and serve
oh why (oh why)
why they had to k!ll him?
they need to change they logo, ’cause we can’t trust the po+po

[verse]
i was mad at you for some sh+t
but i kept it real, homie, i ain’t never quit
even when times you would p+wn your trombone
i would go and get it ’cause i know i need your h+rn
august the third and my cell phone ring
somebody telling me i just lost my friend
i’m calling out to god ’cause i’m asking him why
he told me, “whoadie, dry your eyes, there’s no need to cry
it was all a part of the plan, my friend
for joseph and his mama to united again”
“but god, what they did him was wrong
they call it self defense, but that was murder all along!
they didn’t have to do him like that
he told me, “don’t worry about it, we gonna handle that”
he said, “i understand, my son
but believe in him me and justice will be done”

[chorus]
why they had to k!ll him?
they had the nerve, to say they protect and serve
oh why (oh why)
why they had to k!ll him?
they need to change they logo, ’cause we can’t trust the po+po
[verse]
a few gigs done passed and iced cases on the shelf
police, they don’t investigate they own self
they took their people off the street, sign them to the desk
a+plus, y’all, they gave them boys a bonus check
high five, for all who watched him die!
rounds on the lieutenant, who cares who cries?
there’s no justice in the system
it didn’t even bother them that they k!lled a young musician
protect and serve? (not for people like us)
we get arrested playing gigs (tryna make a couple bucks)
they use us for all of their political things
and when they win they election
then they change the game
no permits for them gigs (that we used to play)
they give us summons (try and take our music away)
i said, thank you for destroying us and k!lling our folks
the police and the system

[chorus]
why they had to k!ll him?
they had the nerve, to say they protect and serve
oh why (oh why)
why they had to k!ll him?
they need to change they logo, ’cause we can’t trust the po+po
[bridge]
(man, i miss my dog…)
we used to rock together, we used to hop together, we used to knock
(man, i miss my dog…)
dog we used to sing together, we used to hang together, we used to
(man, i miss my dog…)
d+mn, i miss you joseph! d+mn, i miss you joseph!
(man, i miss my dog…)
d+mn, i miss you joseph!
man, i miss my dog (man, i miss my dog)
playing the trombone (playing the trombone)
man, i miss my dog (man, i miss my dog)
he used to play the trombone (play the trombone)
man, i miss my dog (man, i miss my dog)
man, i miss my dog (man, i miss my dog)

we all gon’ miss joseph
we all gon’ miss joseph
we all gon’ miss joseph
we all gon’ miss joseph

we can’t change they logo (we can’t change they logo)
we can’t change they logo (we can’t change they logo)
we can’t change they logo (we can’t change they logo)
so we’re “like f+ck the po+po!”
we can’t change they logo (we can’t change they logo)
we can’t change they logo (we can’t change they logo)
we can’t change they logo (we can’t change they logo)
so we don’t trust the po+po!

we all gon’ miss joseph
we all gon’ miss joseph
we all gon’ miss joseph
we all gon’ miss joseph

this song is dedicated to joseph williams. we miss you, homie!
come on! put your lighters up. put your cell phones in the air!
it’s not the same without you, bro
you gonna always remain in our heart ’til the day we die
stooges family always stay alive
stooges for life! all the way to the end!
shotgun joe!

r.i.p. shotgun joe!
like a smoking gun!
like a smoking gun!
i know somebody else got somebody out there!

we all gon’ miss joseph
we all gon’ miss joseph
we all gon’ miss joseph
we all gon’ miss joseph
