"Why" by Mickey Young explores themes of questioning societal norms, seeking personal purpose, and finding strength in faith. The elements that make up the song include:
Verse 1 delves into the artist's frustration with the education system and the dissemination of misinformation. The lyrics convey a desire to break free from societal expectations and think critically. The mention of "Savior Soul" suggests a reliance on faith to guide the artist's path.
The chorus emphasizes the importance of living life to the fullest, sharing truths, and finding happiness. The repetition of the question "God why am I still here?" reflects a search for meaning and a longing for divine guidance.
The hook reinforces the artist's belief that they are destined for a purpose, even in the face of uncertainty. It asks for the listener's support and prayers, indicating a need for encouragement and strength.
Verse 2 continues the theme of questioning societal norms and the pressure to conform. The lyrics highlight the artist's unique perspective and gifts, which are often overlooked or misunderstood. The reference to a "TRiBE" suggests a sense of community and shared values.
The post-hook once again asks for prayers, emphasizing the artist's vulnerability and reliance on spiritual support.
Overall, "Why" is a introspective and thought-provoking song that encourages listeners to challenge the status quo, seek their purpose, and find solace in their faith. It expresses the artist's desire to make a meaningful impact and invites others to join them on their journey.

Intro:
TRiBE!
Aw man...
Mickey!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Verse:
Yeah I'm in it (Yea!)
Been sitting in class as of late, like "wait, wait, wait..."
Pause on this ish, homie y'all don't get it
You raising yo' hand, but you still don't get it
They.... feed y'all lies, no question (no question!)
Brainwashed lessons, I'm skipping
Man a lame can't hang
I'm sick of getting phased by they shade, when I write A-grade, like I...
Grow 'cuz I don't know, if they just told me so
Savior Soul, question everything if it ain't Holy Ghost
Stay contemplating (Woo!)
And never letting school stunt my education (Woo!),
And sheep still learn, stay educated (Woo!)
Thanking Christ, 'cuz I know this light he showed me'll change a life.
Why?
Chorus:
'Cuz life is meant to be had
Truth is meant to be shared
People meant to be glad
Pray for me 'til I'm there
Aye what's my purpose?
Yo, life is meant to be had
Truth is meant to be shared
God why am I still here?!
God why am I still here?!
God why am I still here?!
Yo
Post-Chorus:
Why?!
I guess I'm meant to be
Ugh

(Why?!)
Aye

(Why?)
Can you still pray for me?
Verse:
Can you believe what you can't see?
Well You believe what they tell you (why?)
Eyeballs open show how they gone choke you, hope you gon' get by
Got a mind like an Edison, light bulb vision
Got screwed tryna fit in,
Did I not mention that a lame can't hang?
Aye,
Skip shade, I never complain, me reppin' a gang
I... tried to name my TRiBE
Wait, wait, wait...
Paused on this ish, when you still ain't get it
Right over your line of site where visors been sitting, aye
Over your head like a toe, y'all kissin
Got gifts that you all stay missing
Like I'm hanging around on Christmas with a gift y'all missed all pissed cuz my toe met lips
Get it?
Heh...
Still paused on it, meh
They don't want my paws on it
'Cuz every time my hands on this, order gets ripped, or they get pissed when my men'll pause on it
Like y'all could reproduce this anyway...
See this was inborn, not acquired
I still feel I'm preaching more to the choir
Goes to show the flow from up higher... Ahhh!
Chorus:
'Cuz life is meant to be had
Truth is meant to be shared
People meant to be glad
Pray for me 'til I'm there
Aye what's my purpose?
Yo, life is meant to be had
Truth is meant to be shared
God why am I still here?!
God why am I still here?!
God why am I still here?!
Yo
Post-Chorus:
Why?!
