Why Me? (Ice Cube song)

Why Me? (Ice Cube song)

"Why Me?" is a song by American artist Ice Cube, released September 24, 2008 as the third single from his eighth solo studio album, "Raw Footage".

David Jeffries of Allmusic stated that the '187 in "Why Me?" could be a metaphor for the attacks from Cube's detractors ("You want to take the life God handed to me/Send it back to him 'cuz you ain't a fan of me")'. [http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:3ifuxzwkldae]
