How Come?

Yo
As the universe expands
I contemplate whether it was God
or the Big Bang that made man
Sometimes I wonder how come
We can't live without guns
What would have been the outcome if the South won
Think about that son
What in the hell caused the assassination of Malcolm
The federal communications commission
listens to politicians in the position to 
Make certain decisions like puttin' minorities in prison
To decimating the population of women
It's called socialism
From the United States to the United Kingdom
Aahhkk, spit into the sky and extinguish the sun
but how come

In the future
The location is planet Earth
The time and date is 1999, December 31st 11:59 p.m. 
the anticipation of what I think's about to happen, got my heart 'beatin
We got less than a minute left before the planet Jupiter is united into a star
I know it sounds bizarre but it's mathematics
A specific sign for some of the planet's inhabitants
Those who understand know what I'm sayin' is accurate
Our country is corrupt from the president to the cabinet
In the year 2, followed by three 0's
The space probe Galileo will welcome us all to channel zero
but how come
