NF - WHY

[00:12.20] Too many faces, too many faces, too many faces

[00:14.46] Yeah, what's your definition of success? (ayy!)

[00:18.03] I don't trust the thoughts that come inside my head (woo!)

[00:20.63] I don't trust this thing that beats inside my chest

[00:24.12] Who I am and who I wanna be can not connect; why?

[00:26.64] Don't think I deserve it? You get no respect (woo!)

[00:30.12] I just made a couple mil', still not impressed

[00:31.86] Let You Down goes triple platinum, yeah, okay, okay, I guess (ayy!)

[00:34.12] Smile for a moment then these questions startin' to fill my head, not again!

[00:38.43] I push away the people that I love the most; why? (woo!)

[00:41.99] I don't want no one to know I'm vulnerable; why? (woo!)

[00:44.62] That makes me feel weak and so uncomfortable; why? (ayy!)

[00:47.96] Stop askin' me questions, I just wanna feel alive

[00:51.01] Until I die—this isn't Nate's flow (woo!)

[00:53.87] Just let me rhyme; I'm in disguise

[00:55.62] I'm a busy person, got no time for lies; one of a kind

[00:59.47] They don't see it; I pull out they eyes; I'm on the rise!

[01:02.76] I've been doin' this for most my life with no advice (woo!)

[01:04.87] Take my chances, I just roll the dice, do what I like

[01:08.87] As a kid, I was afraid of heights, put that aside

[01:11.40] Now I'm here and they look so surprised, well so am I, woo!

[01:14.78] They don't invite me to the parties but I still arrive

[01:17.63] Kick down the door and then I go inside

[01:20.43] Give off that "I do not belong here" vibe

[01:22.64] Then take the keys right off the counter, let's go for a ride

[01:25.62] Why do y'all look mortified? (ayy!)

[01:27.62] I keep to myself, they think I'm sorta shy, organized

[01:29.62] Let You Down's the only song you've heard of? Well then you're behind (woo!)

[01:33.44] Story time; wish that I could think like Big Sean does, but I just can't decide (aah!)

[01:37.04] If I should stick my knife inside of Pennywise

[01:39.12] I, I don't care what anybody else thinks—lies (haha!)

[01:42.44] I do not need nobody to help me—lies

[01:45.75] I kinda feel guilty 'cause I'm wealthy; why?

[01:48.72] I don't understand, it's got me questionin' like, "Why?

[01:51.78] Just tell me why"—now back to this flow

[01:54.38] Inside I feel divided

[01:56.75] Back when I ain't had a dime, but had the drive

[01:59.87] Back before I ever signed, I questioned life, like, "Who am I, man?" Woo!

[02:04.70] Nothin' to me's ever good enough

[02:05.77] I could be workin' for twenty-four hours a day and think I never did enough

[02:08.37] My life is a movie but there ain't no tellin' what you're gonna see in my cinema (no!)

[02:11.47] I wanna be great but I get it in the way of myself and I think about everything that I could never be

[02:15.18] Why do I do it though? Ayy, yeah

[02:16.87] Why you always lookin' aggravated?

[02:18.11] Not a choice, you know I had to make it

[02:19.62] When they talk about the greatest, they gon' probably never put us in the conversation

[02:22.37] Like somethin' then I gotta take it

[02:24.37] Write somethin' then I might erase it

[02:25.88] I love it, then I really hate it

[02:27.15] What's the problem, Nathan? I don't know!

[02:28.30] I know I like to preach to always be yourself (yeah)

[02:31.12] But my emotions make me feel like I am someone else

[02:34.37] Me and pride had made a pact that we don't need no help

[02:37.12] Which feels like I'm at war inside myself but I forgot the shells

[02:40.24] I hold my issues up for all to see, like show and tell

[02:43.68] A lot of people know me, but, not a lot know me well

[02:46.46] Hold my issues up for all to see, like show and tell

[02:49.71] A lot of people know me, but, they don't know me well

[02:55.18] Too many faces, too many faces, too many faces
