NF - WHY
[00:02.23] "WHY"
[00:15.88] Too many faces, too many faces, too many faces
[00:17.37] Yeah, what's your definition of success? (ayy!)
[00:18.87] I don't trust the thoughts that come inside my head (woo!)
[00:21.13] 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?
[00:27.37] Don't think I deserve it? You get no respect (woo!)
[00:29.87] I just made a couple mil', still not impressed
[00:31.87] Let You Down goes triple platinum, yeah, okay, okay, I guess (ayy!)
[00:35.12] Smile for a moment then these questions startin' to fill my head, not again!
[00:38.87] I push away the people that I love the most; why? (woo!)
[00:42.37] I don't want no one to know I'm vulnerable; why? (woo!)
[00:45.12] That makes me feel weak and so uncomfortable; why? (ayy!)
[00:48.37] Stop askin' me questions, I just wanna feel alive
[00:51.37] Until I die—this isn't Nate's flow (woo!)
[00:53.87] Just let me rhyme; I'm in disguise
[00:55.61] I'm a busy person, got no time for lies; one of a kind
[00:59.63] They don't see it; I pull out they eyes; I'm on the rise!
[01:02.62] I've been doin' this for most my life with no advice (woo!)
[01:05.62] Take my chances, I just roll the dice, do what I like
[01:08.62] As a kid, I was afraid of heights, put that aside
[01:11.63] Now I'm here and they look so surprised, well so am I, woo!
[01:14.62] They don't invite me to the parties but I still arrive
[01:18.37] Kick down the door and then I go inside
[01:20.62] Give off that "I do not belong here" vibe
[01:22.86] Then take the keys right off the counter, let's go for a ride
[01:25.87] Why do y'all look mortified? (ayy!)
[01:27.37] I keep to myself, they think I'm sorta shy, organized
[01:30.12] Let You Down's the only song you've heard of? Well then you're behind (woo!)
[01:33.11] Story time; wish that I could think like Big Sean does, but I just can't decide (aah!)
[01:36.63] If I should stick my knife inside of Pennywise
[01:39.37] I, I don't care what anybody else thinks—lies (haha!)
[01:42.87] I do not need nobody to help me—lies
[01:46.12] I kinda feel guilty 'cause I'm wealthy; why?
[01:48.87] I don't understand, it's got me questionin' like, "Why?
[01:52.12] Just tell me why"—now back to this flow
[01:54.62] Inside I feel divided
[01:56.38] Back when I ain't had a dime, but had the drive
[01:59.37] Back before I ever signed, I questioned life, like, "Who am I, man?" Woo!
[02:04.38] Nothin' to me's ever good enough
[02:05.37] I could be workin' for twenty-four hours a day and think I never did enough
[02:08.36] My life is a movie but there ain't no tellin' what you're gonna see in my cinema (no!)
[02:11.37] I wanna be great but I get it in the way of myself and I think about everything that I could never be
[02:15.37] Why do I do it though? Ayy, yeah
[02:16.87] Why you always lookin' aggravated?
[02:18.12] 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
[02:21.12] Like somethin' then I gotta take it
[02:22.63] Write somethin' then I might erase it
[02:25.38] I love it, then I really hate it
[02:27.13] What's the problem, Nathan? I don't know!
[02:28.87] I know I like to preach to always be yourself (yeah)
[02:31.62] But my emotions make me feel like I am someone else
[02:34.62] Me and pride had made a pact that we don't need no help
[02:37.37] Which feels like I'm at war inside myself but I forgot the shells
[02:40.62] I hold my issues up for all to see, like show and tell
[02:43.37] A lot of people know me, but, not a lot know me well
[02:46.38] Hold my issues up for all to see, like show and tell
[02:49.62] A lot of people know me, but, they don't know me well
[02:59.57] Too many faces, too many faces, too many faces
