Lyrics

Why

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Yeah

What’s your definition of success?

I don’t trust the thoughts that come inside my head

I don’t trust this thing that beats inside my chest

Who I am and who I wanna be cannot connect

Why?

Don’t think I deserve it you give no respect

I just made a couple mill still not impressed

Let You Down goes triple platinum

Yeah okay okay I guess

Smile for a moment then these questions start to fill my head

Not again

I push away the people that I love the most

Why?

I don’t want no one to know I’m vulnerable

Why?

That makes me feel weak and so uncomfortable

Why?

Stop asking me questions I just wanna feel alive

Until I die

This isn’t Nate’s flow

Just let me rhyme

I’m in disguise

I’m a busy person person got no time for lies

One of a kind

They don’t see it I pull out their eyes

I’m on the rise

I’ve been doin this for most my life

With no advice

Take my changes

I just roll the dice

Do what I like

As a kid I was afraid of heights

Put that aside

Now I’m here and they look so surprised

Well so am I, whoo

They don’t invite me to the parties, but I still arrive

Kick down the door and then I go inside

Give off that 'I dot not belong here' vibe

Then take the keys right off that counter let’s go for a ride

Why do y’all look mortified

I keep to myself

They think I’m sorta shy

Organized

Let You Down’s the only song you’ve heard of, well, then you’re behind

Story time

Wish that I could think like Big Sean does but I just can’t decide

If I should stick my knife inside of Pennywise

I

I don’t care what anybody else thinks

Lies

I do not need nobody to help me

Lies

I kind of feel guilty cause I’m wealthy

Why?

I don’t understand this

Got me questioning like

Why? Just tell me why

Not back to this flow

Inside I feel divided

Back when I ain’t had a dime

But had the drive

Back before I ever signed

I questioned life like

'Who am I, man? ' Whoo

Nothing to me’s ever good enough

I could be working with 24 hours a day and think I never did enough

My life is a movie, but there ain’t no tellin’

What your gonna see in my cinema

I wanna be great, but I get in the way of myself

And I think about everything that I could never be

Why do I do it tho? Hey

Why you always lookin’ aggravated?

Not a choice, you know I had to make it

When they talk about the greatest

They goin’ prolly never put us in the conversation

Like something, then I gotta take it

Write something, then I might erase it

I love it then I really hate it

What’s the problem Nathan? I don’t know!

I know I like to preach to always be yourself

But my emotions make me feel like I am someone else

Me and pride had made a pact that we don’t need no help

Which feels like I’m at war inside myself, but I forgot the shells

I hold my issues up for all to see, like show and tell

A lot of people know me, but not a lot know me well

Hold my issues up for all to see, like show and tell

A lot of people know me, but they don’t know me well
