Songtext zu 'Why' von NF

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
