Why

(Too many faces, too many faces, too many faces)

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 get no respect

I just made a couple mil', still not impressed

"Let You Down," goes triple platinum, yeah, okay, okay, I guess

Smile for a moment then these questions startin' 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 askin' 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, got no time for lies, one of a kind

They don't see it, I pull out they eyes, I'm on the rise

I've been doin' this for most my life with no advice

Take my chances, 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, woo

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 do not belong here" vibe

Then take the keys right off the 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 kinda feel guilty 'cause I'm wealthy, why?

I don't understand, it's got me questionin' 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?" Woo

Nothin' to me's ever good enough

I could be workin' for 24 hours a day and think I never did enough

My life is a movie but there ain't no tellin' what you're 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 though?

Ay, yeah

Why you always lookin' aggravated?

Not a choice, you know I had to make it

When they talk about the greatest, they gon' probably never put us in the conversation

Like somethin', then I gotta take it

Write somethin', 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
