“Why” by NF

 

(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 mills’, still not impressed,
Let You Down goes triple platinum, yeah, okay, okay, I guess,
Smile for a moment, then these questions starting 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, 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 doing 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, whoa!

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 think, 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 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’, Whoa!

 

Nothing to me’s ever good enough,
I could be working for twenty four hours a day, and think I never did enough,
My life is a movie, but there ain’t no telling what you’re gonna see, in my cinema,
I wanna be great,
But I get it in the way of myself, and I think about everything that I could never be,
Why do I do it though? Ayy, yeah!

Why you always looking 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 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,

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