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
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?"
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?
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
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
