THAT'S WHY Lyrics

[00:06.57] That’s why, alright
[00:09.51] That’s why alright
[00:12.50] They switched some shit around when I was 16 (switched me around)
[00:16.51] My hair’s been falling out since I was 16 (it’s all fallen out)
[00:19.58] It started turning grey when I was 17 (it’s all falling)
[00:21.80] Feel like I had more shit to say when I was 17 (for whatever reason)
[00:25.03] Now my perception got so filtered my spaces are shrinking (that’s why)
[00:28.27] Like there’s no room for me in me with the way that I’m thinking (that’s why)
[00:31.00] This still (distill) some shit that keeps me pure if I (purify) just let it flow (that’s why)
[00:34.20] I gotta tap in while I’m sinking just to let em know (so that’s why, that’s why)
[00:48.89] I saw so many new horizons and did not pursue it (and that’s why)
[00:52.26] I sound like a broken record when I’m talking through it (that’s why)
[00:55.25] I shoulda roped them others in but didn’t wanna do it (that’s why)
[00:58.15] You might end up in my shot cause you were walking through it (that’s why)
[01:00.75] At the yellow light, treat it like a red (that’s why)
[01:03.57] Backing out my truth, agree it’s best unsaid (that’s why)
[01:06.90] I’m dying in this booth, all I see is red (that’s why)
[01:09.97] I’m fighting my excuse to get me off the ledge (that’s why)
[01:12.70] Cause if I jump I might survive and that scares me the most (that’s why)
[01:15.60] What I witness from afar only scares me from close (that’s why)
[01:18.59] What’s been keeping me afloat is barely a rope (that’s why)
[01:21.53] Every stranger that I pass is wearing my clothes
[01:24.39] So that’s why
[01:27.50] (That’s why, that’s, that’s why…)

[01:36.59] That’s why, alright
[01:39.45] That’s why, alright
[01:45.72] It don’t get any better than this life, life
[01:48.83] That’s why, alright
[01:51.95] That’s why, alright
[01:57.67] It don’t get any better than this life, life
[02:01.38] If I wasn’t me, would I still be me? (uh in the sense like)
[02:07.78] If I woke up in that other body
[02:26.55] That’s why, alright
[02:29.58] That’s why, alright
[02:35.43] It don’t get any better than this life, life
[02:39.01] That’s why, alright
[02:41.95] That’s why, alright
[02:48.35] It don’t get any better than this life, life uh
[02:51.60] That’s why, alright (If I wasn’t me, would I still be me)
[02:54.41] That’s why, alright (If I wasn’t me would I still be me)
[03:00.98] It don’t get any better than this life, life
[03:04.14] That’s why, alright (If I wasn’t me, would I still be me)
[03:07.21] That’s why, alright (If I wasn’t me, would I still be me)
[03:13.44] It don’t get any better than this life, life

[03:16.64] Every mirror in my life makes another blind spot (that’s why)
[03:20.14] Every ex that I got (that’s why)
[03:21.46] Asks the question why not (that’s why)
[03:23.38] Think my compass lies to me cause I keep putting it on the spot (that’s why)
[03:26.33] Listen for the true bearing, truth blaring on the knock (that’s why)
[03:29.53] There’s an offer from the offing but it only talks the talk (that’s why)
[03:32.64] That’s a sore sore spot
[03:34.18] That’s a sore sore (that’s why)
[03:36.01] Every mirror in my life makes another blind spot (that’s why)
[03:38.79] Everything that I got it’s a… mm
[03:41.90] (That’s why, that’s why)
[04:10.23] It don’t get any better than this life, life, life
[04:21.37]
