Denver

[00:00.11] Wonder, oh why this ever had to be?
[00:07.53] Uh-huh
[00:12.07] So many losing hope in those dreams that they
[00:21.55] Walking past the homeless in a Rolex
[00:23.62] Just got off the stage on the Today Show and I basically felt soulless
[00:27.12] Years go by and I keep saying I'm gon' use my phone less
[00:29.98] But I should just be phone-less
[00:31.49] Ignorance is bliss and so is being underground 'cause it was fun when we were known less
[00:35.30] Sorry, that's cliché, I know I'm so blessed
[00:37.33] But Jason keeps on telling me "Say yes" and truth be told, I know he knows best
[00:40.96] But I don't wanna do no press
[00:42.76] I've seen enough of me on this lil' screen
[00:44.89] I've become so vain and insecure 'bout everything
[00:47.82] I feel all this pressure to live up to what they tell me I'm gon' be
[00:51.18] So I isolate myself, you can't help me it's on me
[00:54.68] I'm hiding any sign of weakness from my guys
[00:57.36] I don't want 'em second-guessing with me
[00:59.43] Nemo said to keep my foot on necks 'cause I can't let 'em just forget me
[01:02.73] But the brags in my raps are getting less and less convincing
[01:06.04] So I'd rather just
[01:06.67] Wonder, oh why this ever had to be?
[01:17.46] So many losing hope in those dreams that they
[01:27.49] I wrote that first verse in Denver back in September
[01:30.28] It's January now and I'm feeling like myself again
[01:32.93] I got Angel back in here, I need his help again
[01:36.06] I'm taking time away but wondering what a healthy helping is
[01:38.70] Fuck it, they gon' check for me, I tell myself and tell my friends
[01:41.37] Avoiding any talks about the elephant
[01:44.08] Chalking up the hate to jealousy and just embellishments
[01:47.61] But deep down, I find myself wondering if the people that write about are right about me
[01:52.07] And I wonder if my exes are oversharing 'cause they know a lot about me
[01:56.10] I'm a long way from Shelby County
[01:57.65] I been through some local tension, heard talks of a healthy bounty
[02:00.44] Sober and focused, I cannot walk down no deli alleys
[02:03.05] I still got the fellas 'round me, I love 'em and tell 'em proudly
[02:05.87] My mama needs help adjusting, my father need help accounting
[02:08.48] I'm looking out heaven's window
[02:09.94] I know that there's hell around me and
[02:11.68] Wonder, oh why this ever had to be?
[02:23.47] So many losing hope in those dreams that they
