Wonder, oh, why this ever had to be? (Uh-huh)
So many losing hope in those dreams that they—
[Verse 1]
Walkin' past the homeless in a Rolex
Just got off the stage on the TODAY Show and I basically felt soulless
Years go by and I keep saying I'm gon' use my phone less
But I should just be phone-less
Ignorance is bliss and so is bein' underground
Cause it was fun when we were known less
Sorry, that's cliche, I know I'm so blessed
But Jason keeps on tellin' me, "Say yes"
And truth be told, I know he knows best
But I don't wanna do no press
I've seen enough of me on this lil' screen
I've become so vain and insecure 'bout everything
I feel all this pressure to live up to what they tell me I'm gon' be
So I isolate myself, you can't help me, it's on me
I'm hidin' any sign of weakness from my guys
I don't want 'em second-guessin' with me
Nemo said to keep my foot on necks 'cause I can't let 'em just forget me
But the brags in my raps are getting less and less convincing
So I'd rather just (Wonder)
[Chorus]
Oh, why this ever had to be?
So many losing hope in those dreams that they—
[Verse 2]
I wrote that first verse in Denver back in September
It's January now and I'm feelin' like myself again
I got Angel back in here, I need his help again
I'm takin' time away but wonderin' what a healthy helping is
Fuck it, they gon' check for me, I tell myself and tell my friends
Avoidin' any talks about the elephant
Chalkin' up the hate to jealousy and just embellishments
But deep down, I find myself wonderin'
If the people that write about are right about me
And I wonder if my exes are oversharin' 'cause they know a lot about me
I'm a long way from Shelby County
I been through some local tension, heard talks of a healthy bounty
Sober and focused, I cannot walk down no deli alleys
I still got the fellas 'round me, I love 'em and tell 'em proudly
My mama needs help adjusting, my father need help accounting
I'm lookin' out heaven's window, I know that there's hell around me and—
[Chorus]
Wonder, oh, why this ever had to be?
So many losing hope in those dreams that they—
Pitam se, oh, zašto je to ikad moralo biti? (Uh-huh)
Toliko gubitka nade u onim snovima koji-
[VERSE 1]
Hodajući pored beskućnika u rolexu
Upravo sam sišao sa pozornice na današnjem emisiji i u osnovi sam se osjećao bezdušnost
Godine prolaze i stalno kažem da sam gon 'Koristi moj telefon manje
Ali ja bih trebao biti manje telefona
Neznanje je blaženstvo i tako se nalazi pod zemljom
Jer je bilo zabavno kad smo bili znatni
Izvini, to je kliše, znam da sam tako blagoslovljen
Ali Jason me stalno kaže: "Reci da"
I istina se kaže, znam da on najbolje zna
Ali ne želim da ne učinim štampu
Vidio sam dovoljno mene na ovom lilu ekranu
Postao sam tako uzalud i nesiguran '
Osjećam sav taj pritisak da bih mogao živjeti do onoga što mi kažu da sam gon
Tako da izoliram sebe, ne možete mi pomoći, na meni je
Sakrivam bilo koji znak slabosti od mojih momaka
Ne želim da ih drugi pogađaju sa mnom
Nemo je rekao da mi zadrži stopalo na vratove jer ne mogu pustiti da me samo zaborave
Ali hvataljke u mojim rapama postaju sve manje i manje uvjerljive
Pa bih radije samo (pitao)
[Chorus]
Oh, zašto je to ikad moralo biti?
Toliko gubitka nade u onim snovima koji-
[VERSE 2]
Napisao sam taj prvi stih u Denveru u septembru
Sada je januar i opet se osjećam kao sebe
Ovdje sam dobio anđeo, trebam opet njegova pomoć
Odmaram se, ali pitam se šta je zdrava pomoć
Jebi se, oni provere za mene, kažem sebi i reci prijateljima
Izbjegavajte bilo koji razgovor o slonu
Krediti se mržnju do ljubomore i samo uljepšavanja
Ali duboko dole, smatram se da se pitam
Ako su ljudi koji pišu o tome su u pravu u vezi sa mnom
I pitam se da li mi izvadi zasjenjuju jer znaju puno o meni
Ja sam dug put od Shelby County
Prolazio sam kroz neku lokalnu napetost, čuo razgovore o zdravoj bogatstvu
Trijezan i fokusiran, ne mogu hodati niz nelicu
Još uvijek imam momke za oko mene, volim ih i ponosno im kažem
Moja mama treba prilagoditi pomoć, moj otac treba mi pomoći računovodstvu
Gledam nebeski prozor, znam da je dođavola oko mene i-
[Chorus]
Pitam se, oh, zašto je to ikad moralo biti?
Toliko gubitka nade u onim snovima koji-
