Jack Harlow - Denver Lyrics

Wonder, oh, why this ever had to be (uh-huh)
So many losing hope in those dreams that they

Walking 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 phoneless
Ignorance is bliss and so is being underground
'Cause it was fun when we were known less
Sorry, that's cliche, I know I'm so blessed
But Jason keeps on telling me, "Say yes"
And truth be told, I know he knows best
But I don't want 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 hiding any sign of weakness from my guys
I don't want 'em second-guessing 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, oh, why this ever had to be
So many losing hope in those dreams that they

I'm taking time away but wondering what a healthy helping is
Fuck it, they gon' check for me I tell myself and tell my friends
Avoiding any talks about the elephant
Chalking up the hate to jealousy and just embellishments
But deep down, I find myself wondering
If the people that write about me are right about me
And I wonder if my exes are oversharing 'cause they know a lot about me
I'm a long way from Shelby County
I been thru 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 needs help accounting
I'm lookin' out heavens window, I know that there's hell around me

Wonder, oh, why this ever had to be
So many losing hope in those dreams that they
