Wonder Why Lyrics

Written by Bakes · Produced by Kidd Upstairs
Wondering why
Every night I just be wondering why
When it finally comes time for me to leave my body, where is it that I'm gonna fly?
Too many questions, I need an answer
Like, why do so many people keep dying from cancer?
Why is it that we take living for granted?
Just something I'm asking
Trying to believe everything is for a reason
While fighting these demons
I know that life isn't fair, nor is it even
But still that doesn't ever help it get easier
Going through it, you will feel like a meteor
Crashed right into your world, hit your heart
4AM, sitting up in the dark
5AM, now I'm waiting for the sun
Wonder if this is who I'm meant to become
Where do I start? I could go on for ages
My life is a book and I'm writing the pages
I'm learning that this shit is all about stages
Out in the sea and the ocean just rages
But me, I always stay afloat, I can never be sunken
I weather the storm, keep moving
Searching for something, I wasn't sure what
Until I looked in the mirror and saw what I'm pursuing
This is the life that I chose
Used to be knocking with all the doors closed
Always had style with minimal clothes
Now they say I'm coming up, I suppose
Me, I'm a rose
One that grew from the concrete, we arose
Me and my bros
Freeing our souls
Lately I've been feeling way more cold hearted from dealing with hoes
Right now, I've got a whole lot on my mind
If I had it my way, I'd go back in time
Revisit the past
Memories I'm missing
Things I would do different
But this is the fact
Recognizing the present is a gift
And overstanding that these haters ain't shit
Let them know that I'm snapping off the rip
World is a puzzle, got to make it fit
Life never stops and it often is strange
Accepting the only constant is change
Watching the bigger picture rearrange
All about balance, give and take exchange
This is how I feel, I'm gonna end it by saying
I'm sick of just having my heart getting played with
Don't know how to be anything but blatant
I'm overstanding that life is what you make it
Well I wonder
Lately I've been having way more epiphanies
Orchestrating my life like it's a symphony
Really, I don't have no friends in this industry
All just acquaintances, they're not a friend to me
Wonder why the universe has been testing me
Wonder why I'm manifesting my destiny
I already know the answer, it's evident
June 11, a Gemini was heaven sent
I'm here for a greater purpose
Give them the vibe with the flow, how I word this
Embracing the pain even when the shit is hurting
Flip it into a positive for certain
I've been going through it
I've been getting to it
Slightly depressed and nobody even knew it
Highly stressed out, but I'm good now, I'm moving
Forward always progressing, what I'm doing
Got to remember
Bring it back to center
Grinding every January through December
Talking about who got it, I'm the main contender
Had many influences, but not a mentor
I'm just a different breed
I did it differently
Built myself up, equipped myself with different keys
All significantly
They can not get to me
I am an outlier, gifted, an entity
Meant for the sensory
Learn the lessons and convey them back to the people and especially
Those who feel like they're in need of some empathy
No longer wonder why blessings are sent to me
Questions I wonder about
Ignorant people keep blundering out
Opting for sun over thunder and clouds
Wondering why they're coming for me now
