You Know Why Lyrics by Asteroidpine

New Era

2024

[Verse 1]
I should be dead
Born early, wish I was late (yep)
37 weeks early, I just couldn’t wait (nope)
So I got all these problems, this became my fate (uh)
Feels like my whole life i’ve been fighting to survive (what)
Find a way in this world I can thrive (that's right!)
When I was Five or when I was three (Three!)
My mom had this MJ DVD
Put it in, I just watched the TV
Watched in awe said “That gon be me”
At the same time, Kanye getting hate
Worst time of his life, released “808s”
Dad showed me the vids, I wish I saw my facе
Next day at school, I remembеr what took place
“What do you want to be when you grow up?”
I said “MJ or Ye” and they just laughed in my face
For the rest of my life, treated like a disgrace
“Your son can’t do math, he can’t even focus
Can’t do sports from what we have noticed”
It’s not like I didn’t f*cking notice
Cuz the other kids made sure I know this
“Why do you walk funny?” “Why do you talk funny?”
“Why is your head too big for your body?”
“Why do your hands shake?” “Why do you write sloppy?”
“But your son has quite the pop see, everyone loves him
They try to copy what he does, they say his full name like an order”
“Hey Miss M, where is Jayden Porter?”

[Chorus] x2
Not trying to make y'all feel bad but I mean
That’s just my life
They hate me so much that they just
They wish I died
It’s so normal now man I
I just don’t cry
Why am I so negative? Well
Now you know why

[Verse 2]
Nobody believes in me
Sees me for me
They don’t know that i’ll breeze through them easily
Family hatin’ needlessly
Cuz my parents said “Let's give him all these meds
Maybe that will fix his f*cked up head”
Hospitalized, they threw me in the bed
By eighth grade I just wished I was dead
That combined with a new best friend every year
It was lockdown, so the end was near
Parents starting to fear, for the last ten years
I was getting madder, talking back to teachers I was getting sadder
Kept rejecting my ideas, laughing in my face
“Maybe I am dumb, Maybe I’m a disgrace”
“Maybe this dream I should just stop to chase”
“4 years, Maybe I should quit YouTube at this pace”
My parents gave up, they sent me to this place
Only motherf*cking one of my f*cking race
Everyones worse at this motherf*cking place
And the cycle did continue eventually
But now this time i’m at a different degree
And Ima destroy your motherf*cking pedigree
But my past does trace, I still have pain just look at my face
But I’m still my f*cking race, I’m Jayden Porter, I’m Asteroidpine
On point like a dime, while I’m on this rhyme

[Chorus] x2
Not trying to make y'all feel bad but I mean
That’s just my life (uh)
They hate me so much that they just
They wish I died (wish I die, wish I-)
It’s so normal now man I
I just don’t cry (what what)
Why am I so negative? Well
Now you know why (Now you know)
