She Goes By Denver

I met this girl when I was one day old
In the middle of America she loved the cold
She said: Excuse me, little homie
I know you don't know me

But I want you by my side
While you grow and get old
Fast forward, I'm fourteen, my mom passed away
Pops locked in a cell somewhere upstate

He ain't write, ain't call, ain't even say sorry
So she told me I shouldn't wait
She said: Go get it
Told me with her I'd be safe

So I said: Fuck it, I'ma get it
I ain't finna hesitate
I'ma make it for you
I'ma put you on the map

Went and laced up my shoes
Put the whole city on my back
Threw on my coat
Then I jumped off the porch

I'ma do it for her
Like no nigga before
She loved when I talked that way
Said it gave her purpose

She seen niggas every day
Lose their life over verdicts
A few years pass, now she blowing trees
Started attracting mad niggas

Domestic and overseas
Now they saying they love her
But they don't know her like me
A mile high, where she stands

She makes it hard to breathe
I told her all the time
I would never leave
Long as I got money

And a warm place to sleep
No one knows me better
She's bipolar, not the weather
Sometimes I wonder how many faces she sees

And if she tells other niggas
The same shit she tells me
Sometimes she be gassing niggas
Letting anybody enter

But that's my progressive ass bitch
She goes by Denver
She goes by Denver
Yeah, she cold, but she's warm in the winter

She's the type to make a young nigga remember
Where he came from
Where he stands
She goes by Denver

Mile high love, I could never surrender
Yeah, these other niggas want her attention
But they don't know her
Like I can

She goes by Denver
Yeah, she raised me different
Told me: Go get it
Put the city on my back

She goes by Denver
I met this girl when I was one day old
In the middle of America, she loved the cold
She said: Excuse me, little homie
I know you don't know me

Mile high love, I could never surrender
Yeah, these other niggas want her attention
She goes by Denver
