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
