Original lyrics
ENYeah, 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
Yeah, yeah, 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, yeah, yeah, yeah
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, uh
When I 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, oh
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 stand, she make 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, yeah
No one knows me better, she bipolar, not the weather
Sometimes I wonder how many faces she sees
And if she tell other niggas the same shit she tell 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 warm in the winter
She the type make a young nigga remember
Where he came from, where he stand, she goes by Denver
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 goes by Denver
Yeah, yeah, yeah, she raised me different, told me Go get it
Put the city on my back, yeah, 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, yeah
Yeah, she goes by Denver, mile high love, I could never surrender
Yeah, these other niggas want her attention
Yeah, she goes by Denver, she goes by Denver
