My bro loved NF, he suffered a brain injury recently and lost all emotional attachment to his family, including me... This song gives me hope he'll come back to us, someday...
I'm going to be honest here, and I don't care ppl think, I balled my eye's out on this song and it is helping me too release all the bs that has been building up in-side me, for many of years, so in that THANK YOU NF FOR MAKING SONGS LIKE THIS. also your other song change, is right up there with this song.. keep doing u bro.. you got this in the bag!
that last verse is 🔥. I only found NF's music about a week ago and now he's almost all I listen to. "Tell me I'm worth it God"... that hits me hard. Man this guy's lyrics are powerful. I'm going through a little bit of bs right now and music like this is what I need. Thank you NF

Fr god knows you more than anybody in the world could ever know you, hes your best freind for life and eternity and he has your back because whatever tries to come at you has to go thru him and he is almighty and beyond powerful, his powers are unlimited. He knows you so well, he knows things you dont even know and he counted every hair on your head! Talk about a best friend!!!
@@Sleazylusciouslucy nobody asked you? I respect your opinion but like what’s the point of hating on us? Like it’s our belief just like you believe whatever you might believe.
This song is a work of art, and an act of God. You hit home with this in a way so perfect I can't comprehend, and I know I'm far from the only person with this on repeat because they need to hear it. "Tell me I'm worth it, God"
God declares you're worth His very life to bring you forgiveness and love. How? By one ultimate shout from the cross that echoes forth through all eternity.
Hello NF my name is Daniel I’m just your average 16 yr old and go through a lot mentally I’m not gonna lie. Things get hard. And well I just wanted to tell you that I think you are really cool and a great lyricist. Honestly I listen to like everyone of your songs. I just wanted to let you know that your music that you have created really helps me and MILLIONS of other people out and for that I would just like to say thank you. I doubt you are going to see this but thank you so much and I hope things only get better.
Love you kid! You should check out who is barrabas by Judas it's a a quick sermon but help me thru my dark times.... your message really hit me and I hurt when I see the younger generation hurting, stay strong thru the storm your going thru. There is peace when it calms....
Elementary Music Teacher here at a lower income school with refugee families, single parent homes, kids with trauma, kids of every color of the Rainbow… a majority of my students relate to and love rap music. You know how hard it is to find rap songs without swear words?!! Until now… thank you NF for the music you do! I can’t wait for my students to use your music for our rap songs in our Pop/Rock Concert this year!!!
Facts... makes you think about something that was just a dream 4 years ago... an EMINEM ft...... we already got tech and hopsin... eminem ft. Doesn't seem so impossible rn
@@jamaalogle-bristol1395 When Eminem and NF get on a track this world will explode thats to much on the music world like damn that be legendary dude i think Em would straight up respectfully not cuss in his songs they both are unique bet em can make a song without cussing perfectly just to shock people.
God is behind you no matter what. Life shouldn't be taken for granted. I've gone through a lot similar to Nate and listening to his music is a breath of fresh air honestly bro
oh yes indeed my opinion is he is the best rapper cuz a lot of people (like me) search for a rapper what doesn’t just sing about se* and all and who don’t has bad words so a fRiEnd told me about him and now I know more about him he ❤️Thanks NF
Heard this song right when it was released. But now here I am, at 4am, blocked by my best friend, heartbroken, super lonely with important exams within 60days, studying and trying to keep myself together when all I want is to fall apart, and I put my playlist on shuffle and this song comes up and damn. Every. Freaking. Lyric. Hits sooo hardddd "Highlight all the things I wish I never said" "How you're talking to yourself is rude" "Sinking, dreaming, screaming for some truth" "Climbing till I'm out of breath Questioning my every step" "Positive that where I'm at is not where I should stay and that's why Told you to look in the mirror and say I love you Convince yourself that no one in the world would ever want to." And I finally feel understood. Not alone. I'm so grateful this guy exists/// Hold on tight fellas we gonna make it through this Edited to add more lyrics xD
Yes we are because we've all either gone thru shit or are going thru shit and dont want others to feel what we are ourselves I personally am going thru some challenges

NF is the one that give me the courage to keep going… some parts of the lyrics just hit me… I know many people listen to him because they are in the same situation and I’m sorry to hear that. I hope we’ll all work it out eventually.
" HOW YOU'RE TALKING TO YOURSELF IS RUDE"😪 . I remember going on holiday for 2 weeks in August at our farm.. away from people, just animals and trees surroundings literally.. I recall just Venting to this song for like the whole 2 weeks straight, day n night.
I don’t think ive ever replayed a song more without getting sick of it. This is arguably the best song you’ve ever made, ive cried, broken down and felt motivated, and felt hopeful many times listening to this it really is a perfect song
I JUST WANNA KNOW WHY I'm afraid of CHANGE MY STRESS has me feeling like a LOST OUTCAST DRIFTING in the outback walking CIRCLES in THE SEARCH for THIS THING CALLED LOVE I KNOW I'm not the ONLY ONE. If you were WITH ME REMEMBER THIS I will always be REAL UNTILL I DIE!
As someone who has been listening since EP, it gives me the goosebumps to witness the growth not just in his ability to make music, but in his growth as a person that we can see through every piece of his art. This guy has a passion that we have never seen before and I'm so excited to see what NF has in store. His production has gotten scary good to be honest, and his lyricism and flows are getting better every project so there is no doubt in my mind that he is the EM of our generation.
"Passing by the people who have been there to support you from the get go- disrespectful." WOW this hits so hard for me. Too often I feel like I'm completely alone and there's no one there for me. But in reality, I do have people who care for and support me- sometimes our feelings are not the truth. NF IS REAL MUSIC.
Been struggling with mental illness my whole life, then in 2019 I was in chronic pain from untreated arthritis. When quarantine hit I started to drift even farther than I did before. I stay in my room for weeks, barely get up from bed, and practically live at my desk. NF has helped me through all of it. Even though I am in pain, always depressed, never sleeping well, or even sleeping at all NF helps me get up in the morning. I finally admitted to myself that I needed help because of his song "Leave Me Alone". I still have a long way to go mentally and physically, (I'm only 16) but NF's music is always there when life gets too much to bare. The impact of these past 2 years have changed me for the better, but I wouldn't be here if it weren't for NF.
NF, who knows you might read this idk.. You a real one. ADHD keeps my mind occupied, when its all one thing, negative thoughts, I can learn to let them pass but they circle around and when I come to your songs they leave and I see your struggles, your pain. I'm blessed but I'm cursed to.
When you find that you're not the only one who feels the way he sings about. This man literally saved my life with his music. A bond that can never be broken 🖤
Anyone else just get goose bumps over their entire body when he starts the intense last verse! NF you have impacted an entire generation, providing a release for emotions that were destroying and eating us from the inside that we couldn't express. Thank you, just thank you.
@@konstantinosmoularas3369 I subbed to NF at 250k subs 5 or so years ago and now the dudes at 7 million, Im sure he’s appreciated. Plus he impacts people from all kinds of generations not just a specific generation
@@chrisc.389 man, i mean that he is not appreciated as he should be.... there plenty of rappers that are rubbish comparing to him and they have way more recognition that he has and they do not deserve
This song has been out a while now and I still find myself coming back to it constantly. I don't know if anyone will relate to this but I often find myself feeling like i'm just drifting through life floating in an empty void with no escape forced to watch life go on while I just sit back and watch. This song helps me to pull myself out of that void.
I already feel the energy of all the reaction channels leave this song when it's complete silent towards the end and miss the bit of God tier rap at the end...that's probably gonna piss me off😭
