NF Real Music Website: www.nfrealmusic.com/ Intro 3 Video/Sub Source • NF - Intro III Lyric V... Footage by Exploring with Purkz: • Abandoned house in the...
Intro lll has just the most self-aware writing ever in any song, it’s just beautiful how someone I can take personal messages from their own life and just cut people so deeply with them
Even the lines like "guns if you cant aim" "blood with no veins" "love with no pain". They all rhyme both points for starters and all make sense etc. Just perfection
His newest album is so technically sound from the lyrics to the flow it gets better after every album. He really 1 ups each album with each release which is something many rappers don’t do
Lyrics in order: Intro I: I'm lookin' like I'm gonna get it, you probably don't get it I come in your house with a microphone Lookin' like I'm about to set up a show in your kitchen I'm outta my mind but I feel like I'm in it If I never make it, don't make any difference I'm still gonna kill it You know what the deal is Ain't never no chillin' when I'm in the buildin' NF is a monster, I am a villain My music is sick, and you don't know what ill is You better get back, I don't write any filler I write what I feel and I'm feelin' a million So you better shh, be quiet, you hear it? I'm 'bout to lose it I'm on a whole different level of music Don't treat me like I don't have no clue how to do this You better rethink what you're thinkin' and move it Now picture me writin' when I was a kid tryna make it in music I'm thinkin' it's crazy I spent all my money on studio time, tryna get on my music so people could play it I'ma keep it one hundred, my music was terrible Learned to get better, the more that I made it Go back to my Moments album Most of you people, you probably don't know what I'm sayin', hold up! What you're witnessin' now, don't try to figure me out I grab on that microphone, jawin' the crowd They was laughin' at me, who they laughin' at now, huh? I laugh at myself, some people they lookin' like, wow The moment you told me that you was a rapper, I couldn't believe it You believe it now? Step in the booth and I murder it You never heard of a rapper that kill it like I do I sleep on the couch in the studio, stay up 'til 3 in the morning And write 'till I get more The moment I wake up I feel like I don't even sleep And I'm ready to put out my record Well, thank you for buyin' it! Maybe you burned it! But either way, I'm gonna wreck it! I look at the industry, look what it did to me You'll never make it if you never grind You put a whole lot of money into it, you better be ready to give it your time I look at the past few years of my life and I promise you I have been given it mine Try to keep up with this I'm not a puppet, no string on my back, I'm one of a kind Music is changing, no way to tame this I am an artist, look what I painted Hang up the caution tape, I'm dangerous Does anyone know where my brain is? Rappers are comfortable knowing they're famous But I really don't care what your name is And I really don't care if I'm nameless Y'all just drivin' around, I know where my lane is Cocky? Nah, I'm competitive? This is a job for me, it's adrenaline Don't try to box me in, I am Mayweather I come in the ring, my punches are way better I never drink but I live in these bars The moment you blink is the moment you lost Say you a king, who put you in charge? Don't care what you think, I'll break in your car Climb on the top of it, sound the alarm And wake up the neighborhood, rap in your yard And the carry the speakers on both of my arms 'Til you keep sleepin' on me, I'm at large Enough with the jokes, I ain't jokin' You come in a session with me Imma show you what dope is And when I say dope I ain't talkin' 'bout smoke And I'm talkin' 'bout music that has an emotion I look at this mic, it's part of my family Take it away, I'm comin' to find you I've been through a lot in my life And it's hard to get people to listen when no one's behind you And then Capitol came in the picture and gave me a shot And look at it now I look at the team I'm dealin' with, these people ain't playin' around Lookin' back, I gotta laugh I was in a whole different place a year ago I look at the math, I look at the map And thank you God, I swear it's a miracle And I'm sorry, but I gotta leave But man, this track was beautiful The least I can do if I murder a beat is take the time to go his funeral Intro II: I'm back, did anyone miss me? They said a second record could be tricky Well that's kind of funny 'cause I am not tripping My fans, they know what it is and they with me Yeah, I ain't the type that's gon' ride with the semi I came from a town with three lakes and no city I've been doing shows for nothing but pennies When I leave the stage, they never forget me Mansion was a glimpse of my life I let you see what it's like to be in my head People ask me what I think I think I be doin' If it wasn't music, I'd rather be dead You heard what I said, that was like me at a 3, you don't want to see me at 10 Or maybe you do I promise if that is the case, then that is what you're gonna get If you're looking for music with watered down lyrics I promise that you need to go somewhere else And if you want somebody to tell you everything that you wanna hear I won't be any help This flow is familiar, I think I heard it before Oh yeah, I made it myself I left the door open to come in my mansion but I never said it's a beautiful house Some of ya'll sat on the porch Looked at my windows and stared at my door They ask me if I'm going to kill it this record I laugh in their face and I ask 'em, "Do you see the blood on the floor?" He's at it again, NF is crazy he's bad with the kids He never talks about nothing but him Yeah, my friends say, "He's kind of a diva" Well, you need to get some new friends I'm as true as it gets 'Til I get on the stage and flip on the switch And I go to a place where nobody is If you putting my name in the song, that's something that you won't regret I'm not lying to you here I remember the shows when no one was there I remember the shows when nobody cared Some people in front of me laughing like, "He isn't going nowhere" It's funny now, isn't it? This type of life isn't how I envisioned it This type of life, it just ain't how I pictured it I'm in the back of the tour bus, trying to face how my family is different Not what you think it is Write a review, tell me what you think of this Give me three stars and call me and idiot But to be honest, it don't make a difference I know some people don't get it But you have now entered the Therapy Session If you don't like music that's personal I have no clue what you people are doing here Might as well throw out the record I pull up a chair I track through my music like nobody's there Only person I judge is the one in the mirror I'm lately he ain't doin' well I don't need ya'll in my ear I'm tired of hearing it You call it music, I call it my therapist Sick people telling me I have been carrying way too much baggage I need to take care of it I know she's right, but man it's embarrassing Music has raised me more than my parents did Take out a picture of us and I stare at it Who am I kidding? You probably ain't hearing this Show me an artist you want to compare me with You put us both on a track, I'm a bury 'em Give me this shovel, it's 'bout to get scarier None of you want to attack what you staring at I see you got beats, but where is the lyrics at? NF is the logo, you know I been wearing that Don't come to my show and be sittin' in the very back I call you out in the crowd like, "There he is!" I thought I'd be happy, It feels like I'm cursed It's hard to be clean when you play in the dirt You gave me this place to go when I'm hurting I thought it'd get better, but it's getting worse And I got nobody to blame when I work, like 24/7 I ain't been to church, and Satan keep callin' me, he tryin' to flirt I hang up the phone, these are more than just words I drive on that highway and listen to Mansion I look up to God like, "When did this happen?" Yelling with all of my fans to "Wake up!" But feel like I haven't I get emotional, I didn't plan this I'm doing things I never imagined I'm sorry but I gotta leave I don't wanna be late for my therapy session
And here are Intro III and outro (comment was too long for all four in one comment) Intro III: What, are you scared of me? It's embarassin' If it wasn't for me, you would've never wrote Therapy I've been here for you, but how come you're never there for me? It's a little bit twisted, but I miss when you and I had scary dreams I don't really wanna talk about it Well, that's too bad now, Nate, shut up! Now where were we? Way back in the day when You and I had it all mapped out in the basement Cryin' in your room like a baby "I wish mom was here" We all do so we wouldn't have to hear about it Every single record you don't really wanna change me Yeah, I'm the one that made this happen Do you really wanna get rid of your main attraction? Let's pack our bags and go back to Gladwin now Yeah, it's time for the third record And you know I got the content I don't wanna make you nervous But it ain't like it used to be We got a lotta people watchin' You told me that you don't want me in your life That's pretty hard to digest And I told you I'd leave when we die, and we ain't died yet Therapy Session was beautiful, Nate, but I'm wonderin' what's comin' next Yeah, get that stupid hat off of your head when I'm talkin' to you, you hear what I said? You don't like the prison I built you? Yeah, you wanna know what the funny thing is? You keep on talkin' to me like a stranger, but we've been together since you were a kid Took us from a no-name Told you everything was okay Now you tryna cut me out of it like I ain't never been a part of it I am the heart of it, I made this whole thing Yeah, I put us on the dope stage You must have no brain What's the point of having guns if you can't aim? What's the point of having blood with no vein? What's the point of having love with no pain? What I'm sayin' is me without you doesn't make any sense I know I'm intense in controlling, but you need to learn how to cope with it That's just the way that it is If you didn't want me to live in your house, you shouldn't have let me move in It's comfortable here and I like it, I got my own room and everything It don't get better than this! You say you wanna own your life, then wake up and take your own advice You just mad 'cause you know I'm right Yeah, I'm flattered you put me in Mansion, but you should've told 'em right 'Bout your hands on the coldest nights You didn't tell 'em 'bout the times you and I used to hold he mic I mean, what are you, outta your mind? 'Cause both of us will be Come on, let's go outside! Is this what you wanted? Both of us out in the open? Let's do it then I mean, why are you doin' this? I know that you're mad, but I'm not in the mood for this We got a record to drop So why you actin' like I'm not a part of it? And where is my shovel at? Prolly all back where it always is, you can't get rid of all of me I'm the reason why Nah, shut up, I don't wanna hear another sentence Hey, I'm NF, is it me or the fear talkin'? What a dumb question Yeah, it's real music 'til the day we die, right? Yeah, ain't that the slogan, Nathan? Thought I told you to keep your mouth shut I mean, so what? You know I never listen Let me guess We gon' dig a hole, kill the track, and prolly put a beat in it Rap about it for like three minutes Aye, that's pretty deep, isn't it? Wait a minute, you don't really think for a second that you're puttin' me in this? No, of course not, just a lil' deeper then we'll go inside and we can stop diggin' Woo! You had me scared for a second, I though we were diggin' my grave We did, what, you don't bein' afraid? It's a dose of your own medicine What, you don't like how it tastes? My therapist told me don't bury my issues, but I'ma be honest, man I'm feelin' great! I think it's only right we go back to where you were created I wrote a song for Jonny without you, but he ain't gon' like it, let's see how he takes it He prolly don't even remember us, does he? I wish I was buryin' anger, but both of us know I'ma need him for that song He still lives in the basement Almost done, shoulda done this a year ago I don't know why I waited You know how I get it, I put everything off of my personal life, you hear what I'm sayin'? That was a joke Yeah, it's hilarious, ain't it? You'll spend the rest of your life in my backyard or back of my mind, depends how you see it Put the shovel away, time to go back in the house now, you'll be out in a week Tellin' me you want your room back, that's funny, what, you ain't got nowhere to sleep? I'ma just look out the window and laugh at you, this is crazy to me 'Cause I thought you had me in prison this whole time, but I'm the one holdin' the keys Outro: I'm dedicated, the definition of dedication Wrote this whole record while I was levitating Sittin' in my room with the pen and paper, I'm innovative They've been afraid of me since I was a second grader I'm the kid on the playground mama told you to never play with There's levels of music-and I'm in the elevator Going up to the top floor, look how we elevated What, you don't know the brand by now? You better get educated Take both of my arms, rip 'em out the sockets and separate 'em Forgive me, yeah, I know I get animated Don't matter, I still write a better record than yours without a hesitation Never been more motivated Just look at all the minds I have opened and penetrated See, I am the voice of all these kids that think things, but never say 'em That's why they come to my shows wearing the NF hoodies And hats low like we're carrying weapons, ah! Put the controllers away, it's game over I promise I'm way colder The fans keep saying that they're hungry for new music Well that's pretty convenient 'cause I just made a plate for 'em And now I'm hearing none of y'all are saying I just sit at the keys feeling the music Got me thinking I'm Beethoven The game needs a makeover If you've been waiting, the wait's over You ain't notice, y'all about to witness a takeover, I'm home! Yeah, they waiting on me to match the Emotion that I had in the last one What if I don't, they gon' tell me that I'm losing my passion? If I do, am I repeating my actions? Yeah, look, "How Could You Leave Us" is massive There ain't nothing I can write that'll match that My biggest fear writing this record wasn't putting out trash It was disappointing myself and the fanbase Now I want you to picture me I'm in a hotel rapping, crying on the floor of the bathroom Staring in the mirror, my room, hands shaking Playing "How Could You Leave Us" through the speakers on my iPhone Tryna to figure out if I'ma always feel the way that I feel Or maybe someday I can learn to be happy Or maybe I can't be, 'cause if the music ain't emotional enough Are they gon' call me a has-been? Pain's always been the root of my music If I cut it off, how am I supposed to keep growing If I let it go, won't my whole career be in ruins? That's when I realized this whole conversation is stupid I never cared to impress people that don't even know me I just write what I feel, somehow it started a movement Trying to enjoy a career, but I don't know how to do it When I spend all of time my being afraid I'ma lose it! But, then I figured out the reason they follow me The reason why these fans surrounding me It's not 'cause I'm a "Rap God" I don't need you people to bow to me All they ever did was doubt on me, now everyone's proud of me Acknowledge me or not, you ain't ignoring the following I'm just teaching 'em something they couldn't learn in they colleges This is for the kids feeling like they live at the bottom And every day of they lives, feels like it's darker than Halloween! Yeah, you ain't alone out there, look around you We got a lot of fans in here Couple hundred thousand, that's what we did last year Listen to Intro 3, trying to kill my fear They'll get that in a minute We about to shatter the critics I am a savage, admit it A lot of baggage I live in That's why the passion is different Really don't care if they get it We're only three records in it and this is just the beginning I'm home!
Intro 3: What, are you scared of me? It's embarassin' If it wasn't for me, you would've never wrote Therapy I've been here for you, but how come you're never there for me?

Real music
I've heard people say NF sucks because he doesn't cus or throw up gang signs or that he's white and shouldn't be doing what he does. What they don't understand is that this is a church boy making a flow with what God gave him. He's not stopping any time soon. This entire music video shows what he's capable of and the flow is a masterpiece of his own heart soul and voice alone. There's absolutely nothing stopping him and the hate just fuels him more and more. Y'all don't have a chance on taking this man down. Not today tomorrow or your entire life span. Much love and peace Nathan ✌️
To be honest, I didn't like rap music before because of all the cussing and all the negtivity. But when I heard NF for the first time I feel in love. Its like he is telling his story in every song he write! Its amazing to me, and another main reason I love him is because he doesnt have all the negtivity in his music. No Cussing nothing. But My favorite Intro is number 3 I just relate to it ALOT I dont know why but I do! and yes NF IS LEGEND and will always be-
I like how he mentioned mansion therapy session and wake up in intro 2 even to the point where he did the same yell for therapy session as the actual song
How can you guys pick favorites, all this mand music is my favorite and that's on PERIODT Ok maybe I like the third one more than the other 3 but stillll
The better chronological order would've been Intro 1, 2, Mansion, 3 then Outro, because in retrospect Mansion is essentially an intro as well and completes the entire story. Just my opinion I guess
Today I had a terrible realization: NF's music was always cinematic. From the very beginning. It never occurred to me but now that I realize it, my entire perception of NF has changed. Do you know what this mean? Do you understand what this means? It means *NF has had consistent quality music for an entire decade.*
I also have a Shovel that has carved a lot more than a Ditch in the Mind of my Own Creative Kingdom together with a bat and a brick we will manifest the Future Destiny As The Main Character.
