@@manjulakatti8063 I don’t that that was really necessary tbh, y’all could literally use so many more formats to praise NF for not cursing in his raps, this format is just untrue and unfunny
Things I love about NF and his rap: No naked women No cursing No drugs No degrading others 100% true talent, NF made me actually like rap and I’m not against swearing but NF is proof you don’t need to curse to make good rap music
I show my mom a couple of his songs and she thought I was lying when I said he doesn't curse so she called my sister down to see if it had curses and for some reason she hates NF (she's weird) so she told my mom it has curses and I mean my mom didn't get mad at the curses but she got mad cause she thought I lied to her just a kinda funny story
This whole album changed my life. Homeless, no food, no money, sleeping on park benches and laundry mat bathrooms.....it was a fight everyday to keep going. To keep fighting. Trying to find reasons why i should continue when it was clear i shouldn't. "Living" in a town where i knew no one. No one spoke any English. Hard times i wish never to return too. Years later i thank NF for saving my life....because this album was on repeat everyday for the 14 months i fought to get my life back. So thank you NF. You don't really know the effect you have on people. 🙏
Every song he makes it feels like he makes it specifically for me ngl he always drops it when I need it I never feel bad for myself on my depressed stage and sometimes I never want to get out people expected me to listen to Drake or smth but I rather listen to NF all day on repeat without moving a muscle
@@yonigamerboybelachew5497 I feel that brother. His shit feels so real because it is. He's not your stereotypical rapper, but I'll be damned if he doesn't make you feel something.....
I'm a mental health provider and added your music to the adolescent unit of a psych ward about 5 years ago. So incredibly relatable and motivating not just for the youth, but anyone who feels this music. Thank you for the ongoing depth Nate. Been a fan for years and have shared you with everyone I know. So happy it's making it to radio in this area now ❤❤
Please let the kids know that they aren't the only ones dealing with the same things. I'm in my early 40s and my "parents" never cared about protecting me from their mental, physical, emotional abusive ways. I was never wanted, they proved that when I was barely 9. I was just a thing to to work they didn't want to do. They refused to protect me from one of their precious kids, who's older than me, they threw me in his room one night and said "here, enjoy." And I've suffered from all 3 of them even still to this day. They are narcissistic sociopathic control sick afh ppl. If I could take back all that time and just run away back then, I would so fast a millisecond couldn't see it coming. It'd definitely be better than almost 30 years later and still being put thru such abuse and called a liar ever since I was little. Those kids aren't alone. They aren't unloved or not cared about. I wish I could tell them myself, but as I can't, maybe you could relay it as someone who opened up to you? The only thing that got me thru all these years of pure hell, even them burning my house down! was art and music when that supposed "family" didn't break my cd players or tape players- even my car that just needed a couple cheap parts (starter and new plugs- the "sibling" took a backhoe and crunched it up and dumped it in the water source that flows into the rivers (nothing new for any of them as they bury their garbage, vehicles with all the oils, gas/diesel and more still in them) but yeah- art would help express and it's healing, especially when listening to music that is similar to what they feel. My wrists were broken multiple times. Even still have dents in my skull from being beaten so badly and sometimes with big rocks. Nice "family" huh?..
LYRICS Hey! Leave me alone (Leave me alone) Painic-stricken, handle business, not a joke, yeah Manners missin', travel different, no control, yeah Time to listen, time to zip it, keep it closed My description, highly gifted, take some notes, yeah Lack of interest, why'd you visit? Hit the road, yeah I'm kinda twisted, so keep your distance, be a ghost Yeah, see I'm inventive, but quite the menace, you ain't know? Well then I'm offended, let's jog your memories, here we go, yeah I went from nobody to kinda famous Hide my plaques inside the closet, I just can't explain it My wife, she tells me that she's proud and thinks that I should hang 'em But I just leave 'em on the ground right next to my self-hatred Yeah, yeah, mental health, where's my mental health? Diagnosed with OCD, what does that mean? Well, gather 'round That means I obsessively obsess on things I think about That means I might take a normal thought and think it's so profound (Leave me alone) Ruminating, filled balloons full of doubts Do the same things, if I don't, I'm overwhelmed (Leave me alone) Thoughts are pacing, they go 'round and 'round and 'round It's so draining, let's move onto something else, fine (Leave me alone) I'm in the game, but they don't even know it Like I'm undercover and don't want to blow it I come out of nowhere, they don't even notice The flow is so cold, you would think it was snowing (Leave me alone) I'm under the weather, but wind isn't blowin' I got an umbrella for difficult moments You got to admit it, I'm very devoted I'm out in the ring, but they don't always help me, so I... Hold up my balloons and cover up my face I can feel them weighing on me every day I should let 'em go and watch 'em float away But I'm scared if I do, then I'll be more afraid (More afriad) Tell them how I feel, but they don't want to change (They don't wanna change) Tell them how I feel, but they remain the same Loosen up my grip, they say that's not okay Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, ayy, leave me alone! Ayy, yeah Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, ayy (Yeah), leave me alone! Woo, yeah Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, ayy (Yeah), leave me alone! I hate when they debate if we're underrated We're so overlooked that they're looking over our numbers, Nathan (Leave me alone) We don't do enough interviews or go out in public lately We don't post enough on our socials To keep the buzz from fading (Leave me alone) Let it fade, yeah, let it fade Once it's decimated, then you drop a song out of nowhere And all the fans embrace it (Leave me alone) Then the buzz will surface again, it's part of my operation I don't need advice from my doubts right now End of conversation (Leave me alone) Shut your mouth, yeah, shut your mouth Better tone it down, close it now If you make a sound, I'ma change your dial (Leave me alone) Funny how they be acting loud, comin' on it now It's floating 'round Man, the kid is wild, pretty wild, true (Leave me alone) I'm kinda phony but don't really show it I keep it together, but have a disorder I go to my room and I sit in my corner And talk to myself in a language that's foreign (Leave me alone) I think of a rhyme and I have to record it But know if I don't, I'll wake up in the morning And question my life again, always avoiding I hate to be different, but hate to be normal, so I... (Leave me alone) Hold up my balloons and cover up my face I can feel them weighing on me every day I should let 'em go and watch 'em float away But I'm scared if I do, then I'll be more afraid Tell them how I feel, but they don't want to change Tell them how I feel, but they remain the same Loosen up my grip, they say that's not okay Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, ayy, leave me alone! Ayy, yeah Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, ayy (Yeah), leave me alone! Woo, yeah Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, ayy (Yeah), leave me alone! Remember back in "NO NAME, " I said fame called? Told you I hung up, it kinda felt wrong (Wrong, leave me alone) Finally called him back, we didn't talk long He asked me how I'd been, I sent him this song (Wrong, Leave me alone) Yeah, think he took offense, he kinda seemed off I texted him that night to ask what he thought (Leave me alone, wrong) It took a couple days to get a response But once I finally did, he said this song sucks (Leave me alone) Here are the symptoms, couldn't miss 'em, wrestle with 'em Then I penny flip 'em, bounce 'em back up nowhere, you should get some Who you dissin'? Move the switch and don't come in the kitchen You should listen, cookin' records for my hands are blistering So persistent, don't forget this, hold the tension, soul is bending No pretending, open ended, low percentage, so demented (Leave me alone) Whole consensus, flow tremendous, no apprentice, no incentive Show intensive, so possessive, tone aggressive, watch your step when I (Leave me alone) Hold up my balloons and cover up my face (Up my face) I can feel them weighing on me every day (Yeah, every day) I should let 'em go and watch them float away (Yeah, float away) But I'm scared if I do then I'll be more afraid Leave me alone (Yeah), leave me alone (Yeah, yeah, yeah) Leave me alone, leave me alone (Yeah, yeah, yeah) Leave me alone, leave me alone (Yeah, leave me alone) Leave me alone, leave me alone, ayy, leave me alone!

His music should def be above those who's goals are ruining our youth. He's trying to connect thru his own battles. He does a very good job. I cry in most of em because I feel em in every particle of my being.
If Nate doesn’t win a Grammy then I don’t even know anymore, he deserves more popularity but some people don’t understand what real is. I’m not saying he have to win a Grammy because nowadays it’s a popularity contest but lots of people are going through issues in their life and NF music can help them with more recognition
everyone says how good his musics but never how he feels. these songs have meaning and passion and pure love. i need these songs. they make me realize im not not alone
I absolutely LOVE when he says "holding my balloons cover up my face" the first 2 times he genuinely sounds scared of his own thoughts and the last time, he sounds more angry and almost desperate wanting the thoughts to "leave him alone" and the very end hes trying to take back control of himself. Absolutely BRILLIANT
@@alexmg_ completely agree. Making a joke of yourself to getrecognised. I loved her music before everyone knew her like "Ocean Eyes" was a good song but I didnt get her famous so she ruined it
I was diagnosed recently, I always thought I might have it, but getting the tools needed to manage and hearing that is it _not_ my personality. That has helped me a lot. I say this, because even as someone who thought they had it, I didn't fully understand what it even was or meant. 🙏
he tried not to become one of them but at the end after a lot of tries he gives them his balloons, he gives up his dreams The song reflects this society
Who else is spending their quarantine listening to NF on repeat 😳 Edit: I’m literally spending my time trying to memorise the lyrics from every song in the album.
I was born with OCD, or have at least had it since I was pretty young, I love NF's music but this one really speaks to me on a more personal level. Be strong brothers and sisters
Tommie profit is one of the best producers out !!! I'm so mad the beat I heard from him that he made for this album i was dying to hear was not on album. It best be coming tho. But love all his production
Coming back to Nate’s music videos legit feels like you’re watching them all for the first time again, one of the best storytellers EVER. Genius!! 💡🖤🗝️
he inspired me sm in finding my sound. if you pay attention and listen closely you can hear the influence in m music. next goal is to make a song w him 💯🔥
Welcome to the real world! Where no one knows the real them because they just want to fit in..and don't take the mask or fake smile off until there at home alone..ive always been one to say fuck That! If people don't like it fuck them
Mistake you said you’d beat him up and he says come try and you respond telling him to come to you when you started this all. You’re the one that’s all talk
My music teacher asked what our favorite songs were, my friend said an NF song, she said that is not allowed, and didn’t want any of us to listen to him because he’s “dark and depressing.” In my head I was thinking: you are so wrong, we love him because he understands, he speaks out for what’s right, and he is Christian. This is at a Christian school too, but she didn’t care. NF understands, that’s why we like NF, keep up the amazing work Nate!
Wait she seriously said NF is “Dark and depressing”!? How? NF talks about his life dealing with mental health and problems. I don’t think your teacher listened closely to the lyrics. Of course she’s just gotta judge the book by its cover
@@facelessnas6499 I think she listens to the music and beat, not the lyrics, I assume that she listens to the bad parts (not that there really are any) but like the parts that seem more aggressive, but she doesn’t listen to the amazing, deep parts, literally all of Oh Lord is that.
Well it says a lot about himself just with the word "kinda". Think about, if he didn't have the word there, he would sound like every other person and sound cocky. But the hell yeah, you did is what doesn't make sense
Being happy is a state of mind. Wishing happiness for someone is fine but the root of the problem is in his own head, which he’ll work out eventually. He just needs space and time and love from his fans which we are here to give.
purpleplum Yes, that’s why we like him. It’s so real and RELATABLE. Plus, if he’s truly born-again as he claims or at least SHOWS, (which is why I think he is btw), then he has real joy, and doesn’t NEED the temporary happiness the world seeks. Only Jesus can give true joy. I’m glad NF declares what he’s gone through, it helps and encourages others... 🙂
@@artsiicxrxmel for real i saw someone comment nf is the type of guy who could curse someone out without saying a single curse word and honestly its so true I'm surprised his shopping cart wasn't in paid my dues
Scars are fucking earned and not to be joked about by someone else only he who has survived can know the true feelings that come along with those scars amen
Just found you. I have severe ocd. Been diagnosed for about 7 years now. I stayed home from work today because of it. I’m literally ruminating about a compulsion I performed bc I was triggered. I’m glad I came across you and this video. I cried and it was cathartic. Thank you and GOD bless you ✝️❤️
