this is my new fav song besides oh lord, real, all i have, and my stress. but that line "People change, even Satan used to be an angel" is my new fav line of all time. It hits me very much as a passionate Christian.
NF changed the entire concept of rap that you can say deep words and express your feelings in a clean way I mean every sentence hits you hard at the right spot !
[Lyrics] Yeah, they say when we grow up You'll understand when you're older Guess I'm still a kid, I don't know it If I'll ever let go of this Say goodbye to the old me We ain't friends anymore, you don't know me I know I could die any moment If I do, just remember this Yeah, handouts create lazy people I'm not impressed with You want something in life, then why don't you go and get it? Actions speak louder than words do, it's pretty quiet, isn't it? Look at the world we live in, defined by comment sections Surround yourself with people that challenge how you think Not people that nod their head and act like they agree Those people that cut you open just to watch you bleed Always be yourself, not the person that you pretend to be, no! These people gon' tell you that you will never make it Then when you do, they gon' say they knew you were goin' places That's just how it works, next thing you know you'll be overrated Hearing people say they miss the "old you, " it's crazy, ain't it? And perfect people don't exist, so don't pretend to be one I don't need pats on the back from people for my achievements When I die, I wanna know that I lived for a reason Anyone can take your life, but not what you believe in, no Yeah, they say when we grow up You'll understand when you're older Guess I'm still a kid, I don't know it If I'll ever let go of this Say goodbye to the old me We ain't friends anymore, you don't know me I know I could die any moment If I do, just remember this Yeah, don't take opinions from people that won't listen to yours If money's where you find happiness, you'll always be poor If you don't like the job you have, then what do you do it for? The cure to pain isn't something you buy at liquor stores, nah The real you is not defined by the size of your office The real you is who you are when ain't nobody watchin' You spend your whole life worried about what's in your wallet For what? That money won't show up in your coffin, woo! Yeah, anger's a liar, he ain't got no respect I fell in love with my pain, and I slept with my regrets Happiness saw it happen, maybe that's why she up and left Joy called me a cheater, said she ain't coming back I've always had a problem with relationships But that's what happens when you see the world through a broken lens Mistakes can make you grow, that doesn't mean you're friends Who you are is up to you, don't leave it up to them, no Yeah, they say when we grow up You'll understand when you're older Guess I'm still a kid, I don't know it If I'll ever let go of this Say goodbye to the old me We ain't friends anymore, you don't know me I know I could die any moment If I do, just remember this Yeah, they say you got into music You signed up to be hated That's kinda weird 'cause I don't remember signing my name up Coming from people that give advice but never take none I like my privacy, but, lately, I feel it's invaded I heard that life's too short, don't let it pass you by We waste a lot of time crying over wasted time It's not about what people think, it's how you feel inside My biggest failures in life are knowing I never tried, woo! I look at the world from a different angle People change, even Satan used to be an angel Think twice before you're bitin' on the hand that made you Don't believe what you believe just 'cause that's how they raised you Think your own thoughts, don't let them do it for you Say you want a drink, don't wait for people to pour it on you Cut out the lies, stay close to people you know are loyal Grab your own glass and fill it, don't let your fear destroy you, woo!

Every body quotes lines from this song saying they are deep. I just send the link to anybody who asks me what good music sounds like. You want real? You want pain? You want meaningful lyrics? That's NF. This song may not be his most popular, but his has one of the strongest meanings to me personally.
This is one of my favourite songs by NF, the lyrics are great and meaningful, and other people, and myself get the message he is trying to send. That is the kind of music everyone here likes.
You can almost quote every line of his lyrics to your friend who is unaware of NF and you'd be considered a wise man. Such is the lyrical depth this song has.
Found this guy last month and I genuinely feel he's one of the best rappers of our generation, hopefully someday my music will help people like his does
It's true though. I smile, and laugh, but on my own I'm depressed. I used to be ashamed of it, but I'm not anymore. I just don't care. Nf is literally my at home therapy
“Surround yourself with people that challenges how you think not people who nod they’re heads and act like they agree, those people will cut you open just to watch you bleed. Always be yourself and not the person that you pretend to be” that’s Realmusic🐐💯
@@daniel.becheanu20 my favorite part is that and “if money’s where you find happiness you’ll always be poor” & “the real you is not define by the size of your office THE REAL YOU IS WHO YOU ARE WHEN AIN’T NOBODY WATCHING
true but if ur rich ur empty cause u have everything u need, humans need to thrive thats how we live if were not thriving then we have no reason to live so when ur rich u have everything and ur always looking for something that ull never find unless u get off that path and go another way they keep going into the darkness turn around and go into the light
"I've always had a problem with relationships but thats what happens when you see the world through a broken lense" I love how I can come back to this song after being an NF fan for so many years and God reveals a verse to me through this song that resonates so closely with my current situation.
I recommend You watching "How to stop procrastination" videos. There are a lot. Especially I liked AliAbdaal's video, and there is the "A* Student mentality" if You're a student. Focus on Your goals, make long-term goals, accomplish them. It is not easy,but I believe in You! :)
Critisism beyond handlabilitly and still standing with my version in full tact, never once been dismantled myside, othrs , of course they hate love hate love, no in between line readin its one thing or another. Well im everything and more just like all of you! Each an one of you is a powerhouse yet to be discovered. Im hot product as im a soul untapped an holdin full belief along wit mythbusted an personal experience of full growth of self growing regarding soul growth, stage 0 civilization remains 0 with 0 soul science. Get it right, spiritual warfare , and im apart of the fight, im the light, the might, small height but aint scared to miss, lose or return bak to the start. My life is a looping with a reset waitin for right lane to end the loop on.. Smarter than Mark, darker than the coldest night, and brightest shining son unafraid to make a stand, look behind , do u see a man or a soul in a spiritual fight? What if ive fought for all (volunteered). My book self written will have some air time as libra is air bound and im one mighty air angel saved by an earth angel. Im done playing bak seat.
For anyone who didn’t get it it means that people say a lot of shit about how they’re going to (insert action here) but never follow through and will feel good later even though they didn’t do shit
Girl: Do u even want to be with me forever? Boy: No Girl: Do u even like me? Boy: No Girl: Would u cry if i walked away? Boy: No She heard enough and was hurt... She walked away with tears in her eyes The boy grabbed her arm Boy: Your not pretty...you're beautiful Boy: I don't want to be with u forever...I need to be with u forever Boy: I dont like u...I love u Boy: I wouldn't cry if u walked away......I would die if u walked away. Boy Whispers: Plz stay with me Girl: I will... *Tonight at midnight your true love will realize they loves u *Something good will happen to u at 1-4pm *Tomorrow it could be anywhere!!! *Get ready for the shock of your life! *If u dont post this to 5 other comments... You will have baD luck in relationships for the next 10 years
This man ain’t never pretend to be nothing he ain’t been, He keep it real, always staying true to self, Never compromising, never compromising the wealth Of character and integrity, that's what he represent
100%! But he comes from an angle much of the music listening world hasn't done, Nor other artists, And so it's a damn shame the hate he does get.. But it is what it is. This man is on a level above everyone.. Including Eminem! (I like the guy but he's just a product of the industry now), A level that's beyond people's true understanding. or connection. He has worked hard though and has a huge following now, Deservedly so! And still keeps to his true self... Even turning down big contracts to do it himself. Not only is his talent amazing but is integrity truly is too. However long Nate is around for, He will hold a special place in my music library forever that's for sure.
@@danimayb Completely agree! And understand what you mean by a level above.. Not saying he's some music god that is the best artist in history, It's his level of human rawness and the artistry and lyricism that back it's up perfectly.. it's of a place deeply relatable to many but not understood by many also. There's no-one on his level, others have their places and their styles I'm not discounting, Nate is just a different zone. I'm not gay but I love this man! lol And the fact he does things his way, slaps aside big music contracts to stay in control, And keeps it real.. Just cements the story.
Damn. What a verse. "Anger is a liar he ain't got no respect, I fell in love with my pain and slept with my regrets. happiness saw it maybe thats why she up and left. Joy called me a cheater said she ain't coming back..."
I don’t care what everyone else says about NF because I know he is a good rapper and he understands most of us more then anyone else in the world that’s why he makes the best music because he feels what we all feel whether it’s hope or despair. Know that there is people in this world that care about you and love you even though you don’t think so ❤

I searched up this song on RU-vid to look at this comments to find if someone else is hyped as much as I am hearing the girl say "this" after every Bar ! FIRE YO! 🔥
"people change even satan used to be an angel" that line shows just how deep nf can get this dude his own theropist but ours at the same time props to him for never giving up to drop stuff like this.
Tamberlyn Saadieh You are so fucking right. Also funny because people in this comment section are quoting all kinds of different sentences from this song.
“Always be yourself and not the person that you pretend to be” Dang. I wish I understood that earlier. Nf really knows how to put real, meaningful words into a song
[‘Remember This’ NF LYRICS] Yeah, they say when we grow up You'll understand when you're older Guess I'm still a kid, I don't know it If I'll ever let go of this (yeah) Say goodbye to the old me We ain't friends anymore, you don't know me (real music) I know I could die any moment If I do just remember this Yeah, handouts create lazy people I'm not impressed with You want something in life, then why don't you go and get it?

This is one of the REALIST songs I've ever heard in my life!!! NF, I love you man! This song makes me tear up everytime I hear it. I put it on repeat for 4 hours last week. GOD Bless you and thank you so much for your music!!!!!
"Perfect people don't exist so don't pretend to be one" this is so true and it rly helps me realize that there rly is no such thing and that we r all perfect in our own ways❤️❤️
Nate is my best friend He is the only one helping me through my tough times, even though he is communicating with me through music, he is helping me more than anybody ever could in my life.
Ay, same here bro! He helped me through stuff! And all my real friends, i dont have quite the conection to them like i do Nathan! And i dont even know him!
@@INSANE-tt9fe they all say that we should start doing something, that we should "follow" our dreams, etc.. but the majority of people who sat this does nothing.
The older I get and the more of this world I see as a young adult, the more I understand this song. I just wish I'd been able to grasp the meaning before I got here; I would've been better prepared.
It's still too early to say that, thing is he isn't that famous just because he ain't making dumb music with mumble shit rappers, one of the most dedicated and unique rappers with personal style of music.
''Does anyone can take your life'' mean, that everyone can lead to that you kill yourself but what you believe won't go away? Does it mean that you can kill yourself but you can't take away what you believe? Or does it mean everyone can live like you live but he/she/they won't have the same believes? I'm somehow unsure with the meaning but also English is not my first language and I'm stupid lol
Before I found NF's songs, I didn't really like rap. The ones I heard were mostly about money, swearing etc. Their raps are like a balloon. Looks grand on the outside, but it's empty on the inside
I am 39 years old... This kid inspires me ... You can hear his pain in this song ... This kid is real... I say kid cause I still call myself kid... We're all kids
This song still gives me chills to this DAY. Oh my god. He gives me chills. I found out about him in 2019 and I used to listen to him during very dark times, now I’m getting through something that affected me a lot but this gives me strength. All of his verses are just cold man. The last line too… “Say you want a drink, don’t wait for people to pour it on you, cut out the lives stay close to people you know were loyal, grab your own glass and fill it don’t let your fear destroy you.” that ALWAYS gives me shivers down my spine. NF makes REAL music. Seriously… he’s speaking for all of us who has trouble expressing ourselves. NF you’re a blessing. Thank you so much.
[Chorus] Yeah, they say when we grow You'll understand when you're older Guess I'm still a kid, I don't know it If I'll ever let go of this Say goodbye to the old me (Yeah) We ain't friends anymore, you don't know me (Real music) I know I could die any moment If I do just remember this [Verse 1] Yeah, handouts create lazy people I'm not impressed with You want something in life, then why don't you go and get it? Actions speak louder than words do, its pretty quiet, isn't it?

These people gon' tell you that you will never make it Then when you do, they gon' say they knew you were goin' places That's just how it works, next thing you know you'll be overrated Hearing people say they miss the "old you," it's crazy ain't it? And perfect people don't exist, so don't pretend to be one I don't need pats on the back from people for my achievements When I die I wanna know that I lived for a reason Anyone can take your life, but not what you believe in, no [Chorus] Yeah, they say when we grow You'll understand when you're older Guess I'm still a kid I don't know it If I'll ever let go of this Say good-bye to the old me We're not friends anymore you don't know me I know I could die any moment If I do just remember this [Verse 2] Yeah, don't take opinions from people that won't listen to yours If money's where you find happiness, you'll always be poor If you don't like the job you have, then what you do it for?
