Follow Our Spotify Playlist : Popular-Music.lnk.to/Spotify

“Hey Nate how’s life?” Nate: *pulls out 30 page script*

"I'm gonna re-watch this until I know all the words!" Me at 3:00 am: " HEY NATE HOWS LIFE I DON'T KNOW ITS ALRIGHT"... help

Not a giant rap person. But, this song is impressive. No curse words, we'll written lyrics that are thoughtful, provocative in a good way, and don't repeat. A fairly complicated set of lyrics that elevate this genre. Respect!!!

Anyone here in 2024?!

"I've been searchin' What does that mean, Nate? I've been learning" - Nate, to himself

Imagine getting this song screamed in your face

No repeated lyrics and no cuss words and very deep Massive respect to you 🥵🥶🫡

These lyrics are impressive. He is a true talent

1:20 the "Ohh" is legendary

“You can’t curse and write one of the best songs out there.” NF: hold my balloons.

"Every day when you get up and think you'll never be great, you'll never be great, not because you're not but the hate will always find a way to cut you up and murder your faith" is the most relatable line ever.

The flow this song has is unbelievably smooth

You can’t not curse and have a good rap song NF : Hold my beer

This dude dropped hard.

This song literally gave me motivation outta nowhere 🗿🔥

Listening in 2024 Still banger

This song is literally so powerful

Dad: Son, stop playing that song Son: Why? Dad: *We have bigger speakers downstairs*

"Hey, Nate, how's life?" I don't know, it's alright I've been dealin' with some things like every human being And really didn't sleep much last night (last night) "I'm sorry", that's fine I just think I need a little me time I just think I need a little free time Little break from the shows and the bus rides (bus rides), yeah Last year I had a breakdown Thoughts tellin' me I'm lost gettin' too loud Had to see a therapist, then I found out Somethin' funny's goin' on up in my house Yeah, I started thinkin' maybe I should move out You know, pack my car, take a new route Clean up my yard, get the noose out Hang up my heart, let it air out (air out) I've been searchin' "What does that mean, Nate?" I've been learning Grabbin' my keepsakes, leavin' my burdens Well, I brought a few with me, I'm not perfect Lookin' at the view like, this concerns me Pickin' up the cues, right? I'm quite nervous Hate it when I lose sight, life gets blurry And things might hurt me It's prolly gonna be a long journey, but hey (but hey) It's worth it, though Cold world out there, kids, grab your coats Been a minute, I know, now I'm back to roam Lookin' for the antidote to crack the code Pretty vivid, I admit it, I'm in classic mode Don't need pity given to me, but I can't condone Talkin' down to me, I'ma have to crack your nose for crackin' jokes I'm lookin' for the map to hope, you seen it? (You seen it?) Been makin' a whole lot of changes Wrote a song about that, you should play it I get scared when I walk on these stages I look at the crowd and see so many faces, yeah That's when I start to get anxious That's when my thoughts can be dangerous That's when I put on my makeup and drown in self-hatred Forget what I'm saying, and Where'd the beat go? Oh, ain't that somethin'? Drums came in, you ain't see that comin' Hands on my head, can't tell me nothin' Got a taste of the fame, had to pump my stomach Throw it back up like I don't want it Wipe my face, clean up my vomit OCD, tryna push my buttons I said don't touch it, now y'all done it I can be critical, never typical Intricate with every syllable, I'm a criminal Intimate, but never political, pretty visual Even if you hate it, I'll make it feel like you're in it, though You call me what you wanna, but never call me forgettable Leave you deep in thought, I could never swim in the kiddie pool Way that I been thinkin' is cinematic, it's beautiful Man, I don't know if I'm makin' movies or music videos (videos, videos, videos) Yeah, the sales can rise Doesn't mean much though when your health declines See, we've all got somethin' that we trapped inside That we try to suffocate, you know, hopin' it dies Try to hold it underwater but it always survives Then it comes up out of nowhere like an evil surprise Then it hovers over you to tell you millions of lies You don't relate to that? Must not be as crazy as I am The point I'm makin' is the mind is a powerful place And what you feed it can affect you in a powerful way It's pretty cool, right? Yeah, but it's not always safe Just hang with me, this'll only take a moment, okay? Just think about it for a second, if you look at your face Every day when you get up and think you'll never be great You'll never be great, not because you're not, but the hate Will always find a way to cut you up and murder your faith (woo!) I am developin', take a look at the benefits Nothin' to meddle with, I can never be delicate Am I even relevant? That depends how you measure it Take a measurement, then bag it up and give me the evidence Pretty evident, dependable can never be tentative I'm a gentleman, depending on if I think you're genuine Pretty elegant, but not afraid to tell you to get a grip Proper etiquette, I keep it to myself when I celebrate, ah (ah) It's that time again Better grab your balloons and invite your friends Seatbelts back on, yeah, strap 'em in Look at me, everybody, I'm smilin' big On a road right now that I can't predict Tell me "Tone that down, " but I can't resist Y'all know that sound, better raise your fist The search begins, I'm back, so enjoy the trip, huh

When seeing this in short form, this song always sounded so angry, but the lyrics are really motivational. It's like we all get caught up beating ourselves down, but to achieve your dreams, you fist have to believe that those dreams are achievable. And once you believe that, you'll look unstoppable, and you'll be unstoppable. Good shit.

"you can't rap without swearing" NF: Pass my trolley

Never ask: A man: his salary A woman: her age NF: how's life

Haven't heard this in about a year or two and it just appeared in my playlist. Love it! Can't believe I forgot about this song! 💕

Still one of the most inspirational songs to me especially when he talks about the mind 🔥

This song sounds like something that would play when the weak character becomes the powerful villain

The best thing about this song is it feels like Nate isn't rapping to us. He's speaking to us. He's in a way it feels like he's telling us his stories

Honestly in my opinion NF is the most underrated rapper of my time I'm 16 btw plus he has a really good singing voice another thing is I have not dislike the single one of his songs he's definitely my most played artist he never ceases to impress me you also got to respect that he doesn't say any bad words in his songs I just love the emotion in his songs

Some of the best music in heaven will be this dude. Keeping it real and clean.

“Drums came in you didn’t see that comin” best lyric by far

Ok but can we respect the no cussing tho?!?!

Bro is like family friendly eminem.

He tore this track up the best rap I've heard this entire year!💯💯💯💯🔥🔥🔥🔥

The instrumental sounds like the final boss in a video game. Ok so this was my first major comment and I'm so glad for all the likes!

I respect how NF is putting his effort even though he’s depressed

Bro this song is such a masterpiece and more than a song it’s a lesson of life

This song is literally so powerful it dropped hard. 🔥

The thing that gets me is how hard he goes on every line but never has to cuss. I like rap and don't mind cussing but Nate proves it is unnecessary when you got flow and a great vocabulary.

I'm not really a fan of rap, but this is 🔥🔥🔥

Been listening 🎧 to this song on repeat never gets old ❤❤❤

I love this guys reality and how he expresses it. Helps me

NF raps faster than my internet connection

NF is the man that can cut deep with no swearing

This beat and the flow are immortal

Anyone 2024?

I used to be a fan but after this masterpiece I am a whole air conditioner

Logic and NF would be a fire collab.. Just saying

Bro no cussing. Fantastic. Most rappers don't know what it's like n here he is knowing what its like. Like first time hearing him but yep already love the song. Bout to play a few times xD

I love this song! It’s so powerful! Intense, true! I just love it

This song fits about every fight scene be it in an anime or a video game or real life it fits

"never call me forgettable" Maybe NF has seen the guy in FBE react to him and that guy called NF forgettable 😩

I can't wait to see him live in Frankfurt, one of the realest rappers today, every rhime comes from he's deepest feelings. 💪💪

These lyrics just hit different!

People say eminem and nf dissed each other subliminally but it would be the shit if they did something together. Eminem n logic together was great. Now just imagine nf n eminem. Be amazing.

This is one of the best songs I’ve ever heard. Not even joking.

It really hits hard when you can relate

I like how he fit a hole story in a 3 minute song And the chorus is awesome

Why is he so underrated

1:10 when u have to explain something infront of ur class

This song just hits hard

*Played this in class, my teacher was just waiting for the swear words*

1:20 - 1:39 BEST PART EVER "OCD tryna push me my buttons, I said don't touch it.. Now yall done it" I LOVE THIS

Hey Nate hows life? Haven’t seen you in a while. Nate: Tells the whole earths history

Man this is exquisite. No repeats like a poem, and a fast metre too like George Watsky.

Love this song .....the lyrics are awesome!!!

0% Nudity 0% bad words 0% boring video 100% AWESOME SONG!!!!!!!

What the shy kids listen in their headphones:

After 4 years.. still amazing drop

I hate how relatable and truthful this is simply cause my eyes are watering and the truth hurts.

2 years later still waiting for him to crack the code for us

Balls

Nf is an absolute legend

Most reliable dude in rap. He's fam in my book. Pretty elegant but not afraid to tell you to get it, fire. 🔥🔥🔥

I had to slow it down and pause so that I could look at ever lyric and understand it better
