There's a difference between treating the symptom and treating the cause. Music can make you feel better for the day. Unless you change your life you'll always be reliant to music to treat your depression. Try to act quickly, while music still does the trick.
I was a heroin addict for over 10 years and during that time whenever this song would come up in my playlist it would cause me to breakdown crying. But now I’m almost 5 years sober and I can finally listen to it again without getting upset. Things can always change in your life for the better and no matter what you are going through, you can get through it and find your happiness in life.
Thanks for your inspirational comment. I'm going thru it right now in my life and feel the walls crashing in around me. Your comment reminds me there is always hope. Thank you and congratulations and continued success in your sobriety!
Honestly, I hate the people on here that are like,"Only the people that have been listening since they started are real fans." Bullshit. I only discovered NF recently, but I love this music. I had never heard of him before like, October of 2017. That doesn't make me a fake fan. That means I didn't have the means to discover his music before I did, and I discovered it when I needed it most in my life. So cool yourselves. Listening longer doesn't make you a better fan.
@@dostow6967 ahhh, sorry. I try mot to assume so If I'm not certain I ask... What is your favorite NF song? I know this isn't a fair question because there are so many beautiful songs.
NF is hands down the most real and passionate rapper I've ever had the pleasure of discovering. I'm 36, and am blown away by his voice and his presence. Love how he does not cater to the world but serves the King.
I need to meet people that feel the same as me this music is more than you think. This reconciles nations under JESUS and things are moving quick and who'da known I'd write somethin that could change lives, I don't think yall fully understand the way you change mine, I look at the future that's in front of me with both I's 3 records 3 years I don't like to waste time, ah! ALL I SEE IS GREEN LIGHTS, ALL I SPIT IS REAL LIFE, I BET YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT'S LIKE
People say all his songs are moody and sad. They don't understand, to people that feel sad, that feel depressed, that relate to every single word he says, these songs aren't moody or sad, they're healing.
Jesus loves you, He hears your cry and wants to be your friend. Accept Him in your life and your life will change💕 Your life is so precious, never take it. I’m so happy you exist🥺💕
A lot of people i know say that if rap isn't about drugs, sex, girls, or money, it isn't rap. Rap is literally defined as "Rhythm And Poetry." These lyrics, are poetry. They are legitimately good lyrics that nobody should be hating on
Jared Weeks rap doesn't actually mean rhythm and poetry, you can do some research on it, really that saying was just an Internet gag that was passed around
I honestly wonder what you define as new or interesting it seems your view on actual real music must be vague or non-existent cause what he says has more weight and meaning than anything you could ever even bring your self to understand . the next time you want to take down real art . Ask yourself if you say something new or interesting everyday if you can not put that in a song then kindly remain silent .
Name 1 other artist that puts the same things in context the way he has done. The reason he has weight and meaning is because his words, his music, his art isn't his to begin with. Correct me if I'm wrong but this man is reaching out for souls. He's using Christ. The bible tells us he will give you a tongue they cannot gainsay nor resist. The Lords using him to reach souls in the balance. I've looked at many "Christian" artists. I don't think any of them have as much of a leading as NF, music wise and spiritually. Life experiences has given him an very deep understanding to coincide with what the Lords given him.
+Bryan Guduli reading that honestly made me cringe. good song? sure. new? not even remotely. "you're all asleep" has been done as a song theme a million or so times. interesting? to a degree; good instrumental, good breakdown. but this is hardly more artful than a "booze and bitches"-type song.
chavezery09 all of nf's songs are insanely more artful that a "booze and bitches" song. every song that he writes is about a personal struggle that he is dealing with or has dealt with, which brings hope and inspiration to people, while all the "booze and bitches" songs basically tell people of all ages, including MINORS, that it's OK to have sex and smoke illegal drugs and drink. he is using the gift that God gave him to write these songs. what would you rather have as a role model for your kids, wiz khalifa, someone where all of their song is about drinking and smoking, basically telling people to do it, or NF, someone who writes songs about his life and his struggles and gives hope to people struggling with the same thing as him and helping them survive the tough times in their lives?
My mom walked in on me watching this and she immediately said that he was rapping from pure rage and personal experience, She's never heard of NF before and I was awestruck by her pin-point accuracy
@@ssharkyplayss2228 idk bro I doubt anybody could think of stuff like this unless they experienced it and nf doesn't exactly seem too happy no hate to him
He wrote this through pain. He wrote this by being honest with himself. He is first and foremost speaking about himself. Which is why he was able to convey it so vividly. Video was okay too, helped a little.
NFs music is literally therapy. I will never understand why people hate on him. He literally writes about his life, and his past. He doesn't curse in his songs, He writes from heart. while other rappers just write crap about Guns, s3x, etc. (Not saying all Rappers are like this) but its very common for most rappers to just rap about the same things. NF is different. And that's one of the things I love about him ❤
God bless you and help you in that sad situation you facing🙏 Yes Nf songs help a lot of people , i used the song of Nf ''Why could you leave us'', to wake up the conscience of my big brother and give him a reason to overcome his addiction to smoke. May Jesus help us all
I love nf but saying curse words doesn't make you unintelligent. If that's the case hip hop artist like Mac Lethal,Dan bull,Kendick Lamar and eminem aren't intelligent and they dont have good lyrics which is wrong.
He's Christian, and as a Christian I am extremely proud how his Fame hasn't changed him. God bless NF and anybody seeking peace and love through his music ❤️
To everyone thinking its "bad" , not it ain't. If you rap from the head you have lyrics that play with ppls mind . Makes em think , makes em question . Basically : smart If you're rapping from the heart it means that you wanna touch other ppls hearts . Make others seem like they ain't alone and assure that they're ok . We dun always wanna hear sad songs . I cant hear let you down when I'm happy as heck . I'm obviously gonna hear rap God over it . It's just that they're used differently . None is better nor worse
Dude you don't even know how hard I fell for his Mansion album. Literally had it for 3 days now and have listened to Intro more than 150 times. Dear lord I need help but this guy is straight dope.

At the end of the day, I get into bed, pull the covers over my head and listen to NF's music, and I'm going to admit, I am depressed and I have thought about killing myself before but the only reason I haven't is because of Nate's music, because at the end of the day while I'm under the cover listening to NF, I cry. I don't mean to put pressure on Nate when I say his music keeps me alive if he stopped making music I would be VERY sad, but I would listen to the songs that are already made, but Nate's music is what keeps me from losing my emotions completely. I Love his music.
That is a sad life. Society has numbed us down to such a level where most people need music to feel real emotion. If you're a moody teen, this will pass. But if you're a grown up you need help, this aint no way to live.
@@heikg I Agree about society people don't realize honestly just the sheer level of fukry an child can go through an be scarred forever from no matter how much you wanna change or go forward its always there an sometimes it makes itself known sometimes it lays dormant but in the end it will always cause the person torment.
I was an early adopter of Nate's music, but honestly, you never know how asleep you truly are until you wake up. 9 years later, watching this and looking at the lyrics made me weep as I now have true understanding of this. This hits harder than anything I have ever witnessed before. Word for word, it was exactly like looking at my life for the past 10 years. Nate, you truly are blessed with true insight.
I know you've got to wonder if any understands you on here. I'm 47 and use to struggle with it but they listen and relate if you explain. You just have to have the patience to do so. 💖💯
Requis I'm not religious because I'm a realist. Not knocking religion it's just strayed from the path it was intended. And the way I think is way too different.
i'm not religious either .. rather, I have a personal relationship with the King Jesus Christ, but yet not perfect. Enjoy the music, it's good stuff. only just discovered him, crazy :)
I was this woman in the room. He took both of our kids, while I was working two jobs, getting stressed, paying for our house, everything, he did nothing but stay with them. Never gave me a chance to be a mom. It was all about control, from incubator to professional worker, no time to be a mom inbetween. It destroyed me. Been fighting to see my two kids ever since. He doesn't believe that I have a mothering bone in my body. It's so hard, not to believe he's right. All I know is to work, cook and clean. I feel like such a horrible person for it. They didn't deserve that. All I ever wanted was to be a mom. It's like constantly being torn, between wanting to fight and wanting to let go, thinking you'll do a crappy job anyways.
It's not your fault he put so many responsibilities on you that you had no time to be there for your kids. As long as you don't stop fighting for them.
Jesus loves you, He hears your cry and wants to be your friend. Accept Him in your life and your life will change💕 Your life is so precious, never take it. I’m so happy you exist🥺💕
My circumstances are similar to yours. I’m experiencing this right now during a contentious Divorce with my soon to be Ex-Husband he controlled me, when he was losing control he used the kids to control me. Calling CPS 4 times in a year, false child abuse accusations investigated & cleared. When they lose control over you, they use what they can. When they’ve used up what they can, they control how others perceive you, spreading lies so much to the point that you question yourself and believe you are the problem. But it’s his control he seeks over every aspect of your life. Til you have nothing are nothing and hopeless without him, and your children. That’s a severe Domestic Violence and emotional abuse situation. Get in touch with Turning Point or other Domestic Violence Agencies.

Without Jesus, we feel so empty, broken and worthless always searching for something to fill our emptiness. We were created to be with Him to love and be loved by Him. Without Him, we are asleep. Wake Up.
Trust me I don’t think you’ll find a song you don’t like. All of its real, beautiful, and moving. The more people know about Nate, the better off the world is. Fame and success has not gotten the best of him and he’s continuing to stand up for what is right.
@THEREALNFEXPERT You're right - There isn't a song I don't love - Nate is a beautiful human. @Renmakesmusic is the only other artist that I feel the same about. Every track is an emotional roller-coaster, but my goodness- These two amazing artists have been more effective than decades of psychotherapy. Much respect #Outcast #Real #RENegades
If you actually listen to underground rap and, yes, secular rap (not on the radio - and even some on the radio!), you'll find they talk about many subjects other than money.
Aaron Wiley lol i do. i was introduced to Lecrae in 2010 and been listening to the big christian rappers in the game like trip lee, andy mineo, nf but i also reachin out and listening to people like social club, john givez, propaganda, etc. i love it
+Stephen Flores No. He's saying that as long as your eyes are closed you're never going to see what's really important, and you'll never truly be happy. All that money and material items are worthless and they don't bring happiness so stop revolving your life around them.
I'm from Nigeria... I only understand what american artist can give, that Nigerian artiste can't... American musicians are God sent.. They knw what the heart needs, what the soul wants to accumulate and the mood we are in to... NF is a real gee.. my guy i halla you oo according to our slangs...
@@chrishoward7645 I am with you, buddy. Let us try to wake up together. Tomorrow try to go outside and just try to enjoy every small detail you see. Try to breathe the fresh air, try to get lost in the moment, try to greet the people you see with a smile on your face and I promise to you not all are gonna greet you back but the ones that do and the ones that greet you back with a genuine smile on their face will give you joy. You are not alone mate and on every step you stumble you will get closer to becoming happy. "If you want love you gonna have to go through the pain" because that's real and you should keep your fears in the back of your mind and only let them have a small room in your beautiful mansion.
@@hamsalak9779 just saw your message my friend. I can give it try tomorrow. I already been changing though. All the pain i been struggling to let go of i am trying to let go of. My fears i don't let control me and released them. I been more joyous last few days, more happy. Trying my hardest to move forward beyond the things i experience in recent times.
It is rare to find an artist who can make you feel every emotion possible; they can make you cry, be angry, be anxious, be happy, be hyped up, felt understood. It is also rare that they genuinely can't bring out a bad song. NF is one of these rare artists. Of course I have favourites, but I literally find every one of his songs good. I really hope NF comes to Germany next year for his Clouds tour. Also cannot wait for his next album (as he said in That's a Joke - "I been writin' chill, Just chew on this 'til the record's built, okay."
NF brought me back to Christianity and helped me re-establish my relationship with God. So did all of the other performers at YC, but NF gets the most credit.
Yay I'm so happy for you. Christianity isn't all about doing things a certain way like some churches make it to be. It's not about restrictions or keeping to certain standards. It's about finding a real relationship with God. He's there but he's just quiet in this world. I wish you all the best, I'm still finding my way
With the "local" churches openly protesting against gays ? The same ones that preach forgiveness and acceptance ? I Cant stand "most" of the typical hypocritical Sunday Christians . First to judge . Stuff like this is a great way to get it back out there. i
And what makes you think that Christianity is any more valid that the countless religions around the world? And if you don't think it is any more valid why choose Christianity over any other religion?

My entire life I blamed God for everything. Every trauma was God’s fault, even when it was my own. I tried everything, every drug, every song, everything to heal the hole in my chest. Until I realized, God was the only one there through all of it. It was not God hurting me, it was my own demons. As soon as I truly woke up and opened my eyes to the blessings God has given me even in the darkest times, that is when that hole was filled. Completely gone. Such a peace knowing how important I am, so important that God stuck by me all these years and just forgave me with open arms. I still communicate to God through music. He gets me. This song is a reminder of his glory when I woke up. Praise God!!! Thank You Jesus!!!
Feeling this song , really showed me how deep my depression got. I hate the way I feel inside , but ... at least I got somewhere to go and listen the words of wisdom that I really need. Thank you Nate. God bless.
MLife Nightcore Even if i don't know you, i wish that you're alright and i'm sure that you will wake up. God with you in every circonstance of your life even in the worses moments. God bless you, you can do that ❤
MLife Nightcore You welcomee ! 😀 That's just come to answer your commentary like that. I don't know why because i don't do this often (specially because i don't speak english very well). But i just feel that you're so special and don't worry about your problems, you will fix all of them but don't do that by your self strength but asks God's help. Don't give upp, I know that you can to that, you are loved 👊. Also : Joshua 1:9
"You developed a problem in trusting in other people which led to became an issue that would mentally pound you" This is the most accurate quote out of all his songs. I mean all of his quotes and lyrics are amazing but this one just hits another level.
When NF raps anything is possible, his music is the definition of inspiration. And when your feeling like your life ain't worth anything just pull up an NF album and listen.
When I was younger I loved NF's music. The first song that stood out was Outcast, because dispite growing up around a lot of people, I still felt too different to belong. As I grew up I began to understand more and more of his songs as they started speaking to me about things that I was going through. Happy spoke to how I felt months ago and how I still kind of feel today, but then I look back and see how far I've come. NF is truly blessed with this talent to reach others and show them that they're not alone. God bless all
If you are rich... Don't be rich with money. Do something in the world to show God to the world. Pay for some kids school, trip to do missionary work, or buy bibles. It's bible month bro. No time better then now to start
This song hits me so hard because sometimes i feel like I'm just sleepwalking through life. I'm 21 but i feel like I haven't lived at all. Started 4 uni careers but dropped out from all of them. Now I started a new career but sometimes i feel like I'm not putting in all the effort i should. I recognize my problems and i go to therapy, i change for a while but then i go back to the beginning. Sometimes i feel like screaming to myself "fucking wake up!! Stop giving up, finish what you start for once, fight for your life!!!". God, i want to stop feeling like this
I had similar issues and even now question my decision. I know I will be okay though because I spent a few years out of school to discover myself. I found I do not like sitting at work for long periods or working at computers, also that I’m good at problem solving and working with my hands. As long as I have a job with these basic parameters I will be happy :). What I’m saying is, don’t worry so much, take in your surroundings, live in the moment and find who you really are. Life will follow accordingly
I feel you... keep looking, keep searching, be kind to yourself. I have gone through many different and sometimes difficult phases in my life, only to get to know and love myself more and more through each crisis. Wishing you strength, courage, love and perseverance. This will pass. You are the most important person in your life. You can have compassion for yourself. The pain will pass.

You have a public statement when you go to church and get baptized. You don't necessarily find the Lord when you do this. It is just a symbol. You can find the lord when you see the problems in your life, and accept him. getting baptized is just a public statement showing your faith.
I can feel the pain in his voice everytime I hear this song... This song makes me feel like I am not the only person in the world feeling lost. Im not awake. I need to wake up... Thank you nf this song gives me lIife...♡
Aniya Anderson wake the fuck up! lol if you want to try to bring on your awakening do some yoga stretches and deep breathing. Also, this might sound weird to you but talk to the Universe. You'd be suprised. She's a girl that just wants to be noticed and appreciated. I rubbed the back of my skull where the digits are and meditate. There's stuff of yt that walks you through it. Mindvalley has a really good one. You'll get there. Oh, watch some videos about it and things that arise, they have daily videos with some pretty cool guys. Nemaste.
Where have you been NF? Why am I just discovering your music? Love it all. We played this song for our youth group and it has impacted not only their lives but mine as well.
Ray Lovell True, but we gotta feel that depression, use it as an example of how we DON'T want to be, and take steps to grab our dream life. For me, that's a happy & less stressful life for my children and I do not want to be rich. I just want as much joy as possible. Life is all about those joyful moments (which we CHOOSE to create), although nobody feels joy all the time. We can increase those joyful seconds, minutes, days. Sorry for the novel I just wrote. Haha BUT, seriously, I've struggled with depression my entire life. By concentrating on (and appreciating) the things I have, no matter how small) it changes your perspective. You'll Slip back into negatively at times, (that's normal) but don't stay in that state of mind for too long. Feel it, then let it go. I hope this helps someone. ❤
People say that NF'S music is about sadness but I say that he's a mood and heals my depression every day I listen to his music.
He speaks the problem instead of pretending the problem is not there like an elephant in the room that happens alot in the world.
Stay strong sunshine💪🏽
There's a difference between treating the symptom and treating the cause. Music can make you feel better for the day. Unless you change your life you'll always be reliant to music to treat your depression. Try to act quickly, while music still does the trick.
if you have depression music is not gonna fix it lmfao
His music speaks to me and helps me go through my tough times that I've been having recently
When he raps its beyond amazing but when he sings.......... It's abseloutly beautiful
Perfecity so.
NF, Lucidious, sik world, witt Lowry. Tom macdonald. These guys are the best

Big facts! Hang in there

I felt that

Exactly. “Happy” music always seems so fake. We need people like NF who can sing about real things
I was a heroin addict for over 10 years and during that time whenever this song would come up in my playlist it would cause me to breakdown crying. But now I’m almost 5 years sober and I can finally listen to it again without getting upset. Things can always change in your life for the better and no matter what you are going through, you can get through it and find your happiness in life.
That’s amazing bro well done

Honestly, I hate the people on here that are like,"Only the people that have been listening since they started are real fans." Bullshit. I only discovered NF recently, but I love this music. I had never heard of him before like, October of 2017. That doesn't make me a fake fan. That means I didn't have the means to discover his music before I did, and I discovered it when I needed it most in my life. So cool yourselves. Listening longer doesn't make you a better fan.
Based on his words. Lyrics and interviews he feels the same. Anyone who hears the message are true fans.
exactly lol i hate people who do that aswell
@@dostow6967 hate the people who do what? Hear the message? Or feels the same?
@@CCFIFresno no i was talking about people who claim you cant be real fans of something if they didnt know about it from the beginning
@@dostow6967 ahhh, sorry. I try mot to assume so If I'm not certain I ask...
What is your favorite NF song? I know this isn't a fair question because there are so many beautiful songs.
One minute he’s singing a lullaby, the next he screaming at us to wake up
It’s art.
We're on a dream, then he screams to wake up
Nightmare no dream .. Dreams are happy ..
bro, thats how hes good
Isn’t that how life is though?!
NF is hands down the most real and passionate rapper I've ever had the pleasure of discovering. I'm 36, and am blown away by his voice and his presence. Love how he does not cater to the world but serves the King.
I need to meet people that feel the same as me this music is more than you think. This reconciles nations under JESUS and things are moving quick and who'da known I'd write somethin that could change lives, I don't think yall fully understand the way you change mine, I look at the future that's in front of me with both I's 3 records 3 years I don't like to waste time, ah! ALL I SEE IS GREEN LIGHTS, ALL I SPIT IS REAL LIFE, I BET YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT'S LIKE
I like Eminem too tho...
Ethan Hollett did you change the lyrics or am I just missing something? I mean I agree but just curious
Midnight Song you realize you can like both..?
Sama la kita..umur hahaha..
People say all his songs are moody and sad. They don't understand, to people that feel sad, that feel depressed, that relate to every single word he says, these songs aren't moody or sad, they're healing.
Exactly, feeling like you're not alone heals you
Jesus loves you, He hears your cry and wants to be your friend. Accept Him in your life and your life will change💕 Your life is so precious, never take it. I’m so happy you exist🥺💕
Really Really True
your comment is amazing.
A lot of people i know say that if rap isn't about drugs, sex, girls, or money, it isn't rap. Rap is literally defined as "Rhythm And Poetry." These lyrics, are poetry. They are legitimately good lyrics that nobody should be hating on
Jared Weeks 👏🏼
Jared Weeks amen 🙏
Jared Weeks rap doesn't actually mean rhythm and poetry, you can do some research on it, really that saying was just an Internet gag that was passed around
Nobody intelligent thinks rap is all about drugs sex and money. Stupidest post i have read all day
Rhythm
Assisted
Poetry
i think we all find NF when we need him the most.
Wise words, all i have to say.
his words are so deep.
I honestly wonder what you define as new or interesting it seems your view on actual real music must be vague or non-existent cause what he says has more weight and meaning than anything you could ever even bring your self to understand . the next time you want to take down real art . Ask yourself if you say something new or interesting everyday if you can not put that in a song then kindly remain silent .
Name 1 other artist that puts the same things in context the way he has done. The reason he has weight and meaning is because his words, his music, his art isn't his to begin with. Correct me if I'm wrong but this man is reaching out for souls. He's using Christ. The bible tells us he will give you a tongue they cannot gainsay nor resist. The Lords using him to reach souls in the balance. I've looked at many "Christian" artists. I don't think any of them have as much of a leading as NF, music wise and spiritually. Life experiences has given him an very deep understanding to coincide with what the Lords given him.
+Bryan Guduli
reading that honestly made me cringe.
good song? sure.
new? not even remotely. "you're all asleep" has been done as a song theme a million or so times.
interesting? to a degree; good instrumental, good breakdown. but this is hardly more artful than a "booze and bitches"-type song.
alejandro saucedo lol what are you on
chavezery09 all of nf's songs are insanely more artful that a "booze and bitches" song. every song that he writes is about a personal struggle that he is dealing with or has dealt with, which brings hope and inspiration to people, while all the "booze and bitches" songs basically tell people of all ages, including MINORS, that it's OK to have sex and smoke illegal drugs and drink. he is using the gift that God gave him to write these songs. what would you rather have as a role model for your kids, wiz khalifa, someone where all of their song is about drinking and smoking, basically telling people to do it, or NF, someone who writes songs about his life and his struggles and gives hope to people struggling with the same thing as him and helping them survive the tough times in their lives?
Only those that understand, will understand his music.
that's literally the definition of understand
Well i do
Amen

Damn, on the NF journey for a week and this shit is still a ride!
does anyone else notice that NF never cusses and somehow still manages to make some of the best rap out there.
Yup
MikeFromLunch why do you need to cuss. Cussing shows that you are not intelligent enough to think of a better word to use.
MikeFromLunch ikr
MikeFromLunch he already said in one song that he doesnt
Because he is a Christian rapper !!!

Grimlock His/her comment was meant to be funny...
Look for Jesus bro. He is life
He wrote this through pain. He wrote this by being honest with himself. He is first and foremost speaking about himself. Which is why he was able to convey it so vividly. Video was okay too, helped a little.
NFs music is literally therapy. I will never understand why people hate on him. He literally writes about his life, and his past. He doesn't curse in his songs, He writes from heart. while other rappers just write crap about Guns, s3x, etc. (Not saying all Rappers are like this) but its very common for most rappers to just rap about the same things. NF is different. And that's one of the things I love about him ❤
Dude all lost my wife to be about 8 weeks ago and I came across NF and now i listen to him every day he has saved my life more than one
God bless you and help you in that sad situation you facing🙏
Yes Nf songs help a lot of people , i used the song of Nf ''Why could you leave us'', to wake up the conscience of my big brother and give him a reason to overcome his addiction to smoke.
May Jesus help us all

i like how nf is one of the few lyricists that can get his point across without an overdose of f bombs or explicit content shows how intelligent he is
Yes!!!!!
I love nf but saying curse words doesn't make you unintelligent. If that's the case hip hop artist like Mac Lethal,Dan bull,Kendick Lamar and eminem aren't intelligent and they dont have good lyrics which is wrong.
He's Christian, and as a Christian I am extremely proud how his Fame hasn't changed him. God bless NF and anybody seeking peace and love through his music ❤️
Sphaerio Pegasi Thats a jacked up list you have there.
That's my reasoning for why I like him more than eminem
Eminem raps from the head
NF raps from the heart
And yet, everyone still wants them to duet
Right? Eminem is obviously the rap god but his lyrics could never reach NF's emotional depth
thats where nf and eninem are completely different.
To everyone thinking its "bad" , not it ain't.
If you rap from the head you have lyrics that play with ppls mind . Makes em think , makes em question . Basically : smart
If you're rapping from the heart it means that you wanna touch other ppls hearts . Make others seem like they ain't alone and assure that they're ok .
We dun always wanna hear sad songs . I cant hear let you down when I'm happy as heck . I'm obviously gonna hear rap God over it . It's just that they're used differently . None is better nor worse
@@monalletinie143 have you ever heard 'darkness' or 'beautiful' or 'the way i Am' or 'stan' or 'when i'm gone' and i could go on Forever

*LYRIC*
You spend your life in a dream that you can't escape
'Cause you live your life in a coma, you're never awake
If you'd open your eyes then maybe you'd see what's at stake
You're sleeping, you're sleeping
You make a lot of money and you live in a mansion
And pretty much got everything that you could ever imagine
But you feel like even though you got everything in the world
You got nothing, so what you do then is you start going backwards
You runnin' in a direction
And you lookin' for something that isn't real
And all you know is that you just gotta have it
What you're doin' is sleepin'
And thinking that you're awake and you're not
And the problem is that you don't know what you're after
So you put everything that you have into what you do
Hoping that one day maybe you don't have to feel like you're empty
But as you get older a lot of weight on your shoulders is getting heavy
Then you look back and you start to regret things
You only get one life
And every time you lookin' at yours
You feel like everything you have is a waste!
And the problem and the reason you could never fill a hole in your life
Is because you were never awake
You spend your life in a dream that you can't escape
'Cause you live your life in a coma, you're never awake
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
You wake up in the morning
But you feel like you never got up and go to work
And you feelin' like you ain't got a purpose
And you tryna get motivated but everything you do turns into a mess
Like you ain't nothing but worthless
And, yo, you look around
A lot of these other people you lookin' at
To you, you describe as perfect
So you point a finger at God and tell him to do his job
And fix ya' life up cause nothin' is workin'
And you will try to hide and make it seem like it's nothin'
But really you feel like everything is crashin' around you
And you develop a problem in trustin' in other people
Which later became an issue that will mentally pound you
You only get one life
But every time you lookin' at yours you feel like all you ever see are mistakes
And the problem and the reason you could never move forward in life
Is because you were never awake
Wake up
You spend your life in a dream that you can't escape
'Cause you live your life in a coma, you're never awake
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
You spend your life in a dream that you can't escape
'Cause you live your life in a coma, you're never awake
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up

At the end of the day, I get into bed, pull the covers over my head and listen to NF's music, and I'm going to admit, I am depressed and I have thought about killing myself before but the only reason I haven't is because of Nate's music, because at the end of the day while I'm under the cover listening to NF, I cry. I don't mean to put pressure on Nate when I say his music keeps me alive if he stopped making music I would be VERY sad, but I would listen to the songs that are already made, but Nate's music is what keeps me from losing my emotions completely. I Love his music.
Glad to know I'm not the only one. I literally listen to his music every night before I go to sleep. I love NF
That is a sad life. Society has numbed us down to such a level where most people need music to feel real emotion. If you're a moody teen, this will pass. But if you're a grown up you need help, this aint no way to live.
@@heikg I Agree about society people don't realize honestly just the sheer level of fukry an child can go through an be scarred forever from no matter how much you wanna change or go forward its always there an sometimes it makes itself known sometimes it lays dormant but in the end it will always cause the person torment.

I was an early adopter of Nate's music, but honestly, you never know how asleep you truly are until you wake up. 9 years later, watching this and looking at the lyrics made me weep as I now have true understanding of this. This hits harder than anything I have ever witnessed before. Word for word, it was exactly like looking at my life for the past 10 years. Nate, you truly are blessed with true insight.
I love that he doesn't swear and he still tells the story.

Requis I'm not religious because I'm a realist. Not knocking religion it's just strayed from the path it was intended. And the way I think is way too different.
i'm not religious either .. rather, I have a personal relationship with the King Jesus Christ, but yet not perfect. Enjoy the music, it's good stuff. only just discovered him, crazy :)
I don't understand where this idea of his music being super religious comes from because I don't get that from it at all.
I was this woman in the room. He took both of our kids, while I was working two jobs, getting stressed, paying for our house, everything, he did nothing but stay with them. Never gave me a chance to be a mom. It was all about control, from incubator to professional worker, no time to be a mom inbetween. It destroyed me. Been fighting to see my two kids ever since. He doesn't believe that I have a mothering bone in my body. It's so hard, not to believe he's right. All I know is to work, cook and clean. I feel like such a horrible person for it. They didn't deserve that. All I ever wanted was to be a mom. It's like constantly being torn, between wanting to fight and wanting to let go, thinking you'll do a crappy job anyways.
It's not your fault he put so many responsibilities on you that you had no time to be there for your kids. As long as you don't stop fighting for them.
Go to them now.
Be that mum. Right now.
And don't stop. X
Jesus loves you, He hears your cry and wants to be your friend. Accept Him in your life and your life will change💕 Your life is so precious, never take it. I’m so happy you exist🥺💕
My circumstances are similar to yours. I’m experiencing this right now during a contentious Divorce with my soon to be Ex-Husband he controlled me, when he was losing control he used the kids to control me. Calling CPS 4 times in a year, false child abuse accusations investigated & cleared. When they lose control over you, they use what they can. When they’ve used up what they can, they control how others perceive you, spreading lies so much to the point that you question yourself and believe you are the problem. But it’s his control he seeks over every aspect of your life. Til you have nothing are nothing and hopeless without him, and your children. That’s a severe Domestic Violence and emotional abuse situation. Get in touch with Turning Point or other Domestic Violence Agencies.

NF is an acquired taste, it takes a certain amount of despair and depression to honestly understand and connect to his music
not really. You can be an over-thinker and not have depression.
I would agree with both these statements
What if you're a bit of both and his music gives you HOPE? 😉
I don't know what genre this is but I am in love with the sound, message, and feel. How have I not heard of him before.....
Christian rap
Cloe James same for me, until I heard the “let you down” song I didn t even know there is such a talented person out there
Cause his passion and reasoning is not popular or mainstream in society.

Without Jesus, we feel so empty, broken and worthless always searching for something to fill our emptiness. We were created to be with Him to love and be loved by Him. Without Him, we are asleep. Wake Up.
Its 2023 - I'm almost 60 and ive just found NF 😆 Hope was my initiation and I'm hooked. ❤
Trust me I don’t think you’ll find a song you don’t like. All of its real, beautiful, and moving. The more people know about Nate, the better off the world is. Fame and success has not gotten the best of him and he’s continuing to stand up for what is right.
@THEREALNFEXPERT You're right - There isn't a song I don't love - Nate is a beautiful human. @Renmakesmusic is the only other artist that I feel the same about. Every track is an emotional roller-coaster, but my goodness- These two amazing artists have been more effective than decades of psychotherapy.

It is rare to find an artist who can make you feel every emotion possible; they can make you cry, be angry, be anxious, be happy, be hyped up, felt understood. It is also rare that they genuinely can't bring out a bad song. NF is one of these rare artists. Of course I have favourites, but I literally find every one of his songs good.
I really hope NF comes to Germany next year for his Clouds tour. Also cannot wait for his next album (as he said in That's a Joke - "I been writin' chill, Just chew on this 'til the record's built, okay."
Thank you for helping me realize what I was doing wrong....I see now that I was never awake. Time to wake up.

+Roger Stewart yessss, it was God who did it all. Nf was used through God to reach PokeManzPlays
Yay I'm so happy for you. Christianity isn't all about doing things a certain way like some churches make it to be. It's not about restrictions or keeping to certain standards. It's about finding a real relationship with God. He's there but he's just quiet in this world. I wish you all the best, I'm still finding my way
With the "local" churches openly protesting against gays ? The same ones that preach forgiveness and acceptance ? I Cant stand "most" of the typical hypocritical Sunday Christians . First to judge . Stuff like this is a great way to get it back out there. i
And what makes you think that Christianity is any more valid that the countless religions around the world? And if you don't think it is any more valid why choose Christianity over any other religion?
NF, I really appreciate your music. There is little light in this dark world that needs jesus

Castro I know the feeling. Keep your head up. We all have a piece we left in country. Just don't let it be the good part of you
Since i haven't seen the lyrics in the comments, here:
You spend your life in a dream that you can't escape
Cause you live your life in a coma, you're never awake
If you'd open your eyes then maybe you'd see what's at stake
You're sleeping, you're sleeping
[Verse 1]
You make a lot of money and you live in a mansion
And pretty much got everything that you could ever imagine
But you feel like even though you got everything in the world
You got nothing
So what you do then is you start going backwards
You runnin' in a direction
And you lookin' for something that isn't real
And all you know is that you just gotta have it
What you're doin' is sleepin'
And thinking that you're awake and you're not
And the problem is that you don't know what you're after
So you put everything that you have into what you do
Hoping that one day maybe you don't have to feel like you're empty
But as you get older a lot of weight on your shoulders is getting heavy
Then you look back and you start to regret things
You only get one life
And every time you lookin' at yours
You feel like everything you have is a waste!
And the problem and the reason you could never fill a hole in your life
Is because you were never awake
[Hook]
You spend your life in a dream that you can't escape
Cause you live your life in a coma, you're never awake
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up!
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up!
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up!
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up!
[Verse 2]
You wake up in the morning
But you feel like you never got up and go to work
And you feelin' like you ain't got a purpose
And you tryna get motivated but everything you do turns into a mess
Like you ain't nothing but worthless
And, yo, you look around
A lot of these other people you lookin' at
To you, you describe as perfect
So you point a finger at God and tell him to do his job
And fix ya' life up cause nothin' is workin'!
And you will try to hide and make it seem like it's nothin'
But really you feel like everything is crashin' around you
And you develop a problem in trustin' in other people
Which later became an issue that would mentally pound you!
You only get one life
But every time you lookin' at yours you feel like all you ever see are mistakes
And the problem and the reason you could never move forward in life
Is because you were never awake
Wake up
[Hook]
You spend your life in a dream that you can't escape
Cause you live your life in a coma, you're never awake
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up!
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up!
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up!
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up!
You spend your life in a dream that you can't escape
Cause you live your life in a coma, you're never awake
Thanks
Thank youuu

@@deancreighton7533 stolen, but still here. Lol 😂
Don't know why I find it so funny. =)
My entire life I blamed God for everything. Every trauma was God’s fault, even when it was my own. I tried everything, every drug, every song, everything to heal the hole in my chest. Until I realized, God was the only one there through all of it. It was not God hurting me, it was my own demons. As soon as I truly woke up and opened my eyes to the blessings God has given me even in the darkest times, that is when that hole was filled. Completely gone. Such a peace knowing how important I am, so important that God stuck by me all these years and just forgave me with open arms. I still communicate to God through music. He gets me. This song is a reminder of his glory when I woke up. Praise God!!! Thank You Jesus!!!
Feeling this song , really showed me how deep my depression got. I hate the way I feel inside , but ... at least I got somewhere to go and listen the words of wisdom that I really need. Thank you Nate. God bless.
MLife Nightcore Even if i don't know you, i wish that you're alright and i'm sure that you will wake up. God with you in every circonstance of your life even in the worses moments. God bless you, you can do that ❤
Thank you so much .. I'm dealing with a lot of trouble rn and this really helps. Thank you!
MLife Nightcore You welcomee ! 😀 That's just come to answer your commentary like that. I don't know why because i don't do this often (specially because i don't speak english very well). But i just feel that you're so special and don't worry about your problems, you will fix all of them but don't do that by your self strength but asks God's help. Don't give upp, I know that you can to that, you are loved 👊. Also : Joshua 1:9
Head up!! Im trying to keep pace as well, Better days are to come! 😎
This song heal me, when I got delusion and overthinking.

"You developed a problem in trusting in other people which led to became an issue that would mentally pound you"
This is the most accurate quote out of all his songs. I mean all of his quotes and lyrics are amazing but this one just hits another level.
yeah trust issues
This came up as I heard it
Best personal struggle music
"You spend your life in a dream, you can't escape... 'Cause you live your life in a coma- you're never awake." #powerful #truth
Amen
Finally, music videos with story. Thanks NF
Yea seriously, finally one without just a bunch of naked girls

He's helped a lot of people. I'm 52 and he's helped me. I relate to him
NF is Sad
Its ok to be sad
Happy to be Sad , Sad to be Happy
Thats NF’s Music to me
When NF raps anything is possible, his music is the definition of inspiration. And when your feeling like your life ain't worth anything just pull up an NF album and listen.
he can sing and rap! that is talent!
Nf is therapy for me from my past
When I was younger I loved NF's music. The first song that stood out was Outcast, because dispite growing up around a lot of people, I still felt too different to belong. As I grew up I began to understand more and more of his songs as they started speaking to me about things that I was going through. Happy spoke to how I felt months ago and how I still kind of feel today, but then I look back and see how far I've come. NF is truly blessed with this talent to reach others and show them that they're not alone. God bless all
Truthfully this describes me. Lots of money, minimal happiness. God please fill my life with content and to walk in Your way
I hope and pray that you grew with your faith
will prayers for u, im in this as well, watching my husband chase his dreams.
+will Keep on fighting man, and if you don't want that money i can take some hehe. kidding tho
+ 1 😔😖
If you are rich... Don't be rich with money. Do something in the world to show God to the world. Pay for some kids school, trip to do missionary work, or buy bibles. It's bible month bro. No time better then now to start
This song hits me so hard because sometimes i feel like I'm just sleepwalking through life. I'm 21 but i feel like I haven't lived at all. Started 4 uni careers but dropped out from all of them. Now I started a new career but sometimes i feel like I'm not putting in all the effort i should. I recognize my problems and i go to therapy, i change for a while but then i go back to the beginning. Sometimes i feel like screaming to myself "fucking wake up!! Stop giving up, finish what you start for once, fight for your life!!!". God, i want to stop feeling like this
You will surely scale through if you focus
You might have ADHD/ADD. Look into it. I have it and the medication I take for it changed my life.
I had similar issues and even now question my decision. I know I will be okay though because I spent a few years out of school to discover myself. I found I do not like sitting at work for long periods or working at computers, also that I’m good at problem solving and working with my hands. As long as I have a job with these basic parameters I will be happy :). What I’m saying is, don’t worry so much, take in your surroundings, live in the moment and find who you really are. Life will follow accordingly
I feel you... keep looking, keep searching, be kind to yourself. I have gone through many different and sometimes difficult phases in my life, only to get to know and love myself more and more through each crisis.
Wishing you strength, courage, love and perseverance.
This will pass. You are the most important person in your life. You can have compassion for yourself.
The pain will pass.
have you pushed though?
Be safe and look after yourself..god loves you
his music is universal. it doesnt matter how long you've been here, nf's music speaks truth
In need prayers over my marriage and kids. Thank you am god bless you all ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

NES8bitcollector what's wrong.
God sees your struggle and pain sounds cliche but it's one thing we have to hold onto. it helps us a lot
nf is the best Christian rapper I know his one song helped me find the Lord
Good for you!
where did you find "the lord"?
Just let him be man
well you can find the Lord by going to church and getting baptized
You have a public statement when you go to church and get baptized. You don't necessarily find the Lord when you do this. It is just a symbol. You can find the lord when you see the problems in your life, and accept him. getting baptized is just a public statement showing your faith.
My childhood into adulthood.... but praise God, now im awake...!!!!! Just keep moving FORWARD ONLY to Jesus Christ 🙏 ❤
can respect an artist that speaks of the demons,their past and the things most refuse to admit. truth.... got a fan here.
I can feel the pain in his voice everytime I hear this song... This song makes me feel like I am not the only person in the world feeling lost. Im not awake. I need to wake up... Thank you nf this song gives me lIife...♡
Aniya Anderson wake the fuck up! lol if you want to try to bring on your awakening do some yoga stretches and deep breathing. Also, this might sound weird to you but talk to the Universe. You'd be suprised. She's a girl that just wants to be noticed and appreciated. I rubbed the back of my skull where the digits are and meditate. There's stuff of yt that walks you through it. Mindvalley has a really good one. You'll get there. Oh, watch some videos about it and things that arise, they have daily videos with some pretty cool guys. Nemaste.
Aniya Anderson same and I'm trying to do the same!
Talk to God❤
This song describes exactly how I feel sometimes.
same
How I feel all the time
Same
Nf for ever .In every one's heart
Who listen to him❤❤
Where have you been NF? Why am I just discovering your music? Love it all. We played this song for our youth group and it has impacted not only their lives but mine as well.
People say that all of NF’s music is sad, but really it’s about how to escape sadness
Bro where you been my whole life ?? I found your music like 3 hours ago and you are all ive listen to! Deep content
Hans Sirlopu
Listen to his Therapy Session album (2016) and his album he JUST released 3 days ago.
I just discovered him. Please suggest some of his songs
green Arrow outcast,intro 3,mansion,let you go,destiny,how could you leave us,3am
Probably heard them by now but Dreams and My life
Hans Sirlopu same here,2hours ago,and I'm like why do I not know him
Nothing but bangers from NF
He inspires. All those like him. Suicide. Is never. Ok. And he still lives.
He's a good singer along with being one of the best rappers most people have ever heard.
2018 still here.
Goosebumps.
Every. Single. Time.
Moriah Ellis 2019 still get goosebumps every time
NF is God's gift to us all thank you NF and thank you God
this song will wake you up literally
Jay Mars both
It will also cause depression if u listen closely enough
Ray Lovell True, but we gotta feel that depression, use it as an example of how we DON'T want to be, and take steps to grab our dream life. For me, that's a happy & less stressful life for my children and I do not want to be rich. I just want as much joy as possible. Life is all about those joyful moments (which we CHOOSE to create), although nobody feels joy all the time. We can increase those joyful seconds, minutes, days. Sorry for the novel I just wrote. Haha BUT, seriously, I've struggled with depression my entire life. By concentrating on (and appreciating) the things I have, no matter how small) it changes your perspective. You'll Slip back into negatively at times, (that's normal) but don't stay in that state of mind for too long. Feel it, then let it go. I hope this helps someone. ❤
one of the deepest songs and videos i've ever seen.
People walking through life not awake...this song hits home
its the first of the month!
my new addiction is nf he's so real. finally another artist with passion and realism. lost hope with this generation of rappers for a second.
