Intro III
NF Lyrics

What, are you scared of me? It's embarassin'
Are you fearful of me? It's quite shameful.

If it wasn't for me, you would've never wrote Therapy
Without my influence, you would have never created the album Therapy.

I've been here for you, but how come you're never there for me?
I have supported you, but why don't you reciprocate that support?

It's a little bit twisted, but I miss when you and I had scary dreams
Although it's strange, I long for the time when we shared frightening aspirations.

I don't really wanna talk about it
I am not interested in discussing it.

Well, that's too bad now, Nate, shut up!
Well, that is unfortunate, now be quiet, Nate!

Now where were we?
Now, let's continue where we left off.

Way back in the day when
In the distant past when

You and I had it all mapped out in the basement
You and I had our plans and dreams prepared in the basement.

Cryin' in your room like a baby
Weeping in your room like an infant.

"I wish mom was here"
"I desire our mother's presence."

We all do so we wouldn't have to hear about it
We all feel the same way because then we wouldn't have to listen to the sorrow.

Every single record you don't really wanna change me
In each one of your songs, you truly don't want to transform me.

Yeah, I'm the one that made this happen
Indeed, I am the figure who caused these circumstances.

Do you really wanna get rid of your main attraction?
Do you genuinely desire to eliminate your primary point of interest?

Let's pack our bags and go back to Gladwin now
We should gather our belongings and return to Gladwin at this moment.

Yeah, it's time for the third record
Yes, it is the appropriate moment for the third album.

And you know I got the content
And you are aware that I possess the substance.

I don't wanna make you nervous
I don't intend to make you anxious.

But it ain't like it used to be
However, it is not similar to how it previously was.

We got a lotta people watchin'
We have numerous individuals observing us.

You told me that you don't want me in your life
You informed me that you do not want me present in your life.

That's pretty hard to digest
That is quite challenging to comprehend.

And I told you I'd leave when we die, and we ain't died yet
And I told you I would depart only upon our demise, which has not occurred yet.

Therapy Session was beautiful, Nate, but I'm wonderin' what's comin' next
Therapy Session was remarkable, Nate, but I am curious about the future.

Yeah, get that stupid hat off of your head when I'm talkin' to you, you hear what I said?
Yes, remove that foolish hat from your head when I am addressing you, do you comprehend my statement?

You don't like the prison I built you?
Are you dissatisfied with the confinement I constructed for you?

Yeah, you wanna know what the funny thing is?
Yes, do you wish to discover the amusing aspect?

You keep on talkin' to me like a stranger, but we've been together since you were a kid
You persist in conversing with me as if we are unfamiliar, yet we have been companions since your childhood.

Took us from a no-name
Elevated us from obscurity.

Told you everything was okay
Assured you that everything was fine.

Now you tryna cut me out of it like I ain't never been a part of it
Now you are attempting to remove me from it as if I have never been involved.

I am the heart of it, I made this whole thing
I am the core of it, I constructed this entire entity.

Yeah, I put us on the dope stage
Yes, I placed us on the impressive stage.

You must have no brain
You must lack intelligence.

What's the point of having guns if you can't aim?
What is the purpose of possessing firearms if you are unable to aim accurately?

What's the point of having blood with no vein?
What is the significance of having blood without a vein?

What's the point of having love with no pain?
What is the purpose of having love without experiencing pain?

What I'm sayin' is me without you doesn't make any sense
What I am trying to convey is that my existence without you lacks coherence.

I know I'm intense in controlling, but you need to learn how to cope with it
I am aware that I can be overwhelming and domineering, but you must develop strategies to deal with it.

That's just the way that it is
That is simply the reality of the situation.

If you didn't want me to live in your house, you shouldn't have let me move in
If you did not desire me to reside in your residence, you should not have permitted me to relocate there.

It's comfortable here and I like it, I got my own room and everything
I feel at ease in this environment and I enjoy it, I even have my own personal space.

It don't get better than this!
It does not surpass this level of satisfaction!

You say you wanna own your life, then wake up and take your own advice
You claim to desire control over your own existence, so awaken and heed your own counsel.

You just mad 'cause you know I'm right
You are merely angry because you acknowledge that I am correct.

Yeah, I'm flattered you put me in Mansion, but you should've told 'em right
Yes, I am honored that you included me in Mansion, but you should have informed them accurately.

'Bout your hands on the coldest nights
Regarding your supportive actions during the most chilling evenings.

You didn't tell 'em 'bout the times you and I used to hold the mic
You failed to disclose the moments when you and I would grasp the microphone.

I mean, what are you, outta your mind?
I mean, are you irrational?

'Cause both of us will be
Because both of us will exist in that condition.

Come on, let's go outside!
Come on, let's depart from this location!

Is this what you wanted?
Is this the outcome you desired?

Both of us out in the open? Let's do it then
Both of us exposed? Well, let us proceed.

I mean, why are you doin' this?
I mean, why are you engaging in this behavior?

I know that you're mad, but I'm not in the mood for this
I understand that you are angry, but I am not in the mindset to deal with this.

We got a record to drop
We have a musical release to deliver.

So why you actin' like I'm not a part of it?
Therefore, why are you behaving as if I am not involved?

And where is my shovel at?
Additionally, where is my shovel located?

Prolly all back where it always is, you can't get rid of all of me
Most likely, it is in its habitual place, because you cannot eliminate every part of me.

I'm the reason why
I am the cause of the present circumstances.

Nah, shut up, I don't wanna hear another sentence
No, be quiet, I do not wish to hear any more words from you.

Hey, I'm NF, is it me or the fear talkin'? What a dumb question
Hello, I am NF, is the one speaking me or the fear? What a foolish inquiry.

Yeah, it's real music 'til the day we die, right? Yeah, ain't that the slogan, Nathan?
Yes, it is authentic music until our last moments, correct? Yes, isn't that the motto, Nathan?

Thought I told you to keep your mouth shut
I believed I instructed you to remain silent.

I mean, so what? You know I never listen
I mean, what's the significance? You are aware that I never pay attention.

Let me guess
Allow me to make an assumption.

We gon' dig a hole, kill the track, and prolly put a beat in it
We are going to dig a grave, destroy the track, and perhaps bury a beat within it.

Rap about it for like three minutes
Create a rap about it for approximately three minutes.

Aye, that's pretty deep, isn't it?
Well, that is quite profound, is it not?

Wait a minute, you don't really think for a second that you're puttin' me in this?
Hold on, you don't genuinely believe for a moment that you are placing me in this situation, do you?

No, of course not, just a lil' deeper then we'll go inside and we can stop diggin'
No, definitely not, just a bit further and then we can return indoors and cease the excavation.

Woo!
Expressing excitement or enthusiasm.

You had me scared for a second, I thought we were diggin' my grave
You momentarily frightened me, I believed we were excavating my final resting place.

We did, what, you don't bein' afraid?
We accomplished that, what, aren't you frightened?

It's a dose of your own medicine
It is a measure of the same treatment you have given.

What, you don't like how it tastes?
What, don't you appreciate the flavor?

My therapist told me don't bury my issues, but I'ma be honest, man I'm feelin' great!
My therapist advised me not to suppress my problems, but I must confess, I am feeling fantastic!

I think it's only right we go back to where you were created
I believe it is appropriate for us to return to the place where you originated.

I wrote a song for Jonny without you, but he ain't gon' like it, let's see how he takes it
I composed a song for Jonny without your involvement, but he will not appreciate it, let's observe his reaction.

He prolly don't even remember us, does he?
He probably doesn't even recall our existence, does he?

I wish I was buryin' anger, but both of us know I'ma need him for that song
I wish I were burying my anger, but both of us recognize that I will require it for that particular song.

He still lives in the basement
He still resides in the basement.

Almost done, shoulda done this a year ago
Nearly finished, should have completed this task a year ago.

I don't know why I waited
I am uncertain as to why I delayed.

You know how I get it, I put everything off of my personal life, you hear what I'm sayin'?
You understand how important it is to me, I focus on everything except my personal life, do you comprehend my statement?

That was a joke
That was meant humorously.

Yeah, it's hilarious, ain't it?
Yes, it's incredibly amusing, don't you think?

You'll spend the rest of your life in my backyard or back of my mind, depends how you see it
You will live out the remainder of your existence either in my physical space or as a mere thought, it's a matter of perspective.

Put the shovel away, time to go back in the house now, you'll be out in a week
Put the shovel aside, it is time to return indoors, you will vacate in a week.

Tellin' me you want your room back, that's funny, what, you ain't got nowhere to sleep?
You are informing me that you desire your room back, that is amusing, have you nowhere else to sleep?

I'ma just look out the window and laugh at you, this is crazy to me
I will merely gaze out the window and laugh at you, this situation appears absurd to me.

'Cause I thought you had me in prison this whole time, but I'm the one holdin' the keys
Because I believed you had me confined all this time, but I am the one in possession of the keys.
