Notepad
NF Lyrics

You and I we've been through a lot together
I am grateful for the moments and experiences that we have shared.

And I look back and I just uh, I appreciate all the times that we had together, you know?
I feel thankful for the past and all the moments we have endured.

I remember just going down in my room and
Reflecting on the past, I recall emotional moments in my room.

You know dealing trying to deal with some things
I was working through my emotions and trying to cope with difficult feelings.

And you have always been there for that
Through it all, you have always stood by me and supported me.

Always, just me and you
We have always been there for each other, and our bond is unbreakable.

You and I've been best friends, ever since I was a young kid
Our friendship has been strong and unchanging since childhood.

Everything we did, where has time went?
Time has passed quickly, and it's hard to believe how much time has gone by.

Got a lot of years coming up ahead of us
Despite how much time has gone by, there are many years left in our future.

And ever since we met
From the moment we met, I knew our journey together would be significant.

I knew we'd get somewhere
I always had faith that we would reach our goals and achieve success.

But the fact is I ain't really, I ain't really know when
Although I was confident in our abilities, I wasn't sure when we would achieve our goals.

I don't really know how either, but I can feel the goose bumps my skin writing
I don't know exactly how we made it this far, but I am passionate and inspired about our progress.

Now I've been waiting for the moment
I've been eagerly anticipating the moment when we finally make it.

You and I can make it happen
With our combined effort and hard work, we can make our dreams a reality.

Lot of people think we ain't gonna make it rapping
Many people doubt our abilities and our chances for success in the music industry.

I ain't got a problem with 'em though, they don't even matter
I am not bothered by their doubts or criticism, as their thoughts don't impact our mission.

We ain't looking for the people tryna say that we the baddest
We aren't interested in validation or recognition from those who doubt us.

No I never liked that, came a long way, never did it for the money
I never focused on money or fame, and I have come a long way without that as my motivation.

We ever make it big, I'ma give it to the family
If we achieve success, I want to share my accomplishments with my loved ones.

Looking back now everything is looking funny
As I reflect on the past and our journey thus far, it all seems surreal.

You and I in the room writing, up late when the mood strikes us
We have spent countless late nights together, writing and creating when inspiration hits.

We don't care if they do like us
We aren't worried about others' opinions, and we create just for ourselves and our passion.

Writing songs for the haters we ain't even got yet
We create music not only for those who support us but for those who doubt us as well.

Freestyling somebody turn the mic up
In moments of creativity, we freely express our passions and creativity without restraint.

Talking bout things we don't really understand
In our lyrics and conversations, we often discuss topics and issues we don't fully comprehend or have experienced ourselves.

Talking bout things we don't really comprehend
We engage in creative expression even in areas where we lack full comprehension or experience.

Me and you tryna get it, we ain't quitting till the end
Together, we are determined to pursue our dreams and work tirelessly until we achieve success.

Now I'm standing on stage tryna give it to the fans, yah
My goal is to share my passion and music with others and make an impact on my fans' lives.

We took that karaoke machine from my room
Our beginnings were humble and began with limited resources.

And ah, we put it up to and CD player and played instrumentals and
We worked with the tools and resources we had, and we were creative in finding ways to make music.

Man we've come a long way
We have progressed and achieved so much from our humble beginnings.

I made a lot of mistakes
I have made many errors and faced many challenges in my journey thus far.

You've been there for the whole thing
Despite my mistakes and challenges, you have been a constant source of support and encouragement.

Help me with the drama
You have been a rock and provide me with emotional support when I have experienced difficult times.

Rapping in the car outside daily
We have been so passionate about our music that we create wherever we can, even in our car.

We don't care if it's the winter
Our passion for creativity and music knows no season or temperature.

We don't care if its the summer
We will pursue our passion and creativity no matter the season or weather.

I remember writing raps with the curse words
Early on, I experimented with different styles and approaches, even including curse words in my lyrics.

I just wanna hear it
Despite any challenges or obstacles, my greatest desire is to create music and express myself through my lyrics.

It seems like everybody does it
Although some approaches are overdone or cliché, I have faith in my unique voice and message.

Did it for awhile wasn't into all the cussin'
Over time, my creative voice and message evolved, and I moved away from including curse words in my lyrics.

Trying to find who I was
My creative journey has also mirrored my personal quest to understand my identity and place in the world.

Being everything I wasn't
Early on, I tried to conform to expectations and be someone I wasn't rather than being true to myself.

Real life yeah
My lyrics and music find inspiration in my personal experiences and real-life scenarios.

Gotta lot of anger
I have faced many challenges and frustrations, which have fueled my passion and creativity.

You know where I'm at
Despite the challenges I face, you are always there for me and have my back.

Put it all of it in the pages
In my lyrics and creative expression, I pour my emotions, thoughts, and experiences onto the page.

And wrote it into raps, said that we could be amazing, if I give us a chance
Through our passion and creativity, we can achieve greatness if we have faith in ourselves and our abilities.

Now I'm lookin round like yeah, look at where we at?
As I reflect on our journey thus far, I feel amazed and proud of how far we have come.

Look at where we at now, we ain't made it yet but they can here us in the background comin'
Although we haven't yet achieved all our goals, we are making progress and are on the path to success.

Some are gonna hate it, some are gonna love it
Not everyone will appreciate or understand our creative expression, and that's okay. We will continue to create for ourselves and our passion for music.

I'ma put it in his hands and let God do the judging, yah
Ultimately, we leave our creative expression and success in the hands of a higher power, trusting that it will be judged and appreciated accordingly.

Remember me and you always had you in the backpack
Our journey and passion for music began early, and I always carried my notepad in my backpack to capture my creative impulses.

Took you into school writing on you like its nuthin' a lot of people in the room
In school, I was often writing in my notepad to capture my creative ideas, much to the confusion of my peers and classmates.

See me scribble on a page but they ain't got a clue, naw they ain't got a clue
My creativity and drive for music was often misunderstood or overlooked by my peers and classmates.

We at the beginning hoping someday you and I can say
Although we are at the beginning of our journey, we have faith that we will achieve our goals and be able to look back on our success together.

We made it and we did it
Our passion and creativity will drive us to achieve success and overcome any obstacles or challenges.

You ain't nuthin' but a notepad to me, Who you kiddin?
My notepad is an essential tool in my creative process and is an integral part of my passion for music.

I'm just runnin out of space I'll be back in a minute
As my notepad is filled with creative expression, I will be back soon with a new notebook to continue my journey and passion for music.

Turn the page homie
I am inspired and passionate to continue my journey in music and turn to the next page in my notepad to continue capturing my creative ideas and expression.

You know what's crazy is
As I reflect on our journey and progress, I feel amazed and overwhelmed at times by the opportunity and success that we have achieved.

This just started as something that was an escape for us
Our passion for music and creativity originally began as an escape and source of comfort for us in difficult times.

And now I look around and, there's a lot of people going
As we progress and make an impact with our music, we have gained a following and inspired others to follow their passions as well.

Through the same things you know we've been through
Our message and creative expression have touched the lives and hearts of others who have experienced similar challenges and struggles.

Now this music we write is actually making an impact it's crazy
Our creative expression and message is having a real-world impact and touching the lives of others in profound ways.
