NF Lyrics

Look, I don't know what's gotten into me
I am feeling different, something inside of me has changed.

I could be off of my rocker potentially
I might be acting irrational or crazy.

Bigger I get, the more they thinkin' less of me
As I become more successful, some people begin to dislike me.

Don't be the one to insult my integrity
Do not disrespect my honesty and moral principles.

Put down the whistle, I'm done with you referees
Stop criticizing me, I do not need your judgement.

Y'all don't know nothing, you think you ejected me
You do not understand anything and believe that you have gotten rid of me.

'Til I show up in the game, like, 'Remember me?'
When I come back into the spotlight, you will remember who I am.

I gotta make it, these people depend on me
I must succeed as there are individuals who rely on me.

Threaten my wife, keep digging that grave
If you endanger my spouse, you are putting yourself in harm's way.

I had a job making minimum wage
I used to work at a low-paying job.

Told myself that I gotta get paid
I realized that I need to earn more money.

Prove myself, yeah, get up my grades
I need to demonstrate my ability and improve myself.

Walk into class like, 'Gimme that A'
I approach school with the mentality that I will get the best grades possible.

Think I'm trash? Put a bag in your face
If you underestimate me, you are in for a surprise.

And I put you by the road like, 'Look we're the same'
No matter who you are, we are all equally human and deserving of respect.

Here's a reminder that I still spit
I have not lost my ability to deliver great music.

Think I need to advise you to watch your lip
I believe you should stop talking and listen to me instead.

Or at least realize that I'm not no kid
Understand that I am not a child anymore and I demand to be taken seriously.

Don't Google my name tryna find my crib
Do not attempt to discover my personal information by searching for my name online.

Write a pop song, then I write a song like this
I am versatile and can create music in different genres, unlike those who only stick to mainstream pop music.

Do a lot wrong? Doesn't matter, I learn quick
Even if I make mistakes, it does not affect me since I am quick to learn from them.

I'm an outlaw, my brain has no fence
I am someone who disregards traditional rules and regulations and thinks outside the box.

Doesn't matter either way to me 'cause even if it did, I would destroy it (woo, woo, woo)
Even if rules mattered to me, I would break them anyways.

Used to be employee, now I'm employer
I used to work for someone else, but now I am in charge and provide jobs for others.

Making big deals, now I gotta get lawyers
As my success grows, I need legal assistance in making and negotiating large deals.

People tell me to relax and enjoy it
Others advise me to take a break and appreciate my success.

But when I kick back, I see warnings
I am aware of potential dangers and obstacles that may arise if I become too comfortable and lazy.

So much time might pass, can't ignore it
Time may pass by quickly, it is important to use it wisely.

Every time I rap and I'm recording
Whenever I make music and I record it.

Might be my last so I absorb it 'cause
They may be my final moments creating, so I savor every second.

Tool bag without the pliers
A tool bag without the crucial equipment needed to operate it.

Intros without the choirs
Introductions to songs that lack the grandeur of a choir's vocals.

New car without the tires
A vehicle that is missing the necessary parts to function properly.

Music without the writers
Songs that lack the talent and gift of strong lyricists and writers.

UFC without the fighters
The Ultimate Fighting Championship without the athletes that make it great.

Smoking without the fire
A cigarette without the necessary flame to light it.

Cigarettes without the lighter
Cigarettes without the instrument needed to light them.

Austin Powers, no Michael Myers, that's me
I am like a famous movie character without his well-known actor.

If I ain't got the bars, you see
Without my lyrical ability, you will be missing my undeniable musical talent.

Something ain't right like I'm incomplete
I feel like something is off and that I am unfulfilled.

Outcast, yes, I'm a different breed
I feel isolated and like I do not fit in with others.

If you disagree, make 'em all retreat
If someone opposes my opinion, I will make them back down.

Act like a boss when I compete
I am confident and act like a leader when faced with competition.

Take my thoughts into hyperspeed
I think very quickly and creatively, going beyond what is normal.

When it's all gone and I hit my peak
When my success has plateaued and I cannot rise anymore.

At least I'll know that I took that leap
I will have the satisfaction of knowing that I gave it my all despite the outcome.

'Cause life is a process
Life is a journey that we must all go through.

And I am not here for the nonsense
I am not here for the nonsense or drama that life sometimes brings.

Losing everything I worked for likes to weigh on my conscience
It is hard to bear the thought of losing everything I have worked hard to achieve.

That why I block out the comments
To avoid being affected by others' negative opinions, I choose not to read comments about myself.

Who's next? Who's next?
Who will be the next to come after me?

I don't know, I ain't been watching
I am uncertain and have not been paying attention to others in the industry.

Closing my ear to the gossip
I am ignoring rumors and hearsay about others, choosing not to listen or believe them.

No forfeit, my course different
I will never give up, my path and choices are different from others.

Changed flows and I'm bored with it
I am no longer content with my current style and am looking for something new.

More livid, never more driven, I avoid timid
I am more passionate and motivated than ever before, avoiding fear and hesitation.

Try to tell me I could never be the G.O.A.T. of rap, I ignore limits
Others may tell me that I will never be the greatest of all time in the rap industry, but I ignore their limitations and pursue my dream anyways.

I was born with this, you're trippin' thinkin' I'm slippin'
I have always had this talent, it is crazy to think that I am losing it.

I'm enjoying this, look at me, I'm on the tour selling more tickets
I am enjoying my success and can see it in my sold-out concerts.

Even if the fourth record didn't sell a copy, I'ma do it like a hobby
Even if my fourth album has no sales, I will still continue to make music as if it were a hobby.

I ain't quitting 'til the Lord tell me
I will not stop making music until God tells me otherwise.

Ay, these are the options
These are the only paths I can take.

Ah, these are the options
These are the only choices I have.

Woo, these are the options
These paths are what is available to me.

Yeah, these are the options
These are the only options I have.
