Statement
NF Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm boss with it, authentic, all y'all frauds better
Quit with the trash talk before you get tossed in it
Y'all tripping, bar ripping, y'all sipping too much, right to the palms dripping
Lost in it, thoughts different, you don't want no drama? Then don't get involved in it
I'm in a whole different head space, you making money? Well that's great
I got no interest in talking to people that I know are two faced
Too fake, get outta my face, woo
What are you doing in my lane? There's already too many rappers
I'm sick of the traffic and I ain't got no brakes
I already passed you, you don't like what I'm doing, who asked you?
You got into music 'cause you think it's fun, man I'm doing this 'cause I have to
It's real music, chills to it, feel through it, real stupid
Skills truest, quit moving, woo
If I say something, I will do it
I used to dream of these moments
I'm living 'em now
Look up to heaven like mom are you proud?
I'm on a way to New Zealand, I'm up in the clouds, dang
I mean who woulda' known this, who woulda' known this?
This industry never told me I was welcome
I went to the house in the back
And I broke in then told 'em that I would be back
I flat line, all of your whack rhymes, that's mine
Might get away from it boy MM LP, I'm the bad guy, the last time
I have been taking it easy, the game's mine, fame why?
I don't care about none of that, I'm just speaking the trash lines
I grew up on Eminem, now look where the game's at
Lame raps, Hollywood fame acts, I'm sick of the same trash
I got no blunt in my mouth but give me a beat, I'mma blaze that
Give me a beat, I'mma blaze that, you and me ain't in the same class
You and me ain't on the same row, music has always been my home
I used to call up some people that won't call me back, now they blowing up my phone, woo!
Ain't it funny how that works? Mad perks, killing the record
Got blood on my black shirt, I'm jealous in love with the music, don't ever come near her

I ain't from around here, how you let me run it down here?
If that isn't bothering none of you rappers then what are y'all doing out here?
It was like music to my ears, might never make it, I don't care
Drake, I love what you doing but call up the game and tell 'em that I'm here, yeah
I like that, might snap, I laugh, y'all better surrender and get out your white flags
And cancel your flight plans, your career isn't taking off
You sound like a hype man, hit you with the mic stand
And they ask what the hype's about, come and find out, I mean, where is you clowns at?
I been training, pen game is insane, I'm done playing
This music is ground breaking, lung shaking, done waiting
Y'all taking my patience, quit faking, y'all hating, it's crazy




I mean you know who my name is, rhyme slayer, stop Nathan
Woo!

I'm way ahead of you, and if you don't like my style, then keep your opinion to yourself


You got into music 'cause you think it's fun, man I'm doing this 'cause I have to
You're in it for the fame and pleasure, but I'm in it because I feel like I need to express myself through music


It's real music, chills to it, feel through it, real stupid
My music is authentic and emotional, and I don't care if people think I'm being foolish


Skills truest, quit moving, woo
My skills are undeniable, so stop trying to challenge me


If I say something, I will do it
I don't make empty promises, and I always follow through on my word


I used to dream of these moments
I've been working hard for a long time to make it in the music industry, and now I'm finally achieving my dreams


I'm living 'em now
All the hard work is paying off, and I'm enjoying the success that comes with it


Look up to heaven like mom are you proud?
I know my late mother would be proud of me for all that I've accomplished


I'm on a way to New Zealand, I'm up in the clouds, dang
I'm traveling the world and performing for my fans, and it feels like I'm on top of the world


I mean who woulda' known this, who woulda' known this?
It's incredible how far I've come, and sometimes I still can't believe it


This industry never told me I was welcome
The music industry can be tough to break into, and I had to work hard to prove myself


I went to the house in the back
I had to work my way up from the bottom, and I wasn't afraid to take unconventional routes


And I broke in then told 'em that I would be back
I was determined to make a name for myself, and I let people know that I wasn't going anywhere


I flat line, all of your whack rhymes, that's mine
My rhymes are so much better than yours that I can make your whole career flatline


Might get away from it boy MM LP, I'm the bad guy, the last time
I've worked too hard to let anyone take me down, and I'm not backing down from anyone


I have been taking it easy, the game's mine, fame why?
I'm already successful, so I don't need to keep pushing myself too hard to prove anything


I don't care about none of that, I'm just speaking the trash lines
I'm not concerned with pleasing anyone but myself, and I'll say what I want regardless of how people perceive it


I grew up on Eminem, now look where the game's at
Eminem was a huge influence on my music and now I'm making waves of my own in the industry


Lame raps, Hollywood fame acts, I'm sick of the same trash
I'm not impressed by the superficial and uninspired music that's being put out by many artists in the industry


I got no blunt in my mouth but give me a beat, I'mma blaze that
I don't need to be high to make good music, give me a beat and I'll kill it regardless


Give me a beat, I'mma blaze that, you and me ain't in the same class
I'm confident in my abilities and I know that I'm on a different level than many other rappers in the game


You and me ain't on the same row, music has always been my home
I've always felt at home in the world of music, and I know that it's where I belong


I used to call up some people that won't call me back, now they blowing up my phone, woo!
I've come a long way and now the people who used to ignore me are trying to get in touch, but I don't need them anymore


Ain't it funny how that works? Mad perks, killing the record
It's ironic how the people who ignored me are now trying to benefit from my success, but I'm not letting them


Got blood on my black shirt, I'm jealous in love with the music, don't ever come near her
I'm willing to do whatever it takes to protect and nurture my passion for music, and I won't let anyone get in the way of that


I ain't from around here, how you let me run it down here?
I'm not from the same background as many other rappers, but I've still managed to become successful in the industry


If that isn't bothering none of you rappers then what are y'all doing out here?
If my success isn't making you feel insecure or motivated to improve your own craft, then why are you even bothering to compete in this industry?


It was like music to my ears, might never make it, I don't care
Even when I was struggling to get noticed, the idea of making music was enough to keep me going and I didn't care about fame or success


Drake, I love what you doing but call up the game and tell 'em that I'm here, yeah
Even though I appreciate Drake's music, I'm still confident in my own skills and want to prove myself in the industry


I like that, might snap, I laugh, y'all better surrender and get out your white flags
I'm confident in my abilities and willing to take down anyone who tries to challenge me


And cancel your flight plans, your career isn't taking off
You might have had aspirations for success, but you're not going anywhere in this industry


You sound like a hype man, hit you with the mic stand
Your lyrics and delivery are weak, and I wouldn't hesitate to physically attack you for trying to hype up your own music


And they ask what the hype's about, come and find out, I mean, where is you clowns at?
If you're wondering why people are so excited about my music, come see for yourself, and try to find a way to compete with me


I been training, pen game is insane, I'm done playing
I've worked hard to hone my skills and I'm ready to take on anyone who challenges me


This music is ground breaking, lung shaking, done waiting
My music is powerful and revolutionary, and I'm not going to wait any longer for people to recognize that


Y'all taking my patience, quit faking, y'all hating, it's crazy
I'm tired of all the fake people and the negativity in the rap industry, and I refuse to put up with it anymore


I mean you know who my name is, rhyme slayer, stop Nathan
My name and my skills are well known, and anyone who tries to challenge me will be put in their place


Woo!
I'm fired up and ready to take on the world with my music
