Time
NF Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And you say you hate me, and we go to bed angry
I know everything will be alright
I'll be here waiting, I promise I'm changing
I just need
A little time to show you I'm worth it
I know that I can be a difficult person
Actually, I'm probably worse when I'm not, you don't deserve it
Make you nervous 'cause you know I'ma break soon
Every time I do, I say somethin' that hurts you
Actin' like I'm gone, but we both in the same room
I don't like to be wrong, which I know you relate to
And I know I make you feel like you're at the end of your rope
That's when I look at you and tell you I'd be better alone
Just the pride talkin', isn't it? 'Cause both of us know
I'm the definition of "wreck" if you look into my soul
Comes out the most when I feel I'm in a vulnerable place
Made a lot of mistakes I wish I knew how to erase
When I'm afraid, might get distant and I push you away
But no matter the case, I'ma do whatever it takes even if
Even if we both break down tonight
And you say you hate me, and we go to bed angry
I know everything will be alright
I'll be here waiting, I promise I'm changing
I just need
Time (oh)
I, I need time (oh, oh)
I just need time (oh)
I, I need time (oh)
Time (oh), time (oh)
Yeah, way before I bought you the ring
We were fighting back and forth like you were wearin' the thing
Two passionate people not afraid to say what they think
Lead to passionate conversation when it's hard to agree
You know me well, sittin' on the edge of my seat
Lookin' at life, overanalyzin' everything
Always depressed, tryna find a better version of me
Searching for somethin' I know's prolly right in front of my feet
Stubborn as me? Maybe not, but you're close to it
Got a lot of issues, I'm tryin' to work through 'em
Going to therapy for you's somethin' that's worth doin'
When I know you been there for me through all of my worst moments
And I know it hurts knowing that I carry this weight on my chest
Making it difficult for me to open up and connect
Lot of regrets, I apologize for all of the stress
That's not what I meant to do, you know I love you to death even if-
Even if we both break down tonight
And you say you hate me, and we go to bed angry
I know everything will be alright
I'll be here waiting, I promise I'm changing
I just need
Time (oh)
I, I need time (oh, oh)
I just need time (oh)
I, I need time (oh)
Time (oh), time (oh)
I just need time (oh)
I, I need time (oh, oh)
I just need time (oh)
I, I need time (oh)
Time (oh), time (oh)

on HOPE
The song HOPE by NF is about finding hope and defining success through difficult times. The first verse addresses a person who has been dragging their feet for thirty years and not fulfilling their promises, causing stagnation. The chorus of the song, "Hope", is a message to himself to not lose faith in himself and to keep going, as people have been praying for his soul. Following the chorus, the rapper defines his own version of success, which revolves around listening to God, standing up for one's beliefs, dreaming big, working hard, and being willing to take a chance on something that could be considered impossible.
The second verse continues to delve into the rapper's personal struggles and growth, including having regrets and carrying baggage. However, he also discusses the positive outcomes of going through tough times, such as a mental breakdown that led to getting help and healing. The rapper concludes the song by taking charge of his own life and declaring that he is the one in charge of his own destiny and the direction of his life.
Overall, HOPE is a powerful and inspiring song that encourages listeners to have faith in themselves and their abilities, even in difficult times. It also emphasizes the importance of defining success based on personal beliefs and values rather than external validation or societal norms.
