Born in London, Nathan is a mash of British, American and Jamaican culture, having spent time living in each country. His mother, Lorna Gee, is a reggae singer and continued to tour after Nathan was born, leaving him in his Grandmother's care in Spanish Town, Jamaica. At five years old, Nathan moved to New York City with his mother and at 10 his family moved back to London's southeast area, Forest Hill. It was there that Nathan began to perform with his mother during her shows and the performance seed was planted. Four years later, the young man began his R&B career with a stroke of luck on UK radio.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You don't understand all the love that I gave you
You ma everything girl why would I play you
Your last man was a clown I came to save you
So what makes you think that I ain't gonna stay true
Stop making excuses, it aint about the bling
It Aint about whether or not I lace you in pretty things
Because you cant just have me under surveillance
I don't even know why you've a change of heart
We've been here before, why you tearing us apart
Day after day, try to make things go your way
But whatever I say, you still think im tryna play
I remember when we was all bout having fun
Now I don't feel secure, cus of whats been said and done
Girl it's a shame, cus I'd do almost anything
I'm tired of the games its always the same
Round and round we go
Your love, it changes like the weather
And baby don't you know
I tried to keep us girl together
We got love, just let it flow
We're not together, girl forever
Then I don't wanna know

It's like round and round we go
Girl you telling me its different now and things have

Should I breathe easy now you said you won't need to stay
How many times are you gon spin that same old line
Girl you and I, need to put this damn thing right
We cant hide that fact that we're not seeing eye to eye
