NF-The-Search

[00:37.07] "Hey, Nate, how's life?"

[00:38.82] I don't know, it's alright

[00:41.09] I've been dealin' with some things like every human being

[00:43.31] And really didn't sleep much last night (last night)

[00:45.07] "I'm sorry", that's fine

[00:47.08] I just think I need a little me time

[00:49.06] I just think I need a little free time

[00:51.06] Little break from the shows and the bus rides (bus rides), yeah

[00:53.10] Last year I had a breakdown

[00:55.05] Thoughts tellin' me I'm lost gettin' too loud

[00:57.07] Had to see a therapist, then I found out

[00:59.06] Somethin' funny's goin' on up in my house

[01:01.06] Yeah, started thinkin' maybe I should move out

[01:03.07] You know, pack my car, take a new route

[01:04.81] Clean up my yard, get the noose out

[01:06.81] Hang up my heart, let it air out (air out)

[01:08.82] I've been searchin'

[01:10.34] "What does that mean, Nate?"

[01:11.07] I've been learning

[01:12.07] Grabbin' my keepsakes, leavin' my burdens

[01:13.83] Well, I brought a few with me, I'm not perfect

[01:15.81] Lookin' at the view like, this concerns me

[01:17.81] Pickin' up the cues, right? I'm quite nervous

[01:19.83] Hate it when I lose sight, life gets blurry

[01:21.57] And things might hurt me

[01:23.57] It's prolly gonna be a long journey, but hey (but hey)

[01:25.06] It's worth it, though

[01:26.31] Cold world out there, kids, grab your coats

[01:28.31] Been a minute, I know, now I'm back to roam

[01:30.06] Lookin' for the antidote to crack the code

[01:32.33] Pretty vivid, I admit it, I'm in classic mode

[01:34.30] Don't need pity given to me, but I can't condone

[01:36.07] Talkin' down to me, I'ma have to crack your nose for crackin' jokes

[01:38.82] I'm lookin' for the map to hope, you seen it? (You seen it?)

[01:41.07] Been makin' a whole lot of changes

[01:43.32] Wrote a song about that, you should play it

[01:44.58] I get scared when I walk on these stages

[01:46.31] I look at the crowd and see so many faces, yeah

[01:48.31] That's when I start to get anxious

[01:50.57] That's when my thoughts can be dangerous

[01:52.84] That's when I put on my makeup and drown in self-hatred

[01:55.83] Forget what I'm saying, and

[01:58.07] Where'd the beat go?

[01:59.56] Oh, ain't that somethin'?

[02:00.56] Drums came in, you ain't see that comin'

[02:02.57] Hands on my head, can't tell me nothin'

[02:05.07] Got a taste of the fame, had to pump my stomach

[02:06.31] Throw it back up like I don't want it

[02:08.31] Wipe my face, clean off my vomit

[02:10.31] OCD, tryna push my buttons

[02:12.32] I said don't touch it, now y'all done it

[02:14.34] I can be critical, never typical

[02:15.80] Intricate with every syllable, I'm a criminal

[02:17.84] Intimate, but never political, pretty visual

[02:19.81] Even if you hate it, I'll make it feel like you're in it, though

[02:23.05] You call me what you wanna, but never call me forgettable

[02:25.56] Leave you deep in thought, I could never swim in the kiddie pool

[02:26.04] Way that I been thinkin' is cinematic, it's beautiful

[02:28.06] Man, I don't know if I'm makin' movies or music videos (videos, videos, videos)

[02:31.57] Yeah, the sales can rise

[02:32.57] Doesn't mean much though when your health declines

[02:34.29] See, we've all got somethin' that we trapped inside

[02:36.09] That we try to suffocate, you know, hopin' it dies

[02:38.34] Try to hold it underwater but it always survives

[02:40.83] Then it comes up out of nowhere like an evil surprise

[02:42.54] Then it hovers over you to tell you millions of lies

[02:44.07] You don't relate to that? Must not be as crazy as I am

[02:45.82] The point I'm makin' is the mind is a powerful place

[02:47.82] And what you feed it can affect you in a powerful way

[02:49.82] It's pretty cool, right? Yeah, but it's not always safe

[02:51.83] Just hang with me, this'll only take a moment, okay?

[02:54.06] Just think about it for a second, if you look at your face

[02:56.08] Every day when you get up and think you'll never be great

[02:58.32] You'll never be great, not because you're not, but the hate

[03:01.06] Will always find a way to cut you up and murder your faith (woo!)

[03:02.31] I am developin', take a look at the benefits

[03:03.83] Nothin' to meddle with, I can never be delicate

[03:05.82] Am I even relevant? That depends how you measure it

[03:08.31] Take a measurement, then bag it up and give me the evidence

[03:10.57] It's pretty evident; dependable can never be tentative

[03:12.34] I'm a gentleman, depending on if I think you're genuine

[03:14.31] Pretty elegant, but not afraid to tell you to get a grip

[03:16.31] Proper etiquette, I keep it to myself when I celebrate, ah (ah)

[03:19.06] It's that time again

[03:20.58] Better grab your balloons and invite your friends

[03:22.59] Seat belts back on, yeah, strap 'em in

[03:24.30] Look at me, everybody, I'm smilin' big

[03:26.30] On a road right now that I can't predict

[03:28.81] Tell me "Tone that down, " but I can't resist

[03:31.32] Y'all know that sound, better raise your fist

[03:33.31] The search begins, I'm back, so enjoy the trip, huh
