Hey skyajb11 here. My dad came across NF back at one of his earliest albums ever: Mansion. And I have been listening to NF ever since. This is my favorite one of his songs tho. If you have never heard NF, you should start with this.
Song is by NF In case you didn't catch the lyrics here it is: Yeah, they say when we grow up You'll understand when you're older Guess I'm still a kid, I don't know it If I'll ever let go of this Say goodbye to the old me We ain't friends anymore, you don't know me I know I could die any moment If I do, just remember this Yeah, handouts create lazy people I'm not impressed with You want something in life, then why don't you go and get it? Actions speak louder than words do, it's pretty quiet, isn't it? Look at the world we live in, defined by comment sections Surround yourself with people that challenge how you think Not people that nod their head and act like they agree Those people that cut you open just to watch you bleed Always be yourself, not the person that you pretend to be, no! These people gon' tell you that you will never make it Then when you do, they gon' say they knew you were goin' places That's just how it works, next thing you know you'll be overrated Hearing people say they miss the "old you, " it's crazy, ain't it? And perfect people don't exist, so don't pretend to be one I don't need pats on the back from people for my achievements When I die, I wanna know that I lived for a reason Anyone can take your life, but not what you believe in, no Yeah, they say when we grow up You'll understand when you're older Guess I'm still a kid, I don't know it If I'll ever let go of this Say goodbye to the old me We ain't friends anymore, you don't know me I know I could die any moment If I do, just remember this Yeah, don't take opinions from people that won't listen to yours If money's where you find happiness, you'll always be poor If you don't like the job you have, then what do you do it for? The cure to pain isn't something you buy at liquor stores, nah The real you is not defined by the size of your office The real you is who you are when ain't nobody watchin' You spend your whole life worried about what's in your wallet For what? That money won't show up in your coffin, woo! Yeah, anger's a liar, he ain't got no respect I fell in love with my pain, and I slept with my regrets Happiness saw it happen, maybe that's why she up and left Joy called me a cheater, said she ain't coming back I've always had a problem with relationships But that's what happens when you see the world through a broken lens Mistakes can make you grow, that doesn't mean you're friends Who you are is up to you, don't leave it up to them, no Yeah, they say when we grow up You'll understand when you're older Guess I'm still a kid, I don't know it If I'll ever let go of this Say goodbye to the old me We ain't friends anymore, you don't know me I know I could die any moment If I do, just remember this Yeah, they say you got into music You signed up to be hated That's kinda weird 'cause I don't remember signing my name up Coming from people that give advice but never take none I like my privacy, but, lately, I feel it's invaded I heard that life's too short, don't let it pass you by We waste a lot of time crying over wasted time It's not about what people think, it's how you feel inside My biggest failures in life are knowing I never tried, woo! I look at the world from a different angle People change, even Satan used to be an angel Think twice before you're bitin' on the hand that made you Don't believe what you believe just 'cause that's how they raised you Think your own thoughts, don't let them do it for you Say you want a drink, don't wait for people to pour it on you Cut out the lies, stay close to people you know are loyal Grab your own glass and fill it, don't let your fear destroy you, woo!
