The Search - NF
Hey Nate how's life
I don’t know it's alright
I've been dealin’ with some things
like every human being
And really didn't sleep
much last night
I'm sorry that's fine
I just think
I need a little me time
I just think
I need a little free time
Little break from the shows
and the bus rides yeah
Last year I had a breakdown
Thoughts tellin' me
I'm lost gettin' too loud
Had to see a therapist
then I found out
Somethin' funny’s goin’
on up in my house
Yeah I started thinkin'
maybe I should move out
You know pack my cart
take a new route
Clean up my yard get the noose out
Hang up my heart let it air out
I’ve been searchin'
What does that mean
Nate I've been learning
Grabbin' my keepsakes
leavin’ my burdens
Well I brought a few with me
I'm not perfect
Lookin' at the view
like this concerns me
Pickin' up the cues right
I'm quite nervous
Hate it when I lose sight
life gets blurry
And things might hurt me
It's prolly gonna be
a long journey but hey
It's worth it though
Cold world out there kids
grab your coats
It's been a minute I know
now I'm back to roam
Lookin' for the antidote
to crack the code
Pretty vivid I admit it
I'm in classic mode
Don't need pity given to me
but I can't condone
Talkin' down to me
I'ma have to crack
your nose for crackin' jokes
I'm lookin' for the map
to hope you seen it
Been makin' a whole lot of changes
Wrote a song about that
you should play it
I get scared when
I walk on these stages
I look at the crowd
and see so many faces yeah
That's when I start to get anxious
That's when my thoughts
can be dangerous
That's when I put on my makeup
and drown in self-hatred
Forget what I'm saying and
Where'd the beat go
Oh ain't that somethin'
Drums came in
you ain't see that comin'
Hands on my head
can't tell me nothin'
Got a taste of the fame
had to pump my stomach
Throw it back up
like I don't want it
Wipe my face clean off my vomit
OCD tryna push my buttons
I said don't touch it
now y'all done it
I can be critical never typical
Intricate with every syllable
I'm a criminal
Intimate but never political
pretty visual
Even if you hate it I'll make it
feel like you're in it though
You call me what you wanna
but never call me forgettable
Leave you deep in thought
I could never swim in the kiddie pool
Way that I been
thinkin' is cinematic
it's beautiful
Man I don't know
if I'm makin' movies or music videos
Videos videos
Yeah the sales can rise
Doesn't mean much though
when your health declines
See we've all got somethin'
that we trapped inside
That we try to suffocate you know
hopin' it dies
Try to hold it underwater
but it always survives
Then it comes up out of nowhere
like an evil surprise
Then it hovers over you
to tell you millions of lies
You don't relate to that
Must not be as crazy as I am
The point I'm makin'
is the mind is a powerful place
And what you feed it
can affect you in a powerful way
It's pretty cool right
Yeah but it's not always safe
Just hang with me
this'll only take a moment okay
Just think about it for a second
if you look at your face
Every day when you get up
and think you'll never be great
You'll never be great
not because you're not
but the hate
Will always find a way to cut you up
and murder your faith
Woo
I've been developin'
take a look at the benefits
Nothin' to meddle with
I can never be delicate
Am I even relevant
That depends how you measure it
Take a measurement
then bag it up and give me
the evidence
Pretty evident
dependable can never be tentative
I'm a gentleman
depending on
if I think you're genuine
Pretty elegant
but not afraid to
tell you to get a grip
Proper etiquette
I keep it to myself
when I celebrate ah
It's that time again
Better grab your balloons
and invite your friends
Seatbelts back on
yeah strap 'em in
Look at me everybody
I'm smilin' big
On a road right now
that I can't predict
Tell me Tone that down
but I can't resist
Y'all know that sound
better raise your fist
The search begins I'm back
so enjoy the trip huh
