NF JOURNEY: GREEN LIGHTS

Song: Green Lights

Artist: NF

I'm still not over Intro III...that was incredible! 🤯🔥

This video is intense! I'm a little confused what it all represents (since, as we know at this point everything NF does has a purpose and bigger meaning behind it) but the ending was super cool! Nice way to introduce his new album. I don't have as much to say about this song as I've had for others...it's not a favorite of mine but the hook is super cool and it's still a great song even if it's not totally pulling me in like some of his others. 

Sorry, I'm a little off today. You can read why here.

*UPDATE: 3/22/23: Ummm 🤔 excuuuuuse....WHAT WAS WRONG WITH ME?? THIS SONG TOTALLY SLAPS! I LOVE IT! I'VE LISTENED TO IT SO MANY TIMES IT'S UNHEALTHY! "All I see is green lights, green lights, all I spit is real life (real life). Bet you don't know what that's like (huh?)" 🔥🔥 And Nate's little 'screech' at minute mark 1:11 is dope! The freaking flow of this song is so sick! I clearly wasn't in the right head space after my walk.

Yeah

My name buzzin', ain't no way you could ignore it

I did not come this far so they could ignore me

I am not the one to say, "I'll do it in the mornin'"

I'd rather get it done, don't focus on what's not important  👊💪

They try to talk to me like they been nothin' but supportive

Appreciate the love, but do not show up on my doorstep

If you ain't about that real, I suggest that you avoid me  🔥

If we ain't on the same page, that's the end of story, ah!

Hey, you are not a baller 'cause your closet's full of Jordan's  👊🔥 LOVE! 

You are not a rich man 'cause you're on the Forbes list

First, I drop the record, then you know I gotta tour it

Real's still the slogan, only difference is there's more of us

The story of my life feels like it's just beginnin' now

I ask you a question, I want answers, not the run-around

You the one that brought it up, but I'm the one to shut it down

If you ain't got the album yet, I brought you one, I'm at your house

Hey!

All I see is green lights

All I see is green lights

All I spit is real life

Bet you don't know what that's like (huh?)

All I see is green lights, woo

All I see is green lights, yeah

All I spit is real life

I bet you don't know what that's like

Yeah

I know where I'm goin', I don't let no one distract me

I don't need directions from nobody in the back seat  🔥

I don't need these people in my corner tryna gas me

I'd rather have people in my corner tryna check me  😱 UGGGHH HE'S SO GOOD!

Yeah, I walk off the bus a different city than the last week

Let the fans speak, they gon' tell you 'bout the past me

If I'm bein' honest, last year I was in a bad place

Wouldn't say I'm out of it, but don't feel like I can't be, ah!  🔥💪😱 FREAKING BARZ! 

Who you know droppin' clean records, but they nasty?  🔥👊 YAS! 

I was made for this, I could tell when mama had me

I hopped right off the table, told my doctor, "I ain't average."

He asked me, "What does that mean?"

I told him, "Get the pen and pad, please."  👊🔥 WHOO! 

Who'd a known I'd write something that could change lives?  😭🙌🙇 YOU DO! 

I don't think y'all fully understand the way you changed mine

I look at the future that's in front of me with both eyes

Three records, three years, I don't like to waste time  👊👊

Oh yeah!

All I see is green lights, yeah

All I see is green lights, haha

All I spit is real life (real life)

Bet you don't know what that's like (you don't know!)

All I see is green lights (green lights), woo

All I see is green lights (green lights), yeah

All I spit is real life (oh, real life!)

I bet you don't know what that's like (no!)

Haha

All I see is—green lights!

Yeah

Oh my!
