NF JOURNEY: IF YOU WANT LOVE & REMEMBER THIS

Song(s): If You Want Love & Remember This

Artist: NF

Two song day!! Mainly because there's not much to be said on the first one and because I'm running out of days in March and still have a ways to go on this JOURNEY!! 

If You Want Love

One of my OG NF songs! Clearly. 😊

I don't have much to say about this one since I already shared it last month. You can read some of my thoughts and feelings about it here. It's a little bit of a downer post but ya know how it is, real music, real life. 

Something that is noticeably different about this song is the fact that he is actually singing the entire time. There's really no rapping at all. And this man can SANG! He has an amazing voice. Just another example of how underrated he is as a true artist. The lyrics ring so true for me and the music video is bittersweet. Just an overall great song man! 

I just need some time, I'm tryna think straight

I just need a moment in my own space

Ask me how I'm doin', I'll say, "okay"

Yeah, but ain't that what we all say?  FACTS

Sometimes I think back to the old days

In the pointless conversations with the old me

Yeah, back when my momma used to hold me

I wish somebody woulda told me

If you want love, you gon' have to go through the pain

If you want love, you gon' have to learn how to change

If you want trust, you gon' have to give some away

If you want love, if you want love

Yeah, as a kid I used to think life

Is moving so slow, I watch it go by

Look out the window on my bus ride

I thought the world was so small, through my closed eyes

I've always tried to control things

In the end that's what controls me

Maybe that's why I'm controllin'  ❗❗✋

I wish somebody woulda told me 

If you want love, you gon' have to go through the pain

If you want love, you gon' have to learn how to change

If you want trust, you gon' have to give some away

If you want love, if you want love

The older I get, I feel like I'm always tryna save time  

Talkin' to the voices in my head, they make me think twice

Tellin' me it doesn't mean it's wrong because it feels right

I'm scared that one day I wake up and wonder where the time go

Talk about the past like it's the present while I rock slow

I'll sit in the living room and laugh with kids of my own

And tell 'em

If you want love, you gon' have to go through the pain

I wish you woulda told me

If you want love, you gon' have to learn how to change

I wish somebody woulda told me

If you want trust, you gon' have to give some away

You gon' have to give

If you want love, if you want love

If you want love, if you want love

Remember This

THE AMOUNT OF SCREAMING I JUST DID DURING THIS SONG IS UNREAL! HE DOES NOT MISS!! 😱😭🤯🔥🔥💀👊✊🙌💣💥

I wish I'd known about this song my entire life!! What I just experienced was unlike anything I have felt before when it comes to a song! This man is a lyrical GENIUS! His lyrics are SO DANG GOOD they could change the freaking world! HE IS PREACHING A FULL-ON SERMON HERE AND I AM LIVING FOR IT!! 🙌😭 So much so that I DIED! THAT'S how good this song is!! I know that doesn't make sense, my head is SPINNING! 😵💫

NF IS THE G.O.A.T. AND THAT'S THE TRUTH. I SAID WHAT I SAID AND I STAND BY IT! 🔥🔥🐐👑

MOVE OVER DRAKE, EMINEM, KENDRICK LAMAR (these are the only rappers I can think of lolllz...I've never been into rap music... until now!) AND EVERYONE ELSE IN THE GAME, THE KING HAS ARRIVED AND HE AIN'T GOIN' NOWHERE!!! 👑👊

Seriously, this song hit every emotion I possess, amplified it by one thousand and SENT ME. I am not on planet earth right now! My heart is POUNDING out of my chest and I am SWEATING!! 💓😅 It was THAT GOOD!! This one's A REAL real one! He don't lie! BARZ ON BARZ ("I never drink but I live in these bars" 🔥). Be prepared for a whole lotta freaking out in the lyrics below! #Sorrynotsorry One of my new favorites ever!?! YES.

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 (yeah)

Say goodbye to the old me

We ain't friends anymore, you don't know me (real music)

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'll 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  🔥🔥👊 BARRRZZZ!! FACTS ON FACTS ON FACTS ON FACTS!!!

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   OOOOOOO!! 🔥🤯😱😭✊ I'M HOLLERING!! I CAN'T! THAT WAS TOO FREAKING GOOD!! 🔥🔥🔥 

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  HE GOT ME AGAIN!! 🤯 I'M SCREAMING!! 😱I CAN'T WITH THIS MAN!! THE G.O.A.T. THE REALEST OF THE REAL! 🔥🔥🔥 MY HEART IS POUNDING OUT OF MY CHEST! I AM SHOOK TO THE CORE OF MY VERY SOUL!

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!  HE DOES NOT MISS!!! HE ONLY SPEAKS THE TRUTH!!

I look at the world from a different angle

People change, even Satan used to be an angel  🔥🔥🔥😱😭✊ I AM DECEASED!! 💀

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!  🔥🔥🔥👊✊🙌💓😭
