My bro loved NF, he suffered a brain injury recently and lost all emotional attachment to his family, including me... This song gives me hope he'll come back to us, someday...
Hello NF my name is Daniel I’m just your average 16 yr old and go through a lot mentally I’m not gonna lie. Things get hard. And well I just wanted to tell you that I think you are really cool and a great lyricist. Honestly I listen to like everyone of your songs. I just wanted to let you know that your music that you have created really helps me and MILLIONS of other people out and for that I would just like to say thank you. I doubt you are going to see this but thank you so much and I hope things only get better.
Love you kid! You should check out who is barrabas by Judas it's a a quick sermon but help me thru my dark times.... your message really hit me and I hurt when I see the younger generation hurting, stay strong thru the storm your going thru. There is peace when it calms....

I'm going to be honest here, and I don't care ppl think, I balled my eye's out on this song and it is helping me too release all the bs that has been building up in-side me, for many of years, so in that THANK YOU NF FOR MAKING SONGS LIKE THIS. also your other song change, is right up there with this song.. keep doing u bro.. you got this in the bag!
that last verse is 🔥. I only found NF's music about a week ago and now he's almost all I listen to. "Tell me I'm worth it God"... that hits me hard. Man this guy's lyrics are powerful. I'm going through a little bit of bs right now and music like this is what I need. Thank you NF
oh yes indeed my opinion is he is the best rapper cuz a lot of people (like me) search for a rapper what doesn’t just sing about se* and all and who don’t has bad words so a fRiEnd told me about him and now I know more about him he ❤️Thanks NF
Elementary Music Teacher here at a lower income school with refugee families, single parent homes, kids with trauma, kids of every color of the Rainbow… a majority of my students relate to and love rap music. You know how hard it is to find rap songs without swear words?!! Until now… thank you NF for the music you do! I can’t wait for my students to use your music for our rap songs in our Pop/Rock Concert this year!!!
God is behind you no matter what. Life shouldn't be taken for granted. I've gone through a lot similar to Nate and listening to his music is a breath of fresh air honestly bro
Fr god knows you more than anybody in the world could ever know you, hes your best freind for life and eternity and he has your back because whatever tries to come at you has to go thru him and he is almighty and beyond powerful, his powers are unlimited. He knows you so well, he knows things you dont even know and he counted every hair on your head! Talk about a best friend!!!

Yes we are because we've all either gone thru shit or are going thru shit and dont want others to feel what we are ourselves I personally am going thru some challenges
" HOW YOU'RE TALKING TO YOURSELF IS RUDE"😪 . I remember going on holiday for 2 weeks in August at our farm.. away from people, just animals and trees surroundings literally.. I recall just Venting to this song for like the whole 2 weeks straight, day n night.
NF, who knows you might read this idk.. You a real one. ADHD keeps my mind occupied, when its all one thing, negative thoughts, I can learn to let them pass but they circle around and when I come to your songs they leave and I see your struggles, your pain. I'm blessed but I'm cursed to.
I JUST WANNA KNOW WHY I'm afraid of CHANGE MY STRESS has me feeling like a LOST OUTCAST DRIFTING in the outback walking CIRCLES in THE SEARCH for THIS THING CALLED LOVE I KNOW I'm not the ONLY ONE. If you were WITH ME REMEMBER THIS I will always be REAL UNTILL I DIE!
Been struggling with mental illness my whole life, then in 2019 I was in chronic pain from untreated arthritis. When quarantine hit I started to drift even farther than I did before. I stay in my room for weeks, barely get up from bed, and practically live at my desk. NF has helped me through all of it. Even though I am in pain, always depressed, never sleeping well, or even sleeping at all NF helps me get up in the morning. I finally admitted to myself that I needed help because of his song "Leave Me Alone". I still have a long way to go mentally and physically, (I'm only 16) but NF's music is always there when life gets too much to bare. The impact of these past 2 years have changed me for the better, but I wouldn't be here if it weren't for NF.
It’s scary how relatable these lyrics are. “Told you look into the mirror and say ‘I love you’, convince yourself that no one in the world would ever want to.” It’s hard to depend on people as much as we should, just know you always have your back 🦋🧡
"Passing by the people who have been there to support you from the get go- disrespectful." WOW this hits so hard for me. Too often I feel like I'm completely alone and there's no one there for me. But in reality, I do have people who care for and support me- sometimes our feelings are not the truth. NF IS REAL MUSIC.
There are some nf songs that keep me from suicide, out of those drifting is definitely the most powerful. I have cried so many times to this song and it hurts so much because it makes me realize how screwed I am yet gives me hope.
Dear NF I have seen you in concert twice and I just want to say as a fan of you and your music I just want to say thank you for showing me how much my life has changed and how much of a difference your music has been making my whole career change
The only rapper that makes me feel happy, sad, angry and hyped at the same time

Drifting
Watchin' the world go 'round
World go, yeah (world go, yeah)
Listening
To unfamiliar feelings and unknown sounds
Unknown sounds, unknown sounds
Slippin' through my fingertips (ayy), lingerin'
Shoulda, woulda, coulda, where'd I put the pen? (Woah)
Make a list of all my failed attempts, runnin' out of space again
Highlight all the things I wish I never said (stop)
If feeling makes you stronger, I'm the weakest
That would mean that I would have to separate from my beliefs
It's not a secret, I'm a puzzle, got a lot of missin' pieces
Underneath this strong persona I put on's a kid that's screamin'
Aren't these waters so deceivin'? (So deceivin')
They look different, don't they?
Well, at least that's how they seem to me
'Cause we just drift and drift and drift
Until we see something that we define as peaceful
Grab the needle, shoot reminders in my veins
That people leave you while I'm driftin'
Watchin' the world go 'round
World go, yeah (world go, yeah)
Listening
To unfamiliar feelings and unknown sounds
Unknown sounds, unknown sounds
Lots of gossip, I've been watchin' you
How you're talkin' to yourself is rude
Driftin', I'm in the same boat as you
Sinkin', dreamin', screamin' for some truth
And (my, my) escalator's broke, I'll take the stairs, I guess
Climb until I'm outta breath, questioning my every step (whoa)
My train of thought is leading me to different tracks
Positive that where I'm at is not where I should stay and that's (why)
Told you look into the mirror and say, "I love you"
Convince yourself that no one in the world would ever want to
Passin' by the people that have been there to support you
From the get-go, disrespectful, drive you mental
Might get stressful when I'm driftin'
I see you in the distance
Askin' me why I'm so distant, I'm convicted
I'm convinced that I predict that all my wishes on my wish list won't be heard
'Cause I'm committed to the lie that feeling safe is unrealistic
When I'm driftin'
Watchin' the world go 'round
World go, yeah (world go, yeah)
Listening
To unfamiliar feelings and unknown sounds
Unknown sounds, unknown sounds
Ignorant to my ignorance
Tell me I'm worth it, God
Give me the faith to rise and help me diversify
To take a step forward, immersed in my belligerence, amplified
The feelings and words collide
Intensified by living a life deprived
I'd rather be burned alive
Than go back to thinkin' I'm insignificant (insignificant)
Every impotent moment debated can trigger it
God is my witness definitive
Holdin' my head up, there isn't an innocent bone in my body
But that's what gives me the energy lacked
To renovate, have to innovate, past intimidates
Can't remain afraid

Watchin' the world go 'round

To unfamiliar feelings and unknown sounds
Unknown sounds, unknown sounds
[Verse 1]
Slippin' through my fingertips (Ayy), lingerin'
Shoulda, woulda, coulda, where'd I put the pen? (Woah)
Make a list of all my failed attempts
Runnin' out of space again
Highlight all the things I wish I never said (Stop)
If feeling makes you stronger, I'm the weakest
That would mean I would have to separate from my beliefs
It's not a secret, I'm a puzzle, got a lot of missin' pieces
Underneath this strong persona, I put on a kid that's screamin'
Aren't these waters so deceivin'? (So dеceivin')
They look differеnt, don't they?
Well, at least that's how they seem to me
'Cause we just drift and drift and drift
Until we see something that we define as peaceful
Grab the needle, shoot reminders in my veins
That people leave you when I'm driftin'
[Chorus]
Watchin' the world go 'round
World go, yeah (World go 'round)
Listening
To unfamiliar feelings and unknown sounds
Unknown sounds, unknown sounds
[Verse 2]
Lots of gossip, I've been watchin' you
How you're talkin' to yourself is rude
Driftin' I'm in the same boat as you
Sinkin', dreamin', screamin' for some truth
And (My, my) escalator's broke, I'll take the stairs, I guess
Climb until I'm outta breath
Questioning my every step (Woah)
My train of thought is leading me to different tracks
Positive that where I'm at is not where I should stay and that's (Why)
Told you look into the mirror and say, "I love you"
Convince yourself that no one in the world would ever want to
Passin' by the people that have been there to support you
From the get-go, disrespectful, drive you mental
Might get stressful when I'm driftin'
I see you in the distance
Askin' me why I'm so distant, I'm convicted
I'm convinced that I predict that all my wishes on my wish list won't be heard

Unknown sounds, unknown sounds
[Outro]
Ignorant to my ignorance
Tell me I'm worth it, God
Give me the faith to rise and help me diversify
To take a step forward, immersed in my belligerence, amplified
The feelings and words collide
Intensified by living a life deprived
I'd rather be burned alive then go back to thinking I'm insignificant (Insignificant)
Every impotent moment debated can trigger it
God is my witness definitive
Holding my head up there isn't a innocent bone in my body but that's what gives me the energy lacked to renovate
Have to innovate, past intimidates, can't remain afraid

NF is like medicine. He makes you feel better, and if you have a lot of him you'll get addicted.
Best addiction ever.
This song is just unreal. The emotions it spurs and the replay value is crazy. Find something new each listen it seems like. Absolute Masterpiece NF.
It’s like he’s telling a story of his life in ever song that he makes and they all connect...
That's bcz he is
Bro that’s exactly what he does.

@@tristianwalker566 I know but I’m speaking in a deeper term
It's like he's reading words straight out of my head sometimes.
Exactly
Nf different

right? it's actually kinda wild how well he connects with the listener.
Spot on
I'm grateful to live in the times NF lives in.
This guy's got the best community ever, i mean look at the likes and the dislikes
So true🥰
RUclips deleted the thumbs down. We dont see the dislikes, only the "RUclipsr" does..
@@Grus_92 I know😢
NF is just incredible, he has some of the most relatable music ever.

NF is like a poetic therapist that reminds you that you may be battling darkness, but at least your not doing it alone. We're all in this together
I agree
Yes
Just cuz darkness makes it difficult to see each other doesn't mean we cant hear
@@nondenominationalspiritual8285 thank you
life is hard, so is this.
Drifting is so criminally underrated… never before have I listened to a song where it felt like every verse was taken exactly out my head
Whenever I listen to NF, I start thinking about my own life..
Facts I feel like he talks about his life alot
Same bro
You start to think about bad stuff that happened but u realize how it made u stronger
@@morganrisley1275 mmm, interesting
Yesss yo same here. They make me think about the bad in my life in a different way and while giving me more confident I'm turning that bad into a good
This community is so breathtakingly supportive
Yes we are because we've all either gone thru shit or are going thru shit and dont want others to feel what we are ourselves I personally am going thru some challenges
Hey man, you know we got your back 😌, never feel alone god loves you
Exactly
Sure, often the community kinda reflects the attitude of an artist :)
Ik it realy is amazing
" HOW YOU'RE TALKING TO YOURSELF IS RUDE"😪 . I remember going on holiday for 2 weeks in August at our farm.. away from people, just animals and trees surroundings literally.. I recall just Venting to this song for like the whole 2 weeks straight, day n night.
NF, who knows you might read this idk.. You a real one. ADHD keeps my mind occupied, when its all one thing, negative thoughts, I can learn to let them pass but they circle around and when I come to your songs they leave and I see your struggles, your pain. I'm blessed but I'm cursed to.
Nf is so lyrical, like his words just play together so amazingly I can’t even explain it
I think we alll just want a man like NF 😭I won’t settle for any less
Yessss
@@elyssahenry6675 sis let’s go find him 🤣🤞🏼

"Postitive that where im at is not where i should stay" is such an amazing line that so much people can relate to
I JUST WANNA KNOW WHY I'm afraid of CHANGE MY STRESS has me feeling like a LOST OUTCAST DRIFTING in the outback walking CIRCLES in THE SEARCH for THIS THING CALLED LOVE I KNOW I'm not the ONLY ONE. If you were WITH ME REMEMBER THIS I will always be REAL UNTILL I DIE!
Wow...
A masterpiece of a comment……
If this doesn’t play in my funeral I’m not dying.

YEAHH, EXACTLY
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
yeah, still don't know about that lol
EXACTLYYY!!
Been struggling with mental illness my whole life, then in 2019 I was in chronic pain from untreated arthritis. When quarantine hit I started to drift even farther than I did before. I stay in my room for weeks, barely get up from bed, and practically live at my desk. NF has helped me through all of it. Even though I am in pain, always depressed, never sleeping well, or even sleeping at all NF helps me get up in the morning. I finally admitted to myself that I needed help because of his song "Leave Me Alone". I still have a long way to go mentally and physically, (I'm only 16) but NF's music is always there when life gets too much to bare. The impact of these past 2 years have changed me for the better, but I wouldn't be here if it weren't for NF.
Stay strong, you know things Will change
Hey, I hope you're hanging in there. You're doing great.
Drifting, watching the world go 'round 🔝🔛
“I predict that all my wishes on my wish list won’t be heard”?? YES whattt-
I saw this comment the moment he said it!
idk why but for some reason this comment makes me think of YES!! Wait, what were we talking about again?
Relatable
@@xxbabysharkxx7168 same here 🤣
I think the line says "won't be heard"
*Thinks song is over*
"That was pretty fire. Onto the nex-"

It’s scary how relatable these lyrics are. “Told you look into the mirror and say ‘I love you’, convince yourself that no one in the world would ever want to.” It’s hard to depend on people as much as we should, just know you always have your back 🦋🧡
This song makes me have emotions that I don't recognize
Life achievement completed: Live through a new album by NF
Congratulations 👏
My achievement is getting to order a signed album 😎
One of my favorite on this mixtape... actually... there all my favorite 🤣
You’re an NF fan? I knew I subbed to you a few years ago for a good reason 💯
Same here!! They're all my favorite! lol
Love u bro!

Man I love Nate and his music so much he has helped me with PTSD. Thank you Nate
The plot to the song is so good but the thing is is that at the beginning he raps so slow but AT THE END BRO HE SPITS FIRE
Shut up boi 😂
I have never heard an NF song I haven’t like. Every song is fire.
Your in for a great journey!!!!!!!🔥🤙

"Passing by the people who have been there to support you from the get go- disrespectful."
WOW this hits so hard for me. Too often I feel like I'm completely alone and there's no one there for me.
But in reality, I do have people who care for and support me- sometimes our feelings are not the truth.
NF IS REAL MUSIC.
There are some nf songs that keep me from suicide, out of those drifting is definitely the most powerful. I have cried so many times to this song and it hurts so much because it makes me realize how screwed I am yet gives me hope.
NF: *Drops new mixtape*
Everyone: *My disappointment is gone and my day has been made*

NF. you are the only person who knows how we actually feel. I guesse we really are just drifting
Dear NF I have seen you in concert twice and I just want to say as a fan of you and your music I just want to say thank you for showing me how much my life has changed and how much of a difference your music has been making my whole career change
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
Ik this was coming. NF is the realest. Man can sing AND rap. I love this man the talent is unREAL
I don’t know if I should finish listening to this song or go to the other ones
Always gotta finish till the end
Fr like I want to listen to them all in two minutes but I have to finish them
It’s midnight for me, but do I care? No, I must listen
LISTEN TO STORY NEXT ITS FIRE
