Great song and a great reaction! My thoughts on the Pennywise bar is- Nate is always at war with fear, you see it throughout his Intro songs as well as others. And since Pennywise feeds on fear I take it like he's wrestling with stabbing Pennywise/his fears. In Outro he raps about how fear has been the root of his music and if he gets rid of that how would that effect his music and career. I could be off, this is my personal take on it.
See I saw the line the same way but it’s also important to include what he says before the bar which is he says “I wish I could think like big Sean” because he’s giving Big Sean credit for his ability to ignore haters and his ability to always seem so confident and fearless with everything he does.
This one is a straight vibe! Big Sean has an album called, "I decided." NF is being subtle and paying homage to him by saying he wish he could decide like Big Sean did on "I decided." Also, Pennywise is the "It" clown. NF wishes he could end his monsters in his mind and kill them.
Yeah he pays big homage to Big Sean. He uses big seans flow from bounce back and mentions big seans album i decided and big seans name in this Also many eggs written on the wall
🔥🔥 reaction, bro! Props for catching the Big Sean flow, a lot of people I’ve seen react to this didn’t catch it. If you’re looking for Nate to keep up this level of banger songs, then you’re headed in the right direction. There’s a reason that The Search album was number 1 when it released. Nothing but flames covering the whole album. Looking forward to more of this!
He killed that lyric about putting a knife inside of penny wise, the clown that was the representation of fear and hopelessness; its like we all question who we are and who we want to be but, one of the biggest reasons for questioning yourself is self doubt and fear; that part hit hard because we need to face and penny wise or fear to remove its hold or power on us. there is so much lyrical genius in this song.
New sub! Bruhhhh! I’ve never looked up the lyrics to this song but I always thought he said “but I forgot the shelves” 😂 but you just shed light on what he actually said and now it actually makes sense!!! Great reaction. Love NF!!!
Also, assuming "Leave Me Alone" is next and also assuming you haven't already recorded it, go back and listen to "No Name" again! Trust me you want to be refreshed on that song before listening to "Leave me alone"
I loved your reaction so much! This is definitely one of my favorite songs off this album! This song was so cool in concert! The Pennywise lines are referring to "killing his fears". He pays homage to Big Sean. NF always pays homage to others he respects and likes their music. NF is just a whole fucking different breed! I love him so much!
When he says “isn’t Nate’s flow” he’s using big Sean’s flow from his song bounce back, if you wanna get even crazier when he says “ I wish I could think like big Sean does but I just can’t decide“ he’s referring to the album bounce back is on which so happens to be named “I decided”
I was attacked when I first heard this song years ago cause *let you down* was the only song i had heard, i had started the NF journey from that very day😊 I thank God for that day and NF and you for reminding me where I started🥺🥺
"wish I could think like Big Sean does but I just cant decide, if I should stick my knife inside of Pennywise" I think he's saying he admires Big Sean's pen and wishes he could write like him but he's not sure if he could "Cut IT"
I've always thought the Pennywise line meant this: "I wish that I could think like Big Sean does but I just can't decide if I should (stick my knife inside of Pennywise = take a stab at IT)." Take a stab at (try) IT (thinking like Big Sean).
DonVon On top of the fact NF was a big fan of the Pennywise franchise... ''Pennywise was also a band formed in 1988 in Hermosa Beach, California by four members with Jim Lindberg (vocals) They released two EPs: A Word from the Wise (1989) and Wildcard (1989). Each of the band members had played in other bands in the Hermosa Beach, California area and attended the same high school. In 2011 Pennywise, Big Sean and The Game toured together and I assume Nate was at one and was impressed with Big Sean but perhaps offended Pennywise got top billing?''' that's what I got Peace... ;)
GEORGE!!! 😳 Now this is next freaking level fam!!!! That Pennywise line has ALWAYS seemed odd to me and you just solved it!!!!!! Well, for me anyway!!! That makes so much sense!!!! Bravo fam 👏👏👏👏👏 Bravo!!!! You’re Special, George!!!!! 🖤🖤🖤
Amazing breakdown man! Love you stuff! My thoughts on the Big Shaun Pennywise line is a little hidden story within the story. Earlier in the song he says, "This isn't Nate's flow," Which leads me to believe that he is talking through his own personal demons, and just like the balloons with burdens, is represented by the smile makeup. So when he mentions thinking like Big Shaun, I feel like he is in his own person struggle with his demon, which Pennywise is a metaphor for, and weather or not he should let his demon and fear control him or not. Then when he talks about his emotions make him feel like someone else, that is a nod to his demon, Pennywise, that is is fighting. Then even at the end, he says that not a lot of people know him well, because of the demon that lives within him. I think he set this whole song up to be a tell a story to those who have been on his journey with him, which is hidden by a story that the casuals hear.
hey man! just wanted to say that this flow is actually from big sean’s song, bounce back lol. not sure if you knew that but just thought i’d put that out there
Your on the journey 🙌love it! Great reaction, keep going! New music 🎶 will be coming! Love ❤️ NF! Pennywise feeds on your fear, that is why he said that, kill your fear!
Pennywise specifically feeds off of children's fears. His target has been children. He makes their nightmares come to life. Sticking his knife into Pennywise is killing his childhood fears, his trauma. He can't decide if he wants to do that though because his childhood fears and trauma is what fuels his music!
The line about Pennywise means, Penny wise the clown fed off the fears of hus victims. So sticking his knife in Pennywise would be like killing fear. He's not certain he wants to kill his fear cause it's gotten him this far in his carrer.
“This isn’t Nate’s flow” Just let me rhyme I’m in disguise. He was paying homage to Big Sean because he was using Sean’s flow for that bar and we was making fun of fans that would call him out for it. Great bar
Ok so call me crazy… Pennywise - represents fear. “Fear came to my house long ago.. is that me or the fear talking, I don’t know anymore” In the video he’s in a room with writing on the wall.. lyrics. In the lyrics he’s basically recording a train of thought. The song in the room where him and fear live. The lyrics build with anxiety then the smilie faced (pennywise nf aka fear) starts taking over and the flow changes. “This isn’t Nate’s flow.. not back to this flow.. The lyrics go frm defense to offense and become confident/aggressive/proud(?) This song imo is a picture of his relationship with fear qnd how they are different versions of himself.
(LA Leakers Ray Vaughn) is a reaction you definitely should do. Bars after Bars after Bars is all I can say The entire video is Bar heavy and straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Ray Vaughn has more bars than a N.Y.C jail . Peace ✌️....
I love your reactions I’ve watched all of your mf reactions and if you like the story telling and rap part you would love one of his older songs called that’s alright. Another artist group I recommend that I feel doesn’t ever get covered is devilish trio. Keep up with the good work man love the content❤️
Great Reactions! Question - your NF playlist has the entire "Clouds" album then you started from the beginning and was going in order... then stopped? what happened? You must listen and react to the entire "The Search" Album! You jumped to "Why"... why? lol Am i missing something? Cheers!
Nah just need to update the playlist today. But yes, we started in clouds then made the commitment to the full journey. All the videos are recorded in order tho
are you gonna go back and react to the songs that you skipped on his past albums or just the ones you pick and choose ? I would love to see your reaction to the ones you missed !!
🔥 breakdown as always. You definitely have a large 🧠. Pause game is on point. Lol. Loving this journey we get to go on with you. Excited for The Search album journey we are going on next. ❤

Great break down thanks G!
No problem man! Keep the NF reactions coming!
I agree and also discovered another possible connection... ;)
Great breakdown. I feel that is what he means as well.

This right here^
Big Sean had an album called "I Decided" and NF says "This isn't Nate's flow" he's paying homage to Big Sean because it's Sean's flow
Yeah he pays big homage to Big Sean.
He uses big seans flow from bounce back and mentions big seans album i decided and big seans name in this
Also many eggs written on the wall
Ahh bet bet! Thx Nikki
🔥🔥 reaction, bro! Props for catching the Big Sean flow, a lot of people I’ve seen react to this didn’t catch it.

Much love bro
Perception was a number one album as well on billboard 200
Fantastic reaction!! NF giving flowers. This one is definitely a top song. ❤️🔥❤️
It really is!
big sean has an album (i think) called "i decided" that's why nf says "wish that i could think like big sean does but i just can´t decide"
“Stick my knife inside of Pennywise” = want to kill my Fear!!!!
YEAH! Michigan representing!
NF is Legendary.
Facts.
I've been waiting patiently. 💜💜💜
Waits over 🙏🏽
please I think its time for my turn
He killed that lyric about putting a knife inside of penny wise, the clown that was the representation of fear and hopelessness; its like we all question who we are and who we want to be but, one of the biggest reasons for questioning yourself is self doubt and fear; that part hit hard because we need to face and penny wise or fear to remove its hold or power on us. there is so much lyrical genius in this song.
yup i was trying to think of how to say that you nailed it on the pennywise thing
🔥 NF is just different man I swear
New sub! Bruhhhh! I’ve never looked up the lyrics to this song but I always thought he said “but I forgot the shelves” 😂 but you just shed light on what he actually said and now it actually makes sense!!! Great reaction. Love NF!!!
Thanks for the sub!
Amazing reaction thank you needed this today much love
Also, assuming "Leave Me Alone" is next and also assuming you haven't already recorded it, go back and listen to "No Name" again! Trust me you want to be refreshed on that song before listening to "Leave me alone"
WHY was the first song I discovered by NF and it still is in my top 5. And then there's days like today where it's back to number 1
NF says “wish I could think like Big Sean but I cant decide” cause Sean dropped an album that year called I Decided
"This isn't Nate's flow"
That's a Big Sean flow.
Which song
Big Sean - I Decided
I loved your reaction so much! This is definitely one of my favorite songs off this album! This song was so cool in concert! The Pennywise lines are referring to "killing his fears". He pays homage to Big Sean. NF always pays homage to others he respects and likes their music. NF is just a whole fucking different breed! I love him so much!

That is why he said "This isn't Nate's flow", because it was Big Sean's flow:)
We on the NF Train!!!!!
Nice sweatshirt! Go green!!! 💚🤍
Love that he incorporated this swing into the search video too
I was attacked when I first heard this song years ago cause *let you down* was the only song i had heard, i had started the NF journey from that very day😊 I thank God for that day and NF and you for reminding me where I started🥺🥺
"wish I could think like Big Sean does but I just cant decide, if I should stick my knife inside of Pennywise" I think he's saying he admires Big Sean's pen and wishes he could write like him but he's not sure if he could "Cut IT"
Pentwise is a killer clown in it. But it's another way of NF saying to kill his fear
I've always thought the Pennywise line meant this: "I wish that I could think like Big Sean does but I just can't decide if I should (stick my knife inside of Pennywise = take a stab at IT)." Take a stab at (try) IT (thinking like Big Sean).
workx4me.. ;)
Good theory but I think he meant to kill his fear because pennywise is each persons biggest fear
Yo Devon I can’t believe I just seen you on here
What’s up bro! 🫡 and yessir them Michigan boys built different!
I’ll play this with Nate 7/18/23 at Nō Studios in Milwaukee, Wisconsin! Wrote the clouds album with him!
Yes! Great reaction to this song! Most people miss the Big Sean flow 🙌 #RealMusic

This song in concert was ❤️🔥
Leave Me Alone is next I hope.
Didn’t know you were from MI. Mad love from all us Michiganders!
〽️🫡
One of my fav NF songs

Can’t wait for “ pay my dues “ 🔥🔥🔥
Pennywise is the clown from IT. Uses what you fear against you. Great line

Michigan legendary
This is actually the first song NF did the black balloons and smile. I remember first seeing it like 'what the f*** does it mean?!?!?' Lol
Pennywise the dancing clown from steven king's it
If you notice the word hope is scribbled in the back probably an Easter egg for gape at that time
Hope***
“This isn’t Nate’s flow”
Just let me rhyme I’m in disguise.
He was paying homage to Big Sean because he was using Sean’s flow for that bar and we was making fun of fans that would call him out for it. Great bar
Casual fans point out the big shawn line NF fans know the pennywise comment is the bar lol
Pennywise represents fear , he wants to stick a knife in his fear, he hates his fear
Let You Down has probably made Diamond status now, I know back in like 2019 or 2020 that mug had done went like 10 Plat.
This one will always be a favorite. #NF
Ok so call me crazy…
Pennywise - represents fear.
“Fear came to my house long ago.. is that me or the fear talking, I don’t know anymore”
In the video he’s in a room with writing on the wall.. lyrics.
In the lyrics he’s basically recording a train of thought. The song in the room where him and fear live.
The lyrics build with anxiety then the smilie faced (pennywise nf aka fear) starts taking over and the flow changes.
“This isn’t Nate’s flow.. not back to this flow.. The lyrics go frm defense to offense and become confident/aggressive/proud(?)
This song imo is a picture of his relationship with fear qnd how they are different versions of himself.
Pennywise it the alien/clown thing in stephen kings IT. He preys on people's fears.
you should do the search next!!!
(LA Leakers Ray Vaughn) is a reaction you definitely should do. Bars after Bars after Bars is all I can say The entire video is Bar heavy and straight 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥. Ray Vaughn has more bars than a N.Y.C jail . Peace ✌️....
Big Sean has an album or song called decide
Story and Nate are really good songs by him
Not sure if you caught this but this video is in his mansion. Words on ceiling, walls and floor
pennywise is the symbol of fear.
Pennywise represents fear manifested in the movie it, slay your fear!
Michigan in the fuckin house!
I dont know if you got the next song but you should do "the search" next
On our way
Michigan just different.. idk how y’all got like some of the best rappers Ever 😅
I love your reactions I’ve watched all of your mf reactions and if you like the story telling and rap part you would love one of his older songs called that’s alright. Another artist group I recommend that I feel doesn’t ever get covered is devilish trio. Keep up with the good work man love the content❤️
