An EP means a smaller collection of songs. It's really good. I highly suggest listening to all of the songs. But hey this one is Awesome. The guy is raw, real, and his music is dynamite.
Wow, his singing and rapping voice are both magnificent. Plus the fact that the lyrics are amazing too. Not just some mumbo jumbo that some current day artists write about.
lyrics intro: You spend your life in a dream that you can't escape 'Cause you live your life in a coma, you're never awake If you'd open your eyes then maybe you'd see what's at stake You're sleeping, you're sleeping verse 1:You make a lot of money and you live in a mansion And pretty much got everything that you could ever imagine But you feel like even though you got everything in the world You got nothing, so what you do then is you start going backwards You runnin' in a direction And you lookin' for something that isn't real And all you know is that you just gotta have it What you're doin' is sleepin' And thinking that you're awake and you're not And the problem is that you don't know what you're after So you put everything that you have into what you do Hoping that one day maybe you don't have to feel like you're empty But as you get older a lot of weight on your shoulders is getting heavy Then you look back and you start to regret things You only get one life And every time you lookin' at yours You feel like everything you have is a waste! And the problem and the reason you could never fill a hole in your life Is because you were never awake hook: You spend your life in a dream that you can't escape 'Cause you live your life in a coma, you're never awake Wake up (x8) verse 2: You wake up in the morning But you feel like you never got up and go to work And you feelin' like you ain't got a purpose And you tryna get motivated but everything you do turns into a mess Like you ain't nothing but worthless And, yo, you look around A lot of these other people you lookin' at To you, you describe as perfect So you point a finger at God and tell him to do his job And fix ya' life up cause nothin' is workin' And you will try to hide and make it seem like it's nothin' But really you feel like everything is crashin' around you And you develop a problem in trustin' in other people Which later became an issue that will mentally pound you You only get one life But every time you lookin' at yours you feel like all you ever see are mistakes And the problem and the reason you could never move forward in life Is because you were never awake Wake up hook: You spend your life in a dream that you can't escape 'Cause you live your life in a coma, you're never awake Wake up (x8) bridge: You spend your life in a dream that you can't escape 'Cause you live your life in a coma, you're never awake Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up
Is no one gonna talk about how *INSPIRING* these lyrics are? Like seriously, there is times when I’m down and these lyrics actually make me feel better. It’s like an actual wake up call you know?
NF, it's refreshing to see a new artist repping GOD and bringing real music to the forefront for the masses. Please stay true to God and never forget where you came from ...here's to you man!!!! (hoping that you never sell out) I love this song, the beat is just right and the message ..... well it speaks for itself, thanks for sharing! Glory to God.
This song gets me crying and emotional. For some reason when he yells “wake up” it really gets me. This song gives me goosebumps and my god it’s amazing-
It's amazing the lyrics that can come through man when he opens the door to God and lets HIM write the lyrics. God is a gentleman, who knocks and waits for you to open the door. This song is a testament to the opened door.
I think this guy is gonna do big things, he sounds like eminem and he sings vocals really well then the rhymes are top notch. This dude is talented. And he doesn't curse a lot or talk about murdering or anything so its pretty cool.
Worse part is as bad as you want to wake up, the more you do, the more Pain you feel more truths revealed 😔 seems like there's never anyone here that really cares or genuinely wants to help. Those helping hands cut you the deepest...
props to everyone who was here 6 years ago.. you witnessed the birth of a star :)) came here to listen to every song he wrote and sung from the start.. sure itll be a good ride
I dont know you so how can i love you ?? Its just that i listen to your voice all the time your lyric expresses absolute meaning to everyone you just relate to us everytime you rap
This song got me through middle school and depression, 6 years later and this is still my favorite song by him. Its so crazy to hear the progression and change in his music.
Life is a dream for some people because of this system.. Where I am we are taught to be cookie cut shapes.. Perfect but almost all of us at least where I am.. Are burnt.. And your music.. I don't know a single person who doesn't listen to it for inspiration.. Just my long way of saying this music is a major reason why I and some of my closet friends are still here... Though I can't speak for them.. I'm just repeating what they have told me.. So thankyou
Your talent is RIDICULOUS!! Keep pressing!! This music speaks to me on so many levels... coming from a Christian who has struggled so much and strayed so far... and whose favorite rapper is Eminem... I'll be listening to all of your music from here on out. You got a die-hard fan here already.
A couple of years ago, I was struggling through abuse, neglect, depression, and basically was at a point in my life I wanted to end it all, just leave. I watched a world my broken family built fall apart and I couldn't do a single thing. On top of all of that, my friend and savior died of cancer. I kept falling into this hole I never get out of, any light that was shined on me was gone. Then one day, 2 am in the morning, a ton of NF songs started to play, I scrambled to write down every song that played, and played it on repeat. NF saved me from so much, his music just filled that dark hole inside of me. Knowing that both of our lives, were almost identical. I kept thinking: If he could make it out of hell, so could I. To this day, I still struggle with the abuse that rolls around my family, but I'm stronger. I fight threw it knowing that I'm not alone, knowing that one day I'll make it out of this hell like he did. This is one of my favorite songs by NF, and that definitely won't change soon.
Continue your nf journey and listen to hope he dropped a month ago. Maybe that will give u some more motivation and keep pushing ❤❤I believe u can do it
Wow. My cousin loves NF and I don’t really understand why. It’s not my type of music, you know? But this one song. This one song. It speaks to me... thanks Ethan. Thank you
Your my boy Blue ….. the messages are hidden in plain sight …this slap on so many levels let’s cross paths in the Astro plains n help the world accent find happiness in your NOW ……Bet 702
I discovered your music when I was 12, 6th grade, 4 years ago. I've been a fan ever since. You've helped me just by making music. Everytime I've been at my lowest in the last 4 years I've came to your music. I know you wont ever see this but thank you man. You are truly amazing. Keep up the amazing work.
And how do we wake up? The part of "And you develop a problem in trustin' in other people Which later became an issue that will mentally pound you" hits me hard, 'cause that is my problem.
Everyone's way of waking up is different. I grew up with a miserable childhood, my mentality was "if I make others happy maybe I can myself happy as well" that statement tore me apart, I grew up in abusive relationships of all sorts. I got tired of it, I became very selfish and threw everyone under the bus and shut myself from the outside world. I've become this monster I thought I would never become, furious for always being stepped on... I then began to work on myself. My happiness. I did things that made ME happy, not what made others happy. Finally, after a year or so I changed myself for the better. A new fresh start where I can finally say i'm proud to be myself and I know my limits.
This popped up on my iTunes Radio a little while ago. Damn, man, powerful. Thinking of my youngest sister. This is HER EXACTLY! (minus any money) She's given up, and if she doesn't wake up, she's gona end up dead. It seems so harsh for me to just come out and say it, yet we've tried for years. It's all up to her now. Hell, she stopped talking to me almost a year ago.
You guys need to wake up and as God is knocking on the door you let him in your heart he risked his life for all of us to be... Alive and in your past what did you do for him? Wake up and try to apallagise to him wake up! Wake up! Wake up!!
NF is pretty awesome, new sound and this song tells about how most of use, before we receive the holy Spirit are spiritually dead and asleep inside. Who cares if he sounds like Eminem the way his message is delivered is on a level all its own. God uses us for his glory, and if NF doesn't make it big at least he got to tell some of his testimony though rap.
This was the first ever NF song I listened to over 2 years ago and I instantly fell in love with everything about the song. The other day 'Let You Down' was playing on tv and I cried with pride at how far Nate has come over the years. I'm so proud to call myself a fan.
This guy is talented.
This is boss.
I know RIGHT?
Have you listened to his entire EP?
EP? Please explain.....
If you are meaning what I think you are meaning then no I have not.
But I love this song.......
An EP means a smaller collection of songs. It's really good. I highly suggest listening to all of the songs. But hey this one is Awesome. The guy is raw, real, and his music is dynamite.

true
Those current day artist usually sing about broken hearts, love yourself bullshit and sex. It's annoying
@@milacuchacovich6046 ik well, breakups are tough too tho but you shouldn't just sing about it, talk to somebody get help
I'm not sleeping until I listen to all the songs I've never listened to by NF

lyrics
intro: You spend your life in a dream that you can't escape
'Cause you live your life in a coma, you're never awake
If you'd open your eyes then maybe you'd see what's at stake
You're sleeping, you're sleeping
verse 1:You make a lot of money and you live in a mansion
And pretty much got everything that you could ever imagine
But you feel like even though you got everything in the world
You got nothing, so what you do then is you start going backwards
You runnin' in a direction
And you lookin' for something that isn't real
And all you know is that you just gotta have it
What you're doin' is sleepin'
And thinking that you're awake and you're not
And the problem is that you don't know what you're after
So you put everything that you have into what you do
Hoping that one day maybe you don't have to feel like you're empty
But as you get older a lot of weight on your shoulders is getting heavy
Then you look back and you start to regret things
You only get one life
And every time you lookin' at yours
You feel like everything you have is a waste!
And the problem and the reason you could never fill a hole in your life
Is because you were never awake
hook: You spend your life in a dream that you can't escape
'Cause you live your life in a coma, you're never awake
Wake up (x8)
verse 2: You wake up in the morning
But you feel like you never got up and go to work
And you feelin' like you ain't got a purpose
And you tryna get motivated but everything you do turns into a mess
Like you ain't nothing but worthless
And, yo, you look around
A lot of these other people you lookin' at
To you, you describe as perfect
So you point a finger at God and tell him to do his job
And fix ya' life up cause nothin' is workin'
And you will try to hide and make it seem like it's nothin'
But really you feel like everything is crashin' around you
And you develop a problem in trustin' in other people
Which later became an issue that will mentally pound you
You only get one life
But every time you lookin' at yours you feel like all you ever see are mistakes
And the problem and the reason you could never move forward in life
Is because you were never awake
Wake up
hook: You spend your life in a dream that you can't escape
'Cause you live your life in a coma, you're never awake
Wake up (x8)
bridge: You spend your life in a dream that you can't escape
'Cause you live your life in a coma, you're never awake
Wake up, wake up, wake up, wake up

All his lyrics have so much truth to spill.
The second verse really hit me hard... I started to cry... I'm speechless ;(
2023 and that 2nd verse just gets me every time!!
This song gets me crying and emotional. For some reason when he yells “wake up” it really gets me. This song gives me goosebumps and my god it’s amazing-
Falling asleep to the angelic voice of NF.
half way through my sleep... NF: WAKE UP!!!
It's amazing the lyrics that can come through man when he opens the door to God and lets HIM write the lyrics. God is a gentleman, who knocks and waits for you to open the door. This song is a testament to the opened door.
