It's interesting to hear your perspective. I'm highly depressed, have been basically my entire life. This album has had so many lines and thoughts I've said to myself
Same. Also the same with the Clouds (Mixtape). NF just can't bring out a bad song. Of course, I have favourite songs, but I literally love all of them xD
When your done listening to all songs, take your time to listen to the whole album again in order. Trust me. Edit: Dont record, enjoy the record to its fullest in your free time
I've done that 7 times now and I'm still finding something new to put on the puzzle. This album is one of the biggest I've ever heard. It's an amazing album.
@@krypticsz4154 I didn't count the times this played in my car stereo during going to work. 😂 I meant times when I got to really listen and not focus on other things at the same time. ☝️
My favourite song of the album... these lyrics go so hard for me; "Stop with the pretending, I don't feel respected I just feel rejected, I don't like rejection You promise protection, I don't feel protected I just feel neglected, how can I respect it? I'll teach them a lesson, I pick up the weapon Aim in your direction, shoot at my reflection Shatter my perception"
He is talking to Doubt. He does so well personifying the negative elements of himself. Like Fear in Intro 3. And now Doubt in Let Me Go and Leave Me Alone. I love this artist.

Beautiful Addiction is a great one as well. I hope he reacts to Can You Hold Me. I love that one. Also Face It was one that impacted me when I first found NF.
Trae Embrey We ain’t counting the moments album. I’m a massive nf fan I love him and his music. But his moments album is not that good. He’ll prolly get trashed. And I want him to be undefeated
So basically, “they” are his emotions who are “liars in his home” liars in his mansion in his mind. The emotions form Nate himself so thats why he says aim at your direction shoot at my reflection by which he shatters his perception. So, if he destroys or “kills” his emotions he will destroy himself. But his conflicting emotions are destroying him slowly right now as well. Its a big dilemma presented in a dope way.
Yeah, everytime I show this song to someone they never understand what it actually means. It rlly hits different to the ppl who rlly understand this feeling
MAN love the work u doing bruh, always keep ur mouth where your mind is, Keep it real. Nf is talking to himslef, how he maks standerts too high to reach and fells numb and lost and hopeless while he tries to reach them, REAL like he aims at "your" directions and shots at his reflexion, just makes the whole álbum and the MAnsion Album and Percepcion álbum have even more of a deep meaning ...
Layedbak is such a standard when it comes to this reaction game. My guy feels the music and is able to put his feelings in there without pausing constantly and screwing up the flow of the song. Also cant underestimate the quality of his audio. Honestly sounds better than the actual songs audio. Much love!
I can totally relate to this song. His message doesn't just identify with mental health but it also makes sense with addiction as well. All because of you and this channel, I've began looking deeper inside myself to see what more things I can do to become healthier mentally, physically, and spiritually. Thanks to everyone out there and love you all.
Just rewatched this reaction and realized you missed one of the most important lines in the song. I pick up the weapon aim in your direction shoot at my reflection shatter my perception That line was supposed to enlighten you to the fact that the majority of the song he is actually talking to about himself in the first half, and then talking to himself in the second half. This is truely one of the greatest song sever created. From the melody, to the beat, to the lyrics, to the overall message. NF will always be one of THE GREATEST ARTISTS OF ALL TIME. He is also one of the greatest lyricists.

I've been waiting for you to hear this for days lol. This song had the most impact on me over the entire album. I enjoyed the entire album but this had a personal connection with me. However this song is ominous and multiple perceptions will be taken from this track.
"Clouds parting but its all lies" I've always interpreted that as in he feels like its getting better but then realises its all lies and its actually getting worse, What about you guys?
When you are done with The Search album you need to react to NF - Can You Hold Me, it’s honestly an underrated song and really shows off his singing abilities
You’re the only reactor youtube I watch... You understand every word in a song and repeat the same thing and what it is supposed to mean and that’s what a reaction is supposed to be! Fire Squad for life!
It was also mean a lot if you could react to my song cold blooded I got mad bars on it and you’d dig it and probably also don’t want to be alone or never alone If you’d even check out cold blooded that would mean a lot 🙏
Hey layedbak, been watching your videos for a while, glad that you were able to review NF. First time I decided to comment on a video and I just wanted to share my story and how this song sort of resounds deeply in my experience. As you would know this song seems to be about the internal battle of the mind and the soul, hope and the reality of the situation. 7 years ago In a state of mental turmoil I plunged a 6 inch blade deep into my chest. Unfortunately, or more like fortunately, I made it through. The experiences that I went through during my operation without anaesthetics, followed by the mental battle that I had to go through to cling onto life during my 1 week coma was exactly like this song. Angry with the rejection, the amount of times that I countlessly tried to prove myself only to fall flat on my face, and the lack of understanding of why I went through so much pain in life just to live was what lead to this decision, and this was well described in the first part of this song. The acceptance came during my coma. I was essentially fighting tooth and nail to find a reason only to realise that the enemy was indeed me, I put those expectations on myself, adding to the burden that was already almost unsurpassable. I realised thats what held me from my true 'freedom', and from realising hope. Upon realising, then begins the journey to love myself and accept who I am, and to better myself only if its for me and nobody else. That's when it all clicked, and the gears turned. So I started to forgive myself. I should have been dead, I was considered dead for 10 minutes on the operating table. Somehow I made it out as I felt the persistence of the doctors trying to bring me back to life. It definitely was no easy journey, and this song perfectly encapsulates the journey of a person who definitely is going through with accepting themselves, and trying to figure out if they are true to themselves. Not sure if this helps in understanding the situation, but I sincerely hope that to anybody who has listened to this song or is going through some shit in their lives, trust in yourself, life is difficult, so love yourself.
@@jabsluna hey leila. Appreciate your kind words. Yeh it really does feel like moving through sludge Hahaha. But I'm glad that I am much better now. I focus on just being better then who I was previously nowadays.
I’m not here everyday checking out your channel,but out of all the reactions I’ve watched your the most passionate about the feeling in the music. I found you last year and check in when good music drops. Thank you LAYEDBAK
Nf talks to himself in the most relatable ways he's screaming for his need for perfection, his abtrusive thoughts, the anxiety to let him go. His mind is his greatest enemy in his view which is why in lost he talks about wanting to handle his thoughts pulling the reigns on em(his thoughts) ask em "like you think your in charge" it's just so deep and when you realize what it's all about it hits you differently
Congrats on 300k man well deserved! Definitely agree, that feeling of having a positive impact on people's lives is the best thing in the world, Awesome ending.
Pissed me off too it I was thinking about it all day even told my wife about it ...she was like babe your so passionate about him I love it ...I don't like the comparison to eminem they are two different people
Angie Herrera two different people with similar upbringing. Similar backstory and also from the same place. NF has said hmmm any times that he is heavily influenced by Eminem. That’s why they sound alike.
When the bass first hit... and the video shook. I thought i imagined that... you are still underrated. That little edit made a big impact in how I experienced this video. I love your videos man, stay you!
What you were talking about at the end about talking with someone who understands what you’ve been through is the exact conversation I had with one of my best friends a day ago. We were just seeing how we impacted each other’s lives through being able to share our stories without judgement, it’s truly a power thing to have empathy for others and to receive it. Awesome message LayedBak!
“I pick up the weapon, aim at your direction, shoot at my reflection “... that shit hit me HARD! I feel like I usually aim my frustration at everything and everyone around me, but in the end I notice I’m the one making excuses and I’m the cause of my failure 🤯 RELATABLE
Listening to you and a few other tubers everyday. Keeps me positive. It's not just your content (which is dope) it's you and seeing people like you that share the same values. Keep it up man, your a positive to the human equation
I’m so glad I found you! Instant subscribed. But this song-he’s talking to himself in the mirror. “I don’t feel accepted, I don’t like rejection... pick up my weapon and aim at my reflection” this whole song is about himself and talking to himself. So deep man. Your facial expressions and reactions are spot on!
The crazy thing about this song is that yes, it can be interpreted as him wanting people to let him go and be himself and find his own way. But there's also the aspect of him talking to himself again. Nate always has this internal struggle with the emotions inside himself. near the end of the song, he provides this set of lyrics "I'll teach them a lesson, I pick up the weapon. Aim in your direction, shoot at MY reflection. Shatter my perception, hate it when I'm desperate. You just want perfection, I need you to let me (go)." He's talking to himself here. He telling himself to kill the perceptions he has of himself, and all the burdens that have dragged him down over the years so that he can move on to find happiness and be the Nate the he is Searching for.
I didn't understand the song this way, i thought he was talking to his burdens(though it can be a double meaning). I'm new here and love your take on his songs. You add new layers to the songs, and i LOVE your advices. I'm loving this channel, i came for Nf and stayed for your advices and your energy. Loved you freestyle at the end!
Found your channel last month love it. Love the reactions and love how your straight forward and feel like you actually care. NF is amazing he shares so much and is so honest and relatable. All his music is bangers
NF , get that mind set to reality JOYNER LUCUS , the story maker always spit them facts just like NF LOGIC pure genesis just like joyner and NF .... that is why more people need to focus on there music and stop listening to that mumble rap my top 10 NF , JOYNER LUCUS , LOGIC,2PAC,BIGGIE,NWA,MISSY ELLIOT, NAS ,SNOOP DOGG, EMINEM my top 10 .... watch i give it by the new year mumble rap rap gonna be gone for good...LAYEDBAK i love you all your videos FIRE SQUAD
When you talk bro I take it to heart….because you sound like you talk with your heart when you explain NFs music and make it 10x better I appreciate you bro 😎🤙🏼
🔥🔥🔥🔥 man you right man it’s all about the message and I love when you find someone to relate to because then you can let go of other judgment and be real !!!!
"I'll teach him a lesson, I pick up a weapon, aim in your direction, shoot at my reflection, shatter my perception, hate it when I'm desperate, you just want perfection, I want you to let me go" It sounds to me like he's talking to himself in this song. He mentions in a lot of other songs that he has OCD, and that it influences the way he makes music. It sounds like this song is aimed at his mental illness, instead of other people who want to break him down. Love the vids, keep em coming!
I’ve been a NF fan since mansion and watch a few of your first vids on him and have never heard you rap until that fire free style at the end kinda in it now
I could watch this like 10000 times in a row and never get bored. Bro like every time I’m feeling like listening to NF (which is everyday) I would always rather watch your reaction to the song then listen to the actual song. Good looks bro!! Keep up the good work #firesquadwhatspoppin

LOVE YOUR CHANNEL MAN YOU SHOULD REACT TO SOME DREX CARTER LIKE NAGATO
You are very correct always believe never doubt yourself
NF will never be trashed he’s one of the only rappers that make you think when he raps.
I think he is telling himself, his emotions, his darker side to let him go
It's interesting to hear your perspective. I'm highly depressed, have been basically my entire life. This album has had so many lines and thoughts I've said to myself
Fact
He just has power in his songs like no one I’ve ever seen before. This album is a serious coming out party
in2deep412 sorry to hear that bro ,hopefully you keep fighting and keep going! Your life is IMPORTANT 🙏🏻
"I pick up my weapon, aim in your direction, shoot at my reflection."
Theres so much depth in this line. It sums up the album.
His next line is "Shatter my perception", which probably isn't related, but his 3rd album was called "Perception"
@@corone8960 yeah that line is definitely a play on his last album being called that
The shatter my perception line refers to his 3rd album and how everything he thought he knew was wrong. Shattered
He’s broken?
Michael cahill well it’s called the search for a reason he’s searching because what he thought he knew was broken
New York Times being offensive with that "another white rapper" comment like come on really🙄🙄🙄

Kayla Fleetwood for real like just call him a fucking rapper
@@andrewh619 😂
@@MisterRawgers I'm sorry who? Lol
Diplomatic America. They hate what he’s doing right now. We need to keep him going bc they will try to kill it
I liked every single song in "The Search"
Felt like I could relate in a lot. Honestly have never liked every single song of an album
xFlaff same
NF and Eminem are two artists who I've liked entire projects from...
Good kid mad city - Kendrick listen in order story album :)
Same. Also the same with the Clouds (Mixtape). NF just can't bring out a bad song. Of course, I have favourite songs, but I literally love all of them xD
When your done listening to all songs, take your time to listen to the whole album again in order.
Trust me.

well said
“Idk if I’m making movies or music videos” 🤷🏼♂️
My favourite song of the album... these lyrics go so hard for me;
"Stop with the pretending, I don't feel respected
I just feel rejected, I don't like rejection
You promise protection, I don't feel protected
I just feel neglected, how can I respect it?
I'll teach them a lesson, I pick up the weapon
Aim in your direction, shoot at my reflection

“Like This” should be next up from the album
I like this comment
Still waiting for him to react to "like that"

@@joshvms1268 nice
Indeed
Fr
This song is him talking To his balloons to let him go trying to find the seven letters (freedom)
3lim64 . How do you know?
I thought it was suicide ?
@@사파타브라이언 same. I was doing dishes while listening to the song again and heard that part. Seven letters and sure enough suicide's got 7.
He searching for freedom it’s in other songs and he is talking to is doubts and insecurity
His talking to himself 'shoot at my reflection'
Your facial expressions are the best. 😂
Pretty sure at the end he reveals he’s talking to himself... “I aim in your direction, shoot at my reflection”
You sir are correct
caught that... puts a whole other spin on the song.
He is talking to Doubt. He does so well personifying the negative elements of himself. Like Fear in Intro 3. And now Doubt in Let Me Go and Leave Me Alone. I love this artist.
I think that was one of the most obvious things lol no hate just saying
Alpha23 NK9 you must be a friggin genius. No hate, just saying.

You missed that he's talking about himself bro. "Aim in your direction, shoot at my reflection".
@Jay Thomas he was pointing out something that was meaningful and relatable to him you dont have to be a cock and come in putting him down
@Jay Thomas I was sayin that LayedBak missed the point of the song. Nate wasn't talking about people outside.
Look, he is talking to Doubt the entire song, but at the end he says Doubt is inside of him
MAN love the work u doing bruh, always keep ur mouth where your mind is, Keep it real.
Nf is talking to himslef, how he maks standerts too high to reach and fells numb and lost and hopeless while he tries to reach them, REAL like he aims at "your" directions and shots at his reflexion, just makes the whole álbum and the MAnsion Album and Percepcion álbum have even more of a deep meaning ...
I got on here as soon as this vidy dropped and mad heads already commented... Fire squad, WHATS POPPIN
I think he's talking about his OCD, fears, insecurities. Everything dude does is fire because it's real stuff and it comes from the heart.
NF is the best. I feel like no matter what there's always a part of his song you can relate to

Lyrics
Talk to you with my hands tied
Walk towards you on a fine line
Everybody has a dark side
I feel embarrassed when they see mine
Rain falling from my dark skies
Clouds parting, but it's all lies
Shouldn't I see the sunshine now?
Wonder how I look in God's eyes
Am I a good person or a lost one?
Will this feel worth it when I'm all done?
Will I feel ashamed of like who I was?
With the pain vanish or will more come?
Will I stay numb or regain love?
Maybe someday have a taste of freedom?
Will I take the poison out of my blood?
Or just leave it there inside of my lungs?
I (know know, know)
I should let you go, hands are feeling cold
Just leave me alone (no, no, no)
I just want control, I feel so exposed
Liars in my home (no, no, no)
Please do not provoke, noose around my soul, I cut down the rope
They don't want me happy, they don't want me fixed
They don't want me better, they just want me broke
Talk but never listen, at least I admit it
Blackout all my vision, watching me diminish
That's my favorite past time, I know nothing different
Tell me something different, I don't see the difference
I just feel offended, I just feel defensive
Why don't you accept me? I just need acceptance
Time is of the essence, don't like how we spend it
You just want perfection, I need you to let me
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
Why'd you say I don't belong here? (Huh?)
Fill a bucket full of my tears (Huh?)
Pour it out the water, all of my insecurities whenever I'm scared
I watch 'em grow and say, "I don't care"
I pray to God they ask if hope's real
And if it isn't, I was thinking
Maybe you could introduce us, we ain't met still
Yeah, my chest feels like a blade's in it
Who put it there? I think they did it
Out the zone know, where am I head it
Am I Hell-bound? Will I find Heaven?
Will I feel better or just regret it?
If I let you go and find the seven letters
I been looking for us like it's never endin'
Open all the doors and let the peace enter
I'm (so, so, so)
Pitiful at times, miserable inside
They want me to hide (no, no, no)
How can I survive? Change your state of mind
I should say goodbye (no, no, no)
They want me to beg, they want me to plead, they want me to die
They just want me dead, they just want me hurt
Don't want me to live, don't want me alive
Stop with the pretending, I don't feel respected
I just feel rejected, I don't like rejection
You promise protection, I don't feel protected
I just feel neglected, how can I respect it?
I'll teach them a lesson, I pick up the weapon
Aim in your direction, shoot at my reflection
Shatter my perception, hate it when I'm desperate
You just want perfection, I want you to let me
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go
Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go (let me go)
NF is the Mr. Robot of the rap industry. Lol
Omg right!!!!!
Holy crap big facts
Ooh shit bro u smart asf😂😂
whole album full of straight FIRE! I fuckin love NF man. I really gotta see him live. Loved the reaction as always man. Much love!
Next Like this by NF
The beat in this song basically
Layedbak type beat I'm 100% sure he will rock with it
I always think to myself that Like This is the 3AM of The Search.
I've been waiting for you to hear this for days lol. This song had the most impact on me over the entire album. I enjoyed the entire album but this had a personal connection with me. However this song is ominous and multiple perceptions will be taken from this track.
"Clouds parting but its all lies" I've always interpreted that as in he feels like its getting better but then realises its all lies and its actually getting worse, What about you guys?
I’m so glad I found this channel, he gives awesome perspectives on a phenomenal artist and gives him more depth
I feel like he's telling his emotions and doubts to let him go.
4:00 I love hearing you sing!! We love you Zaddy and the #firesquad got you always love and peace from down under 🌏🇦🇺🐨💋
When you are done with The Search album you need to react to NF - Can You Hold Me, it’s honestly an underrated song and really shows off his singing abilities
Fr its one of my favorites
Its my fav song👌🏾🎶listen to that shit daily..
Zack D. Same here!
@@BangBangspideyproduc 🔥✨👌🏾
Yesss 🙌🙌 and even some of his songs on his Moments album.
You’re the only reactor youtube I watch... You understand every word in a song and repeat the same thing and what it is supposed to mean and that’s what a reaction is supposed to be! Fire Squad for life!
I was waiting for another NF reaction layedbac your awesome man
this is why nf is my favorite u think one thing will happen then be says sike hits with something different and it is so great
Yo... Off topic, but those "Health is Wealth" shirts/hoodies are 💯🔥
It was also mean a lot if you could react to my song cold blooded I got mad bars on it and you’d dig it and probably also don’t want to be alone or never alone If you’d even check out cold blooded that would mean a lot 🙏
Can't believe we left "Like This" to be one of the last. That song is so underrated on this album 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Agreed. Though I've not underrated anything on this album. Such a masterpiece... Every song completes another.
Theres thinking too! That one is a good one too
Hey layedbak, been watching your videos for a while, glad that you were able to review NF. First time I decided to comment on a video and I just wanted to share my story and how this song sort of resounds deeply in my experience.
As you would know this song seems to be about the internal battle of the mind and the soul, hope and the reality of the situation. 7 years ago In a state of mental turmoil I plunged a 6 inch blade deep into my chest. Unfortunately, or more like fortunately, I made it through. The experiences that I went through during my operation without anaesthetics, followed by the mental battle that I had to go through to cling onto life during my 1 week coma was exactly like this song.
Angry with the rejection, the amount of times that I countlessly tried to prove myself only to fall flat on my face, and the lack of understanding of why I went through so much pain in life just to live was what lead to this decision, and this was well described in the first part of this song.
The acceptance came during my coma. I was essentially fighting tooth and nail to find a reason only to realise that the enemy was indeed me, I put those expectations on myself, adding to the burden that was already almost unsurpassable. I realised thats what held me from my true 'freedom', and from realising hope. Upon realising, then begins the journey to love myself and accept who I am, and to better myself only if its for me and nobody else. That's when it all clicked, and the gears turned. So I started to forgive myself.
I should have been dead, I was considered dead for 10 minutes on the operating table. Somehow I made it out as I felt the persistence of the doctors trying to bring me back to life.
It definitely was no easy journey, and this song perfectly encapsulates the journey of a person who definitely is going through with accepting themselves, and trying to figure out if they are true to themselves.
Not sure if this helps in understanding the situation, but I sincerely hope that to anybody who has listened to this song or is going through some shit in their lives, trust in yourself, life is difficult, so love yourself.
@@jabsluna hey leila. Appreciate your kind words. Yeh it really does feel like moving through sludge Hahaha. But I'm glad that I am much better now. I focus on just being better then who I was previously nowadays.
You need to hear "Only" bruh. It explains his state of mind.
JungleHunter11 he already did bruh🤦♂️

@@Hollycalvey You're cute! What do you like besides NF?
@@Blazntrax81 Definitely not u bro 😂
@@-trickster- 😂🖕🖕
I’m not here everyday checking out your channel,but out of all the reactions I’ve watched your the most passionate about the feeling in the music. I found you last year and check in when good music drops. Thank you LAYEDBAK
Pass!! NF is straight 🔥🔥🔥! Without a single lousy weak minded curse word! No filler! Nothing but truth, passion and BARS! #RapperOfTheCentury!
Also react to GAWNE - Resurrection it’s deep at first then goes hRd! GAWNE is aunderrated af artist you’d love bro!
Love you so much!
Btw this is the best REACTION CHANNEL EVER 💥
Nf talks to himself in the most relatable ways he's screaming for his need for perfection, his abtrusive thoughts, the anxiety to let him go. His mind is his greatest enemy in his view which is why in lost he talks about wanting to handle his thoughts pulling the reigns on em(his thoughts) ask em "like you think your in charge" it's just so deep and when you realize what it's all about it hits you differently
*10 percent of the time I’m hyped up and like “yeah man!”*
*90 percent of the time you touch my food I’ll smack the hell out of you*
@The flying Pig I can relate🤣
Congrats on 300k man well deserved! Definitely agree, that feeling of having a positive impact on people's lives is the best thing in the world, Awesome ending.

*NF has the No. 1 Album in the Country and he sounds miserable*
This actually pissed me off too much 😂
Kareem Majeens they don’t mean that he sounds bad. They’re saying like, “you have the #1 album but you don’t sound happy about it”
Pissed me off too it I was thinking about it all day even told my wife about it ...she was like babe your so passionate about him I love it ...I don't like the comparison to eminem they are two different people
Angie Herrera two different people with similar upbringing. Similar backstory and also from the same place. NF has said hmmm any times that he is heavily influenced by Eminem.
That’s why they sound alike.
Moses Martinez I know. Still pissed me off cuz they don't see how his music motivates people...they just think he's miserable
Kareem Majeens that’s because he portrays himself as being miserable in his album.
I swear this is so emotional... the end of the vid was like a serman.
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!!!💯
Layedbak keep doing what u doing! 💯💯💯💯
I be on the floor laughing so hard when you singin 😂
Cawo omg same I was dying. 😂😂😂 #firesquad
Yeah bruh but he was good vibin the stuff
When the bass first hit... and the video shook. I thought i imagined that... you are still underrated. That little edit made a big impact in how I experienced this video. I love your videos man, stay you!
1:35
"And i don't know if i am making movies or music videos" ~ NF the search
What you were talking about at the end about talking with someone who understands what you’ve been through is the exact conversation I had with one of my best friends a day ago. We were just seeing how we impacted each other’s lives through being able to share our stories without judgement, it’s truly a power thing to have empathy for others and to receive it. Awesome message LayedBak!
“I pick up the weapon, aim at your direction, shoot at my reflection “... that shit hit me HARD! I feel like I usually aim my frustration at everything and everyone around me, but in the end I notice I’m the one making excuses and I’m the cause of my failure 🤯 RELATABLE
Listening to you and a few other tubers everyday. Keeps me positive. It's not just your content (which is dope) it's you and seeing people like you that share the same values. Keep it up man, your a positive to the human equation
My man straight spittin fire at the end 😂 🔥 loved that freestyle dude and love the video
I’m so glad I found you! Instant subscribed.
But this song-he’s talking to himself in the mirror. “I don’t feel accepted, I don’t like rejection... pick up my weapon and aim at my reflection” this whole song is about himself and talking to himself. So deep man. Your facial expressions and reactions are spot on!
Thinking is the deepest song on the drop “musically”
Put the headphones on and listen to the mysterical movement... dope!
This is my favorite on the album, loved your reaction too. Thanks!
I’m a simple man
I see layedbak upload
I click
Lol indeed.
I really like how I can watch your videos and feel like I know you. It's not like a distant level feeling. Much love man.
imagine LayedBakDFR collaborating with nf that’s a sight to see ayee
Currently my favorite song on the album, in love with the atmosphere it creates everytime I listen. Thank you for reacting!
You're gonna feel a vibe with Like This man i can't get over that song lol.
When the album dropped this song was how I felt the entire day, I had it on repeat. Loving these reactions
The crazy thing about this song is that yes, it can be interpreted as him wanting people to let him go and be himself and find his own way. But there's also the aspect of him talking to himself again. Nate always has this internal struggle with the emotions inside himself. near the end of the song, he provides this set of lyrics "I'll teach them a lesson, I pick up the weapon. Aim in your direction, shoot at MY reflection. Shatter my perception, hate it when I'm desperate. You just want perfection, I need you to let me (go)." He's talking to himself here. He telling himself to kill the perceptions he has of himself, and all the burdens that have dragged him down over the years so that he can move on to find happiness and be the Nate the he is Searching for.
Facts
I didn't understand the song this way, i thought he was talking to his burdens(though it can be a double meaning). I'm new here and love your take on his songs. You add new layers to the songs, and i LOVE your advices. I'm loving this channel, i came for Nf and stayed for your advices and your energy. Loved you freestyle at the end!
🔥Shoot at my reflection, shatter my perception🔥. He’s holding himself to those high standards as well.
Found your channel last month love it. Love the reactions and love how your straight forward and feel like you actually care. NF is amazing he shares so much and is so honest and relatable. All his music is bangers
“Health is wealth” those facial expressions can’t be healthy😂😂😂
React to his Perception album, then Clouds album😏 If you haven't already looked ahead. Yes, Ik... Hard to resist, huh?
NF , get that mind set to reality
JOYNER LUCUS , the story maker always spit them facts just like NF
LOGIC pure genesis just like joyner and NF .... that is why more people need to focus on there music and stop listening to that mumble rap my top 10 NF , JOYNER LUCUS , LOGIC,2PAC,BIGGIE,NWA,MISSY ELLIOT, NAS ,SNOOP DOGG, EMINEM my top 10 .... watch i give it by the new year mumble rap rap gonna be gone for good...LAYEDBAK i love you all your videos FIRE SQUAD
When you talk bro I take it to heart….because you sound like you talk with your heart when you explain NFs music and make it 10x better I appreciate you bro 😎🤙🏼
To me, seems like he's telling his brain to, let him go. He wants freedom from his thoughts!
Right
🔥🔥🔥🔥 man you right man it’s all about the message and I love when you find someone to relate to because then you can let go of other judgment and be real !!!!
His freestyle beat the end was actually decent😂👌🏾
i love seeing that others have the same reaction i had when i first heard this album. literally all of his songs have u in your FEELS
Another 🔥🔥🔥....have you listened to the interlude yet? I usually close my eyes when I here this one, it's an experience! #FireSquad 🔥🔥🔥
AND THATS WHY I LOVE HIS MUSIC HE KEEPS IT REAL I UNDERSTAND 🙏.....THNKS FOR UR HONEST WORDS❤👍👍🙏BLESS U LAYEDBAK!
For Sunday rock and roll pls do skillet feel invincible or breaking Benjamin “diary of Jane”
Please do, they're both good songs
Good shit. I recently requested breaking benjamin - blow me away. Any older BB songs will do justice imo.
Any bb song is good but the first one he should do is diary of Jane as it’s probs the best one
Ooooooo! I've been waitin' for you to do this one. One of my favorites. Thanks!
He’s talking to himself this whole song.
"I'll teach him a lesson, I pick up a weapon, aim in your direction, shoot at my reflection, shatter my perception, hate it when I'm desperate, you just want perfection, I want you to let me go"
It sounds to me like he's talking to himself in this song. He mentions in a lot of other songs that he has OCD, and that it influences the way he makes music. It sounds like this song is aimed at his mental illness, instead of other people who want to break him down.
Love the vids, keep em coming!
If you ever go to one of his concerts you gotta live stream!
That ending u did was sooo good, it's not a trash, that was a pass, from me definitely
Could you react to Rapping until im screaming (very passionate) from Mac Lethal, please? 😀
I’ve been a NF fan since mansion and watch a few of your first vids on him and have never heard you rap until that fire free style at the end kinda in it now
The price on those health is wealth shirts should be 20.19
Jus saying
#firesquad
I have been waiting for this one, this is one of my favorite songs on this album...
PLEASE REACT TO THE RUclips CYPHER VOL. 2! 🔥🔥🔥 #firesquad #SelfLoveAndPositivity
I think it'd be cool if he got on Cypher Vol. 3
I could watch this like 10000 times in a row and never get bored. Bro like every time I’m feeling like listening to NF (which is everyday) I would always rather watch your reaction to the song then listen to the actual song. Good looks bro!! Keep up the good work #firesquadwhatspoppin
