Yess you're super close!! This is fear talking to Nate! If you remember in mansion he said "fear came into my house years ago, I let him in, he must have picked a room and got comfortable and settled in" and in this song he makes an extremely clear call back to that. Also in mansion he says "Is it me or the fear talking? I don't know anymore" and in this song fear says "Is it me or the fear talking? What a dumb question" making fun of Nate. To this day this is still one of his best songs, a whole masterpiece. I definitely recommend listening to it again with this new knowledge, you'll like it even more
you were very astute with your observations, but specifically, he's talking to fear....remember he said in mansion that fear moved in and got his own room? he talked about that in this song....peace my man
Not only that, remember in Outro (the song that was supposed to be perceptions preview) at the end he said "Moving to Intro III trying to kill my fear"
Dude, this whole video I sat there thinking that you were so damn close. He was specifically burying fear as a thousand other comments have informed you LOL
Yaaasss! I have been waiting for you to get to this one. It's insane. It's a masterpiece. It's different. He personifies fear and then buries him. I've never heard anything quite like this. The look on your face when he hit him with the shovel. Priceless!
You were killing me the whole video!!! Haha 😂😂😂 And when you said “remember he said he picked a room and got comfortable” I was like YES he’s gonna get it!!! I was almost yelling “it’s fear it’s fear it’s fear!!!! Haha And then … nope 🤷♀️🤷♀️😂😂 You had it the whole time … you robbed us of that “AHHAA 😳” moment that we all wait for when watching reactions to this song!!! 😂😂 When you finally realize “it’s FEAR”!!!! That is possibly the best thing about watching this one!!! Other than it is, as you also recognized, a freaking masterpiece!!! I also want to add something about the “keys” that no one else pointed out yet … if you remember, in Outro, (along with saying “listen to Intro III trying to kill my fear) he literally finds the keys at the end of the video!!! Nate is a genius!!! There are so many Easter eggs in this one, and in so many of his songs!! And I am entirely too hyped up right now, I gotta go to bed!!! 🤦♀️🤷♀️ Great reaction!!! Next, Outcast!!!! YES!!!! Here we gooooo!!! #Outcasts we all here for it!!! 🖤 #RMTTDWD #NFrealmusic Thanks fam 🗝🖤🗝
NF personifies emotions. Fear, joy, anger, etc. This is fear arguing with NF and NF buries him but knows it's only temporary. Great energy in your reaction!!!
After this album came out, I read a print interview where they asked him what is his favorite song out of everything he's ever written. He said that this one was it! I think it's a masterpiece as well 💯 I don't know if that has changed since then but yeah this right here is genius 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I’ve been listening to NF since Therapy Session. I listened to intro III as soon as it dropped and I’ve been listening to it since then and you still brought up some things that I didn’t even think of until now. Thanks I love your reactions keep it up bro💯
The best part about reactors finally reaching intro 3 is that by this point you’re familiar enough with Nate to kinda know where his vibe is at. And now he will proceed to blow you away with each song slapping harder and harder. Rest of Perception and The Search is where hair gets real
I know you've probably been properly educated on how it's specifically about fear, but it's awesome to watch reactors that really get this intro, and you got it. Really dig the way you appreciate what makes Mr F so amazing.
LOVE the reaction.....little surprised you didn't get the fear part as who he was talking with, but you still had the idea.....LOVINg the journey #nfrealmusic
This was a fantastic reaction dude!!! You were right on with it all! And seeing how it’s impacting you, I can’t wait to see more!!! Crazy that he’s got a LOT more 🔥 content waitin for you!!!!
It's NF's fear talking to NF until the end when NF takes control and tries to bury his fear. Break it down to really understand it. FEAR: "What, are you scared of me? That's embarrassing If it wasn't for me, you would've never wrote Therapy - (therapy session album) I've been here for you, but how come you're never there for me? It's a little bit twisted, but I miss when you and I had scary dreams" NF: "I don't really wanna talk about it" FEAR: "Well, that's too bad now, Nate, shut up! Now where were we? Way back in the day when You and I had it all mapped out in the basement Cryin' in your room like a baby "I wish mom was here" We all do so we wouldn't have to hear about it Every single record you don't really wanna change me Yeah, I'm the one that made this happen Do you really wanna get rid of your main attraction? Let's pack our bags and go back to Gladwin now Yeah, it's time for the third record And you know I got the content I don't wanna make you nervous But it ain't like it used to be We got a lotta people watchin' You told me that you don't want me in your life, that's pretty hard to digest And I told you I'd leave when we die And we ain't died yet Therapy Session was beautiful, Nate, but I'm wonderin' what's comin' next Yeah, get that stupid hat off of your head when I'm talkin' to you, you hear what I said? You don't like the prison I built you? Yeah, you wanna know what the funny thing is? You keep on talkin' to me like a stranger, but we've been together since you were a kid Took us from a no-name Told you everything was okay Now you tryna cut me out of it like I ain't never been a part of it I am the heart of it, I made this whole thing Yeah, I put us on the dope stage You must have no brain What's the point of having guns if you can't aim? What's the point of having blood with no veins? What's the point of having love with no pain? What I'm sayin' is, me without you doesn't make any sense I know I'm intense and controlling, but you need to learn how to cope with it That's just the way that it is If you didn't want me to live in your house, you shouldn't have let me move in It's comfortable in here and I like it, I got my own room and everything It don't get better than this! You say you wanna own your life, then wake up and take your own advice You just mad 'cause you know I'm right Yeah, I'm flattered you put me in Mansion, but you should've told 'em right 'Bout your hands on the coldest nights You didn't tell 'em 'bout the times you and I used to hold the mic I mean, what are you, outta your mind? 'Cause both of us will be NF: "Come on, let's go outside!" FEAR: "Is this what you wanted? Both of us out in the open? Let's do it then I mean, why are you doin' this? I know that you're mad, but I'm not in the mood for this We got a record to drop So why you actin' like I'm not a part of it? " NF: "Hey where is my shovel at?" FEAR: "Prolly out back where it always is You can't get rid of all of me I'm the reason why... " NF: "Nah, shut up, I don't wanna hear another sentence" FEAR: "Hey, I'm NF Is it me or the fear talkin'? Ha, What a dumb question Yeah, it's real music 'til the day we die, right? Ain't that the slogan, Nathan? " NF: "Thought I told you to keep your mouth shut" FEAR: "I mean, so what? You know I never listen Let me guess We gon' dig a hole, kill the track, and prolly put a beat in it Rap about it for like three minutes Ayy, that's pretty deep, isn't it? Wait a minute, you don't really think for a second that you're puttin' me in this? " NF: "No, of course not, just a lil' deeper then we'll go inside and we can stop diggin'" FEAR: "Woo! You had me scared for a second, I thought we were diggin' my grave" NF: "We did, what, you don't like bein' afraid? It's a dose of your own medicine What, you don't like how it tastes? My therapist told me don't bury my issues, but I'ma be honest, man, I'm feelin' great! I think it's only right we go back to where you were created I wrote a song for Johnny without you, but he ain't gon' like it, let's see how he takes it He prolly don't even remember us, does he? I wish I was burying anger, but both of us know I'ma need him for that song He still lives in the basement Almost done, shoulda done this a year ago I don't know why I waited You know how I get it, I put everything off of my personal life, you hear what I'm sayin'? That was a joke Yeah, it's hilarious, ain't it? You'll spend the rest of your life in my backyard or back of my mind, depends how you see it Put the shovel away, time to go back in the house now, you'll be out in a week Tellin' me you want your room back, that's funny, what, you ain't got nowhere to sleep? I'ma just look out the window and laugh at you, this is crazy to me 'Cause I thought you had me in prison this whole time, but I'm the one holdin' the keys" In Mansion, NF said "You used to put me in the corner, so you could see the fear in my eyes . Then took me downstairs and beat me till I screamed and I cried" and in this song he says "I think it's only right we go back to where you were created. I wrote a song for Johnny without you, but he ain't gon' like it, let's see how he takes it." Johnny was his moms boyfriend who abused him and where fear became a big part of NF. He then says "I wish I was burying anger, but both of us know I'ma need him for that song" basically meaning he isn't afraid of his abuser anymore, just angry. There's still more I could break down but hopefully that much helps anyone who is confused.
You had an interesting take, and I could see how you would go to pain. His fear is a derivative of all of the abuse and emotional trauma that he experienced so in a way it is, but at this point he is still trying to process the base layer which is specifically the fear and anxieties. The lyrics are a conversation between fear and himself that slowly switches the dominant personality culminating in fear being buried. At least that is how I took it.
Love this reaction. Best yet! Just found your journey yesterday and I’ve been on the binge. I have no idea why people keep telling you to not pause so much - if they want to listen to the track without it… go listen to the track. I know I’m talking to the past so I’ll stop. That being said - I dig your pauses and lyric breakdowns.
Its a conversation between him and fear. Here's the lyrics and different parts. FEAR: What, are you scared of me? That's embarassin' If it wasn't for me, you would've never wrote Therapy I've been here for you, but how come you're never there for me? It's a little bit twisted, but I miss when you and I had scary dreams NATE: I don't really wanna talk about it FEAR: Well, that's too bad now, Nate, shut up! Now where were we?

I think it's only right we go back to where you were created I wrote a song for Jonny without you, But he ain't gon' like it, let's see how he takes it He probably don't even remember us, does he? I wish I was buryin' anger, But both of us know I'ma need him for that song, Ne still lives in the basement Almost done, shoulda done this a year ago I don't know why I waited You know how I get, I put everything off of my personal life, You hear what I'm sayin'?

I'ma just look out the window and laugh at you, This is crazy to me 'Cause I thought you had me in prison this whole time, But I'm the one holdin' the keys He makes that reference to Johnny and he was his moms abusive boyfriend who abused him. Theres a whole lot more of the song and all of nfs songs in general. Especially this song there are so many references to Mansion and therapy session and even songs in perception. You can hear more about Johnny in the song called "Nate" on the search.
I have been WAITING for you to listen to this one. This is hands down my favorite NF song and I knew you would love it I'm so glad you finally got to it!!
You are very close bro, it was FEAR the whole time. And Johnny is referring to his mom’s boyfriend who abused him. Now you get to do OUTCAST…I’m real excited now.
I wasn’t sure if you caught it or not, but the part where he asked “WHERE IS MY SHOVEL AT?” and then the reply of “ITS PROBABLY OUT BACK WHERE IT ALWAYS IS” is a nod back to INTRO 2. At the end of the video he was digging a hole. Go check it out. And the end of this song where he’s left holding the keys leads straight into OUTCAST. NF is sooooo good bro, I’m glad your here
Also “what are you out of your mind? Cause both of us will be, come on, let’s go outside.” Nates out of his mind because he’s talking to fear as if it’s human. He’s literally insane. Fear is out of the actual mansion (mind) because Nate is acknowledging it.
Bro you got mad skills so I had to subscribe! Mad respect! Deciphered FEAR pretty much. My favorite album is THE SEARCH . Can’t wait for that reaction!
It took me 3 times of listening to it to get that he was talking to fear... Go back and listen again KNOWING!! It will blow your mind! CHILLS!!!! Johnny was his mom's boyfriend, the one who apparently would take him to the basement and beat him till he screamed and cried... MANSION
Oh shit I don't know how I missed this reaction, this is the one I've been waiting for since the beginning. I remember the first time I was telling you about the song look at the exact words I used as well. The song is nothing under a masterpiece.
He's talking about his ocd and mental disorders that make him feel like the good him and bad him are to totally disconnected Two different People Hed like to bury his ocd and panic disorder but its made him everything he is. There nate And nf Nate is little nf back in the day "I wish mom was here, we all do do we wouldn't have to hear about it " Abandonment issues that in turn creates ocd, if you feel as if things are out of control you control every last thing you can its human nature. "We got a lot of people watching" "I told you id leave when we die and I ain't died yet" Its him vs. Him Thays what the songs about, his mental prison has inspired others but he still can't seem to inspire himself, he's still not happy because it's an internal battle between him and un healed or unhealable him
it is his fear, not all of his issues. listen to the 3rd verse in mansion again, it will make more sense. There is a NF fan music video, it helps make more sense
Johnny was his his step dad who abused him. in mansion if you remember he said "You used to put me in the corner, so you could see the fear in my eyes Then took me downstairs and beat me 'til I screamed and I cried " he was talking about his step dad johnny
I have been watching you for awhile man. I've been patently waiting for you to get to this Album and react to Remember This. Set aside a good 20 to 30m of video time for that one too
I really wish he did a video for this. I envisioned it as two NFs, one as NF and one as Fear and they go at it the entire video. Pretty much jus play out the lyrics. 😁😁 it would’ve been great Ik it 😄 N at one point n the video (when the beat drops) “Fear” grabs the camera/NF and raps the line about killing a track n putting a beat in it. This is what I think about every time I listen to this song 😄😄
He buried Fear. Johnny is an old abusive boyfriend of his mom that would beat him.
I’ve been a fan for years and just now found out who Johnny is
Yess you're super close!! This is fear talking to Nate! If you remember in mansion he said "fear came into my house years ago, I let him in, he must have picked a room and got comfortable and settled in" and in this song he makes an extremely clear call back to that. Also in mansion he says "Is it me or the fear talking? I don't know anymore" and in this song fear says "Is it me or the fear talking? What a dumb question" making fun of Nate. To this day this is still one of his best songs, a whole masterpiece. I definitely recommend listening to it again with this new knowledge, you'll like it even more
thanks for the reminder & for clearing things up!
I just caught the line that says "I mean what are you out of your mind? cause both of us will be, come on lets go outside!"
you were very astute with your observations, but specifically, he's talking to fear....remember he said in mansion that fear moved in and got his own room? he talked about that in this song....peace my man
thank you! appreciate the comment and thanks for helping me better understand this song!
Not only that, remember in Outro (the song that was supposed to be perceptions preview) at the end he said "Moving to Intro III trying to kill my fear"
"FEAR" what a dumb question!!!
@@ryanhurdle9564 "Is it me or the fear talking? What a dumb question"***
Was a reference to the ending to Mansion
@@NoyzBocks also also the *What you dont like being AFRAID. Its a dose of your own medicine, you dont like how it tastes?*
Dude, this whole video I sat there thinking that you were so damn close. He was specifically burying fear as a thousand other comments have informed you LOL
Maaan I can't WAIT until dev gets into the search and clouds. Gonna be INSANE
Agreed
He already did the search, clouds don't know
Just went to an NF concert in Charlotte Sunday night and this dude had THE WHOLE PLACE JUMPING!!
johnny is his mother's boyfriend that physically abused him....the one he talked about in mansion as well
thank you!
For real, he makes me see his music….damn
Yaaasss! I have been waiting for you to get to this one. It's insane. It's a masterpiece. It's different. He personifies fear and then buries him. I've never heard anything quite like this.
The look on your face when he hit him with the shovel. Priceless!
You were killing me the whole video!!! Haha 😂😂😂 And when you said “remember he said he picked a room and got comfortable” I was like YES he’s gonna get it!!! I was almost yelling “it’s fear it’s fear it’s fear!!!! Haha And then … nope 🤷♀️🤷♀️😂😂 You had it the whole time … you robbed us of that “AHHAA 😳” moment that we all wait for when watching reactions to this song!!! 😂😂 When you finally realize “it’s FEAR”!!!!

Great reaction!!! Next, Outcast!!!! YES!!!! Here we gooooo!!! #Outcasts we all here for it!!! 🖤 #RMTTDWD #NFrealmusic
Thanks fam 🗝🖤🗝
I believe that Johnny is supposed to be an alias for his moms abusive bf
NF personifies emotions. Fear, joy, anger, etc. This is fear arguing with NF and NF buries him but knows it's only temporary. Great energy in your reaction!!!
After this album came out, I read a print interview where they asked him what is his favorite song out of everything he's ever written. He said that this one was it! I think it's a masterpiece as well 💯 I don't know if that has changed since then but yeah this right here is genius 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I wait patiently for your NF reactions sir. You're my favorite when it comes to Nate reactions! Keep on keeping.
I’ve been listening to NF since Therapy Session. I listened to intro III as soon as it dropped and I’ve been listening to it since then and you still brought up some things that I didn’t even think of until now. Thanks I love your reactions keep it up bro💯
He’s talking to his fear in this song btw
yep
appreciate the clarification!
The best part about reactors finally reaching intro 3 is that by this point you’re familiar enough with Nate to kinda know where his vibe is at. And now he will proceed to blow you away with each song slapping harder and harder. Rest of Perception and The Search is where hair gets real
Master Storyteller
can't wait for u to finish the journey cos it is worth ittt
I know you've probably been properly educated on how it's specifically about fear, but it's awesome to watch reactors that really get this intro, and you got it. Really dig the way you appreciate what makes Mr F so amazing.
Agreed!! ... blows my mind every single time
I wish I could’ve been a fly on the wall during the writing/recording process with NF and Tommee Profit during this song. That must’ve been insane
I was waiting the whole video for the reaction to him hitting his negative shit with the shovel and i wasn’t disappointed 😂 great video mate
YEAHHHH I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
I think this is now my favourite series on yt
Back to back, two of my favorite tracks? Intro III and now Outcast? Outcast is about to give you even more respect for Nate!
I'm not sure there can EVER be a video for this ... cuz, it's all in the mind 🔥❤
LOVE the reaction.....little surprised you didn't get the fear part as who he was talking with, but you still had the idea.....LOVINg the journey #nfrealmusic
This was a fantastic reaction dude!!! You were right on with it all! And seeing how it’s impacting you, I can’t wait to see more!!! Crazy that he’s got a LOT more 🔥 content waitin for you!!!!
It's NF's fear talking to NF until the end when NF takes control and tries to bury his fear. Break it down to really understand it.
FEAR: "What, are you scared of me? That's embarrassing
If it wasn't for me, you would've never wrote Therapy - (therapy session album)
I've been here for you, but how come you're never there for me?
It's a little bit twisted, but I miss when you and I had scary dreams"
NF: "I don't really wanna talk about it"
FEAR: "Well, that's too bad now, Nate, shut up!
Now where were we?
Way back in the day when
You and I had it all mapped out in the basement
Cryin' in your room like a baby
"I wish mom was here"
We all do so we wouldn't have to hear about it
Every single record you don't really wanna change me
Yeah, I'm the one that made this happen
Do you really wanna get rid of your main attraction?
Let's pack our bags and go back to Gladwin now
Yeah, it's time for the third record
And you know I got the content
I don't wanna make you nervous
But it ain't like it used to be
We got a lotta people watchin'
You told me that you don't want me in your life, that's pretty hard to digest
And I told you I'd leave when we die
And we ain't died yet
Therapy Session was beautiful, Nate, but I'm wonderin' what's comin' next
Yeah, get that stupid hat off of your head when I'm talkin' to you, you hear what I said?
You don't like the prison I built you?
Yeah, you wanna know what the funny thing is?
You keep on talkin' to me like a stranger, but we've been together since you were a kid
Took us from a no-name
Told you everything was okay
Now you tryna cut me out of it like I ain't never been a part of it
I am the heart of it, I made this whole thing
Yeah, I put us on the dope stage
You must have no brain
What's the point of having guns if you can't aim?
What's the point of having blood with no veins?
What's the point of having love with no pain?
What I'm sayin' is, me without you doesn't make any sense
I know I'm intense and controlling, but you need to learn how to cope with it
That's just the way that it is
If you didn't want me to live in your house, you shouldn't have let me move in
It's comfortable in here and I like it, I got my own room and everything
It don't get better than this!
You say you wanna own your life, then wake up and take your own advice
You just mad 'cause you know I'm right
Yeah, I'm flattered you put me in Mansion, but you should've told 'em right
'Bout your hands on the coldest nights
You didn't tell 'em 'bout the times you and I used to hold the mic
I mean, what are you, outta your mind?
'Cause both of us will be
NF: "Come on, let's go outside!"
FEAR: "Is this what you wanted?
Both of us out in the open? Let's do it then
I mean, why are you doin' this?
I know that you're mad, but I'm not in the mood for this
We got a record to drop
So why you actin' like I'm not a part of it?
"
NF: "Hey where is my shovel at?"
FEAR: "Prolly out back where it always is
You can't get rid of all of me
I'm the reason why...
"
NF: "Nah, shut up, I don't wanna hear another sentence"
FEAR: "Hey, I'm NF
Is it me or the fear talkin'?
Ha, What a dumb question
Yeah, it's real music 'til the day we die, right?
Ain't that the slogan, Nathan?
"
NF: "Thought I told you to keep your mouth shut"
FEAR: "I mean, so what? You know I never listen
Let me guess
We gon' dig a hole, kill the track, and prolly put a beat in it
Rap about it for like three minutes
Ayy, that's pretty deep, isn't it?
Wait a minute, you don't really think for a second that you're puttin' me in this?
"
NF: "No, of course not, just a lil' deeper then we'll go inside and we can stop diggin'"
FEAR: "Woo!
You had me scared for a second, I thought we were diggin' my grave"
NF: "We did, what, you don't like bein' afraid?
It's a dose of your own medicine
What, you don't like how it tastes?
My therapist told me don't bury my issues, but I'ma be honest, man, I'm feelin' great!
I think it's only right we go back to where you were created
I wrote a song for Johnny without you, but he ain't gon' like it, let's see how he takes it
He prolly don't even remember us, does he?
I wish I was burying anger, but both of us know I'ma need him for that song
He still lives in the basement
Almost done, shoulda done this a year ago
I don't know why I waited
You know how I get it, I put everything off of my personal life, you hear what I'm sayin'?
That was a joke
Yeah, it's hilarious, ain't it?
You'll spend the rest of your life in my backyard or back of my mind, depends how you see it
Put the shovel away, time to go back in the house now, you'll be out in a week
Tellin' me you want your room back, that's funny, what, you ain't got nowhere to sleep?
I'ma just look out the window and laugh at you, this is crazy to me
'Cause I thought you had me in prison this whole time, but I'm the one holdin' the keys"
In Mansion, NF said "You used to put me in the corner, so you could see the fear in my eyes
. Then took me downstairs and beat me till I screamed and I cried" and in this song he says "I think it's only right we go back to where you were created. I wrote a song for Johnny without you, but he ain't gon' like it, let's see how he takes it." Johnny was his moms boyfriend who abused him and where fear became a big part of NF. He then says "I wish I was burying anger, but both of us know I'ma need him for that song" basically meaning he isn't afraid of his abuser anymore, just angry. There's still more I could break down but hopefully that much helps anyone who is confused.
if you pay attention in intro 2 he is digging a grave for fear also a little easter egg
You had an interesting take, and I could see how you would go to pain. His fear is a derivative of all of the abuse and emotional trauma that he experienced so in a way it is, but at this point he is still trying to process the base layer which is specifically the fear and anxieties. The lyrics are a conversation between fear and himself that slowly switches the dominant personality culminating in fear being buried. At least that is how I took it.
It's NF saying submit or die to his fear.
You never say until we die, unless you're willing to be bodied today.
Great video my favorite NF song right here you broke the bars down really well too
Love this reaction. Best yet! Just found your journey yesterday and I’ve been on the binge. I have no idea why people keep telling you to not pause so much - if they want to listen to the track without it… go listen to the track. I know I’m talking to the past so I’ll stop. That being said - I dig your pauses and lyric breakdowns.
Man u'll love Outcasst, it is quite cool the whole song! Hope to see that reaction soon
Part of the mastery with this song is that there is no video. NF is able to draw the image in our minds with just the lyrics.
I loved this reaction! Omg exactly the reaction I had 🤣🤣🤣 great job! ❤️❤️👍👍🇨🇦
I love how fast you caught on 😁👏🏼💯 He was referencing Mansion and not everyone who hears it the first time connects the dots.
Its a conversation between him and fear. Here's the lyrics and different parts.
FEAR:
What, are you scared of me? That's embarassin'
If it wasn't for me, you would've never wrote Therapy
I've been here for you, but how come you're never there for me?
It's a little bit twisted, but I miss when you and I had scary dreams
NATE:
I don't really wanna talk about it
FEAR:
Well, that's too bad now, Nate, shut up!
Now where were we?
Way back in the day when
You and I had it all mapped out in the basement
Cryin' in your room like a baby
"I wish mom was here"
We all do-so we wouldn't have to hear about it
Every single record you don't really wanna change me
Yeah, I'm the one that made this happen
Do you really wanna get rid of your main attraction?
Let's pack our bags and go back to Gladwin now
Yeah, it's time for the third record
And you know I got the content
I don't wanna make you nervous
But it ain't like it used to be
We got a lotta people watchin'
You told me that you don't want me in your life,
That's pretty hard to digest
And I told you I'd leave when we die, and we ain't died yet
Therapy Session was beautiful, Nate,
But I'm wonderin' what's comin' next
Yeah, get that stupid hat off of your head when I'm talkin' to you,
You hear what I said?
You don't like the prison I built you?
Yeah, you wanna know what the funny thing is?
You keep on talkin' to me like a stranger,
But we've been together since you were a kid, yeah
Took us from a no-name
Told you everything was okay
Now you tryna cut me out of it like I ain't never been a part of it
I am the heart of it, I made this whole thing
Yeah, I put us on the dope stage
You must have no brain
What's the point of having guns if you can't aim?
What's the point of having blood with no veins?
What's the point of having love with no pain?
What I'm sayin' is me without you doesn't make any sense
I know I'm intense in controlling,
But you need to learn how to cope with it
That's just the way that it is
If you didn't want me to live in your house,
You shouldn't have let me move in
It's comfortable here and I like it,
I got my own room and everything
It don't get better than this!
You say you wanna own your life,
Then wake up and take your own advice
You just mad 'cause you know I'm right
Yeah, I'm flattered you put me in Mansion,
But you should've told 'em right
'Bout your hands on the coldest nights
You didn't tell 'em 'bout the times you and I used to hold the mic
NATE:
I mean, what are you, outta your mind?
FEAR:
'Cause both of us will be, come on, let's go outside!
Is this what you wanted?
Both of us out in the open? Let's do it then
I mean, why are you doin' this?
I know that you're mad, but I'm not in the mood for this
We got a record to drop
So why you actin' like I'm not a part of it?
NATE:
And where is my shovel at?
FEAR:
Prolly all back, where it always is
You can't get rid of all of me
I'm the reason why
NATE:
Nah, shut up, I don't wanna hear another sentence
FEAR:
Hey, I'm NF, "Is it me or the fear talkin'?"
Ha! What a dumb question!
Yeah, it's real music 'til the day we die, right?
Yeah, ain't that the slogan, Nathan?
NATE:
Thought I told you to keep your mouth shut
FEAR:
I mean, so what? You know I never listen
Let me guess
We gon' dig a hole, kill the track, and prolly put a beat in it
Rap about it for like three minutes
Ayy, that's pretty deep, isn't it?
Wait a minute, you don't really think for a second
That you're puttin' me in this?
NATE:
No, of course not, just a lil' deeper
Then we'll go inside and we can stop digging
FEAR:
Woo!
You had me scared for a second, I thought we were diggin' my grave
NATE:
We did, what, you don't like bein' afraid?
It's a dose of your own medicine
What, you don't like how it tastes?
My therapist told me don't bury my issues
But I'ma be honest, man, I'm feelin' great!
I think it's only right we go back to where you were created
I wrote a song for Jonny without you,
But he ain't gon' like it, let's see how he takes it
He probably don't even remember us, does he?
I wish I was buryin' anger,
But both of us know I'ma need him for that song,
Ne still lives in the basement
Almost done, shoulda done this a year ago
I don't know why I waited
You know how I get, I put everything off of my personal life,
You hear what I'm sayin'?
That was a joke
Yeah, it's hilarious, ain't it?
You'll spend the rest of your life in my backyard
Or back of my mind, depends how you see it
Put the shovel away, time to go back in the house now,
You'll be out in a week
Tellin' me you want your room back, that's funny;
What, you ain't got nowhere to sleep?
I'ma just look out the window and laugh at you,
This is crazy to me
'Cause I thought you had me in prison this whole time,
But I'm the one holdin' the keys
He makes that reference to Johnny and he was his moms abusive boyfriend who abused him. Theres a whole lot more of the song and all of nfs songs in general. Especially this song there are so many references to Mansion and therapy session and even songs in perception. You can hear more about Johnny in the song called "Nate" on the search.
Every NF fan was rooting for you to connect Fear as the personified second person in the song. Dope reaction. Was here for all of it!
One of the best reactions to this song ive seen
Change is my favourite track from NF. It is truly inspirational on another level. 💖🙏
I have been WAITING for you to listen to this one. This is hands down my favorite NF song and I knew you would love it I'm so glad you finally got to it!!
Man, you missed the part where he said that's fear talking and you forgot the ending of outro cause he said he was goin to burry his fear
hahaha this is taking the cake. Intro III is too unique
“Is it me or the fear talking, what a dumb question”! Fear! Bruh I love the reaction keep up the good work!
You are very close bro, it was FEAR the whole time. And Johnny is referring to his mom’s boyfriend who abused him. Now you get to do OUTCAST…I’m real excited now.
Thank you for correcting me and helping me understand! Super excited to hear whats next!
I wasn’t sure if you caught it or not, but the part where he asked “WHERE IS MY SHOVEL AT?” and then the reply of “ITS PROBABLY OUT BACK WHERE IT ALWAYS IS” is a nod back to INTRO 2. At the end of the video he was digging a hole. Go check it out. And the end of this song where he’s left holding the keys leads straight into OUTCAST. NF is sooooo good bro, I’m glad your here
@@DevLethal OUTCAST is gonna leave you speechless!!!
You're now an official fan. Because we all have wanted a video to this song! LOL
I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS... YOU ARE ACTING JUST LIKE MR WHEN I FINALLY FOUND NF WHEN I WAS GOING THROUGH TOUGH TIMES
On 👉 today!! 😆. Stay blessed bro! Nfrealmusic!
Keep this content up my dude, these vids are straight fire! 🔥
This one is beyond a song, is art!
It's like a movie man! You can see him talking to fear. Reminds me of Lecrae Indwelling Sin. Like ya can just see it the picture.
Lol 2 mins in when he said “I got chills” all I could think was mannnn just waitin haha
Already in Intro II NF had a shovel, remember? The man thinks 2 albums ahead!
Amazing song how he talks himself no doubt masterpiece of nf
I love your initial observations I know peeps already told you he's talking to fear but at first I thought current him and old him were talking 😂
Also “what are you out of your mind? Cause both of us will be, come on, let’s go outside.” Nates out of his mind because he’s talking to fear as if it’s human. He’s literally insane. Fear is out of the actual mansion (mind) because Nate is acknowledging it.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great observations throughout the entire video! Keep the keys in mind as you continue the journey!
Masterpiece is right! But everything Nate does is masterful. He’s such an impactful artist and should be much more well known. Love him so much!
I BEEN WAITIN FOR THIS ONE
Bro you got mad skills so I had to subscribe! Mad respect! Deciphered FEAR pretty much. My favorite album is THE SEARCH . Can’t wait for that reaction!
It’s fear! This one is soooo good, one of my favs from him!
One of the best reactor's out on you tube, great job!!!!
This was my all time favourite always listened to it
Can't wait for you to do Outcast! It's one of my personal top 3 NF songs.
It’s fear homie….amazing how he plays with words
Fire video man been looking for some to do this track. The one started me on this journey and man it was so good!!!
cool thing is is that at one of his concerts he brought the shovel on stage with him
it was amazing
It took me 3 times of listening to it to get that he was talking to fear... Go back and listen again KNOWING!! It will blow your mind! CHILLS!!!! Johnny was his mom's boyfriend, the one who apparently would take him to the basement and beat him till he screamed and cried... MANSION
Remember the video where Nate is holding the keys at the very end?
Can't wait till you get to the search album, I finally listened to all of the songs and it's insane
He raps to himself. His trauma he can't leave behind.
Franchement, t'as eu une super réaction 😂🔥✌️
Oh shit I don't know how I missed this reaction, this is the one I've been waiting for since the beginning. I remember the first time I was telling you about the song look at the exact words I used as well. The song is nothing under a masterpiece.
He's talking about his ocd and mental disorders that make him feel like the good him and bad him are to totally disconnected
Two different People
Hed like to bury his ocd and panic disorder but its made him everything he is.
There nate
And nf
Nate is little nf back in the day
"I wish mom was here, we all do do we wouldn't have to hear about it "
Abandonment issues that in turn creates ocd, if you feel as if things are out of control you control every last thing you can its human nature.
"We got a lot of people watching"
"I told you id leave when we die and I ain't died yet"
Its him vs. Him
Thays what the songs about, his mental prison has inspired others but he still can't seem to inspire himself, he's still not happy because it's an internal battle between him and un healed or unhealable him
Am I the only one that laughs at some of these? They're brilliant 👏 👌
It’s weird being this early😂😎
ur reactions are fireee!!! 😭
it is his fear, not all of his issues. listen to the 3rd verse in mansion again, it will make more sense. There is a NF fan music video, it helps make more sense
No I still love your observations after the whole video that's awesome
he's talking about the fear
Johnny was his his step dad who abused him. in mansion if you remember he said
"You used to put me in the corner, so you could see the fear in my eyes
Then took me downstairs and beat me 'til I screamed and I cried
"
he was talking about his step dad johnny
.....onto Outcast......Iconic in NF lore....Outcast one of my top 5
Fear ... he burried his fear
Highly recommend Nate.
Uncomfortable and heartbreaking. But deep and lyrically perfect., like always
That actual song called Nate. To clarify :)
I have been watching you for awhile man. I've been patently waiting for you to get to this Album and react to Remember This. Set aside a good 20 to 30m of video time for that one too
U on point bro💯💯🎯
get some popcorn or something ...
me: pause... 🏃♀️ 🍿
On point!
Yeah, it’s about Fear. He’s speaking to her basicly. But it’s🔥🔥
I’ve been WAITING
15:00 Me tooooooooo
Let's start a petition 🤣
I really wish he did a video for this. I envisioned it as two NFs, one as NF and one as Fear and they go at it the entire video. Pretty much jus play out the lyrics. 😁😁 it would’ve been great Ik it 😄 N at one point n the video (when the beat drops) “Fear” grabs the camera/NF and raps the line about killing a track n putting a beat in it.
This is what I think about every time I listen to this song 😄😄
“Wohhhhhhh I got chills” welcome to NF
3:38 “this is toxic”
I’ve called this one of the most toxic songs I’ve ever heard 😅
He was on Something different this album
I’m hanging in to hear Let You Down - I think you’ll love it.
That song is overrated im ngl to u. He has plenty of better songs
❤🎉❤
