This guy , he fades away , comes back and kills shit like he owns the place and I can’t even be mad at him.

every rapper: "you cant make a rap without swear words in it" NF: "hold my balloons"

No flashy cars, no girls, just poetic art and music. Real Respect 🔥🔥. Thanks NF

Things I love about NF and his rap: No naked women No cursing No drugs No degrading others 100% true talent, NF made me actually like rap and I’m not against swearing but NF is proof you don’t need to curse to make good rap music

"Went from nobody to kinda famous" boy you are about to be hella famous..

I just discovered NF. My life is better now

This whole album changed my life. Homeless, no food, no money, sleeping on park benches and laundry mat bathrooms.....it was a fight everyday to keep going. To keep fighting. Trying to find reasons why i should continue when it was clear i shouldn't. "Living" in a town where i knew no one. No one spoke any English. Hard times i wish never to return too. Years later i thank NF for saving my life....because this album was on repeat everyday for the 14 months i fought to get my life back. So thank you NF. You don't really know the effect you have on people. 🙏

I'm a mental health provider and added your music to the adolescent unit of a psych ward about 5 years ago. So incredibly relatable and motivating not just for the youth, but anyone who feels this music. Thank you for the ongoing depth Nate. Been a fan for years and have shared you with everyone I know. So happy it's making it to radio in this area now ❤❤

´´Hate to be different but hate to be normal´´ that hit me hard the Talent is blazing wwoow

Mumble rappers: “were taking over” Nf: “hold my balloons”

This man can curse someone out without even cursing

no swearing, no drugs, no naked women, just 100% real talent.

i’ve never heard someone sing about OCD seriously ... those few verses mean so much to me . (0:54)

Notice how the fans get more involved and the number of fans grow every song

LYRICS Hey! Leave me alone (Leave me alone) Painic-stricken, handle business, not a joke, yeah Manners missin', travel different, no control, yeah Time to listen, time to zip it, keep it closed My description, highly gifted, take some notes, yeah Lack of interest, why'd you visit? Hit the road, yeah I'm kinda twisted, so keep your distance, be a ghost Yeah, see I'm inventive, but quite the menace, you ain't know? Well then I'm offended, let's jog your memories, here we go, yeah I went from nobody to kinda famous Hide my plaques inside the closet, I just can't explain it My wife, she tells me that she's proud and thinks that I should hang 'em But I just leave 'em on the ground right next to my self-hatred Yeah, yeah, mental health, where's my mental health? Diagnosed with OCD, what does that mean? Well, gather 'round That means I obsessively obsess on things I think about That means I might take a normal thought and think it's so profound (Leave me alone) Ruminating, filled balloons full of doubts Do the same things, if I don't, I'm overwhelmed (Leave me alone) Thoughts are pacing, they go 'round and 'round and 'round It's so draining, let's move onto something else, fine (Leave me alone) I'm in the game, but they don't even know it Like I'm undercover and don't want to blow it I come out of nowhere, they don't even notice The flow is so cold, you would think it was snowing (Leave me alone) I'm under the weather, but wind isn't blowin' I got an umbrella for difficult moments You got to admit it, I'm very devoted I'm out in the ring, but they don't always help me, so I... Hold up my balloons and cover up my face I can feel them weighing on me every day I should let 'em go and watch 'em float away But I'm scared if I do, then I'll be more afraid (More afriad) Tell them how I feel, but they don't want to change (They don't wanna change) Tell them how I feel, but they remain the same Loosen up my grip, they say that's not okay Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, ayy, leave me alone! Ayy, yeah Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, ayy (Yeah), leave me alone! Woo, yeah Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, ayy (Yeah), leave me alone! I hate when they debate if we're underrated We're so overlooked that they're looking over our numbers, Nathan (Leave me alone) We don't do enough interviews or go out in public lately We don't post enough on our socials To keep the buzz from fading (Leave me alone) Let it fade, yeah, let it fade Once it's decimated, then you drop a song out of nowhere And all the fans embrace it (Leave me alone) Then the buzz will surface again, it's part of my operation I don't need advice from my doubts right now End of conversation (Leave me alone) Shut your mouth, yeah, shut your mouth Better tone it down, close it now If you make a sound, I'ma change your dial (Leave me alone) Funny how they be acting loud, comin' on it now It's floating 'round Man, the kid is wild, pretty wild, true (Leave me alone) I'm kinda phony but don't really show it I keep it together, but have a disorder I go to my room and I sit in my corner And talk to myself in a language that's foreign (Leave me alone) I think of a rhyme and I have to record it But know if I don't, I'll wake up in the morning And question my life again, always avoiding I hate to be different, but hate to be normal, so I... (Leave me alone) Hold up my balloons and cover up my face I can feel them weighing on me every day I should let 'em go and watch 'em float away But I'm scared if I do, then I'll be more afraid Tell them how I feel, but they don't want to change Tell them how I feel, but they remain the same Loosen up my grip, they say that's not okay Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, ayy, leave me alone! Ayy, yeah Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, ayy (Yeah), leave me alone! Woo, yeah Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, ayy (Yeah), leave me alone! Remember back in "NO NAME, " I said fame called? Told you I hung up, it kinda felt wrong (Wrong, leave me alone) Finally called him back, we didn't talk long He asked me how I'd been, I sent him this song (Wrong, Leave me alone) Yeah, think he took offense, he kinda seemed off I texted him that night to ask what he thought (Leave me alone, wrong) It took a couple days to get a response But once I finally did, he said this song sucks (Leave me alone) Here are the symptoms, couldn't miss 'em, wrestle with 'em Then I penny flip 'em, bounce 'em back up nowhere, you should get some Who you dissin'? Move the switch and don't come in the kitchen You should listen, cookin' records for my hands are blistering So persistent, don't forget this, hold the tension, soul is bending No pretending, open ended, low percentage, so demented (Leave me alone) Whole consensus, flow tremendous, no apprentice, no incentive Show intensive, so possessive, tone aggressive, watch your step when I (Leave me alone) Hold up my balloons and cover up my face (Up my face) I can feel them weighing on me every day (Yeah, every day) I should let 'em go and watch them float away (Yeah, float away) But I'm scared if I do then I'll be more afraid Leave me alone (Yeah), leave me alone (Yeah, yeah, yeah) Leave me alone, leave me alone (Yeah, yeah, yeah) Leave me alone, leave me alone (Yeah, leave me alone) Leave me alone, leave me alone, ayy, leave me alone! Ayy, yeah Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, ayy (Yeah), leave me alone! Woo, yeah Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, ayy (Yeah), leave me alone! Ayy, yeah Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, ayy (Yeah), leave me alone! Woo, yeah Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet, ayy (Leave me alone

He is so underrated. No cussing needed, great beat, relatable, and packs a message. I love NF ❤️

If Nate doesn’t win a Grammy then I don’t even know anymore, he deserves more popularity but some people don’t understand what real is. I’m not saying he have to win a Grammy because nowadays it’s a popularity contest but lots of people are going through issues in their life and NF music can help them with more recognition

bro NF is about to take 15 spots on the trending page he posted so many songs right now

He said : "My Album, My Album, My Album..." This album it just so Amazing. 30 years of RAP thank you NF

everyone says how good his musics but never how he feels. these songs have meaning and passion and pure love. i need these songs. they make me realize im not not alone

"Quiet, quiet, quiet, quiet hey! Leave me alone!" Me: Can that be my ringtone??

after i saw When I Grow Up from my recommendations, I listened to *EVERY* *SINGLE* *ONE* of your songs I saw. ur great, nathan

I absolutely LOVE when he says "holding my balloons cover up my face" the first 2 times he genuinely sounds scared of his own thoughts and the last time, he sounds more angry and almost desperate wanting the thoughts to "leave him alone" and the very end hes trying to take back control of himself. Absolutely BRILLIANT

He is supposed to be one of those who reign in the mainstream. Shocks. Those mumble rappers has no match to this hidden gem

He protec He attac But most importantly he got the shopping cart in the *bacc*

"Fame called said how you doin, Hung up on em ill get back to that when I make album 4" Nate is up here bro

As someone with OCD, I feel him. It’s hell sometimes, and I feel like it’s so grossly misinterpreted in media.

Who's here in April 2024?

The “I hate to be diferent but i hate to be normal”, line, so simple but so complex

NF finally blowing up. Well deserved. Def deserved been underrated for far too long.

he tried not to become one of them but at the end after a lot of tries he gives them his balloons, he gives up his dreams The song reflects this society

I love how he describes OCD and anxiety. I have both and it just is so hard to describe how I feel and NF does it so perfectly

Everyone: you can’t rap without cursing NF: hold my balloons.

NF is the quiet and bullied kid at school who's actually the most talented in everything.

I felt that. This dude is legit.

his a pure guy cuz no cars no girls no flash shoes just him and his raw talent

NF: Releases new album Me: “Well, I’m set for music for the rest of the year.”

Just imagine everyone in one stadium jumping on this song, that's one hell of an earthquake

Love how deep his intuition and emotions explode with so much compassion

I love this song! I listen to it every day!

When he started the fast rap I lost it🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 He’s a beast🙌🏼🙌🏼

Who else is spending their quarantine listening to NF on repeat 😳 Edit: I’m literally spending my time trying to memorise the lyrics from every song in the album.

I don't know how NF does it. He's a genius. ❤

NF da GOAT....👑....he is the definition of talent.❤

Man I was not ready for this. 10/10 NF.

" Then you drop a song out of nowhere and all the fans embrace it" DMAN STRAIGHT!!!

Who still listening to this masterpiece in 2024?

I was born with OCD, or have at least had it since I was pretty young, I love NF's music but this one really speaks to me on a more personal level. Be strong brothers and sisters

NF:Releases WHOLE album UKposts: Trending again Fire Department: Here we go again

bro NF needs 20 Grammys, but Tommee Profitt also needs like 12 for producing so many of these songs. he's such an underrated producer

So many levels to this that gets missed...love it

Coming back to Nate’s music videos legit feels like you’re watching them all for the first time again, one of the best storytellers EVER. Genius!! 💡🖤🗝️

I really love the fact that in NO NAME he said he will call fame in album 4 and now he is acknowledging the fact he is famous

I know everyone is saying NF deserves a grammy, but if you ask me, the grammy *doesn't* deserve NF.

I love this song because it definitely makes me feel better about having ocd

Love that he talks about the gifts of the Holy Spirit when he says “talk to myself is a language that’s foreign “

The fake smile everyone puts for society while inside they thinking *QUIET QUIET QUIET LEAVE ME ALONE*

nf is the type of guy to have 1 fan but still put all of his effort into his songs to let that fan enjoy the songs 3.2k likes thats pretty cool

“I hate to be different but I hate to be normal” I resonate with this statement

Number 1 most underrated artist

NF: *walks into studio* Producer: right i'll get the shopping cart

When he says “let’s move onto something else,” it hits so hard because that’s literally the most difficult task ever with OCD.

This song is just fire🔥🔥🔥So real !

Its been been 5 or less days that i have known this guy , now i can finally say I know a rapper . Insanely good

Producer: How many times do you want the beat to drop? Nf: *yes*

NF is the most underrated rapper.....his bars are very intense but he doesn't cuss.....so amazing

True masterpiece from a pure talent ✨

This world needs a message...a message of pure truth and clearness with no strings attached 🔥🔥🔥

My music teacher asked what our favorite songs were, my friend said an NF song, she said that is not allowed, and didn’t want any of us to listen to him because he’s “dark and depressing.” In my head I was thinking: you are so wrong, we love him because he understands, he speaks out for what’s right, and he is Christian. This is at a Christian school too, but she didn’t care. NF understands, that’s why we like NF, keep up the amazing work Nate!

NF Every song from this album is absolute fire. Love em!

This man is real with soul, talent. Nathan is the real art

the ultimate ocd anthem

Who else stayed up until midnight for the album drop? NF never disappoints. 🔥💯

"i went from a nobody to kinda famous" *Hell yeAh you did*

I need this in My lif3 thanks for existing nf x

This song makes me hyper 😃

There's always so much pain in his lyrics I just want him to be happy

Producer: Want a lambo or Ferrari? NF: Shopping cart should do

Let's go NF you are awesome

NF is such a creative and impactiful artist. You got talent bro.

NF: talk about how his fans can be annoying Everyone: *vibes to the song*

Nf has literally completely master minded rap .

No one even say your character but answer is leave me alone❤❤❤❤

Other rappers:flexes with Lamborghini Nf: flexes with shopping cart intensely

Director :ok what's our budget Producers: shopping cart

This is the old nf

Leave Me Alone 🖤

I swear Nate better win a Grammy this album is absolute fire 🔥🔥🔥🔥 amazing work Nate

4.8 million views in less than two days. NF deserves this :)

No cursing! And stilllll mad flowing!,🔥 Thank you!

it never gets old

*Mom* : “what are you listening to honey?” *Me* : “leave me alone.” *Mom* : *Smacks me upside the head*

Joker: Wanna know how I got these scars? NF: That's cute.

Just found you. I have severe ocd. Been diagnosed for about 7 years now. I stayed home from work today because of it. I’m literally ruminating about a compulsion I performed bc I was triggered. I’m glad I came across you and this video. I cried and it was cathartic. Thank you and GOD bless you ✝️❤️

lengendary

What did we do to deserve a 5min song?aye!! NF Thank You!! Edit: Wow 1.1K likes. Shows NF fans, we wild🔥

Lil nas x: I made the best rap song of 2019 NF: hold my balloons

I usually listen to all rock genres but once I discovered NF, he became my favourite artist. There's not one song I don't like

"I'm in the game & they don't even know it like I'm undercover and don't want to blow it, I come outta no where they don't even notice" 🔥 x 100T

Nf is the most relatable artist of 2019! Dropped multiple bangers this year🔥🔥🔥
