NF - Therapy Session Lyrics






Yeah, I gotta say like a month ago
I was talking to fans
And one of them pulled me aside and said
"We never met but I swear that you know who I am
I been through a lot
I don't know how to express it to people
Don't think that I can but I got that mansion CD on rotation
That's real for me Nate, you do not understand"
It's crazy for me
Kids hit me up, say they slitting they wrists on the daily
This music is more than you think
Don't book me for just entertainment, it's entertaining
Hearing these parents, they telling their kids
My music is violent, you gotta be kidding me
I guess that your definition of violence and mine
Is something that we look at differently
How do you picture me, huh?
Want me to smile, you want me to laugh?
You want me to walk in the stage with a smile on my face
When I'm mad and put on a mask, for real though
I mean, what you expect from me?
I'm tryna do this respectfully
They say that life is a race
I know my problems'll probably catch up eventually
I do my best to be calm
How you gon' write me and tell me you slaughter my family?
That's just a glimpse to the stuff that get sent to me
These are the parts of my life they don't ever see, woo
I am aware it's aggressive
I am not here for acceptance
I don't know what you expect here
But what you expect when you walk in a therapy session, huh?

Therapy, therapy session
Therapy, therapy session

This girl at the show looked me in the face
And told me her life's full of drama
Said her dad is abusive
Apparently he likes to beat on her mama
I got so angry inside
I wanted to tell her to give me his number
But what you gon' do with it right?
You gon' hit him up then he'll start hitting her harder
That's real
These kids, they come to my shows
With tears in they eyes
Imagine someone looking at you
And saying your music's the reason that they are alive
Sometimes, I don't know how to handle it
This type of life isn't glamorous
This ain't an act for the cameras
You see me walk on these stages but have no idea what I'm dealing with after it
I put it all in the open
This is the way that I cope with all my emotion
I'm taking pictures with thousands of people
But honestly, I feel like nobody knows me
I'm trying to deal with depression
I'm trying to deal with the pressure
How you gon' tell me my music does not have a message
When I'm looking out at this crowd full of people I know I affected?
Ah, I got some things in my life, I know I should let 'em go
Let me jot it down, let me take a mental note
I put it all in this microphone, think about that for a minute
What is the point of this song, I'm just venting but what you expect from a therapy session, huh?

Therapy, therapy session
Therapy, therapy session

What you think about me
That doesn't worry me
I know I handle some things immaturely
I know that I need to grow in maturity
I ain't gon' walk on these stages in front of these people
And act like I live my life perfectly
That doesn't work for me
Christian is not the definition of what perfect means, woo
I ain't the type to be quiet
I ain't gon' sit here in silence
If I wouldn't say what I say to your face
Then I promise you I wouldn't say it in private
I am not lying
People go off on my page and I'm trying to quit the replying
But this is ridiculous
I'm passionate man, I really mean what I'm writing
You want me to keep it 100? Okay, I'll keep it 100
I see a whole lot of talking on socials
But honestly, I don't see nothing in public
I kinda love it, yeah
"Why don't you write us some happy raps?
That would be awesome
All your music is moody and dark, Nate"
Don't get me started
You wanna know what it's like if you met me in person?
Listen to my verses
This music is not just for people
Who sit in the pews and pray at the churches
I won't reject it
I don't expect everyone to respect it
I don't expect you to get my perspective
What you expect from a therapy session?

I mean, I think sometimes people they confuse what I'm doing
I write about life, I write about things that I'm actually dealing with
Something that I'm actually experiencing, this is real for me
Like this is something that personally helps me as well
I'm not confused about who gave me the gift
God gave me the gift and he gave me the ability to, to do this
And he also gave me this as an outlet
And that's what music is for me
When I feel something, whether it's anger
Um, it's a passion about something, or frustration
Like this is where I go, this is, this is, that's the whole nfrealmusic thing man
This is real for me, I need this, this is a therapy for me

    You are a knowledgable Christian there are a LOT of "Christians" out there who are like darkness is the devil but this is our punishment and we have to spread the word and go through this punishment we deserve you are a special soul you have a blessing and are using it for good not evil as most "Christians" do. May God bless you and night!

  5. R.... E....

    realmente nose como estar bien mi mama fallecio y no tengo a nadie mas tengo padrastro y nose q aser ni q sera de mi vida estoy sola y lo peor esque concepto de familia no existe

  6. C.... B....

    I never liked rap I listened to heavy metal to help me deal but when I came across nf it opened a door for me he’s talking about stuff everyone else won’t and I respect that he helps my come out of the dark for little while and see that I’m not the only one out there that feels this way and it make me feel part of something bigger than my self I spent years being physically and mentally abused by my mother the one person I had who was supposed to love me now My mind is so abused that it’s more scar tissue than actual tissue and I’ll never be the same but this helps me peer out to realize I’m not alone

    NF I rewrote the end of this song, could you read it n tell me what you think NO DISRESPECT!!!!!

    Weed n music
    I mean, I think sometimes people they confuse what I'm doing
    I think about life, I think about things that I'm actually dealing with
    Something that I'm actually experiencing, this is real for me
    Like this is something that personally helps me as well
    I'm not confused about who gave me the gift
    God gave me the gift and he gave me the strength to keep climbing the ladder of life even when gravity keeps pulling me down, additionally,he gave me weed n music as an outlet And that's what weed n music is for me
    When I feel something, whether it's anger
    Um, it's a passion about something, or frustration
    Like this is what I do, this is, that's the whole face,endure and overcome thing
    This is real for me, I need this, this is a growing process for me

    After reading so many of these comments, it saddens me to see just how many people are struggling with depression, suicide, and just general darkness. Having gone through it myself not long ago, it pains me when others also struggle so hopelessly. I'd love to just throw out some encouragement into this comment section for those in despair who desperately need hope. I don't know your situation. I don't know your life story, and frankly, I never will because this is the internet, but I have learned a lot through my experiences that I can share with you. If I could encourage just one single person through this comment, then it'd be worth it.


    The thing is, depression blinds you to reality. It veils your eyes of the good, the beautiful, and the truth. It lies—telling you that you’ll never make it out of the darkness—that things will always be miserable, and you believe it. You shouldn't. Depression warps your perspective and forces you to focus inwardly, which heightens the pain and despair. If your experience is any similar to what mine was, then you're probably thinking: I am worthless, I am ugly, I am a failure, I am unworthy of love, life is meaningless, nothing matters, and perhaps you've even thought that dying would be better than living. I know the temptation to give up is so hard to resist, because I know you probably don't see any reason to keep trying, to keep living, and to keep fighting. You might wonder: why keep living when in the end, life has no significance? These are all lies of the Devil, trying to steal your joy and your life. After my suicide attempt at sixteen, it took me awhile to get these answers, but once I did, everything changed. For a long time, I dealt with intense self-loathing, and cutting was how I coped because it felt good to punish myself for "being a failure" and to release some of my mental anguish. I was hopeless, and suicide was a daily battle. Praise God it didn't take me because no longer do I struggle in this way. Now, I wake up thankful. Now, I experience joy. Now, I can see beauty in life and in myself. I know for a fact that your joy can be redeemed too. Please, please, please don't give up. People care about you. God cares about you. I care about you because I know you are precious and valuable!


    First, know that you did not just happen by chance and are not a mere accident. You are a beautiful creation, and because of this, you have purpose and tremendous value. More than you could ever know. Your worth does not come from achievements, physical beauty, grades, athleticism, financial security, or anything in this world, but from the fact that you are made in the image of God. You have value from the second you are born, and it is not up to you to "earn" your value. Each one of us is just as precious and valuable as the other, non more and non less from even the most successful of people. You are worthy of love, and you ARE loved.


    Secondly, life is not meaningless. God loves you and created you with a purpose. If life on earth is all there is and if there is no God, then yes, life would be meaningless. We would all just die at some point and be buried in the dirt, forgotten as time passed on. However, I firmly believe that there is more in store after death. God greatly desires a relationship with you so that after death, you might spend eternity with Him. This gives us a reason to live... with the hope that when our work on earth is done, we will spend eternity with the Lord. Living just for oneself is crippling, empty, and has no real significance. Life is so much more than just ourselves. Jesus loves us so much, that he DIED for us. Meaning, we do not have to "earn" our way to heaven because no human being is capable of perfection. Christ paved the way for us, and all we have to do is have faith in this. Jesus paid it all... you are perfect in his sight.


    Third, I want to encourage you that things can get better, but you have to stay hopeful, trying your best to ignore the whispers of suicide. It is not a solution to your pain. For a long time I battled suicidal thoughts, and a few times, I acted upon them. A change in perspective saved my life. God's love saved my life, and His grace for all of the mistakes and wrong things that I've done in my past has changed my life. He can change yours too. He is more powerful and more gracious than any failure and imperfection of yours. He can and will conquer your darkness if you let Him. You don't know me, and I can't make you believe what I believe or change your perspective, but having made it through to the other side of the tunnel, I can tell you how I made it through. God's love provided me with new strength, giving me hope to keep trying. Don't be discouraged if things aren't changing quickly when you try. Keep taking it one step at a time and don't look too far into the future. You have no need to become anxious by looking way in advance. It will only overwhelm you and tempt you to give up. Just take the step forward the you can RIGHT NOW in THIS moment. Consider this analogy: imagine a huge ship sailing across the ocean and the captain falls asleep. He wakes up to see that the boat has gone totally off course, and now he needs to turn the boat totally around, so he puts in all of the controls to do so. However, the boat does not turn immediately. Because it has so much momentum traveling in the wrong direction, the boat takes a long time to turn and get back on track, but eventually it does. Likewise, when you start taking steps and forming habits to get back on track, your life won't change immediately. It will take time, but if you stick the course, it WILL change and you WILL experience joy. I hope knowing this provides you with some hope.


    Please, please, please keep fighting. You are loved! You are worthy of love! You have value! You have purpose! If you run out of strength, it's okay because God has eternal strength. Rest in Him. I know you can conquer this darkness victoriously, for "you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you." -Philippians 4:13

  67. A.... W....

    You thought this was a song.

    Nah this is a story.

  68. J.... S....

    Nates music helps me through tough days so for that I thank you Nate

  69. M.... ....

    inspiration inspiration 🖤

  70. A.... G....

    to be honest i relate to a lot of his music the one i relate to the most how could you leave us im losing my mom she is not gone yet but she choosing drugs over her kids and i want her back but im not getting to her and i want to be there for her but i dont know how someone help me or give me advice

  71. B.... E....

    he sounds like Eminem

  72. F.... b....

    .............

  73. R.... H....

    The thing that I love the most about him as that he isn’t striving to be liked and he genuinely cares about the people who come to him with the tragic stories and I feel like very few people in the music industry genuinely want to help others and I wish that more people could be like him in that way because he helps more people then therapist do and he’s free

  74. C.... F....

    the producer did a really good job on this. when the guy was hitting the mom i felt so bad. i can relate so much to this video love you nate

  75. W.... O....

    I wanna walk right up to NF and ask If I can give him a hug and tell him that even though I don't understand everything he goes through on a daily basis I'm cheering him on every day and will always be there to support.

  76. M.... L....

    I am not here for acceptance
    I don't know what you expect here
    But what you expect when you walk in a therapy session?


    19/1/2020 😴

  77. K.... K....

    People put more commitment on typing these full paragraph comment instead of putting effort on their situation. Lol man

  78. A.... A....

    sigh I wish these people would understand it but I quess they don't get it everyone saying they depressed but they just saying that for attention parents say it's violence but where I quess I don't see it all these people just don't get it I try my best to stay strong but when I do I end up going home slitting my wrists and thinking suicidal but AYY I try my best for you mamma but everything I do is disapionting I quess ima end it here saying all these things got me thinking crazy.

    I tried my best to tap but I'm terrable at rapping but hope you see this I understand what your going through with your mom dieing from drugs and how you get bullies and just yeah I understand I wish I could be someone else my favorite song from you is called why did you leave us it was my favorite wish I could change

  79. J.... R....

    Everytime I listen to this... chills... goosebumps...

  80. T.... F....

    Well can't say NF didn't warn us in the beginning

  81. B.... ....

    Some listen to his music just to hear some rap music. Others (like me) listen to his music to listen to what he has to say, what he’s going through.

  82. D.... M....

    Eminem and NF should do a song together 🔥

  83. K.... ....

    To whoever wrote that "I WILL SLAUGHTER YOUR FAMILY", What is wrong with you bro? you don't like his music just don't listen to it, don't stay here.

    we don't need you here bruh, go and get a life.

  84. g.... m....
