NF - Understand Me Lyrics






It's obvious that they don't understand me
It's obvious that they don't see what I see
Yeah, they used to tell me I was crazy
Now they listen to me like, "Whoa, maybe"

Yeah, this is more than a dream, this is more than a passion
Don't ignore what you see—this is more than just rappin'
Here's a picture of me
Take a minute, now let's go backwards
To a time and a place when people thought that this would never happen
Sittin' in the back of the bus
Rappin' it up: my emotion
Ain't nobody really got a clue what I wanna do, and I'm like: my devotion
Don't go nowhere unless I got my CD player with me
Everybody lookin' at me like I'm nuts
"He ain't serious is he?"
Became a pain relief, called it my intervention
Little way to release my tension
Oh yeah, and did I mention?
Too all them kids that told me, "Nate, you just so overrated"
I took them haters and made them into my motivation

It's obvious that they don't understand me
It's obvious that they don't see what I see
Yeah, they used to tell me I was crazy
Now they listen to me like, "Whoa, maybe"

I got lost in the movement, I got lost in the beats
Don't just talk to the music—music's talkin' to me
Don't make it hard, see, it really ain't that complicated
But people complicate it, let me clear the complication
Some said the music's fly
Some told me I was basic
Some say shoot for the sky
Some said, "You'll never make it"
Don't know what's in this mind, don't know my situation
Put my life in these lines, put my pain in these pages
Age twelve, walkin' around with a dream that no one knows
Ain't nobody else in my zone, just me and these headphones
Some people crack their jokes
Some people laughed at me
But in the end, he turned them dreams into reality

It's obvious that they don't understand me
It's obvious that they don't see what I see
Yeah, they used to tell me I was crazy
Now they listen to me like, "Whoa, maybe"
It's obvious that they don't understand me
It's obvious that they don't see what I see
Yeah, they used to tell me I was crazy
Now they listen to me like, "Whoa, maybe"
It's obvious that they don't understand me
It's obvious that they don't see what I see
Yeah, they used to tell me I was crazy
Now they listen to me like, "Whoa, maybe"
It's obvious that they don't understand me
It's obvious that they don't see what I see
Yeah, they used to tell me I was crazy
Now they listen to me like, "Whoa, maybe"

Yeah, a lot of people don't understand
A lot of people don't know
I been doing music since I was twelve, man
It's been a dream, it's been a passion for so long
And like I said, it's way more than that now
It's way more than just something I wanna be
This ain't about me just wantin' to be famous
Me about wantin' to make money
It's like, part of my life now, you know?
Yeah, let's go

  43. J.... S....

    I love this song. I have a dream and a passion to entertain people and make a difference in this world. He said his dream was since he was 12 and that's the same for me. I found my true passion at 12 and now I know nothing will stop me. YouTube isn't impossible and I will make a difference and be successful...

    🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘💞

  45. C.... H....

    godbless you all and god hears all his people who struggle

    C.... H....

    does he see me? (doubt it)

    C.... H....

    Matt Maynard Yes he does, ask him into your life and then ask him..People can only find something if they are looking for it right?

    C.... H....

    Allot of people don't realize that some of the first songs nf wrote was Christian songs, and he has said in several interviews he believes in God

  46. J.... R....

    This song reminds me of myself and is absolutely amazing. NF always has a reason for every one of his songs.

  47. d.... s....

    I can't find this song anywhere on iTunes

    d.... s....

    it is not on itunes. it is from his ep I'm Free

  48. D.... A....

    and none of my family believe me they just say it's all in my head and I can see thing and I'll be like mom look do u see that she will say no but I believe in Jesus and one night I had to go in the dark with no light cause they where it off and I could not see I had to get clothes for me and my brother for school and I ask God over and over to protect me ND nothing happened so I know he with me but let me tell u that is not why all happened on the past 5 years

    D.... A....

    Dezirae Alixis16 I feel ya man. same here

    D.... A....

    Dezirae Alixis16 so.. every time I've gone into a dark place without praying gods secretly had my back to keep me safe?... cool

  49. D.... A....

    I love this song nf because when I was 9 yrs old I got held down by something that wasn't even there and it done it 3 times 1 it held me down and let me see him and it was a man then it held me again but it was laughing in my ear and saying something it was so deep I could hardly understand it and the last time it gave me a dream with my cousin in it and my brother I was going to my room and there was a basket full with water and it was in my closet and my brother was behind me and when I look in my closet I told my brother to run he said why I said NOW and he did then I did and I fell in the kitchen and my cousin was right in front of me in a chair with his elbow on his knee and my hand reaching to him and he didn't help then I crawled to my dads bedroom and my step-mom and they where saying what's wrong what's wrong answer me and all I would do is point my finger shaking it and all I could see was something black and then when I woke up it felt like I just got out of 4 fur cover and I was sweating like seriously just coming from the sides of my face and hair and I'm 12 now about to turn 13 in march

    D.... A....

    Dezirae Alixis16. my daughter had a dream about a dark man in a black suit and was coming to take her brother she told the man she would go instead , she told me and her mother about the dream , she was hit by a car two weeks later , remember this nothern has the right to hold you down or enter your body unless u allow it , if it tries again ask for JESUS

    D.... A....

    I'm sorry about your daughter and I did get held down and I asked Jesus and I had to go down they at 12:23 by my self and I kept saying Jesus over and over cause I was scared and nothing happened but I felt so weird like someone was watching me

    D.... A....

    Dezirae Alixis16 you need to study the bible hard and repent for any sins you commit regularly. If you submit to God and do his will the demons will fear you. especially if you actively spread the gospel.

  50. B.... ....

    He's really changed, here he sounds just like Eminem, now he sounds like NF

    B.... ....

    Like who? 😉

    B.... ....

    “ they want a shady number two, that aint what its about “

  52. C.... W....
