NF -Therapy Session (Lyrics+Video)

[verse 1]
Yeah, I got off stage like a month ago
I was talking to fans
And one of 'em pulled me aside and said
"We never met, but I swear that you know who I am
I've 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 slittin' they wrists on the daily
This music is more than you think
Don't book me for just entertainment, it's entertainin'
Hearin' 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 on 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 knew my problems would prolly catch up eventually
I do my best to be calm
How you gon' write me and tell me you'd slaughter my family?
That's just a glimpse to the stuff that gets sent to me
These are the parts of my life they don't never see, woo!
I am aware, it's aggressive
I am not here for acceptance
I don't know what you expected
But what you expect when you walk in a therapy session, huh?
[chorus]
Therapy, therapy session
Therapy, therapy session
[verse 2]
This girl at the show looked me in the face
And told me her life's full of drama (yeah!)
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 hittin' her harder, that's real
These kids, they come to my shows
With tears in they eyes
'magine someone looking at you
And sayin' 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 (nah!)
You see me walk on these stages
But have no idea what I'm dealing with after it, nah!
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 tryin' to deal with depression
I'm tryin' to deal with the pressure
How you gon' tell me my music does not have a message
When I'm lookin' out at this crowd full of people I know I affected? Agh!
I got some things in my life (my life)
I know I should let 'em go (let 'em go)
Let me jot it down (jot it down)
Let me take a mental note (mental note)
I put it all in this microphone (microphone)
Think about that for a minute
What is the point of this song? I'm just ventin'
But what you expect from a therapy session, huh?
[chorus]
Therapy, therapy session
Therapy, therapy session
[verse 3]
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 lyin'
People go off on my page, and I'm tryin' to quit the replyin'
But this is ridiculous
I'm passionate, man, I really mean what I'm writing
You want me to keep it a hundred?
Okay, I'll keep it a hundred
I see a whole lot of talkin' 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 of your music is moody and dark, nate"
-don't get me started (yeah!)
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, nah!
I won't reject it
I don't expect everyone to respect it
I don't expect you to get my perspective
But what you expect from a therapy session?
Huh?
[outro]
I mean, I think sometimes people-they confuse what I'm doin'
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 "Nf real music" thing, man
This is real for me-I need this
This is a therapy for me

[@kaylacrepeau6611]

Nate, you are saving others, including me. Your music is important.

[@blessedbrah]

u needa listen remember this and oh lor, you´ll like it

[@chazhorselooking2477]

I know how NF feels. I’m a teacher I hear a lot of stories of how gaurdians and parents mistreat their kids. Some kids want me to be their parent and it breaks my heart. I need a therapy session

[@the_user_mac9189]

He saved my life give me A chance adhd and dixlexic from the 90s give us a chance

[@simonsmart3391]

I would take a therapy session if I thought it would help, and pay massive amounts of money, or a could listen to NF instead.

[@Beautyanthebeads]

Teach kids we endanger ourselves if we endanger bees

[@MRawr-px7ff]

Please teach these kids to advocate for themselves and their needs against the adults that ignore them in the system

[@nataliemcmunigal3960]

The fact I ain’t religious in the slightest & I love NF wholeheartedly tells me that this ain’t just religion based…it’s so much more. He speak to me on a whole nother level. We all need therapy from time to time and that’s just life xx

[@jarrettthompson5510]

Not sure it’s religious-based, but his music definitely seems to come from his life experiences

[@shawna5568]

God bless yall 🙏 ❤

[@Muffin_gamer]

Nate is one of the few people who has decided to leave the system to understand young people, he is saving lives and he doesn't realize it.

[@duck9514]

[@RachelleGarcia-o6l]

​@@duck9514This is therapy and I can tell you from years of experience with therapy it does not help.

[@yannah159]

[@justinhamlet828]

Nf.. you literally saved my life i lost my dad earlier in the year and when i couldnt feel anything i could feel your music much love homie

[@1cocoasky]

My foster then adoptive children shared your music with me. It helped them deal with drug addict parents. I think your music is great and needed with all the broken homes and children who grew up in homes of neglect and abuse and even just teens going through those years into their twenties trying to figure themselves and the world out. ❤

[@blessedbrah]

It makes me so happy that nf's music has helped you and your family, nate is a person that leaves his soul in his music

[@Tameay]

My son and I have been listening to NF for many years. It's therapy for both of us. Warm greetings from Germany. ❤

[@RobDaDon_]

I hadn't heard this song till it just popped on and I knew half-way through that it's gonna half to bump on the speakers for the next month. Struggling w a tough BPD episode that I can't manage to shake so I needed this.

[@blessedbrah]

i really understand u, i recommend u pray so hard and also u can talk to me on my ig @blessedbrah

[@lillukka900]

NF, you are a master of lyrics and interpretation of emotions. Music really saves people. I hope you know how important work you do through your art. You have a unique gift, Thank you 🫶

[@tesskennedy4959]

I was a small child roughly 60 years ago, but I remember that I wondered what was going on in my house… I knew find real truth was my only way. That a massively important part of my pure respect for Nate. Keeping it real. Nate you should never feel you need to qualify that as that you the authentic person you are xxx

[@MASTERofCTHULHUx]

My dad told me yesterday that he hasn’t cared or loved me since I was ten years old. This is where I came.

[@schizopathwrath]

This came out after a time I needed it. Now that it exists I hope that it has helped people like it has helped me.

[@anonnona9448]

The day I stop listening to you bub, is the day you stop using music as your therapy. Can't describe the kind of lows in my life, your music has pulled me through. Others artists of course, but you dawg.. have probably saved my life. But I'm baked, and rambling. Your dope, and a hero to some. I'm out to jam that new runnin you just dropped 🤌🤌

[@blessedbrah]

nf music is a constantly therapy session

[@tesskennedy4959]

It’s therapy for me to. I’m a therapist myself. 25yrs. It’s a long way.

[@courtneymarusich1720]

I understand exactly what you are saying. I love how honest and open about everything you are. I have listened to you for many years and you remain to be you, rare to find that in someone. I enjoy your music, you have an amazing gift and when I listen to you I think about how extremely intelligent you are, a lot of people overlook that. I respect you for many reasons. Everything about you sets you apart from the rest. Thank you for being you.

[@blessedbrah]

[@annaneely6832]

I’m so glad I discovered your music today … I know , don’t come for me comments .. I lost love for music a long time ago . But this .. this music … is real , raw , and just what I needed .

[@pumpkinbread_2894]

I couldn’t count how many times I almost called it quits. Music like this and a few other people that I follow are the reason I’m still breathing. Corpse husband is one of them. I wish I could tell them all in person how fantastic they are.

[@kodlak6981]

Nate don’t stop music when your 40 keep producing the best best music their is

[@riah4715]

I love that he promotes all types of mental health issues, and that it's not custom tailored to one issue, a single song encompasses so much.

[@blessedbrah]

you are understanding all, pray for me and everybody in in this channel please, god loves u bless

[@ReddDimensional]

@@blessedbrah I will!! Thank you!!

[@nicholedoten6506]

Amen 🙏 I was in therapy thru various agencies of Mental health, and met with many counselors, therapists, and Psychiatrist for 24 years. I've undergone more healing and transformation when I quit putting my trust in people and false securities of money and things that my Lord and Savior created. I WAS entrusting in resources and people instead of the Provider, healer, Vindicator, All Knowing, All Powerful Ultimate Authority, Jesus Christ. Once I developed a greater relationship for my own healing and journey in and thru my personal Faith , faithfully reading Scripture, I experienced a bountiful Abundance of peace beyond All understanding. I was lost and searching for relief from my suffering from within things of this world, but when I decided turning to Christ instead, delighting myself in the Lord, building my relationship with Him, seeking wisdom and direction from my Almighty Father, I began to experience a better more quality life filled with peace. What good is it to gain the whole world and lose your soul? Life may be thought unfair from injustices oppositions and haters but that doesn't mean I have to give into cultural ways and get bitter resentful and be greedy nor materialistic and selfish hoarding controlling manipulative I Choose to be who the Bible says I am, and believe the promises written in it, and gain my hope from my spiritual higher power, Jesus Christ, who IS Fair. Christ's promises give me hope and renewal of mind helped as I invested in Good; GoodNews,, good nourishing uplifting supportive healthy conversations with others of good intentions and like minds. I am thankful for therapy, however, my true identity was found thru my persistent faith relationship with my higher power who saved me from Excruciating Trauma and Suicide. I've learned through gaining Wisdom I have a choice to " respond ", with and in, understanding patience acceptance kindness awareness good motives and good intentions Or Not I could choose Alternatively to " 😠" REACT in some PASSIVE AGRESSIVE POWER DOMINATING, CONFLICT magnetic manner due to limited thinking and lack of clarity and lack of Truth lack of care lack of understanding The freedom of choices and liberty of free will With understanding there was and always is a freedom at someone's cost and expense JesusChrist sufferings for my life and for all people's liberties of all so we may live an Abundant life in peace not only to rest in the peace of after life of Eternal but peace while we are alive I would like to thank the Almighty Father for relief from the suffering and hopelessness I felt Anytime I turn to Him in prayer, givingThanksgiving, i present my request to Him, and then I invest in Faith rather than worry. Thanks be to the mercy, grace, and healing of Jesus Christ. ❤

[@amfr_wolf4477]

fck i never commented on nate song even if i listen him for years its always describe how i feel everytime with perfection thanks for showing things that i have struggle to say or at least try hide inside of me its make me fell a litlle like a human being

[@patriciadixon8222]

Can’t already if been a year since this came out 😮 still on the daily after work for that health check

[@tesskennedy4959]

I have finally concluded I love you Nate. That’s weird from me, perhaps the anonymity of KZbin is playing into this. Peace man. x

[@Sammy360-s]

NF is the best real music for life💯🤘

[@TheBananaman491]

honestly theres a few songs people think are really depressing to listen too that i love but there are also some that i find hard to listen too this is one of them and another is "Explaining my depression to my mother // By Sabrina Benaim // Audio // Spoken Poetry" that ones very raw and you will feel pain listening to it. i dont cry often as i gave up on tears a long time ago but there are a few times i have cried and that video always brings a tear to my eye and choke up the other times i cry is when i have a mental breakdown and listen to "depressing" songs to feel like theres people out there the same as me and one of them songs i have managed to release my emotions while having a breakdown was "dark enough" sometimes you just need a cry and sometimes a song can be what you need to help push you over the edge without going into suicide attempts listen to the music and know that its not just you suffering and get comfort from knowing that others know your pain and can understand you. songs that i can listen too a lot though are songs like "Dark Enough (Original Song) Amanda Lopiccolo" "Her Last Words- Courtney Parker" and "She's An Actor - Austin Giorgio".

43 years of life. And that's all I've experienced stress. Is it really too much to ask for when you want someone to true love? Not the wrong people I think the wrong person for 25 years now. And hes trying to really mess me up more. Soul from the things I had to grow up with. But I guess at least he likes her family. I had to cut my out

I love tell the day that I die No matter what is done an said I never break been in a world I will allways remember . I'm not close to being s hero im not even been I say someone to look up to but my love for you all never ends . Places ive been along the lines an telephone poles traffic lights a country stores . There was a darkness a drug so strong making me out to be someone I wasn't Life gets tough in a world all alone covered by tracks that lay out front of are home . Loosen steady in an out of my mind .over looking The trapt. Down comes the base out pours the rain graffiti posted up along the way . Love as I see it covers an never surrenders. My love for ya. I'm not in this world with only one moon all alone an neither are you.
