NF - RUNNING (Audio)

From 6 years ago, crying in my room because I related to his lyrics. To 6 years later, crying on how far he’s come and how thankful i am for him to bring me along his journey, whilst im slowly healing too. :)

RUNNING THIS ON REPEAT 🖤🖤

We are all collectively healing

I love how this applies to both, someone else in your life but also yourself, the voices in your head.

I wasn’t expecting it, but this is by-far my favourite on the album

NF is finally becoming the man he wants to be. No longer is he letting “pride” be in charge of his life. This is one of the most powerful songs I’ve ever heard from him and I cannot wait to see him perform it in person

"RUNNING" by NF: [Verse 1] I'm tired of holding on to you, it's time to let my pride go and learn to love myself again, yeah I don't wanna wait another day, I've waited long enough I'm ready, I can see the sun, it's coming up There's happiness on the horizon I'm hopeful I can see the light, I've hesitated all my life, but I'm all done [Pre-Chorus] I'm done running from you. Spent my whole life in your shadow, scared of who I'd be if I, yeah said goodbye and I didn't have you here [Chorus] I wish you well, but I can no longer stand this, I can't watch you sabotage the two of us I love you to death, but I can't spеnd the rest of my life in this darknеss, I'm done. I'm done. [Interlude] Ooh Ooh [Verse 2] I wish you the best, but I'm not interested in giving you more of my life, I've already given you too much I don't wanna lose ya, I don't wanna keep ya. I know that you mean well but when I fail, I don't need ya rubbing my face in it, and treating me like I'm less than you Tell the truth You know I be better without ya Been in your shoes, don't be a fool and try to convince me that I'm the real issue --when you're the root to every problem. I love you, but not enough to allow you to continue to drown the both of us You're holding me back; you're pulling me down. You're making me hate myself. I don't wanna leave, but that's what I need. I ain't got a choice, I can't just let you deceive and make me believe that I don't deserve to be loved! I am not gonna stand aside and watch you attempt to rob and steal and sabotage the little faith I have left, yeah. Haven't I sacrificed enough for you? Hate seeing you cry, but I think it's time to let go, and say our goodbyes. See, I'm gonna miss you, but I'm not gonna spend the rest of my life... [Pre-Chorus] Running from you. Spent my whole life in your shadow, scared of who I'd be if I said goodbye and I didn't have you here. [Chorus] I wish you well, but I can no longer stand this. I can't watch you sabotage the two of us. I love you to death, but I can't spend the rest of my life in this darkness. I'm done. I'm done. [Outro] Ooh Ooh... ❤️ 🥲

NF has done more for people’s healing than most therapists do.

Ooh this felt personal! What a lyrics, man! ❤ I'm tired Of holding on to you, it's time to let My pride Go and learn to love myself again I don't wanna wait another day, I've waited long enough I'm ready I can see the sun, it's coming up There's happiness on the horizon I'm hopeful I can see the light, I've Hesitated all my life but I'm all done I'm done running from you Spent my whole life in your shadow Scared of who I'd be if I Yeah Said goodbye and I didn't have you here I wish you well but I can no longer stand aside And watch you sabotage the two of us I love you to death, but I can't spent the rest of my Life in this darkness, I'm done I'm done I wish you the best, but I'm not interested In giving you more of my life, I've already given you too much I don't wanna lose ya I don't wanna keep ya I know that you mean well but when I fail I don't need ya Rubbing my face in it and treating me like I'm less than you, tell the truth You know I'd be better without ya Been in your shoes, don't be a fool And try to convince me that I'm the Real issue, when you're the root to every problem I love you but not enough to allow you to continue to drown the both of us, you're Holding me back, you're pulling me down, you're making me hate myself, I Don't wanna leave, but that's what I need, I ain't got a choice, I can't just Let you deceive and make me believe that I don't deserve to be loved I am not gonna stand aside And watch you attempt to rob and steal and sabotage What little faith I have left, yeah, haven't I sacrificed enough for you? Hate seeing you cry, but I think it's time to let go and say our goodbyes Yeah, I'm gonna miss you, but I am not gonna spend the rest of my life running From you Spent my whole life in your shadow Scared of who I'd be if I Said goodbye and I didn't have you here I wish you well but I can no longer stand aside And watch you sabotage the two of us I love you to death, but I can't spent the rest of my Life in this darkness, I'm done I'm done

3:29 ... This is where he moves on. This song I feel like is the true page turner of NF moving on from his past and looking into the bright future ahead. 5 albums, a mixtape, and many EPs leading all up to this final crescendo. 30 years of anxious, 30 years of suffering, 30 years of torment, 30 years of evolution. It's genuinely beautiful to see NF's journey in life displayed out through his music. Through his insane impact on the rap community, his battle with fear, his struggle to move on from that haunting past. Speechless.

Who else has this song on repeat cuz the thought of self-harm, anxiety, and depression are nonstop and this song helps quiet the noise and gives me hope to let go of the negative thoughts. That line, “I’m going to learn to love myself again” hits deep.

This song perfectly encapsulates both the longing to be free from your own obsessive mind and the fear associated with losing such a huge part of yourself. Seeing how much Nate has grown gives me hope for my own recovery

I've struggled with addiction for the past 20 years. I'm coming up on 9 months completely clean and sober for the first time in those 20 years. This song is my goodbye song to drugs and alcohol. NF has taken the words right out of my soul and saved my life once again. Thank you man thank you!

If you're broken hearted this can heal. If you're lazy to do something or procrastinate to do something. You can also sing this jam to yourself. The purest rapper out there🫂.

NF music is my therapy.

Well it's 12:00 AM and I have work tomorrow... But you already know I gotta listen to every song on the album 🥱

God has used Nf as an example of what it means to struggle, succeed by your own standards only to fall harder then you ever have, then find redemption and find salvation. We’re proud of you Nate

NF is so talented and underrated… he deserves sooooo much recognition! ♥️👏🏼🤌🏼
