[Intro] Cm Cm Ab G x2 [Verse 1]
YeahCm, I gotta say, 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 Cmam I've bCmeen 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 undersCmtand" It's crCmazy for me
Kids hit me up, say they slittin' they wrists on the daily
This music is Abmore than you think Don't book me for just entGertainment, it's entertainin' Hearin' these Cmparents, they telling their kids
My music is violent you gotta be kidding me
I guess that Abyour definition of violence and mine Is sGomething that we look at differently How do you Cmpicture me, huh?
Want me to smile, you want me to laugh?
You want me to Abwalk on the stage with a smile on my face When I'm mad Gand put on a mask? For real though Cm I mean, what you expect from me?
I'm tryna do this respectfully
They say that Ablife is a race I knew my problems would pGrolly catch up eventually I do my Cmbest to be calm
How you gon' write me and tell me you'd slaughter my family?
That's just a gAblimpse to the stuff that gets sent to me These are the pGarts of my life they don't never see, woo! Cm I am aware, it's aggressive
I am not here for acceptance
I don't know wAbhat you expected But what you Cmexpect when you walk in a therapy session, huh?
[Chorus]
Cm Therapy, therapy Absession G Cm Therapy, therapy Absession G
[Verse 2]
Cm This girl at the show looked me in the face And told me her life's full of drama (Yeah!) Cm Said her dad is abusive
Apparently, he likes to beat on her mama
Cm 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 Cmreal These kids, they come to my shows
With tears in they eyes
Imagine someAbone looking at you And sayin' your Gmusic's the reason that they are alive Sometimes I don't Cmknow how to handle it
This type of life isn't glamorous
This ain't an act for the cameras (CmNah!) AbYou see me walk on these stages
But have no idea what I'm dealing with after it, nah!
I put it Cmall in the open This is the way that I cope with all my emotion I'm taking Abpictures with thousands of people But honestly, I feel like Gnobody knows me I'm tryin' to Cmdeal with depression
I'm tryin' to deal with the pressure
How you gon' tell me my music does Abnot have a message When I'm lookin' out at this crowd full of Gpeople I know I affected? ACmgh!
I got some things in my life (My life)
I know I should let 'em go (AbLet 'em go) Let me jot it down (Jot it down) Let mGe take a mental note (Mental note) CmI put it all in this microphone (Microphone)
Think about that for a minute
AbWhat is the point of this song? I'm just ventin' But Gwhat you expect from a therapy Cmsession, huh?
[Chorus]
Cm Therapy, therapy Absession G Cm Therapy, therapy Absession G
[Verse 3]
Cm What you think about me That doesn't worry me
I know I handle some things immaturely
I know that I need to Gmgrow in maturity CmI 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, Cmwoo! I ain't the type to be quiet
I ain't gon' sit here in silence
If I wouldn't Absay what I say to your face Then I Cpromise you, GmI wouldn't say it in private GI am not Cmlyin'
People go off on my page, and I'm tryin' to quit the replyin' But this is ridiculous
Ab I'm passionate, man, GI really mean what I'm writing You want me to Cmkeep it a hundred?
Okay, I'll keep it a hundred
I see a whole lot of talkin' on Absocials But honestly, I don't see nothing in Gpublic I kinda love it, yCmeah
"Why don't you write us some happy raps? That would be awesome"
C"All of your Abmusic is moody and dark, Nate" Gaha Don't get me started (Yeah!) Cm You wanna know what it's like if you met me in person? Listen to my Abverses
This music is not just for people
Who sit in the Gpews and pray at the churches, Cmnah! I won't reject it
I don't expect everyone to respect it
I don't Abexpect you to get my perspective But what you Gexpect from a therapy session? Huh? Cm
[Outro]
AbI mean,G I think someCmtimes people they confuse what I'm doin' I write aboutAb life, I write about things thGat I'm actually dealing with SomeCthing, that I'm actually experiencing
This is real for me
Like, this is sAbomething that personally helps me as wGell I'm not confused about who gave me the gift God gave me the gift and he Dgave me the ability to to do this And he Abalso gave me this as an outlet GAnd that's what music is for me When I feel something, Cwhether it's anger
Um, it's a passion about something or frustration
Like, Abthis is where I go This is Gthis is that's the whole "NF Real Music" thing, man
This is real for me I need this
This is a therapy for Abme
