The first song I ever heard by NF was Wait but I didn't fall in love with his music until I heard Mansion which seemed to speak to me on another level. Over the past few weeks, I have been listening to all of his music on repeat because I love how raw he is when he raps. He speaks of his experiences in life and that's what makes him so relatable. His raps are filled with allusions to his past and innuendos calling out other artists. He may not rhyme in every rap but when he does, his words are magical. Regardless, his voice is beautiful and what he raps speaks volumes.

These are some of the lyrics that I find powerful:

1. “And the problem and the reason you could never move forward in life/ Is because you were never awake” – Wake Up

2. “If this was all for money, I’d have quit years ago” – Hands Up

3. “I’d rather spend a minute with love in my life/ Than go a million years without knowing what it’s like” – Thing Called Love

4. “Love is like a privilege, a lot of us abuse it” – Thing Called Love

5. “The world wants to tell us who we are and who we ain’t/ But the person that I am is somethin’ you can never change” – Just Being Me

6. “The moment you blink is the moment you lost” – Intro

7. "See, my problem is I don't fix things, I just try to repaint/ Cover ‘em up, like it never happened" – Mansion

8. “’Cause I don’t want you to have the opportunity to hurt me/ And I’ll be the only person I can blame when you desert me” – Mansion

9. “Life is something you don’t wanna play with” – Face It

10. “I’m my own worst critic” – Motivated

11. “I’m scared to live but I’m scared to die” – Paralyzed

12. “I’m tired of all the talkin’ to be honest I would rather see a difference” – I Just Wanna Know

13. “I don’t need a picture of my mom, I need the real thing” – How Could You Leave Us

14. “Apologies don’t mean a thing if you don’t ever fix it” – Breathe

15. “Sometimes the closest people to you make you feel protected/ But those are the same people that hurt you most and leave you guessing” – Breathe

16. “In 10 minutes, I still couldn’t explain what’s inside my brain, don’t mess with it” – Real

17. “Everybody wants change/ Don’t nobody wanna change though” – Oh Lord

18. “You see the same God that you saying might not even exist/ Becomes real to us, but only when we dying in bed” – Oh Lord

19. “The older you get, the more family is everything” – I Can Feel It

20. “I’m doing me, I don’t live for you” – Gridin’

21. “I heard that pictures don’t change/ Just the people inside of ‘em do” – Lost in The Moment

22. “They told us that time flies, didn’t know what it means/ Now I feel like we’re just running around tryna/ Catch it and hoping to cut up its wings” – Lost in The Moment

23. “’Cause I thought you had me in prison this whole time, but I’m the one holding the keys” – Intro III

24. “If ima die, ima die givin’ everything that I have” – Outcast

25. “It’s like we throw away the things in life that really matter/ Just so that we can make it to the top, and wonder what we’re even climbing after” – 10 Feet Down

26. “I ask you a question, I want answers, not the run-around” – Green Lights

27. “Can’t nobody think for me, I got my own thoughts” – Dreams

28. “Sometimes you don’t know what you had until it falls apart” – Dreams

29. “Doubt put his hands around my throat, so I cut ‘em off” – Destiny

30. “Pain will always find its way to the surface/ No matter how deep you bury him” – My Life

31. “Life’s about taking chances, making moves/ Not about what you did, it’s what you do” – My Life

32. "Surround yourself with people that challenge how you think/ Not people that nod their head and act like they agree" - Remember This

33. "The cure to pain isn't something you buy at liquor stores" - Remember This

34. "We waste a lot of time crying over wasted time" - Remember This

35. "Grab your own glass and fill it, don't let your fear destroy you" - Remember This

36. "I am way more than people might think when they look on the surface " - No Name

If you haven't listened to NF before, I highly suggest it. He's a psychologist's wet dream and I wish I could see inside of his head.

One of my biggest pet peeves is when someone does not try to help their self before asking others. How can someone else be expected to help you if you do not first do that yourself? I'm all about helping those that need it when the time comes, however whenever someone does not even attempt to help him or herself first then that becomes a huge problem. As we all have learned, people tend to take advantage of us in one way or another. I am sure we all read this short story when we were younger and it follows that same principle:

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant

There's always chaos in the restaurant business.

10 Signs You Work In A Restaurant
Brisanis

Working in the restaurant industry is possibly the most fundamentally challenging occupation I have ever experienced when it comes to hospitality and customer service. When you go to a five-star restaurant you expect the time of your life, a two hour getaway, a walk through another time period (rustic Italy, France, Spain, etc), or simply a honeymoon undergo. What you don't see are the behind the scenes scut work: carrying trays, polishing glassware and silverware, kitchen chaos, the list is endless. Now, I'm not saying being a host, server, or bartender is the worst thing in the whole wide world, there are definitely worse things. But the fact of the matter is that it isn't always sunshine and rainbows. In the two years that I have spent in restaurant and customer service, I have spoken my share of expletives, yelled at kitchen staff, and dealt with not-so-happy guests. It isn't easy to keep a bright and shiny smile on your face when all you want to do is choke every person who walks near you. Anyone who has spent even two weeks working in a restaurant understands the rigor and stress that comes with it. Restaurant culture is a tiny world in and of itself that operates on its own principles and creates its own society. It even has its own language. The sayings "runner", "corner", and "on a bus" wouldn't make sense to anyone otherwise. My mother and I both work in a restaurant and the best advice I can give someone going out to eat is to treat us like people. Yes...believe it or not we are people, people. Say "please" and "thank you", or stack your cleared plates before a busser gets to the table. Trust me, the gesture goes a lot farther than you may think.

So, if you work in a restaurant, you can relate with the following points. If not, check out how the brain of a restaurant service (or any customer service) worker actually works. See if you can identify any crazy weird habits your friends have a tendency to partake in.
