The Power is in the mind 🙏🏽

NF will never be trashed he’s one of the only rappers that make you think when he raps.

"I pick up my weapon, aim in your direction, shoot at my reflection." Theres so much depth in this line. It sums up the album.

It’s not trash or pass with Nf ... it’s pass or pass🤷‍♂️

I liked every single song in "The Search" Felt like I could relate in a lot. Honestly have never liked every single song of an album

New York Times being offensive with that "another white rapper" comment like come on really🙄🙄🙄

When your done listening to all songs, take your time to listen to the whole album again in order. Trust me. Edit: Dont record, enjoy the record to its fullest in your free time

Nfs whole album is so cinematic. I'm watching it through my ears and it's a rollercoaster of emotions. #FIRESQUAD

My favourite song of the album... these lyrics go so hard for me; "Stop with the pretending, I don't feel respected I just feel rejected, I don't like rejection You promise protection, I don't feel protected I just feel neglected, how can I respect it? I'll teach them a lesson, I pick up the weapon Aim in your direction, shoot at my reflection Shatter my perception"

This song is him talking To his balloons to let him go trying to find the seven letters (freedom)

Your facial expressions are the best. 😂

Layedbakdfr: this song sound like a movie Me: what song from nf dont sound like a movie

“Like This” should be next up from the album

Pretty sure at the end he reveals he’s talking to himself... “I aim in your direction, shoot at my reflection”

So basically, “they” are his emotions who are “liars in his home” liars in his mansion in his mind. The emotions form Nate himself so thats why he says aim at your direction shoot at my reflection by which he shatters his perception. So, if he destroys or “kills” his emotions he will destroy himself. But his conflicting emotions are destroying him slowly right now as well. Its a big dilemma presented in a dope way.

"I'm 90% Yay lets go" "10% I'LL SMACK THE SH*T OUT YOU" lol im dying

Hey you scared me with the trash at 9:05 man, don't do that

Lyrics Talk to you with my hands tied Walk towards you on a fine line Everybody has a dark side I feel embarrassed when they see mine Rain falling from my dark skies Clouds parting, but it's all lies Shouldn't I see the sunshine now? Wonder how I look in God's eyes Am I a good person or a lost one? Will this feel worth it when I'm all done? Will I feel ashamed of like who I was? With the pain vanish or will more come? Will I stay numb or regain love? Maybe someday have a taste of freedom? Will I take the poison out of my blood? Or just leave it there inside of my lungs? I (know know, know) I should let you go, hands are feeling cold Just leave me alone (no, no, no) I just want control, I feel so exposed Liars in my home (no, no, no) Please do not provoke, noose around my soul, I cut down the rope They don't want me happy, they don't want me fixed They don't want me better, they just want me broke Talk but never listen, at least I admit it Blackout all my vision, watching me diminish That's my favorite past time, I know nothing different Tell me something different, I don't see the difference I just feel offended, I just feel defensive Why don't you accept me? I just need acceptance Time is of the essence, don't like how we spend it You just want perfection, I need you to let me Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go Why'd you say I don't belong here? (Huh?) Fill a bucket full of my tears (Huh?) Pour it out the water, all of my insecurities whenever I'm scared I watch 'em grow and say, "I don't care" I pray to God they ask if hope's real And if it isn't, I was thinking Maybe you could introduce us, we ain't met still Yeah, my chest feels like a blade's in it Who put it there? I think they did it Out the zone know, where am I head it Am I Hell-bound? Will I find Heaven? Will I feel better or just regret it? If I let you go and find the seven letters I been looking for us like it's never endin' Open all the doors and let the peace enter I'm (so, so, so) Pitiful at times, miserable inside They want me to hide (no, no, no) How can I survive? Change your state of mind I should say goodbye (no, no, no) They want me to beg, they want me to plead, they want me to die They just want me dead, they just want me hurt Don't want me to live, don't want me alive Stop with the pretending, I don't feel respected I just feel rejected, I don't like rejection You promise protection, I don't feel protected I just feel neglected, how can I respect it? I'll teach them a lesson, I pick up the weapon Aim in your direction, shoot at my reflection Shatter my perception, hate it when I'm desperate You just want perfection, I want you to let me Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go Let me go, let me go, let me go, let me go (let me go)

I think he's talking about his OCD, fears, insecurities. Everything dude does is fire because it's real stuff and it comes from the heart.

You missed that he's talking about himself bro. "Aim in your direction, shoot at my reflection".

I got on here as soon as this vidy dropped and mad heads already commented... Fire squad, WHATS POPPIN

New York Times header *NF has the No. 1 Album in the Country and he sounds miserable* This actually pissed me off too much 😂

Just rewatched this reaction and realized you missed one of the most important lines in the song. I pick up the weapon aim in your direction shoot at my reflection shatter my perception That line was supposed to enlighten you to the fact that the majority of the song he is actually talking to about himself in the first half, and then talking to himself in the second half. This is truely one of the greatest song sever created. From the melody, to the beat, to the lyrics, to the overall message. NF will always be one of THE GREATEST ARTISTS OF ALL TIME. He is also one of the greatest lyricists.

NF is the best. I feel like no matter what there's always a part of his song you can relate to

Get on youtube 10 min ago "Aw man no layedbak reaction". *watches different video* "Layedbak posted a reaction 9 min ago" -_-

I’m so glad I found this channel, he gives awesome perspectives on a phenomenal artist and gives him more depth

Congrats on 300k man well deserved! Definitely agree, that feeling of having a positive impact on people's lives is the best thing in the world, Awesome ending.

1.000 views in 5 minutes?! Damn, the channel has grown!

My man was looking like mickey mouse at 7:03 with how he moved the headphones.

I choked on my food at 9:04 when you trashed your freestyle 😂😂 better than what a lot of us could do but man, love your reactions. Can't wait until you finish the album & we can hear your review! #FireSquad

Layedbak is such a standard when it comes to this reaction game. My guy feels the music and is able to put his feelings in there without pausing constantly and screwing up the flow of the song. Also cant underestimate the quality of his audio. Honestly sounds better than the actual songs audio. Much love!

NF is the Mr. Robot of the rap industry. Lol

Next Like this by NF The beat in this song basically Layedbak type beat I'm 100% sure he will rock with it

whole album full of straight FIRE! I fuckin love NF man. I really gotta see him live. Loved the reaction as always man. Much love!

I’m not here everyday checking out your channel,but out of all the reactions I’ve watched your the most passionate about the feeling in the music. I found you last year and check in when good music drops. Thank you LAYEDBAK

I feel like he's telling his emotions and doubts to let him go.

You need to hear "Only" bruh. It explains his state of mind.

I really like how I can watch your videos and feel like I know you. It's not like a distant level feeling. Much love man.

Listening to you and a few other tubers everyday. Keeps me positive. It's not just your content (which is dope) it's you and seeing people like you that share the same values. Keep it up man, your a positive to the human equation

I can totally relate to this song. His message doesn't just identify with mental health but it also makes sense with addiction as well. All because of you and this channel, I've began looking deeper inside myself to see what more things I can do to become healthier mentally, physically, and spiritually. Thanks to everyone out there and love you all.

Love you so much! Btw this is the best REACTION CHANNEL EVER 💥

MAN love the work u doing bruh, always keep ur mouth where your mind is, Keep it real. Nf is talking to himslef, how he maks standerts too high to reach and fells numb and lost and hopeless while he tries to reach them, REAL like he aims at "your" directions and shots at his reflexion, just makes the whole álbum and the MAnsion Album and Percepcion álbum have even more of a deep meaning ...

Ooooooo! I've been waitin' for you to do this one. One of my favorites. Thanks!

Can't believe we left "Like This" to be one of the last. That song is so underrated on this album 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Pass!! NF is straight 🔥🔥🔥! Without a single lousy weak minded curse word! No filler! Nothing but truth, passion and BARS! #RapperOfTheCentury!

Currently my favorite song on the album, in love with the atmosphere it creates everytime I listen. Thank you for reacting!

Just got off work and been WAITING FOR THISS

*10 percent of the time I’m hyped up and like “yeah man!”* *90 percent of the time you touch my food I’ll smack the hell out of you*

"Clouds parting but its all lies" I've always interpreted that as in he feels like its getting better but then realises its all lies and its actually getting worse, What about you guys?

I love these videos. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this.

This must be my favorite video from you! Your speech was SO inspiring! Peace from Denmark! ✌️

I've been waiting for you to hear this for days lol. This song had the most impact on me over the entire album. I enjoyed the entire album but this had a personal connection with me. However this song is ominous and multiple perceptions will be taken from this track.

When you are done with The Search album you need to react to NF - Can You Hold Me, it’s honestly an underrated song and really shows off his singing abilities

I swear this is so emotional... the end of the vid was like a serman. I LOVE THIS CHANNEL!!!!💯 Layedbak keep doing what u doing! 💯💯💯💯

love your channel bro, you're doing great things keep it up!!

I was waiting for another NF reaction layedbac your awesome man

I’m a simple man I see layedbak upload I click

🔥🔥🔥🔥 man you right man it’s all about the message and I love when you find someone to relate to because then you can let go of other judgment and be real !!!!

This is my favorite on the album, loved your reaction too. Thanks!

My man straight spittin fire at the end 😂 🔥 loved that freestyle dude and love the video

Yo... Off topic, but those "Health is Wealth" shirts/hoodies are 💯🔥

Thinking is the deepest song on the drop “musically” Put the headphones on and listen to the mysterical movement... dope!

Luv ur videos man...Always solid always consistent 👨‍🏭

Found your channel last month love it. Love the reactions and love how your straight forward and feel like you actually care. NF is amazing he shares so much and is so honest and relatable. All his music is bangers

🔥Shoot at my reflection, shatter my perception🔥. He’s holding himself to those high standards as well.

You're gonna feel a vibe with Like This man i can't get over that song lol.

Love that the candle is burning in the background!!!

you understood with me the meaning of your whole channel and the meaning of the whole nf realmusic thank you.

1:35 "And i don't know if i am making movies or music videos" ~ NF the search

I be on the floor laughing so hard when you singin 😂

What you were talking about at the end about talking with someone who understands what you’ve been through is the exact conversation I had with one of my best friends a day ago. We were just seeing how we impacted each other’s lives through being able to share our stories without judgement, it’s truly a power thing to have empathy for others and to receive it. Awesome message LayedBak!

I have been waiting for this one, this is one of my favorite songs on this album...

Another 🔥🔥🔥....have you listened to the interlude yet? I usually close my eyes when I here this one, it's an experience! #FireSquad 🔥🔥🔥

“I pick up the weapon, aim at your direction, shoot at my reflection “... that shit hit me HARD! I feel like I usually aim my frustration at everything and everyone around me, but in the end I notice I’m the one making excuses and I’m the cause of my failure 🤯 RELATABLE

You’re the only reactor youtube I watch... You understand every word in a song and repeat the same thing and what it is supposed to mean and that’s what a reaction is supposed to be! Fire Squad for life!

LayedbakDFR you put everything perfectly in perspective in your words btw dope freestyle

His freestyle beat the end was actually decent😂👌🏾

NF , get that mind set to reality JOYNER LUCUS , the story maker always spit them facts just like NF LOGIC pure genesis just like joyner and NF .... that is why more people need to focus on there music and stop listening to that mumble rap my top 10 NF , JOYNER LUCUS , LOGIC,2PAC,BIGGIE,NWA,MISSY ELLIOT, NAS ,SNOOP DOGG, EMINEM my top 10 .... watch i give it by the new year mumble rap rap gonna be gone for good...LAYEDBAK i love you all your videos FIRE SQUAD

AND THATS WHY I LOVE HIS MUSIC HE KEEPS IT REAL I UNDERSTAND 🙏.....THNKS FOR UR HONEST WORDS❤👍👍🙏BLESS U LAYEDBAK!

Yo I rock with you. You're my favorite channel to hit up when I need to decompress

“Health is wealth” those facial expressions can’t be healthy😂😂😂

What's good bro 😎

When the bass first hit... and the video shook. I thought i imagined that... you are still underrated. That little edit made a big impact in how I experienced this video. I love your videos man, stay you!

Gosh, this song is so good. And your reactions, exactly how I feel everytime.

The crazy thing about this song is that yes, it can be interpreted as him wanting people to let him go and be himself and find his own way. But there's also the aspect of him talking to himself again. Nate always has this internal struggle with the emotions inside himself. near the end of the song, he provides this set of lyrics "I'll teach them a lesson, I pick up the weapon. Aim in your direction, shoot at MY reflection. Shatter my perception, hate it when I'm desperate. You just want perfection, I need you to let me (go)." He's talking to himself here. He telling himself to kill the perceptions he has of himself, and all the burdens that have dragged him down over the years so that he can move on to find happiness and be the Nate the he is Searching for.

Let’s goooooo

Love that freestyle you did there! You truly ARE a rapper. ❣️

When the album dropped this song was how I felt the entire day, I had it on repeat. Loving these reactions

I was reallllly worried about this song after you nearly didn't pass trauma lol glad to see it didn't go that same route

To me, seems like he's telling his brain to, let him go. He wants freedom from his thoughts!

OMG I love your facial reactions XD and also how yor breaking down the music to understand the meaning tyyy!!!!!!!!!!

You've been there for me through some of the toughest times of my life and I give you some of the credit for where I am now. All I want is to be positive and be here for my children. Keep doing you we all appreciate it.

If you ever go to one of his concerts you gotta live stream!

For Sunday rock and roll pls do skillet feel invincible or breaking Benjamin “diary of Jane”

Great review! I love your insight. You're a good man, bruh!

Dude I love your reactions and your sense of the music
