Intro:
REm     LA     REm     LA

REm    MIm7/5- DO#dim
 "Hey, Nate,   how's life?" I don't know, it's alright
REm                     MIm7/5-  
 I've been dealin' with some things 
     DO#dim
like every human being
SIb6              LA7
And really didn't sleep much last night (last night)
REm   MIm7/5- DO#dim
 "I'm sorry", that's fine

I just think I need a little me time
REm     MIm7/5-               DO#dim
 I just think I need a little free time
SIb6                  LA7
Little break from the shows 
                   REm  
and the bus rides (bus rides), yeah
MIm7/5-           DO#dim
Last year I had a breakdown
                    
Thoughts tellin' me I'm lost gettin' too loud
REm           MIm7/5-           DO#dim
 Had to see a therapist, then I found out
SIb6                    LA7
Somethin' funny's goin' on up in my house
REm              MIm7/5-            DO#dim
 Yeah, I started thinkin' maybe I should move out

You know, pack my cart, take a new route
REm       MIm7/5-          DO#dim
 Clean up my yard, get the noose out
SIb6       LA7
Hang up my heart, let it air out (air out)
REm        MIm7/5-    DO#dim
 I've been searchin' "What does that mean, Nate?"

I've been learning
            REm                MIm7/5-
Grabbin' my keepsakes, leavin' my burdens
DO#dim                SIb6             LA7
Well, I brought a few with me, I'm not perfect
               REm        MIm7/5- 
Lookin' at the view like, this concerns me
DO#dim
Pickin' up the cues, right? I'm quite nervous
               REm              MIm7/5-
Hate it when I lose sight, life gets blurry
    DO#dim            SIb6
And things might hurt me
                  LA7                    REm
It's prolly gonna be a long journey, but hey 
     MIm7/5-   DO#dim
It's worth it, though
                                                        
Cold world out there, kids, grab your coats
       REm             MIm7/5-         DO#dim
Been a minute, I know, now I'm back to roam
                SIb6        LA7
Lookin' for the antidote to crack the code
       REm                MIm7/5-           DO#dim
Pretty vivid, I admit it, I'm in classic mode

Don't need pity given to me, but I can't condone
        REm
Talkin' down to me, 
          MIm7/5-       DO#dim          SIb6
I'ma have to crack your nose for crackin' jokes
                    LA7
I'm lookin' for the map to hope, you seen it? 

REm            MIm7/5-      DO#dim
 Been makin' a whole lot of changes
                          
Wrote a song about that, you should play it
REm           MIm7/5-              DO#dim
 I get scared when I walk on these stages
             SIb6           LA7            REm
I look at the crowd and see so many faces, yeah
              MIm7/5-      DO#dim
That's when I start to get anxious
                                        REm
That's when my thoughts can be dangerous
            MIm7/5-     DO#dim
That's when I put on my makeup 
             SIb6
and drown in self-hatred
   LA7
Forget what I'm saying, and
                  
...Where'd the beat go?  

REm MIm7/5-     DO#dim
 Oh, ain't that somethin'?

Drums came in, you ain't see that comin'
REm               MIm7/5-       DO#dim
Hands on my head, can't tell me nothin'
            SIb6                LA7  
Got a taste of the fame, had to pump my stomach
REm           MIm7/5-         DO#dim
Throw it back up like I don't want it

Wipe my face, clean up my vomit
REm  MIm7/5-       DO#dim
OCD, tryna push my buttons
       SIb6
I said don't touch it, now y'all done it
REm                MIm7/5-
I can be critical, never typical
DO#dim
Intricate with every syllable, I'm a criminal
              REm              MIm7/5-
Intimate, but never political, pretty visual
DO#dim
Even if you hate it, 
     SIb6                     LA7
I'll make it feel like you're in it, though
                     REm
You call me what you wanna, 
               MIm7/5-
but never call me forgettable
DO#dim
Leave you deep in thought, 

I could never swim in the kiddie pool
                REm             MIm7/5-
Way that I been thinkin' is cinematic, it's beautiful
     DO#dim          SIb6   
Man, I don't know if I'm makin' movies 
         LA7             REm
or music videos (videos, videos, videos)

          MIm7/5-   DO#dim
Yeah, the sales can rise

Doesn't mean much though when your health declines
           REm               MIm7/5-           DO#dim        
See, we've all got somethin' that we trapped inside
               SIb6                 LA7
That we try to suffocate, you know, hopin' it dies
       REm                MIm7/5-          DO#dim
Try to hold it underwater but it always survives

Then it comes up out of nowhere 

like an evil surprise
        REm                MIm7/5-              DO#dim           
Then it hovers over you to tell you millions of lies
                    SIb6
You don't relate to that? 
               LA7
Must not be as crazy as I am
              REm                MIm7/5-       DO#dim
The point I'm makin' is the mind is a powerful place

And what you feed it can affect you in a powerful way
            REm
It's pretty cool, right? 
      MIm7/5-             DO#dim
Yeah, but it's not always safe
                   SIb6                LA7
Just hang with me, this'll only take a moment, okay?
            REm
Just think about it for a second, 
MIm7/5-             DO#dim
if you look at your face

Every day when you get up 

and think you'll never be great
             REm
You'll never be great, 
    MIm7/5-                     DO#dim
not because you're not, but the hate
                   SIb6
Will always find a way to cut you up 
    LA7
and murder your faith (woo!)

REm              MIm7/5-            DO#dim
I am developin', take a look at the benefits

Nothin' to meddle with, I can never be delicate
   REm              MIm7/5-              DO#dim
Am I even relevant? That depends how you measure it

Take a measurement, 
SIb6               LA7
then bag it up and give me the evidence
       REm                 MIm7/5-         DO#dim
Pretty evident, dependable can never be tentative

I'm a gentleman, 

depending on if I think you're genuine
       REm
Pretty elegant, 
         MIm7/5-              DO#dim
but not afraid to tell you to get a grip
             SIb6
Proper etiquette, 
               LA7                      REm
I keep it to myself when I celebrate, ah (ah)
     MIm7/5-    DO#dim
It's that time again

Better grab your balloons and invite your friends
    REm            MIm7/5-         DO#dim
Seatbelts back on, yeah, strap 'em in
            SIb6           LA7
Look at me, everybody, I'm smilin' big
     REm            MIm7/5-         DO#dim
On a road right now that I can't predict

Tell me, "Tone that down, " but I can't resist
      REm              MIm7/5-           DO#dim
Y'all know that sound, better raise your fist
                   SIb6           LA7
The search begins, I'm back, so enjoy the trip, huh...

REm  MIm7/5-  DO#dim

Classici Italiani

The Search è un brano scritto e inciso da Nathan Feuerstein, noto come NF, contenuto nell'album omonimo pubblicato nel 2019. Quarta fatica discografica per il rapper del Michigan, ha una forte connotazione introspettiva legata al rapporto tra vita privata e popolarità... difficile equilibrio che spesso sfocia in una sofferenza itneriore. La canzone, che dà il titolo al disco, è la traccia d'apertura e secondo singolo estratto: pezzo hip hop che parla proprio del danno fisico e mentale che il successo gli ha provocato.
