166 - Intro III

//Nate (NF), Fear

What, are you scared of me? That's embarrassing. If it wasn't for me, you would've never wrote Therapy. I've been here for you, but how come you're never there for me? It's a little bit twisted, but I miss when you and I had scary dreams. I don't really wanna talk about it. Well, that's too bad now, Nate. Shut up! Now, where were we? Well, back in the day when you and I had it all mapped out in the basement. You were crying in your room like a baby. "I wish mom was here!"  We all do so we wouldn't have to hear about it on every single record. You don't really wanna change me. I'm the one that made this happen. Do you really wanna get rid of your main attraction? Let's pack our bags and go back to Gladwin now. It's time for the third record. You know I got the content. I don't wanna make you nervous, but it ain't like it used to be. We've got a lot of people watching. You told me that you don't want me in your life. That's pretty hard to digest. I told you I'd leave when we die, and we ain't died yet.
     Therapy Session was beautiful, Nate, but I'm wondering what's coming next. Get that stupid hat off of your head when I'm talking to you. You hear what I said? What? You don't like the prison I built you? You wanna know what the funny thing is? You keep on talking to me like a stranger, but we've been together since you were a kid. I took us from a no-name and told you everything was okay. Now you're trying to cut me out of it like I ain't never been a part of it. I am the heart of it! I made this whole thing! I put us on the dope stage! You must have no brain. What's the point of having guns if you can't aim? What's the point of having blood with no veins? What's the point of having love with no pain? What I'm sayin' is me without you doesn't make any sense. I know I'm intense and controlling, but you need to learn how to cope with it. That's just the way that it is. If you didn't want me to live in your house, you shouldn't have let me move in. It's comfortable here and I like it. I got my own room and everything. It doesn't get better than this!
     You say you wanna own your life? Wake up and take your own advice! You're just mad 'cause you know I'm right. I'm flattered you put me in Mansion, but you should've told them right. I hold your hands on the coldest nights. You didn't tell them about the times you and I used to hold the mic. I mean, what are you? Out of your mind? Both of us will be. Come on, let's go outside! Is this what you wanted? Both of us out in the open? Let's do it then! I mean, why are you doin' this? I know that you're mad, but I'm not in the mood for this. We got a record to drop so why you actin' like I'm not a part of it? Hey, where is my shovel at?  Probably out back where it always is. You can't get rid of all of me! I'm the reason why- Nah, shut up, I don't wanna hear another sentence. Hey, I'm NF! "Is it me or the fear talking?" Ha! What a dumb question! It's real music 'til the day we die, right? Ain't that the slogan, Nathan? I thought I told you to keep your mouth shut!  I mean, so what? You know I never listen Let me guess: we're gonna dig a hole, kill the track, and probably put a beat in it, then rap about it for like three minutes. Hey, that's pretty deep, isn't it? Wait a minute, you don't really think for a second that you're putting me in this? No, of course not! Just a little deeper then we'll go inside and we can stop digging. You had me scared for a second. I thought we were digging my grave (Fear gets hit, knocking him into the "hole") We did. What? You don't like being afraid? It's a dose of your own medicine
What? You don't like how it tastes? My therapist told me don't bury my issues, but I'mma be honest, man, I'm feeling great. I think it's only right we go back to where you were created. I wrote a song for Johnny without you, but he ain't gonna like it. Let's see how he takes it. He probably don't even remember us, does he? I wish I was burying anger, but both of us know I'ma need him for that song. He still lives in the basement. Almost done. I shoulda done this a year ago. I don't know why I waited. You know how I get: I put everything off in my personal life. Do you hear what I'm sayin'? That was a joke. It's hilarious, ain't it? You'll spend the rest of your life in my backyard, or back of my mind. It depends on how you see it. Put the shovel away. It's time to go back in the house now. You'll be out in a week telling me you want your room back. That's funny! What, you ain't got nowhere to sleep? I'ma just look out the window and laugh at you. This is crazy to me. I thought you had me in prison this whole time, but I'm the one holding the keys.
