Turn My Back Lyrics – NF

[Intro: NF]
Ayy!
Yeah!

[Verse 1: NF]
On even on my off days
Right even when I'm off-base
Life, live it like tomorrow ain’t
Promised to me, gotta get it today
Why wait? Too late
Never heard it, always
On time, my way or the highway?
Mindstate not safe
Need grace, need love, need God, need faith
Betray, cut ties, first time, first take
Worst case, wordplay, my home, my stage
My place, less you, more Ye
More Drake, more Em, more Dre
More Cole, more Kendrick, more names
Cordae, Sean, 6LACK, my list
My names, my picks, my taste (Woo)
My faith in my own hands​
Hand it over to you? No chance
Wanna get the job done right
I do it myself, oh yeah
I am what they wanna be
Who they wanna see, the big man
God's plan
Got a problem with the boy? Take it up with Him then, oh
Iconic, who want it?
Heard that you was looking for the smoke, huh?
Catch me on a bad day and you might find it
Fine dinin’, flying private
Couple things that I could easily afford to do
A couple things that you don't know a thing about
You mighta read about it, heard about it
Thought about it, dreamt about it, played it out inside your head
But what I'm doing for a living isn't something I was taught
You either got it or you don’t got it, and you don’t got it
I'm the co-signer, you the broke artist
I’m the captain and you in coach flying
I'm the lead role, you in the background, yeah
I'm the star player, you the mascot, yeah
I’m the future, you the past, old timer
I'm the truth and you the bold-faced liar
I'm the CEO and you the customer
I'm the frontman and the ghost-ghostwriter
I'm the creator, I'm the director
I'm the hitmaker, I'm the empire
I'm the shot caller, I'm the show stopper
I'm the real one, you the fake knockoff, oh

[Verse 2: NF]
Jaw dropper, headliner
Top gunner, head honcho
Eyecatcher, real stunner
Y'all got it? New topic
Ye's docu​​mentary was inspirational to me, I love watching
Lames try to keep stars in the dark just 'cause they afraid of you
Funny how they switch up quick when they realize that your name buzzing
Funny how they all wanna hop on board when they see the wave coming
Funny how they wouldn't put me on the tour and now they hit me up
And say, "I hope you're doing well, we should do a tour or something"
Man, stop
We ain't doing nothing, got my own thing going, that's the way I like it
Too many cooks in the kitchen, that's a problem I ain't never gotta worry 'bout
Twelve people on a song, man, to each his own, but for me that's a little wild
Got enough people in my business, I don't need another hand dipping in the pot

[Bridge: NF]
I don't need nobody showing me the ropes
I don't need you telling me to do my job
I don't need to hear you say that I'm the G.O.A.T.​​
I don't need you asking me to switch the style
I don't need you laughing when I tell a joke (Ayy)
I don't need you faking, tryna crack a smile
I don't need you (I don't need you), I don't need you
I don't need you telling me it's been a while
I don't need the label breathing down my neck
I don't need the venue telling me it's loud
I don't need you talking when I'm tryna rap (Woo)
I don't need my name coming out your mouth (Ohh)
I don't need you using me to get respect
I don't need a picture with you for some clout
I don't need you, I don't need you
I don't need you telling me you got some doubts

[Outro: NF]
Worry 'bout yourself, yeah
I don't need your help, yeah
What's your name? What's your name? What's your name?
Doesn't ring a bell
Every time I look down and your number pops up on the cell
Shake my head, threatening me, tryna get me to respond, well
If you really knew me you would know that that's the quickest way to make me turn my back on you and—
