Wouldn’t work? But worked out, havin’ cold feet You know how many times that I was told things Yeah, went from my bedroom to the big leagues As he says in the lyrics, “I used to be the guy who’d kill to get a number one, but nowadays I don’t really give a-.” It’s a clear message of change: I craved the visibility I deserved for years now I have the success I deserve, and I gained it all by myself the music industry didn’t give me anything, and I no longer need it. It’s proof he moved on from the disappointment that this treatment gave him for years. Someone interviews him, but he mocks them.
Therefore, the motto in the title is the philosophy that has guided him so far: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Meaning, as long as it works, there is no way to change our approach.Īs we see in the official video above, NF simulates his alternative participation in a fancy awards show where he’s not invited: the show goes on ignoring him. But NF never accepted any compromise: he always followed his instincts against everybody, which led him to be the successful, independent artist he is now.
In the lyrics, NF covers again a topic that was often present in his career: his disappointment about how the music industry has always neglected his talent, marginalizing him, keeping him out of the limelight, and always suggesting to change something on his approach if he wants to be part of the industry.
Motto is a song about the complicated relationship between the rapper NF and the American rap world. Motto: the song lyrics, meaning, and reaction
