NF - What I Became Trying to Make Everyone Proud

I spent years trying to become someone everyone could be proud of. I chased expectations. I swallowed my doubts. I said yes when I wanted to say no. I became stronger when I needed to rest. And every time someone said, “I’m proud of you,” I smiled… while quietly wondering if I was still proud of myself. “What I Became Trying to Make Everyone Proud” is an emotional rap about losing pieces of yourself while trying to live up to everyone else’s expectations. I thought success would make me feel complete. Instead, I found myself surrounded by everything I was supposed to want, asking one painful question: “When did I stop becoming myself?” Sometimes the hardest person to disappoint isn’t your family, your friends, or the people watching you. It’s the person you see when nobody else is around. Maybe you don’t need to become everything everyone expects. Maybe you just need to become someone you can finally recognize. 🎧 Listen until the final chorus. If you’ve ever felt like your life was being built around everyone else’s expectations, this song is for you.
