1
Hey, Nate.
2
How's life?
3
I don't know.
4
It's alright.
5
I've been dealing with some things like every human being and really didn't sleep much last night.
6
I'm sorry.
7
That's fine.
8
I just think I need a little me time.
9
I just think I need a little free time.
10
Little break from the shows and the bus rides.
11
Last year I had a breakdown.
12
Thoughts telling me I'm lost, getting too loud.
13
Had to see a therapist and I found out something funny's going on up in my house.
14
Yeah, I started thinking maybe I should move out.
15
You know, pack my car, take a new route Clean up my yard, get the noose out Hang up my heart, let it air out, air out I've been searching, what does that mean, Nate?
16
I've been learning, grabbing my keepsakes Leaving my burdens, well, I brought a few with me I'm not perfect, looking at the view like This concerns me, picking up the cues, right?
17
I'm quite nervous, hating when I lose sight Life gets blurry
18
and things might hurt me It's probably gonna be a long journey, but It's worth it, though, cold world out there Kids, grab your coat, it's been a minute I know,
19
now I'm back to Rome Looking for the antidote to crack the coal Pretty vivid, I admit it, I'm in classic mode Don't need pity given to me, but I can't condone Fucking down to me,
20
I'ma have to crack your nose for cracking jokes I'm looking for the map, the hope, you see that?
21
Been making a whole lot of changes Wrote a song about that, you should play it I get scared
22
when I walk on these stages I look at the crowd and see so many faces Yeah, that's when I start to get anxious That's
23
when my thoughts can be dangerous That's when I put on my makeup and drown in self-hatred Forget what I'm saying and...
24
Where the beat go?
25
Oh, ain't that something?
26
Drums came in, you ain't see that coming Hands on my head, can't tell me nothing Got a taste of the fame, it'll bump my stomach Throw it back up like I don't want it Wipe my face,
27
clean off my vomit OCD tryna push my buttons I said don't touch it, now y'all done it I can be critical, never typical Intrigued with every syllable, I'm a criminal Intrigued but never political,
28
pretty visceral Even if you hate it, I make you feel like you're in it though You call me what you wanna
29
but never call me forgettable Liquid even thought I can never swim in the kiddie pool Weighted, I've been thinking the cinematic is beautiful Man, I don't know if I'm making movies or music videos, videos, videos Yeah, the sales can rise,
30
doesn't mean much though when your health declines See, we've all got something that we trapped inside that we try to suffocate You know, hoping it dies, try to hold it underwater but it always survives
31
And it comes up out of nowhere like an evil surprise
32
And it hovers over you to tell you millions of lies You don't relate to that?
33
Must not be as crazy as I am The point of thinking is the mind is a powerful place
34
And what you feed it can affect you in a powerful way It's pretty cool, right?
35
Yeah, but it's not always safe Just hang with me, this'll only take a moment, okay?
36
Just think about it for a second, if you look at your face Every day when you get up and think you'll never be great, you'll never be great Not because you're not, but the hate Will always find a way to cut you up and murder your faith I've been developing,
37
taking a look at the benefits Nothing to matter with, I can never be delicate My irrelevant, that depends how you measure it Take a measurement to back it up and give me the evidence Pretty evident, dependable can never be tentative I'm a gentleman,
38
depending on if I think you're genuine Pretty elegant but not afraid to tell you to get it We're proper etiquette, I keep it to myself when I celebrate It's that time again,
39
better grab your balloons and invite your friends Seatbelts back on, yeah strap them in Look at me, everybody, I'm smiling big On a roll right now
40
that I can't predict Tell me tone that down but I can't resist Y'all know that sound, better raise your fist The search begins,
41
I'm back so enjoy the trip Thank you.

¿Qué es la Técnica de Shadowing?

Shadowing es una técnica de aprendizaje de idiomas respaldada por la ciencia, desarrollada originalmente para la formación de intérpretes profesionales y popularizada por el políglota Dr. Alexander Arguelles. El método es simple pero poderoso: escuchas audio en inglés nativo y lo repites en voz alta de inmediato, como una sombra que sigue al hablante con solo 1-2 segundos de retraso. A diferencia de la escucha pasiva o los ejercicios de gramática, el shadowing obliga a tu cerebro y músculos de la boca a procesar y reproducir simultáneamente patrones de habla reales. Las investigaciones muestran que mejora significativamente la precisión de la pronunciación, la entonación, el ritmo, el habla conectada, la comprensión auditiva y la fluidez al hablar, convirtiéndola en una de las metodologías más efectivas para la preparación del IELTS Speaking y la comunicación en inglés en el mundo real.
