Brown Boy
NAV Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She met a lot of brown boys and she say i'm the realest
She never met a brown boy hang with all the killers
She met a lot of brown boys and she say i'm the realest
Our pockets full of brown boy tell me what's the business
I'm not the type of brown boy you take home to your daddy
I'm the type that got the killers on speed dial
If you diss me in the mall i'm shuttin' shit down
I'm about to steal another brown boy's bitch now
I'm leavin' from the rexs and i'm going to B-Town
It's like i'm born in Texas the way i'm drinkin' lean now
She think i'm crazy pop a molly i can't sit down
All of the bitches who diss me you ain't doin' shit now
All of the niggas who ridin' man they turn to snitch now
All of my niggas they killers they won't pass on a lick
We never fold, never throwed, don't fight over a bitch
And if you diss me on the road they might empty the clip
Just like future fuck around you tryna dodge bullets
You say they wanna rob me tell them try to pull it
I show your bitch the D and she know where to put it
She never met a brown boy hang with all the killers
She met a lot of brown boys and she say i'm the realest
Our pockets full of brown boy tell me what's the business
Say she scared i'm gonna change when i get money
Say she scared and she don't like who i'm becoming
Shawty movin' insecure and it's a turn off
Rollin' up i gotta lot of stress to burn off
There's not a lot of OG's that i can learn off
They're tryna help but really wishin' i would fall off
(I'm leaving from the Rexs and i'm going to B-Town)
She never met a brown boy hang with all the killers
She met a lot of brown boys and she say i'm the realest
Our pockets full of brown boy tell me that's the business

[Intro]
Woo
[Verse 1]
Seen 'em in the club with nothin' but pretty tings
Probably think I'ma weirdo, can't stop starin' at his rings (Woo)
What kind of car was he driving? That shit was clean (Clean)
Tried to catch him outside but he peeling off the scene
I wonder what it feel like to live his life for just one day
How he keep making his dreams come true and I can't? I'm starting to hate
Wonder if he capping when he say he counting up all day
Wonder if I start rapping if I can be like him one day
[Chorus]
He the one I hate the most, brown boy
Makes me sick when you brag and boast, brown boy
He could turn my wifey to a hoe, brown boy
I don't know how he sell out shows, brown boy
(Brown boy)
Engine roaring up the block, I heard the noise (Brown boy)
Think I live around the corner from the brown boy (Oh no)
Who got these hoes paying attention? Brown boy (Yeah)
Probably came from a different dimension, brown boy (Yeah, yeah)
[Verse 2]
I heard he be fucking with the Thug and all of his slimes (Yeah, yeah)
I know a girl that he be hitting from time to time (I know)
Man I fuck that hoe back in high school, she was mine (She was mine)
Shit, I'ma play it off like I don't mind (Woah, woah)
NAV sai all he do is get up and grind (Woah, woah)
Fuck am I doing in school? I'm wasting time (Wasting time)
Swear, if he get another plaque, I'll lose my mind (I'ma lose it)
I envy his life so much, I wish it was mine
Still live with my mom and dad, I hate them both
If I listen to the brown boy, I might get some hope
He always gonna be there when there's nowhere for me to go
Can't deny his music, feel the drugs, I need a dose
[Chorus]
He the one I hate the most, brown boy
Makes me sick when you brag and boast, brown boy
He could turn my wifey to a hoe, brown boy
I don't know how he sell out shows, brown boy
