Hold Your Hand
NAV Lyrics

I help you with all of your problems but (but)
I assist you with your issues, but it seems like you're becoming a problem for me as well.

You're becoming one for me too (for me too)
You're starting to create issues for me as well.

Tired of hearin' about the bills you gotta pay (pay)
I'm fed up with hearing about the bills you have to pay.

'Cause I got 'em too (I got them too, yeah I got them too)
I understand your struggle because I have the same bills to pay.

I got real things to think about
I have important matters to focus on.

I'm not worried about you (no, not worried about you)
You're not my concern or priority.

Fives, tens, twenties and a fifties, all my hundreds blue (blue)
I have plenty of money to spare, as indicated by the blue-colored hundred-dollar bills.

I can't hold your hand through this shit (ah)
I can't guide you through your problems at this point.

Can't hold your hand through this shit
I cannot assist you any further.

It's not my fault I got rich
I'm not to blame for my wealth.

And you still ain't got shit (still ain't got shit)
You still are not successful or financially stable.

I went through pain for all of this (for all of this)
I had to endure hardships to achieve my success.

I had to change for all of this (for all of this)
I needed to make personal changes to get to where I am.

Why you got your hands off? (ah, hands off)
Why are you distancing yourself from me now?

I always had everything planned out (planned out)
I always had a plan and followed it through.

It's funny how everything panned out (panned out)
It's ironic how everything turned out in the end.

The tables turned now I'm the man now (man now)
Now the situation is reversed, and I am successful.

How you smoking everyday
Why are you able to afford smoking every day?

When you need me to pay your phone (phone)
But you still ask for me to pay for your phone bill.

Where you spend the money I gave to you?
You're not transparent with how you use the funds I give you.

You said you don't know (what?)
You're claiming ignorance about the money you received.

I had nobody to help me when I felt alone (alone)
I had no one to support me in my time of need.

Had no time to make excuses I just did it on my own
I didn't make any excuses, I persevered on my own.

When I count my money
When I'm counting my earnings.

I can feel you looking sideways at me (sideways at me)
I sense you're envious or resentful of me.

You always staring at my chain and now you mad
You're always gazing at my expensive jewelry and now you're angry, maybe due to feeling inadequate.

'Cause everybody's looking at me (body looking at me y'all)
Because I am in the public eye, being scrutinized.

You can't make what I make in a month in a year
It's impossible for you to earn as much as I make in a month. It might be a jab at the person he's addressing in the song.

Just saw my niece and I put diamonds in her ears (ears)
I just gifted my niece expensive diamond earrings.

When I needed you, you weren't there (there)
When I required your help, you were absent.

Now you want to go with me everywhere (where)
Now you want to join me on every trip or event I attend.

You say I ain't keeping it real and that ain't fair (fair)
You're accusing me of not being genuine and perceive that as unjust.

You were never ten toes down, so I don't care
You weren't fully committed to your goals, so I have no interest in your progress.

They know who I am, I'm good for it
People recognize my reputation and trustworthiness.

The money's there (there)
I have the funds.

Now you call me yeah you feel some way (way, way)
You're calling me now, but your tone indicates that you're resentful or annoyed with me.

Did you see NAV he was spendin' bands today? (today, today)
Did you notice that I spent a lot of money recently?

Last time I checked I heard you playin' both sides (sides)
The last time I checked, I found out you were playing both sides of a situation.

Cut you off now only money on my mind (mind)
I've ended our relationship, and my focus is solely on earning more money.

The last time you held me down it's been a minute (minute)
It's been a while since you supported me.

I put in work like A$AP Ferg you know I'm winnin' (winnin')
I grind and persevere like A$AP Ferg, and that's why I'm successful.

Feeling lonely off the drugs, I called Mariah
I felt lonely because I was on drugs and called Mariah for comfort.

Told her bring it back, I need some more of ya
I asked Mariah to bring me more drugs since I craved them.

Everything hit, look at my bust-down, make me feel rich
Everything came together, and looking at my flashy, diamond-encrusted watch makes me feel wealthy.

Look at my fit, you know I'm NAV, I didn't pay for it
My outfit shows I'm NAV and I likely received it for free due to my fame and status.
