NAV Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

We ain't returning shit, so we don't need receipts (no)
Don't wanna know what I spent, the total's scary (yeah)
I done bought you everything in CC (CC)
Murakami Louis bag with the cherries (whoa)
You don't understand, I said I need my space (whoa)
Why you all up in my face? (Whoa)
You'll take me a lifetime to replace (whoa)
Goin' fast, I can't slow down my pace (whoa)

I give you a lot of things, but I can't give you what you want
Got you a lot of rings, I still won't make you number one
Can't tell the truth, I keep on lyin', I can't help it
I always put myself first, you say I'm selfish
Since I got some change, I can't lie, my feelings changed (changed)
If I had a choice, I'd trade the money for the fame
Are you down to make this work with me or not? (Or not)
I'm always workin', I can't let them take my spot
I ain't felt this bad in so long
Especially when the backend comin' in strong
I don't need shit from you, just need your loyalty (loyalty)
Then you'll get whatever you want, put a Bentley B on your key

We ain't returning shit, so we don't need receipts (no receipts)
Don't wanna know what I spent, the total's scary (oh-oh)
I done bought you everything in CC
Murakami Louis bag with the cherries (yeah)
You don't understand, I said I need my space (space)
Why you all up in my face? (Face)
You'll take me a lifetime to replace ('place)
Goin' fast, I can't slow down my pace (whoa)

You say I don't do nothin' for you (for you)
And in the end it's all my fault, I spoiled you (spoiled you)
Don't make me start to think you don't deserve me (deserve me)
When I wake up, I think 'bout you, the first thing (first thing)
I'm tryna clean up my mess (my mess)
You told me, "Step it up," say less (say less)
Try to text, you leavin' me on read (on read)
If I pop two Percs, my pain is dead (is dead)
I struggled tryna make you understand (understand)
Please don't make me have a change of plans
Guess I ain't got what it takes to be your man
Tryna hide the fact I hope this never ends

We ain't returning shit, so we don't need receipts (no receipts)
Don't wanna know what I spent, the total's scary (oh-oh)
I done bought you everything in CC (CC)
Murakami Louis bag with the cherries (yeah)
You don't understand, I said I need my space (space)
Why you all up in my face? (Face)

You'll take me a lifetime to replace ('place)
Goin' fast, I can't slow down my pace (whoa)
