NAV Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I pull up to my town, I'm outside
They wanna see me drown, it's on sight's what they said
I heard these niggas wanna take my life
I don't apologize, I would die for this shit
I don't apologize, I don't hide
I'm Kubrick with the shine, got the ice on my neck
They wanna throw a bag on a
Price on my head, got a price on my head
Night when I rest, with a knife by my bed
I'm so paranoid, I'ma sleep when I'm dead
I'm so paranoid, I'ma sleep when I'm dead
Price on my head, got a price on my head (price on my head)
Night when I rest, with a knife by my bed (knife by my bed)
I'm so paranoid, I'ma sleep when I'm dead (when I'm dead)
I'm so paranoid, I'ma sleep when I'm dead
I cut off all my side hoes, in du Cap with a dime though
All these girls been ran through, on the low real snipe mode
I can't sleep, that's insomnia, so much ice, like I'm Tonya
All my boys livin' debt free, your squad like Wesley
I want head on a jet ski, she gave me head for a Fendi
For a Prada, she got sexy, for a Lambo or a Bentley
My mansion is no joke, house party like 1 OAK
Weed louder than gun smoke, get high off one toke
You beefin' with yourself, tell the truth
Niggas on your side, they would ride for me too
Still wasting they time, tryna come for me too
I'm too busy, faded in Japan with the crew
With the crew, with the crew, with the crew
Shout out all the girls who've been riding for me too
Niggas want me dead, I've been dead, nothing new
Niggas want me dead, for a bag and a
Price on my head, got a price on my head (price on my head)
Night when I rest, with a knife by my bed (knife by my bed)
I'm so paranoid, I'ma sleep when I'm dead
I'm so paranoid, I'ma sleep when I'm dead
They tried to get me and they missed, if we send shots then they gon' hit
I could get your top taken off for less than a quarter brick (no cap)
One of my rings could get him off, we'll check him off the list (check)
My shooter a codeine addict, he'll do it for a pint of Actavis (Act')
Since I met Cash, got a lot of racks, I still want more (racks)
I can tell by the way you carry yourself, you never sold no dope (dope)
Growin' up, my mama beat my ass and cleaned my mouth with soap (soap)
Now she showin' up to work in a Balenciaga coat
Price on my head, got your life 'round my neck (yeah)
Put a brown kid in the Southside Rex' and me is what you'll get (me)
My block was like the car wash, you drive in, you gon' get wet
Had take a lot of losses, made me comfortable with death (yeah)
Took too much Act', had to pop a Xan to reset
His bitch gave me some top, and now he wanna send me threats
Live my best life, I know my opps just wanna see me dead
Took his life, I paid him double what they put on my head
Price on my head, got a price on my head (price on my head)
Night when I rest, with a knife by my bed (knife by my bed)
I'm so paranoid, I'ma sleep when I'm dead (when I'm dead)
I'm so paranoid, I'ma sleep when I'm dead
Price on my head, got a price on my head (price on my head)
Night when I rest, with a knife by my bed (knife by my bed)
I'm so paranoid, I'ma sleep when I'm dead
I'm so paranoid, I'ma sleep when I'm dead

@sammiejuwon779
The Weeknd should sing on more beats like this, he killed it
@mansourovicchan
Lol he did in 90% of his features
Low life
Coming out strong
Curve
Wonderful... Etc
@snappback18
@c I heard no autotune whatsoever on Weeknds part
@speclove1
omega facts
@skylerconstant9246
Pp
@SkinnyMuscles69
@WavyNvegasDJ every song he has has auto tune on it, now how much auto tune? I can’t say. Every artist uses it and it isn’t always a bad thing.
@mariahwilliams1030
I know you may never see this but this album is literally the best. I had the entire album on repeat ever since it came out. People think you might be a boring rapper but screw them, people like negativity and to see you down. But I think you changed their minds after this album. I’m so proud and happy for you ❤️
@honestly1412
NAV might not be the best singer, but his voice is, compared to other rappers, distinctive. I like it! And The Weeknd is a class for itself, as always. What a heavenly voice and blessed singer!
@andylee101010
i agree!
@bryan1956
ahahha i cant believe u said Nav voice is "distinctive"
