Never Change
Nav Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lately I don't wanna sleep (I don't wanna go to sleep)
'Cause my life feel better than my dreams (my life is better than my dreams)
I'm in Hollywood, I'm on the scene (I'm on the scene)
But everything ain't what it seems
Everybody gonna treat you different when you on (on, on)
I just hope when they talk they remember my name when I'm gone (gone, gone)
Cut my grass close, see the snakes (eh)
Dunno how they can land on my face
They want a piece, see stacking my cake (woah)
I'ma disappear, won't leave a trace (woah)

Girl, I'm calling your phone
'Cause I'm poppin' the pills again (popping the pills again)
Girl, I'm lying to you when I say I'll never lie again (you know I'ma lie again)
I'm gettin' old, I'm scared I don't want the rockstar life to end
And I'm livin' the shit that I write 'cause it's hard to pretend

My life will never be the same (ya, I won't be the same)
But I'm scared I never gonna change (ya, I'll never change)
I'm addicted to the money and fame (ya)
I'm tryna control these thoughts in my brain (ya)
I'm scared I'm never gonna change, ya (ya)
I'm scared I'm never gonna change (ya)
I'm addicted to the money and fame (you feel, ah)
I'm tryna control these thoughts in my brain (ya)

When they ask me if I'm good, I say "ya" but I'm not (not)
My bro is still homeless and he's still cookin' on the pot (pot)
He said, "I gotta get this money on the road" I hope he don't get caught (caught)
Yeah I'ma keep it real, I'ma stay with my day-ones from the block (block)
To all of my enemies, it's R.I.P
Now I don't need to show I.D. 'cause I'm VIP
Push start, don't start my car with a key
Went from 8 balls, to a half, to a key
I hated sellin' my beats
Now I keep 'em all for me

I've been going down the wrong path
And I'm ignoring the signs (the signs)
I'm having trouble organizing the thoughts in my mind (thoughts in my mind)
Now time is money so you know I'm not wasting my time (time)
If they pull me over, don't know what they gon' find

My life will never be the same (ya, I won't be the same)
But I'm scared I never gonna change (ya, I'll never change)
I'm addicted to the money and fame (ya)
I'm tryna control these thoughts in my brain (ya)
I'm scared I'm never gonna change, ya (ya)
I'm scared I'm never gonna change (ya)
I'm addicted to the money and fame (you feel, ah)
I'm tryna control these thoughts in my brain (ya)





(Ya, ya, ya)

You got to be in the right mood to enjoy nav songs he's unique

ミカ

kittenkash well i don’t see anyone else like nav so i’d say that’s pretty unique. only person like nav’s style is uzi but even he’s more hype than nav

PROD. ERA

kittenkash damn bro that onision trap remix on your channel is much more unique than NAV :)

shit goes hard 🤡

ミカ

Zam Moran if you have a one of a kind hat that no one has ever seen before or has seen before but in small amounts that makes it unique. just bc you don’t like nav doesn’t mean he’s not actually a unique artist in general

PROD. ERA

@ミカ well said. nav has created his own colorful universe thru his albums. some ppl will never see that or accept him 😂 sucks 4 them

ミカ

@PROD. ERA yeah. he’s a big artist but he’s still somewhat underrated bc people don’t actually take time to listen to his music, they just hear their friends say he’s bad so they don’t give him a chance
