1) Navy is a singer-songwrit… Read Full Bio ↴There are at least two artists called Navy.
1) Navy is a singer-songwriter from the Caribbean island of Dominica. She has a musical brand that is unique as it is groovy. A blend of hip hop and soul music that still maintains authenticity and tribute to her Caribbean roots. Navy works with the Pretty Boy Worldwide label which has expanded her reach as a Caribbean artiste. However, despite her growing global reach she still celebrates her Caribbean roots through her music and by advocating for singing in Creole (a historic language of the Caribbean that was created by slaves).
(Information from 2bkaribbean.com)
2) "...featuring ex-members of Boysnightout and Millenium Fair, Navy fuses anthemic leads with walls of overdriven power chords a la mid 90s rockers Knapsack while retaining the sensitivity of early Jimmy Eat World. This is a rock and roll record for pop fans. A slick recording leads to the illusion of these fine young lads already being rockstars, while the metaphorically charged lyrics show their true colours of heartbreak and romantic deception (wow). This post-emo-shit is great for any listener looking for a relative alternative to artists such as: Jimmy Eat World, The Jealous Sound, Knapsack, Foo Fighters, Boysnightout & Paulson." - Phil, TikTokTikTok Records

Me dey fu remind you in case you forgot
Ah nuh my time lost, tell me what de cost
Try fu buy out my family and friends pon my block
Have I thought about what?
Said I would have flopped
Brown skinned girl with de flavour pon top
Talk a whole heap a trash
Ah no my price that, you know that type of cash
What a boy run fast
Expect de crash
You no respect de scene, me ah come 'round your stash
'Cause a boy done crash
Bare flash back to da time when you did say you done have me back
And I want to be free, free, free
And I just want to be me, me, me
Ready when you ready
What you got to say
Hold on steady, no let me get away
But me dun know already
Them bad mind ways
Make you sharp and edgy what make you get away
Okay, think I got to find another way
Me no have time fu spend dey a play inna your game
Cuh you're lame
Mash up de place, and pass de blame
'Cause a your fault that, de way you ignite de flame
Them tell me say you calling my name, better watch who talk to and mind what you say
Me fu make you have a ransom to pay
You no watch who you run to again and again
And I want to be free, free, free
And I just want to be me, me, me
Well, if you wanted your heart then why you gimme it?
Should have tell me from start you na no deal with it
'Cause now me no go down 'cause of who you dealing with
That ah di wrong type of pack and you no seeing it
But ah one shot, memba me tell you that
One day you go open up your heart and understand
Alpha of de pack, kia be pon top
Master mind energy ah watch from de back
And I want to be free, free, free
And I just got to be me, me, me
One shot, one shot is all you got
Me dey fu remind you in case you forgot
Ah nuh my time lost, tell me what de cost
Try fu buy out my family and friends pon my block

Brown skinned girl, flavour pon top
Talk a whole heap a trash
Buh my mode pon bash
Ah no my price that, you know that type of cash
What a boy run fast
Expect de crash
You no respect de scene, me ah come 'round your stash
'Cause a boy done crash
Bare flash back to da time when you did say you done have me back
The lyrics to Navy's song, One Shot, are about standing up for oneself and not letting others bring them down. The lyrics encourage the listener to remember that they only have one shot at life and to make the most of it by being true to themselves. The song starts with Navy reminding the listener that they only have one shot and that they should not forget that. She then goes on to talk about how someone tried to buy out her family and friends but it was not worth it. She talks about how she thought she would fail but she didn't and how she talks a lot of trash but it's just for show. Navy then goes on to talk about how someone is trying to catch up to her but they will crash because they do not respect the scene. She ends the song by repeating the chorus, stating that she wants to be free to be herself.
