Navy Blue Lyrics

Word, word, word
Expressing that Navy Blue is about to convey important messages

It's Navy Blue the Truest
Introducing Navy Blue as the artist behind the song

This song 'bout the subconscious
The song explores the hidden aspects of the mind

Why I hold my tongue hostage
Reflecting on the struggle to express oneself effectively

Twenty days 'til the sun blossom
Anticipating a positive change or growth in the near future

Took steps out my own casa
Stepping out of one's comfort zone and embracing new experiences

Classic, tragic
Acknowledging the familiar patterns of life's struggles

Naw, I'm better off alone probably
Realizing that being independent may be preferable

Never me, I can't get this shit from nobody
Recognizing that personal experiences cannot be completely understood by others

Couple weeks away
Referring to a short period of time

I pray that I don't never pass this worry on to nobody, we gifted
Hoping not to burden others with worries and emphasizing the innate talents we possess

Inner visions clear, I'm tearing up my own body
Having a clear understanding of oneself and being introspective

Leaves falling, rake it up, Nicki and Yo Gotti
Metaphorically addressing the need to clean up and deal with life's challenges

Stop it, I be sitting on my own nodding
Acknowledging one's tendency to reflect and nod in agreement with oneself

Nothing isn't free, a brief pedigree
Highlighting that everything has a cost, even a short lineage or background

I know that God got me, I know he fine watching
Having faith in God's protection and belief in divine guidance

I know the stakes high
Understanding that the risks are significant

Sun glimmer make way through the sky
Observing the beauty of sunlight piercing through the sky

Take Sage for example, fallen victim to his pride
Using the example of someone named Sage who suffered due to their pride

Papa on a mantle
Referring to a father figure being remembered or honored

The warmth of his smile bring tears to my eyes
Expressing the emotional impact of remembering a loved one's smile

The war of a long life, cry if you gotta
Acknowledging the struggles faced throughout a lifetime and allowing oneself to cry if needed

Most the trauma tied to my father
Recognizing that a significant portion of personal trauma is linked to one's father

Parallels of light shining on me
Experiencing moments of illumination and understanding

A knight in shining armor
Being compared to a heroic figure who protects and defends

Ignite the plight and karma
Setting in motion the challenges and consequences one faces

Despite the pain and charmer
Acknowledging the pain and difficulties faced by someone who appears charming

I can't breathe, rest in peace to Eric Garner
Referencing the unjust death of Eric Garner and expressing a struggle to find peace

Worries like nothing that I harness
Describing the intense nature of the worries one carries

Tarnished, talking dramas in the armpit
Discussing troublesome situations and conflicts in an intimate manner

Target on our body
Feeling vulnerable and being targeted

Uplift
Encouraging positivity and motivation

A alite, be a light, see a light
Inspiring others to radiate positivity and seek illumination

(?) register and heed the signs
Advising to pay attention and take note of important indications

Chain the devil, free the mind
Symbolically restraining negative influences and freeing oneself mentally

However far that the length of the coin extends
No matter how much wealth one possesses

Fails to measure all that matters most in the end
Material possessions are insignificant compared to true values

(?) to be is to continue
Implying that existence implies continuity and progression

The curtain call is prelude, Bey and Blue
Referencing the symbolic nature of a performance and possibly alluding to Beyoncé and her daughter Blue Ivy

Waves that shoot, from the ocean of a four by four
Describing the powerful impact of music originating from a specific location

To biting beats to the Côte d'Ivoire, any other port of call
Expanding the influence of music beyond one place to various destinations

To open war to where the ports are gone raw
Metaphorically depicting conflicts or challenges in places affected by the loss of trade and development

Drop anchor fate to civilize the danger
Using destiny as a means to tame or control dangerous situations

Contemplate the heavenly arrangement with amazement
Reflecting on the marvels and intricacies of the universe's grand design

The sun remains greater than the laboratory laser
Highlighting the superiority of nature's power compared to human-made technology

Sciences advance but don't advance enough to change it
Acknowledging the limitations of scientific progress in altering natural phenomena

Stop it with your rockets, we already on a spaceship
Challenging the notion of needing advanced technology to explore space when Earth itself is like a spaceship

Three C's for your consideration
Presenting three important concepts for contemplation

All this contact, cosmic, constant
Emphasizing the continuous and interconnected nature of cosmic phenomena and human existence

You in the place to be
Addressing the listener as being in a significant position

We in the place to be
Emphasizing that both the artist and listener are in a meaningful situation

I'm with you and you with me
Stating a mutual connection and solidarity

And that's the place to be
Affirming that the present moment is where one should be

You are you and imma me
Acknowledging individual identities and differences

We in the place to be
Reiterating the significance of the current situation

Please
A plea or request for attention

The condition of the people won't change
The situation of society will remain the same

'Til they change what's in themselves
Unless individuals change their own attitudes and behavior

The condition of the people don't improve
The state of society won't get better

'Til they improve what's within
Until individuals improve their inner selves and values
