Naava SZN – Lyrics


Yeah

Young naavas from Naava Records man

We been umm

We been slept on for way too long man

It's bout time tho

NAAVA SZN

Yeah


I told my mom we finna make it

Naava never spat a lie in any of his records

Numbers do lie, even a milli do not add up to a hunnid

And all my naavas positive, I do not need no brackets

You probably thinking I run a bake house, they way I stack it

You fake it, it's only luck if you ever make it

I been real since day one

So my demeanor is well debated

It ain't my problem if you fuckin' hate it

The this NAAVA SZN, a bum if you thinking otherwise

Man I do this shit for the guys

For the naavas, for my mama

For myself, for the lonely nights

I had to deal with

Now, I'm all tapped in


The sky is not what we aiming for

That's what we stepping on

Extraterrestrial beings like we aliens

You prolly thinking that it's raining huh

Me and my naavas sipping on that good drank

And you naavas what we pissing on

Man we sitting on too many unreleased bangers

That we never putting out

That's your baby mama, oh shit, sorry I forgot to pull it out

I'm a fuckin' Fuego you naavas can't put me out

My naava Benny told me I should be a butcher

The way I slaughter all you naavas and then cook ya

Yuh Trigger finger itchy, should rather shoot ya

But I don't wanna be dubbed as killer like -

Raised by wolves, no cows, so I don't know how to milk it

If I had a Royce rolling, best believe it, shit be tinted

Never did it for the cameras but naava picture perfect

I'm the realest naava, yeah you fuckin' heard it

This the naava szn

I know my exhibition isn't televised like the new seasons

Of KBC

Well, naava that is me

Then break bread like it's breakfast

Yeah we getting cheese

Whoda thought that I would do this?

Fatherless kid from the gutter, bad influence

Mama had no job but she made it look too easy raising two kids

One came out as a wolf and the other, close to Buddhist

There's more to this allegory

Young naava szn yeah we going all in
