[Intro]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh (Yeah)

[Verse 1]
Tryna cover pain up buyin' all these things
Lately I been feeling like it's something missing (Oh, missing)
Lately it's a problem every time the phone ring (Ring, ring)
Can't help everybody, gotta do my own thing (Yeah)
Wish that when I die could change my batteries
Can't believe I thought about a salary (Yeah)
Love my fans, they get everything outta me
But when I get depressed, no one can help me (Help me)
Don't know why they hate me since I came on the scene
Don't nobody know what it feel like to be me (Woah)
They be so naive, it's easy fooling family
They think I'm happy just 'cause they see me on TV (Yeah)
Three years ago these bitches weren't fuckin' with me (With me)
When she said she love me, yeah, it's hard to believe
I think she just in love with who I'm destined to be (Woah, yeah)
If I wasn't getting checks, nobody checking for me

[Chorus]
Xannies had me comatose (Yeah)
And it was all my problem's fault (My problem's fault)
Sometimes I hope I overdose (Overdose)
Just to get all of my problems solved
Gotta get my brothers out the cage (Cage)
And don't care what it cost
All my brothers on the same page
Nobody takin' orders, everyone a boss (Yeah)
I was sellin' weed on foot (On foot)
I trapped the soles of my Jordans off
Somebody from my hood just got took
And I still feel like I should get involved
I ain't tryna give into the pain
But it's getting hard stayin' strong
You wonder why I be takin' all these things
I been stressed, but not for too long

[Verse 2]
Thumbs hurtin', I been countin' hunnids all day
Workin' hard so I go hard when it's time to play
With XO all your dreams come true, you know you gettin' paid
Abel went and got a different car for everyday
Bitches love us so much, my assistant getting laid
Diamonds need psychologist, they going insane
My jeweller told me that he want like thirty for the chain
Told him send the invoice, I ain't sweating over petty change
Happiness gon' come and go, it balance with the pain
People know I'm smart, they always tryna pick my brain
Didn't cheat, but I still cracked the code to the game
My DNA got "Go and get it" running through my veins
Celebrating every time I'm making big cake
We was smoking Backwoods full of roaches and shake
Now we buy another pound every seven days
Got everyone a visa, book a jet to LA

[Chorus]
Xannies had me comatose (Yeah)
And it was all my problem's fault (My problem's fault)
Sometimes I hope I overdose (Overdose)
Just to get all of my problems solved
Gotta get my brothers out the cage (Cage)
And don't care what it cost
All my brothers on the same page
Nobody takin' orders, everyone a boss (Yeah)
I was sellin' weed on foot (On foot)
I trapped the soles of my Jordans off
Somebody from my hood just got took
And I still feel like I should get involved
I ain't tryna give into the pain
But it's getting hard stayin' strong
You wonder why I be takin' all these things
I been stressed, but not for too long

Navraj Singh Goraya (born November 3, 1989), popularly known as NAV, is an Indian-Canadian recording artist, record producer, and engineer from Rexdale, Ontario, Canada, a district of Toronto. His parents are both from the state of Punjab in India and are fluent in the Punjabi language; NAV himself is fluent in both English and Punjabi and practices the religion of Sikhism, the religion the majority of Punjabs practice.

Following in the footsteps of Canadian singer The Weeknd, the co-founder and leader of XO and a frequent collaborator of his, NAV has preferred to let his SoundCloud do the talking in the early stages of his career. Although going largely unnoticed at the time of its release, NAV’s first noteworthy production credit was in July 2015 when he helped co-produce Drake’s diss track towards Meek Mill, “Back to Back.”

After hearing a string of successful SoundCloud hits, including the self-produced “Myself,” in 2016, Amir “Cash” Esmailian,, the co-founder and manager of XO, reached out to NAV, giving him an opportunity to expand from the revolutionary music platform. NAV has grabbed numerous features since linking up with The Weeknd and the rest of XO, consisting of Belly, 88GLAM, and Black Atlass. His first and arguably most recognizable feature (which he also solely produced) is Travis Scott’s September 2016 song, “beibs in the trap,” from Travis' sophomore studio album, Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight.
