[Pre-Chorus]
Driving down the 401 and I'm speeding
Basic bitches asking me what a bean is
Put her number in my phone and delete it
Put her number in my phone and delete it
My killers gorillas, they roll with bananas
30 on waist, they won't run out of ammo
Ain't to much shit that my niggas can't handle
Ain't to much shit that my niggas can't handle

[Chorus]
If you take me simple, I swear you won't take me simple again
If you take me simple, I swear you won't take me simple again
Catch me in the 6 with my day ones, we don't need no new friends
(If you take me simple, I swear you won't take me simple again, no)

[Verse 1]
This youngin just said he needs laces for his Jordan 9's, he ain't talking 'bout shoes
My killas, they ballin', but they don't crossover, they stand on the corner and shoot
35 points, 10 assists
Went from passing a rock to a brick
I know Brazilians that hitting licks
I know some niggas that I fucked they bitch
I know some people who said they won't switch, but they switch
I know some people who said they won't snitch, but they snitch
But it's hard to see when there's a snitch in a nigga
But I can always tell a bitch in a nigga
I'm on the road to the riches, li'l nigga
I never get caught up on bitches, li'l nigga

[Pre-Chorus]
Driving down the 401 and I'm speeding
Basic bitches asking me what a bean is
Put her number in my phone and delete it
Put her number in my phone and delete it
My killers gorillas, they roll with bananas
30 on waist, it won't run out of ammo
Ain't too much shit that my niggas can't handle
Ain't too much shit that my niggas can't handle

[Chorus]
If you take me simple, I swear you won't take me simple again
If you take me simple, I swear you won't take me simple again
Catch me in the 6 with my day ones, we don't need no new friends
(If you take me simple, I swear you won't take me simple again, no)

[Verse 2]
These pussies rapping on road, but they singing in jail
My bro on the run, tryna stack up his bail
My pockets were low, I didn't wan' check the mail
Now that I'm up, man, I'm giving em' hell
I just want money, I don't need these hoes
She see I'm getting money, she ain't know, now she know
She didn't wanna fuck with me when I was broke
Now I'm putting white girl in white girl's nose
She fuck with the kid cause she know I'ma blow
Remember the days that I wore the same clothes
Remember the days sitting in Sdot
Looked up to the sky and came up with a plot
All of my niggas, we chasing a knot
These niggas they wishing my music gon' flop (Make your mind up)
Wanna make this money or not?

[Pre-Chorus]
Driving down the 401 and I'm speeding
Basic bitches asking me what a bean is
Put her number in my phone and delete it
Put her number in my phone and delete it
My killers gorillas, they roll with bananas
30 on waist, it won't run out of ammo
Ain't too much shit that my niggas can't handle
Ain't too much shit that my niggas can't handle

[Chorus]
If you take me simple, I swear you won't take me simple again
If you take me simple, I swear you won't take me simple again
Catch me in the 6 with my day ones, we don't need no new friends
(If you take me simple, I swear you won't take me simple again, no)

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.
