On this track, NAV raps about how his female companion should have trust in him, regardless of the things he has done. Quavo of Migos also adds a verse in this mellow, laid-back song. The song is part of NAV’s 12-song debut album Reckless, released on May 18, 2018.
[Intro: NAV]
Faith in me, yeah, have some faith in me, yeah
Some faith in me, yeah, have some faith in me, yeah
Some faith in me, yeah
[Verse 1: NAV]
I wish that I could have the money without fame
I would trade all my diamond rings and all my chains
Just so, just so me and you could be the same
Just so I wouldn't have to deal with all this pain (All this pain)
My nephew started smokin' gas and I'm the one to blame (I'm the one to blame)
I'm off the Perkys and I'm cryin' in the rain (Skrrt)
Right now, I'm poppin', but sometimes I wish I was a lame
Last year, they didn't fuck with me, but now they know my name
Girl, I got what you want, I got whatever you need (Whatever you need)
I'm pissin' out these pills, and I'm cryin' codeine (I'm cryin' codeine)
The shit I used to buy, now I be gettin' for free (For free)
Girl, right next to you is where I wanna be (Where I wanna be, yeah)
[Chorus: NAV & Quavo]
Have some faith in me, yeah, baby, just wait on me, yeah
I've been hittin' all these hoes, but none of them datin' me, yeah
Ain't no fakin' me out, the drugs, they takin' me up
Don't know where I'm gonna go if you don't wait on me, yeah
Have some faith in me, yeah, baby, just wait on me, yeah
I've been hittin' all these hoes, but none of them datin' me, yeah
Ain't no fakin' me out, the drugs, they takin' me up (Huncho)
Don't know where I'm gonna go if you don't wait on me, yeah
[Verse 2: Quavo]
I gave them both the keys, made them race to me, yeah (Skrrt, skrrt, Huncho)
Nawfside the place to be, come and play with me, yeah, yeah (Nawf, Nawfside)
Drippin' all this water, don't drown (Drip, splash)
Told 'em, move this work across town (Work, work)
I know you’re a lil' bit scared' but it's okay now (It's okay)
And when you get back home, put your face down
Ass up, the bags up, the fam us
That mean we famous (Damn), and it won't change us (Yeah)
Have some faith (Faith), got big boy sticks, we safe (Safe, safe)
Don't play with the gang (Migos), he gon' die today
[Chorus: NAV]
Have some faith in me, yeah, baby, just wait on me, yeah
I've been hittin' all these hoes, but none of them datin' me, yeah
Ain't no fakin' me out, the drugs, they takin' me up
Don't know where I'm gonna go if you don't wait on me, yeah
Have some faith in me, yeah, baby, just wait on me, yeah
I've been hittin' all these hoes, but none of them datin' me, yeah
Ain't no fakin' me out, the drugs, they takin' me up
Don't know where I'm gonna go if you don't wait on me, yeah
Have some faith in me, yeah, baby, just wait on me, yeah
I've been hittin' all these hoes but none of them datin' me, yeah
Ain't no fakin' me out, the drugs, they takin' me up
Don't know where I'm gonna go if you don't wait on me, yeah
Have some faith in me, yeah, baby, just wait on me, yeah
I've been hittin' all these hoes but none of them datin' me, yeah
Ain't no fakin' me out, the drugs, they takin' me up
Don't know where I'm gonna go if you don't wait on me, yeah
[Outro: NAV]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Faith was written by NAV & Quavo & Cash (XO) & Jordan “Trouble” Bacchus.
Faith was produced by NAV & Jordan “Trouble” Bacchus.
I was in Toronto. I was hanging out with my boy Trouble. He makes beats and stuff. I was at a studio at his house, and we started making beats together. One of the beats, I was like just, “Let me go into the booth and record.” We just started recording it. I did pretty much the whole song, there on...
The melody, what notes I’m going to choose to rap with. First the melody comes out, and then I fill in the words.
There was definitely some girl problems going on at that time. Let’s just say that. That was the inspiration.
I wasn’t really happy with the second verse that I had, and then Cash is really good friends with a lot of people in the game, especially with Quavo and people like that. He was like, “What do you think if we put Quavo on this,” and I thought, “Yeah that will be a dope fit.” Something different, you...
