NAV reunites with both Travis Scott and Lil Baby on “Never Sleep,” the lead single for his fourth studio album, Demons Protected by Angels.
NAV first teased the song by sharing a short snippet on his Discord server on July 20, 2022. Some days later, RapCaviar posted another snippet announcing its r...
[Intro: Drake]
Tay Keith, this too hard
[Chorus: Travis Scott]
Geeked, never sleep
Stretch a hundred to millions in weeks
Got her runnin' and ridin' for me
Where it's sunny, we gotta retreat
Straight from London, she out in the East
Let her shop and she keep the receipts
Don't you tell him you got it from me
After this, I'ma need therapy
I been buildin' up my legacy
Hundreds on hundreds, on fold
I been up so far, somewhere
Stuck at the top and it's nowhere to go
[Verse 1: Travis Scott]
I was just thinkin' like, "Damn, might get a new drop so I can circle the floor"
I was just thinkin' like, "Damn, some niggas got cropped, I got a circlе to grow"
Soon as we land, we make it go "Pop"
Gavе her a grand, she turn it to snot
Got with her man, a nigga got blocked
Gave her a tan, I'm already hot
I gave her the land, the sand, and all the views, and really all you did was plot
I gave you the plans and brands and all the jewels, and really all you did was flop
[Chorus: NAV & Travis Scott]
Geeked, never sleep
Stretch a hundred to millions in weeks
Got her runnin' and ridin' for me
Where it's sunny, we gotta retreat
Straight from London, she out in the East
Let her shop and she keep the receipts
Don't you tell him you got it from me
After this, I'ma need therapy
I been buildin' up my legacy
Hundreds on hundreds, on fold
I been up so far, somewhere
Stuck at the top and it's nowhere to go
[Verse 2: Lil Baby]
Yeah, yeah, I'm from the streets
They remember me, lil' Dominique
I'm a dog, don't deny it at all
Nah, for real, keep your bitch on a leash
Why you tryna compete with me? Know you can't see me
I go the hardest and then I press repeat
Give a head start and they still ain't gon' beat me
Bro did some shit that they can't show on TV
Pull up inside a McLaren like, "beep-beep"
I took a half of an E, now I'm geekin'
Put her on camera, I'm never gon' leak it
Keep that shit classy, you see me, don't speak to me
Get her away from me, that's where she need to be
Switch the Mercedes sign out for a Brabus B
I pay 'em all they lil' fee, it don't bother me
I'm all on top of this shit 'cause I gotta be
[Chorus: NAV, Lil Baby, Travis Scott, NAV & Lil Baby]
Geeked, never sleep (Nah)
Stretch a hundred to millions in weeks
Got her runnin' and ridin' for me (Ride)
Where it's sunny, we gotta retreat (Retreat)
Straight from London, she out in the East (East)
Let her shop and she keep the receipts
Don't you tell him you got it from me
After this, I'ma need therapy
I been buildin' up my legacy
Hundreds on hundreds, on fold
I been up so far, somewhere
Stuck at the top and it's nowhere to go
[Verse 3: NAV]
Got two rings and they forty a piece
Gotta ride with a .40 at least
You invite her, she leavin' with me
What you pushin'? There's levels to P (Uh)
I came out the soil, I got mud on my cleats
Ever since "Run It Up," I got my money up, I keep all three of my bitches on fleek
Always stay geeked, if I ran into vampires, they would get high off the shit that I bleed
If a producer don't take off his tag, I'll do it myself and I'll remake the beat
When I go shoppin', I'm spendin' a bag, it touch the floor when I hold up the receipt (Bag)
I been goin' ghost and my doors on suicide
Lookin' in the mirror like, "I really am that guy"
Still with my gang, I don't really like to choose sides
Hop off a jet to a check on a Redeye
Roll up a spliff, mix the grabba with dead guys
People still hatin' and I still don't know why
Four pockets full, put a molly in a Cacti
[Chorus: NAV & Travis Scott]
Geeked, never sleep
Stretch a hundred to millions in weeks
Got her runnin' and ridin' for me
Where it's sunny, we gotta retreat
Straight from London, she out in the East
Let her shop and she keep the receipts
Don't you tell him you got it from me
After this, I'ma need therapy
I been buildin' up my legacy
Hundreds on hundreds, on fold
I been up so far, somewhere
Stuck at the top and it's nowhere to go

This shit is gonna be playing a lot. The music that I listen to is not along the same lines of my biggest songs like “Turks” or something like that—that’s not even my musical taste. I mean, I just knew I could make it. But I can tell when a song is a hit. I can tell this is gonna go. […] I hope they...
Yeah, it did. Because when we announce things, things happen in my life. Today, my manager Cash was trying to get a hold of me. And I was not picking up my phone because I was doing something and then my assistant got a hold of me. And he’s like, “Yo!” He’s all mad at me, like, “You have the song co...
It was sent to [NAV’s manager] Cash, and then Trav said, “You should get on this and put it on your album.” Cash decided, “Yo, this song is big and we should make it the [lead] single [for Demons Protected by Angels].” […] It’s a hot song that we should for sure put out, so we can get some buzz goin...
