In “Re Up”, Belly and Toronto artist NAV examine the effects of drugs addiction are having on their lives.
They use drugs as a form of escapism, this is reinforced when Belly mentions:
“All my demons keep on waking me up” and when NAV says “Born alone, die alone, I let the drugs take my soul”.
[Chorus: Belly]
You must have heard about the re-up
Call me real late, you know I'll be up
That's the only time you ever free up (Oh, yeah)
I'm not tryna fuck the energy up
She said, "Baby, please don't get the wrong idea"
Roll the tree and fuck this Hennessy up (Oh, yeah)
I come down and start to get ideas (Oh, yeah)
All my demons keep on wakin' me up
[Verse 1: NAV]
Born alone, die alone
I let the drugs take my soul
First time I bought some weed I was sold
If I get forty thousand for a show
I'm scared, I'll spend twenty-thousand on some dope
Either RAF or Ricky on my toes
In high school, I never made the honor roll
Poppin' mollies, I've been on a roll
Hope the highway doesn't take a toll
Smokin' blunts, burn the seat in the Rolls
No, I'm not the same NAV from before
I don't know who I am anymore
Woke up somewhere I ain't been before
Half a pill ain't enough anymore
They rappin' about drugs they never did before
What's fake and what's real? I don't know anymore
Takin' four bars, I should really split 'em
Fell on my face, had to really quit 'em
My broski up north whippin' in the kitchen
My uncle just lost his kidney
That won't stop me from poppin' and sippin'
You can tell that I'm gone from a distance
Poppin' prescriptions without a prescription
Told Santa all I want is molly for Christmas
[Chorus: Belly]
Re-up
Call me real late, you know I'll be up (Oh, yeah)
That's the only time you ever free up (Oh, yeah)
I'm not tryna fuck the energy up
She said, "Baby, please don't get the wrong idea" (Oh, no)
Roll the tree and fuck this Hennessy up (Oh, yeah)
I come down and start to get ideas (Oh, yeah)
All my demons keep on wakin' me up
[Verse 2: Belly]
Got a hell of a habit, take another tablet out the cabinet
Is there heaven for a savage? Is there heaven for a savage?
I'm poppin' pills like an addict
The trap how I learned mathematics
Is there heaven for a savage? Is there heaven for a savage?
Bags under my eyes cause I go hard
Probably cost more than the Goyard
Probably why I got a cold heart
Probably why I got to shine 'cause my life has been so dark, man
Pull up, bring your friend, that's a trio (Yeah)
Show up unannounced like my PO (Yeah)
You know the deal, the batch
Made her bend over backwards like Neo, yeah
I'm crazy but maybe I'm torn aside
I'm talkin' 'bout drugs like I glorify it
The truth is that I'm fuckin' horrified
I only slept twice in like forty nights
Man, I'm on the back, she on the poltergeist
Man, I should just start takin' my own advice
'Cause nowadays love is just overpriced, man
[Chorus: Belly]
You must have heard about the re-up (Oh, yeah)
Call me real, ain't you know I be up? (Oh, yeah)
That's the only time you ever free up (Oh, yeah)
I'm not tryna fuck the energy up
She said, "Baby, please don't get the wrong idea" (Oh, no)
Roll the tree and fuck this Hennessy up (Oh, yeah)
I come down and start to get ideas (Oh, yeah)
All my demons keep on wakin' me up

NAV:
We were up for like fucking three, four days in a row. I don’t even know, I had never stayed up that many days in a row in my life. It was the first time I ever did it, it was with Belly and Zack. Zack kept cheating and taking 10-minute naps and acting like he’s still up. Then I went ahead and...
