About This Track

NAV enlists Gunna for 'Codeine', a track built on the frank acknowledgement of substance dependency. The song moves between boasting and confession, its chorus anchored to the admission of a troubled relationship with prescription opioids, whilst the verses layer in the familiar trappings of trap wealth: designer clothes, luxury cars, casual violence. There is no irony here, no distance between the speaker and the lifestyle being described. Gunna's verse matches NAV's register, trading specifics about spending and status before circling back to the same chemical dependency that frames the song's emotional core. The production sits in the pocket of contemporary Atlanta trap, letting the voices carry the weight of contradiction: material excess and chemical need existing in the same breath, neither resolved nor reconciled.

"Codeine" is a track by NAV, from the album Good Intentions, released 8th May 2020. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

Codeine

[Intro: NAV]

(Yeah)

[Chorus: NAV]

Where I'm from, they shootin' shit up odee

Probably 'cause we ain't got no OGs

Don't start judgin' if you don't know me

Had a bad relationship with codeine (Lean)

Dripping every day, I'm so fresh, so clean

Quality stones, VVS on me (Ice)

You fucking with a G, I love to take E (Yeah, yeah)

Got like forty racks stuffed inside of my jeans

It don't cost jack, get you whacked for free

I don't eat steak, but I'm ready for beef

Told you that I quit, but I still pop beans (Pop beans)

Grindin' at night 'til I crack my teeth (Yeah)

Brought the poles, gotta keep two at least

Half a brick gone, three, four for a piece

My brother hit a lick for five, six keys

Now he got the same AP as me (Yeah)

[Verse 1: Gunna]

My brother got the same AP as me

I'm smoking Biscotti, I don't smoke OG

I bought your bitch a Masi' for seventy G's

I told her come and ride it for a little Celine

I pull out that convertible just for the breeze

I let my lil' nephew hold an SRT

We pullin' up on Elliot for real VVs

Made a million off of streaming, I was sellin' CDs

I call her my lil' freak and she get it off me

She give a nigga head while I'm playin' in her weave

I got too many vibes, I brought sand to the beach

Me and NAV gettin' high when we on a shoppin' spree

Double cup, Styrofoam, fill it with codeine

I need it every day, and don't tell me I'm a fiend

You can really feel it when you chewin' on a bean

I been out my mind, fuckin' bitches by the threes

Speedin' in the Benz and the tank on E

You gotta go and get it, don't nothin' come free

I'm standin' rock solid, bitin' harder than teeth

Wear Rick Owens denim with the Chrome Heart tees

We some big dawgs and way out of your league

I spend it in the mall, twenty thousand on jeans

Me and Wheezy Wave havin' codeine dreams

Nigga play with me, he'll spray at your tee

[Chorus: NAV]

Where I'm from, they shootin' shit up odee

Probably 'cause we ain't got no OGs

Don't start judgin' if you don't know me

Had a bad relationship with codeine (Lean)

Dripping every day, I'm so fresh, so clean

Quality stones, VVS on me (Ice)

You fucking with a G, I love to take E (Yeah, yeah)

Got like forty racks stuffed inside of my jeans

It don't cost jack, get you whacked for free

I don't eat steak, but I'm ready for beef

Told you that I quit, but I still pop beans (Pop beans)

Grindin' at night 'til I crack my teeth (Yeah)

Brought the poles, gotta keep two at least

Half a brick gone, three, four for a piece

My brother hit a lick for five, six keys

Now he got the same AP as me (Yeah)

[Verse 2: NAV]

LV pants got a permanent crease

You ain't got nothin' on I ain't seen

Runnin' out of time, I increased my speed

Yeah, it feel good buyin' watches for the team

Different designers wrapped 'round my feet

Rocking Dior with flowers and bees

You was talkin' shit, now your ass gettin' beat

Kick you in the face with an Off-White cleat

I was splitting tickets on the TTC

You know I stay with S-L-I-M-E's

My whole city beefin', mad cow disease

Play with us, you must wanna D-I-E

Lately, all these rappers all C-A-P

When I'm off the Addys, I don't E-A-T

It's hard getting S-L-E-E-P

Prayin' Bucks get F-R-E-E (Yeah)

[Chorus: NAV]

Where I'm from, they shootin' shit up odee (No cap)

Probably 'cause we ain't got no OGs

Don't start judgin' if you don't know me

Had a bad relationship with codeine (Lean)

Dripping every day, I'm so fresh, so clean

Quality stones, VVS on me (Ice)

You fucking with a G, I love to take E (Yeah, yeah)

Got like forty racks stuffed inside of my jeans (Yeah, yeah)

It don't cost jack, get you whacked for free

I don't eat steak, but I'm ready for beef

Told you that I quit, but I still pop beans (Pop beans)

Grindin' at night 'til I crack my teeth (Yeah)

Brought the poles, gotta keep two at least

Half a brick gone, three, four for a piece (Yeah, yeah)

My brother hit a lick for five, six keys

Now he got the same AP as me (Yeah)
