Nav Lately

Today, the 33-year-old delivered “Lately,” which is set to appear on his forthcoming NAV 2 album. According to a press release, the singer’s next effort will be fully written and produced by him. It also marks the follow-up to 2017’s NAV, which includes just one feature from The Weeknd on “Some Way.”

His “Lately” single arrives just in time for NAV’s North American tour, which launches on Valentine’s Day in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Afterward, the artist is due to take over cities like Detroit, New York, Atlanta, Dallas, Seattle, and Phoenix with special guests SoFaygo and RealestK. He’ll also make stops in Vancouver, BC on March 12th and his final performance will take place in Toronto on April 11th.

For the Never Sleep tour’s last night in the 6ix, NAV will perform alongside R&B star Bryson Tiller. On the latter’s Demons Protected By Angels album, he linked up with the Kentucky-born singer to craft their “Reset” track. It remains unclear if the latter will make any appearances on the upcoming NAV 2 album, but here’s hoping.

Lyrics

[Intro]
It’s gon’ be okay (Okay)
What do you want from me?
You gotta let me do my thing
Baby, you see me shinin’ (Okay, yeah, oh)

[Chorus]
Lately, I just wanna be by myself
I can’t hold it in, it’s burnin’ (Burnin’)
I’m the only one that’s earnin’
So let me do what I want (Yeah)
Lately, I just wanna be by myself
I can’t hold it in, it’s burnin’ (Burnin’)
I’m the only one that’s earnin’
So let me do what I want (Yeah)

[Verse 1]
Can’t put ’em down, I’m turnin’ up (Turn up)
Shit, I’m thinkin’ ’bout, got me stuck (Stuck)
I got money now, so love is cheap
You should do somethin’ with yourself, always worried ’bout me (What you worried about me for? Yeah)
I done got you bags, got you bags galore
So why you botherin’ me, botherin’ me for? (Why you bothеrin’ me?)
When we go in thе store, get whatever you want (Whatever you want)
So when I stay out late, let me do what I want

[Pre-Chorus]
Go to my city, tell me what we ain’t done in it (Yeah)
We can go to the club, long as I have fun in it
If you play with my baby, get yellow-taped (Frrp)
But lately, you been on my back, so I need some space

[Chorus]
Lately, I just wanna be by myself
I can’t hold it in, it’s burnin’ (Burnin’)
I’m the only one that’s earnin’
So let me do what I want (Yeah)
Lately, I just wanna be by myself
I can’t hold it in, it’s burnin’ (Burnin’)
I’m the only one that’s earnin’
So let me do what I want (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
Shawty got real flaws with a flawless face
Why you worried about me? I’m only worried about gettin’ paid
Come and go when you want, let you do whatever you please
Look dead in your face, I could never replace you, I’m rollin’, babe (Rollin’)
Put this shit on your tongue if you wanna feel like me
Got a lot goin’ on, I know it’s hard to deal with me
Never let shit get to my head, I’m stayin’ solid
Baby, you can bet on me, I’m already all in

[Pre-Chorus]
Go to my city, tell me what we ain’t done in it (Yeah)
We can go to the club, long as I have fun in it
If you play with my baby, get yellow-taped (Frrp)
But lately, you been on my back, so I need some space

[Chorus]
Lately, I just wanna be by myself
I can’t hold it in, it’s burnin’ (Burnin’)
I’m the only one that’s earnin’
So let me do what I want (Yeah)
Lately, I just wanna be by myself
I can’t hold it in, it’s burnin’ (Burnin’)
I’m the only one that’s earnin’
So let me do what I want (Yeah)
