REAL ME Lyrics

[Intro: NAV & Young Thug]
(Metro)
Your call has been forwarded to voicemail
The person you’re trying to reach is not available
At the tone, please record your message
Ooh-oh

[Verse 1: NAV]
Pick up the phone when I call (Call)
Pick up the phone when I’m callin’ you
Girl, I hate it when you stall (Stall)
Girl, I hate all of the stallin’ you do
Sippin’ on lean, it’s outdated
When I come down, you the greatest
You make me see clear when I’m faded
Whenever I’m high, I don’t see you
But when I come down, girl, I need you
When you say you love me, I believe you
You know that I’m showin’ up
Whenever I’m comin’ down

[Pre-Chorus: NAV]
When I’m comin’ down, tell me that you need me
When I’m comin’ down, I want you to see me
When I’m comin’ down, baby, that’s the real me
When I’m comin’ down, I need you to feel me
When you not around, this shit could get depressin’
When I’m comin’ down, that’s when I learn my lessons
When I’m comin’ down, I need you to see me
When I’m comin’ down, baby, that’s the real me

[Chorus: NAV]
That’s the real me (Real me)
That’s the real me (Real me)
That’s the real me (Real me)
That’s the real me
That’s the real me
That’s the real me (Real me)

[Verse 2: NAV]
Girl, I need you, pick up your phone (Pick it up)
Girl, I need you, tell me you’re home (Tell me you’re home)
Girl, don’t you ever leave me alone (Leave me)
That’s some shit that I could never condone
It’s 6 a.m. on the dot
Parked the foreign outside your spot
I really don’t do this a lot
But tonight, girl, you all I got
Tonight, girl, you all I need
You the only one that match my speed
I’m the one that put Rick on your feet
‘Cause I make you wake up out of your sleep
Pull up on me, I need you right now
I’ll leave the stu’ at 6, it’s 2 right now
Shawty I’m stuck, don’t wanna talk right now
My jaw gettin’ sore, I been bitin’ down
Pull up with your friends, I get all of ’em lit
If I bring my friends, I get all of ’em hit
In the mornin’, help me count this cheddar
When I’m comin’ down, ain’t no one better

[Pre-Chorus: NAV]
When I’m comin’ down, tell me that you need me
When I’m comin’ down, I want you to see me
When I’m comin’ down, baby, that’s the real me
When I’m comin’ down, I need you to feel me
When you not around, this shit could get depressin’
When I’m comin’ down, that’s when I learn my lessons
When I’m comin’ down, I need you to see me
When I’m comin’ down, baby, that’s the real me

[Chorus: NAV]
That’s the real me (Real me)
That’s the real me (Real me)
That’s the real me (Real me)
That’s the real me
That’s the real me
That’s the real me (Real me)

REAL ME Lyrics Meaning

[Intro: NAV & Young Thug]
The song begins with a voicemail recording, symbolizing a lack of response from someone NAV desperately wants to reach. The automated message creates an immediate sense of detachment and loneliness, setting the tone for the emotional plea that follows.

[Verse 1: NAV]
NAV expresses frustration over being ignored, emphasizing his need for immediate attention. He contrasts his perception while intoxicated versus when sober, implying that substances cloud his judgment, but once they wear off, his feelings of love and attachment become undeniable. The verse highlights his dependency on his partner, as he sees her as a stabilizing force in his life.

[Pre-Chorus: NAV]
Here, NAV reflects on his emotional vulnerability, admitting that his truest self emerges when he’s no longer under the influence. He craves reassurance and emotional presence from his partner, fearing the loneliness that comes with sobriety. The repetition reinforces the idea that his lowest moments reveal his deepest truths.

[Chorus: NAV]
The chorus serves as a mantra, emphasizing that his “real” self is not the one altered by substances but the one seeking genuine connection. The minimalistic yet repetitive lyrics reinforce the weight of his emotions, making the message feel raw and unfiltered.

[Verse 2: NAV]
NAV’s desperation intensifies as he physically shows up at his partner’s location, emphasizing the extent of his emotional need. His lavish gifts and material gestures indicate an attempt to maintain the relationship, but his true desire is for companionship rather than superficial exchanges. The line about bringing friends and partying contrasts with his deeper emotional struggle, highlighting a sense of emptiness masked by indulgence.

[Pre-Chorus: NAV]
Reiterating his earlier sentiments, NAV reinforces the importance of his partner’s presence during his most vulnerable moments. He acknowledges that clarity comes when he’s coming down, suggesting a cycle of temporary highs followed by emotional realizations.

[Chorus: NAV]
The repetition of “that’s the real me” solidifies the song’s theme, leaving the listener with a lingering sense of longing. NAV presents his unfiltered emotions, emphasizing that his true self is not the one numbed by external influences but the one desperately seeking connection.
