NAV’s ‘6AM Thoughts’ dives deep into the complexities of relationships, laced with a mix of lust, regret, and yearning. The song’s main theme revolves around a tumultuous love affair where the physical connection is intense, but trust and emotions are shaky.
The opening lines, ‘Put the frame ‘pon the wall cah you worth it,’ show appreciation and admiration for the girl. However, there’s a hint of nervousness and vulnerability with ’42, poor eh up, kinda nervous.’ The mention of ’42’ refers to Don Julio 1942 tequila, hinting at trying to calm his nerves with alcohol.
NAV acknowledges the girl’s physical allure, saying, ‘Nah lie, type a body haffi worship,’ emphasizing how her beauty captivates him. He also admits to lurking and reminiscing about times when she ignored him, ‘When you out with your friends, I be lurkin’, ‘Memba times in the past, used to curve mi.’
The next verse shifts to the sexual relationship. NAV’s explicit lines like ‘I need it, I’m fiendin’, this lil’ bitch is a demon’ and ‘pussy so good, therapeutic’ reveal the physical intensity. However, he shows skepticism about her feelings, ‘Every time she tell me she love me, I never believe it.’
He expresses a sense of coldness and mistrust, ‘At a point, my heart so cold, anemic,’ reflecting emotional damage. The use of ‘anemic’ and ‘freezin” underscores how deeply he’s been hurt.
NAV’s description of the girl’s behavior is raw and unfiltered, ‘She the type to write your phone, blow it up, be fiendin’,’ showing her clinginess. He contrasts this with his own indifference, ‘I’m the type to watch her call, act like I ain’t see it.’
The hook reiterates the physical attraction, ‘Know I like when you suck, when you slurp it, when you whine ‘pon the cocky, you so perfect.’ Despite the sexual praise, there’s an underlying sense of nervousness and doubt, ‘Pussy so good, make a nigga nervous.’
NAV mentions using drugs, ‘Pop a yidda and it get me in my Birkin.’ ‘Yidda’ is slang for a pill, and ‘Birkin’ means getting into his zone. The drug use signifies trying to escape reality or enhance the experience.
Cash Cobain’s verse continues the theme of sexual dominance and the struggle for emotional control. He speaks on regretting their physical encounters, ‘And every time I splash in her, I regret it.’
The mention of ‘boomerangs at dinner, put my chain on you on my Finsta’ shows a blend of public display and private intimacy. Finsta refers to a private Instagram account where users post content they don’t want to share on their main profile.
NAV wraps up by revisiting his admiration and nervousness, ‘Put the frame ‘pon the wall cah you worth it,’ but there’s still that hint of unease, ’42, poor eh up, kinda nervous.’ He repeats the feeling of lurking and remembering past rejections.
Overall, ‘6AM Thoughts’ is a candid portrayal of a relationship where the physical aspect is on fire, but trust and emotions are on shaky ground. NAV and Cash Cobain navigate this tumultuous love affair, balancing lust with lingering doubts.
