Loyalty and Resilience in NAV's 'TTD'
NAV's song 'TTD' delves into themes of loyalty, resilience, and the challenges of navigating success and relationships. The phrase 'ten toes down' is a recurring motif throughout the song, symbolizing steadfastness and unwavering support. NAV emphasizes the importance of having people around him who are genuinely loyal and committed, especially in the face of adversity. This is evident in lines like 'Keep a bad ass bitch and she always stays ten toes down,' where he highlights the reliability of his partner.
The song also touches on NAV's personal struggles and the lessons he's learned from past failures, or 'L's.' He mentions taking losses but using them as motivation to keep moving forward, as seen in the line 'Yeah I took a couple of L's so you know I'm on the road now.' This resilience is a key aspect of the song, reflecting NAV's determination to succeed despite setbacks. The lyrics also reveal a sense of paranoia and the need for vigilance, particularly in the line 'Because in the six they ain't playing fair shawty,' indicating the harsh realities of his environment.
NAV also addresses the fickleness of people who only show interest when he's successful. He questions the authenticity of these relationships, asking 'Is you really riding, girl you know I gotta know now.' This skepticism extends to former friends who now seek to benefit from his success, as he raps, 'You see me getting money now you wanna be my bro now.' The song paints a vivid picture of the complexities NAV faces in his personal and professional life, underscoring the importance of true loyalty and the challenges of maintaining it in a world where many are driven by self-interest.
