Turks (feat. Gunna & Travis Scott)

NAV's song 'Turks,' featuring Gunna and Travis Scott, is a vivid portrayal of the opulent lifestyle that comes with success in the music industry, juxtaposed with the harsh realities of their past lives. The song opens with NAV reflecting on his journey from the streets to stardom, emphasizing how his humble beginnings have shaped him into a 'beast.' The lyrics highlight his newfound wealth, with mentions of expensive jewelry, high-end fashion, and luxurious vacations. The recurring line 'Took twenty bitches on my first vacay' underscores the extravagant lifestyle that NAV now enjoys, a stark contrast to his earlier struggles.

Gunna's verse continues this theme of luxury and success, but also touches on the ever-present dangers that come with their lifestyle. He mentions always carrying a Glock and avoiding interactions with the police, indicating that despite their wealth, they are still cautious and aware of the risks. The line 'You ain't got no money but you poppin' on your page' criticizes those who flaunt a false image of success on social media, highlighting the authenticity of their own achievements. Gunna's references to syrup and Percocet also hint at the darker side of their lifestyle, where substance use is prevalent.

Travis Scott's verse adds another layer to the narrative, focusing on the importance of loyalty and trust within their circle. He emphasizes the need to ensure that the people around them are reliable and supportive. The line 'Make sure the ones you with on go' suggests that trust and loyalty are crucial in their world. Travis also touches on the theme of transformation, both personal and professional, as he navigates his way through fame and success. The song as a whole paints a picture of a life filled with luxury and excess, but also one that is deeply rooted in the realities of their past and the challenges they continue to face.
