[Verse 2: A$AP Rocky]
Riding✦ through your city✦ like that motherfucker✦ mine
Or toting✦ on that semi, rob a motherfucker✦ blind
License plate says wipe me down, car from 1989
But a nigga✦ sits so pretty✦ call that motherfucker✦ fine
Lost your motherfucking mind, what's on your mind?
Niggas talking✦ down, never✦ talk to cops
Make him talk to God when I tote that 9, he ain't talking✦ now
Tell 'em watch your spine, I mean watch your back
Better✦ guide your track, better✦ not look back
Then stay in line, don't step on cracks
So you break her back, I'm talking✦ 'bout your mom (Uh)
'Cause there's✦ killers in my town (Uh)
Making✦ hits, sniffing lines✦ (Yeah)
Out committing crimes✦ (Yeah)
Wait for shit to simmer✦ down (Uh)
Corrupted little minds (Yeah)
8 and 9, finna✦ shine (Yeah)
On the grind
Do you dirty✦ with that shimmy✦ shimmy✦ ya (Uh)
Where they shoot without a purpose
Services 'n hearses
Kids who ain't deserve it
Can't survive a thing, you're worthless
Strangers make me nervous
Who's that peekin'✦ in my window✦ with a pistol to my curtains?
[Chorus: A$AP Rocky]
Who said you can't live forever✦ lied
Of course, I'm living✦ forever✦
I'll forever,✦ I'll live long
You can't ever✦ deny✦ my force
I'm living✦ forever✦
I'll forever,✦ I'll live
[Bridge: A$AP Rocky]
Pretty✦ nigga✦ rich, Flacko✦ be the shit
And that bitch know we poppin'✦ so she poppin'✦ on this dick
Nigga,✦ RIP to Pimp, can't forget Little Flip
And I take it out to Memphis
And shout out to Triple Six
[Chorus: A$AP Rocky & KUČKA]
Who said you can't live forever✦ lied
Of course, I'm living✦ forever✦
I'll forever,✦ I'll live long
You can't ever✦ deny✦ my force
I'm living✦ forever✦
I'll forever,✦ I'll live

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"License plate says wipe me down"

① A reference to the iconic Boosie Badazz song 'Wipe Me Down', signaling regional affiliation.② A literal description of the car being 'clean' or well-maintained, fitting the '1989' classic car context.

"Make him talk to God when I tote that 9"

① A violent threat implying the target will be killed.② A play on 'talking to God' as a final moment of prayer or reflection in the face of mortal danger.

"Do you dirty with that shimmy shimmy ya"

① A literal description of a violent action (doing someone dirty).② A direct lyrical homage to ODB's 'Shimmy Shimmy Ya', contextualizing Rocky's style within the lineage of NYC street rap.

Excellent integration of flow with the beat's rhythmic pocket

Strong use of internal rhyme clusters

Effective atmospheric delivery that mirrors the 'cloud rap' subgenre

Lyrical content occasionally drifts into generic trap tropes

Some multi-syllabic rhymes feel prioritized over narrative coherence
