[Refrain: A$AP Rocky & Wayne Duvall]
Church bells and choir sounds, tell 'em, "Quiet down"
Bow your head, the Most High's around, Lord
(These things are not right, these things is not right, Hell!) Lord
(Nobody's ever✦ defined) Lord
[Verse 2: A$AP Rocky]
The pastor✦ had a thing for designer glasses✦
Yeah, I'm talkin'✦ fancy✦ plates✦ and diamond glasses✦
The ushers keep skimmin' the collection baskets
And they tryna dine us with some damn wine and crackers
Who's more important than your Lord and Savior?✦
Won't let the pearly✦ gates✦ up in this probably due to all your poor behavior
My mental got a couple tips to save ya
Just be sure to count it as my only✦ favor,✦ thank me later,✦ uh
Every✦ night, I stayed up sayin' prayer, made me greater, uh
Let's savior✦ chasin'✦ green for collard greens and baked✦ potatoes
On the table, pray for cable, hit the label, now, we major,✦ high
I got my own relationship with God, Lord
[Chorus: Joe Fox & A$AP Rocky, Joe Fox]
Holy✦ Ghost, I'm on my knees, I'm on my knees
Holy✦ Ghost, you're all I need, you're all I need
Holy✦ Ghost, I'm on my knees, I'm on my knees
Holy✦ Ghost, (Let me down, let me down, let me down) you're all I need, you're all I need (Let me down, let me down, down)
Holy✦ Ghost, (Let me down, let me down, let me down) I'm on my knees, I'm on my knees (Let me down, let me down, down)

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

Rocky uses a contrastive structure between organized religion's corruption and his personal, unmediated spirituality, anchored by a conversational yet rhythmic flow that emphasizes social commentary over dense lyrical abstraction.

Rhyme Architecture: The verse relies heavily on AAAA-style multi-syllabic end-rhyme chains (e.g., 'glasses', 'baskets', 'crackers') creating a percussive, triplet-leaning flow that anchors the listener before transitioning into looser, narrative-driven internal rhyme sets.
Verified Doubles & Entendres

"savior chasin' green"

① The literal, spiritual Savior being invoked in the church setting.② A homophone play on 'savoring' or pursuing wealth (money/green).

"designer glasses / diamond glasses"

① Fashion accessories denoting status and vanity.② A literal observation of the pastor's luxury items paired with the metaphorical 'diamond glasses' suggesting the distorted, materialistic lens through which the church views salvation.

Effective juxtaposition of religious iconography with materialist critique

Consistent, rhythmic pocket placement

Clear, narrative-driven flow that avoids over-complication

Limited semantic depth in certain punchlines

Reliance on predictable 'trap' cadence patterns which reduces the potential impact of the critique

Some rhymes feel forced to maintain the multi-syllabic end-rhyme chain
