[Chorus: A$AP Rocky & Joe Fox, A$AP Rocky]

And I'm a man of my word, that I got nothin'^✦ at all

So tell me now, does it hurt? Or is it too late? I'm a man of my law

I gotta^✦ keep my weight up. But where do I land if I fall?

But never^✦ mind, I'm fly, you know (Uh, uh)

[Verse 2: A$AP Rocky]

And shout outs my pretty^✦ womens^✦ in the spot tonight

Let me see them fuckin'^✦ hands

And for the freaks that love the niggas^✦ with the Jeeps

Lex, coupes^✦ and the Bimmers and the Benz, come again^✦

When my death calls, I pray the Lord accept collect calls

'Cause I be playin' with these womens^✦ like they sex dolls

Call my Prada^✦ prior, 'cause it's droppin' next fall

Don't you short the next ball, my closet^✦ like the Met ball

She said, "I just love it when you speak soft-spoken

Up in the magazines with your teeth all golden"^✦

Took the whole year off just to learn to make beats

Dropped the flames^✦ on my release and leave the streets all smokin'^✦ (Uh!)

That touch-your-soul music.^✦ I get you higher,^✦ grab your lighter fluid

Might add a preacher and a choir to it

I speak the Father's music,^✦ hallelujah^✦

Always Strive & Prosper, stupid,^✦ even^✦ Montell can't tell you how we do it

Sit back and watch me do it

[Chorus: A$AP Rocky & Joe Fox]

And I'm a man of my word, that I got nothin'^✦ at all

So tell me now, does it hurt? Or is it too late? I'm a man of my law

I gotta^✦ keep my weight up. But where do I land if I fall?

But never^✦ mind, I'm fly, you know (You know, you know)

[Part II]

[Intro: Smokey Robinson]

(Your love is mmm, mm, good)

[Verse 1: A$AP Rocky]

Okay,^✦ let's get past all the swag trappin' and fashion^✦ talkin'^✦

You want that "Take it to gats" or "Keep it in rappin'"^✦ talkin'?^✦

They rap impulsive, get embarrassed, it actually^✦ happens often^✦

You my son like my last abortion,^✦ I'm just laughin' off it

I changed rap, pushed^✦ fashion^✦ forward, yeah, I'm that important

You jack my style, she jack me off, and y'all both actin'^✦ awkward?

Jigglin', baby.^✦ Nah, go 'head, bitch

Ain't nothin'^✦ better^✦ than the pretty,^✦ big-forehead bitch

Listen^✦ close, I got some shit to tell you: Motherfuckers, get familiar^✦ (Familiar)^✦

It's not just model bitches on my genitalia^✦

Did Azalea's from Australia^✦ trips to Venezuela

Cinderella's under^✦ my umbrella for different weather

Ella,^✦ ella,^✦ aye, just play it like I didn't tell ya

Niggas^✦ takin'^✦ pictures any^✦ time we get together

And hope to fly away^✦ just one day like some love birds

Only^✦ one word that I'm afraid^✦ of is the "Love" word

[Verse 2: Kanye West & Smokey Robinson]

(Your love is mmm, mm, good)

More power^✦ to you, more power^✦ to you, my lovely^✦ one

More power^✦ to you, more power^✦ to you, my lonely^✦ one

More power^✦ to you, more power^✦ to you, my lovely^✦ one

What's up, bruh? That all depends

With friends like you, who need friends?

Sometimes, the best advice^✦ is no advice^✦

Especially^✦ when it's yo' advice^✦

Uh! Man, remember^✦

Your man was on stage dressed like a family^✦ member^✦

Man, everything basic^✦ to 'Ye Guevara

That means Saint Laurent is my Zara^✦

I remember^✦ Rochelle ain't wanna^✦ fuck me with the polo^✦

Aye, bitch, you missed^✦ out! #fomo^✦

I got one child, one child

But I'm fuckin',^✦ fuckin',^✦ fuckin'^✦ like I'm tryna^✦ make four more

They wanna^✦ throw me under^✦ a white jail

'Cause I'm a black man with confidence of a white male. Hallelujah^✦

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"I pray the Lord accept collect calls"

① A literal reference to the traditional phrase 'pray the Lord my soul to take' adjusted for his lifestyle.② A financial play on 'collect calls', implying the Lord should accept his late-in-life or desperate attempts at communication.

"Call my Prada prior, 'cause it's droppin' next fall"

① He calls his Prada clothing 'prior' because he acquires it before it is officially released to the public.② A time-based play on 'prior' (before) and the fashion season 'next fall'.

"my closet like the Met ball"

① A simile suggesting his collection of clothes is as prestigious and vast as the annual Met Gala exhibition.② An auditory pun where the 'Met Ball' (Met Gala) serves as an upscale venue comparison for his wardrobe's variety.

Exceptional rhythmic consistency and flow pocket

Sophisticated internal rhyming that elevates simple subject matter

Strong vocal delivery characterized by relaxed confidence

Some lyrical content leans heavily on established tropes of luxury rap

Lacks deep thematic complexity compared to high-concept conceptual lyricism
