[Verse 2: A$AP Rocky]
Uh, Father,✦ Lord forgive me as I load up the semi
Roll through the city,✦ that chose to resent me
Hold it, don't load it, reload✦ it on plenty✦
Any✦ foe or a [beep] that ever✦ voted✦ against✦ me, dissed✦ me
Pissed✦ me off then tried to hold it against✦ me
Or wish we off the worst of luck that ever✦ hated✦
Never✦ hesitated,✦ the designated,✦ all of the wrong that they did me
Is stored✦ in my memory✦ all of the thoughts that I thought of
Means more for my enemies✦
Sippin'✦ holy✦ water✦ like it's bore from my kidneys
Load the smoke like a chimney, make a toast for the memories✦
Make a toast for the Henny,✦ it's the best for the remedies✦
Energy,✦ synergy, frienemies,✦ industries✦
Finna✦ get advantage on him and his nemesis, bitches been sniffing (Flacko✦ Jodye Season)✦
If I, if I ain't the greatest, bitch I'm one of 'em
How in the fuck could you front on 'em?
My old ho beefin',✦ my ex won't be friends
Bronson told me not to eat ham, rest in peace Yams (Rest in peace, Yams)
[Chorus: Acyde]
Gotta✦ find my way back home
I've been away✦ too long
Gotta✦ find my way back home
I've been away✦ too long
Gotta✦ find my way back home
I've been away✦ too long
Gotta✦ find my way back home
I've been away✦ too long
[Break: A$AP Rocky]
Rest in peace Yams, RIP A$AP Yamborghini✦
We gon' take it uptown one time
We gon' take em back home, show 'em how we do
They call me Pretty✦ Flacko✦ ladies✦ and gentlemen
I'd like to introduce Pretty✦ Flacko✦ Senior
Yasiin✦ Bey
[Verse 3: Yasiin Bey]
Magnum spectacular, black man megalas
Shine amethyst, fly champion, it's like that again✦
What's happenin'? Mathematics master✦ blin'
Flacko✦ season,✦ all day, erryday
Ask me how it's going, I tell 'em on and on and on and on and
You led me out to Arizona, steady✦ flowin',✦ stayin' golden✦
Sand cover,✦ ready✦ rover,✦ Flacko✦ glowin'✦ in that Owens
That's how it's going (Gotta✦ find my way back home)
Huh, awareness to the areas, familiar with the routes✦
Travellin' man, moving✦ through places✦
Space and time, in a country called✦ Earth
[Outro: A$AP Yams]
You know what I mean? These tacky-ass mo'fuckers✦ be in the pictures
Wearing all types✦ of motherfuckin'✦ red and green stripes
Over✦ accessorizing out this motherfucker✦
We from Harlem, we gave y'all motherfuckers✦ this wave
Grab y'all surfboards, 'cause y'all got your boogie boards right now out this motherfucker✦
Y'all just gon' keep watching us at the beach shore
With your motherfuckin'✦ khakis✦ rolled✦ up
With your chancletas in your hand
And we just gon' keep surfing on this motherfucker✦
Straight up
It's your boy, A$AP Yams, Yamborghini✦
Yo, Rock, man, let these motherfuckers✦ know what it is
Out this motherfucker,✦ A$AP, bitch

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"Sippin' holy water like it's bore from my kidneys"

① A metaphorical cleansing or seeking purity in a corrupt environment.② A play on 'boar' or 'born' relative to biological waste, implying the toxicity of his lifestyle or environment processed within him.

"Load the smoke like a chimney"

① Physical act of firing weapons (smoke).② The continuous, habitual consumption of substances represented by the constant output of a chimney.

Masterful control of internal rhyme density

Exceptional rhythmic presence that drives the verse forward

Effective use of breath and cadence variations to highlight specific phonetic clusters

Strong structural cohesion within the rhyme scheme

Lyrical content leans heavily into standard rap tropes (enemies, Hennessy, industry woes)

Lack of high-level intellectual or metaphorical depth

Reliance on phonetic connectivity at the expense of thematic development

Some punchlines rely on simple name-drops or superficial observations
