[Bridge: A$AP Rocky & Frank Ocean]
Smooth dude riding✦ 'round the boulevard
Back in the days was on the train
Ride the bus before✦ I ride another nigga✦ wave
Beautiful, the water's✦ flat like asses✦ pre-Onika (Yeah)
You the smaller version, you the baby✦ sneaker
[Verse 3: A$AP Rocky]
Flacko,✦ I wonder✦ how it feel to live or be like you
Album number✦ three and keep it G like Q
Heard you niggas✦ get fly like G, like 2
Nah, more like 4, like 3, not 2
Shittin' on these niggas✦ like P, like U
Drip Raheem and Q, got Hi-C like juice
Mama✦ hubby✦ got life, he got three strikes too
Real niggas✦ bleed like me, like you
That's why I got a beam with a green light too
I don't even✦ make a scene, I just swing right through
I'm just stayin' on my Qs and my Ps like soup
Walkin'✦ in my shoes, follow✦ me like suit
[Pre-Chorus: A$AP Rocky]
Brotha✦ man, young man, let me tell you somethin'✦
Young man, brotha-brotha, gotta✦ fight for somethin'✦
Stand for somethin',✦ brotha✦ understand, God don't make the plays
Take the truth, get through, ride your wave, just keep the truth
[Chorus: French Montana & Frank Ocean]
Remember when I went to my brotha,✦ told him, "Help me please"
Now we hop out the PJs, posted✦ by the P
My old bitch yellin',✦ "Come back, come back
Come back, babe
Come back (Come back) come back (Come back)
Come back (Come back) babe"
[Outro: Frank Ocean]
You're a cornstar, all you fuck is corn broads (You fucking pop)
Frenchie faux pas 'cause you ain't had no pa
Your deal got catches like an outfielder
(Are you, are you, are you?)
Getting that God's view from towers✦
Lookin'✦ downward like I'm Donald Trump

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

The verse relies heavily on phonetic play and homophonic chains rather than deep metaphorical density, leaning into Rocky's signature relaxed, staccato delivery style.

Rhyme Architecture: Predominantly AAAAA scheme based on the phoneme '-oo', sustained through creative variations of consonants (Q, 2, 3, 4, U, juice, soup, suit).
Verified Doubles & Entendres

"stayin' on my Qs and my Ps like soup"

① Adhering to the idiom 'mind your P's and Q's' (behaving properly/cautiously).② A literal reference to alphabet soup, playing on the visual of the letters Q and P.

"Mama hubby got life, he got three strikes too"

① Refers to the legal 'three strikes' law resulting in life imprisonment for family.② A sports metaphor referencing baseball, where three strikes equate to being 'out' or removed from the game.

"Beautiful, the water's flat like asses pre-Onika"

① Describes the surface of the water as untextured/flat.② A cultural reference to Nicki Minaj (Onika), implying a time before the popularization of a specific aesthetic trend regarding gluteal augmentation.

Excellent rhythmic maintenance within the '-oo' vowel constraint

High level of internal rhyme density

Effective use of minimalist, punchy delivery to serve the groove

The rhyme scheme becomes somewhat repetitive and circular

Wordplay is occasionally dependent on forced phonetic alignment rather than clever subtext

Relies on 'name-dropping' as a primary structural anchor
