[Verse 1: A$AP Rocky & Devonté Hynes]

Look, I got a text from this girl I used^✦ to see

Sayin' that she chose this other^✦ guy with whom she wanna^✦ be with

Look, I apologize, but this message fucked^✦ me up

Then I would skeet-skeet every^✦ girl after^✦ replying, "Best of luck to ya"

Fast forward couple months I'm like, "Wassup witcha?"^✦

'Cause somethin' changed^✦ I know ya feel it (Feel it)

But really^✦ it's been a lil' minute^✦

Ain't nothin'^✦ changed^✦ but the address

My neighbors hate how I be livin'^✦ (Livin')^✦

Mad it's a loud rich nigga^✦ in the buildin'

Like fuck all the other^✦ tenants (Runnin')^✦

Bought mines,^✦ boy, you rentin'^✦ (Runnin')^✦

Rich niggas^✦ in their feelings^✦ (Runnin')^✦

Bitch niggas^✦ in their feelings^✦ (Woo)

Bags packed,^✦ knapsack packed^✦ like I'm leavin'^✦ home

They ain't wanna^✦ let me go, I guess you need me more

I was on the road on tour (Tour)

She just said I changed^✦ for the worst (She just said I changed)^✦

Rain flags, rain backs, fact guess you need it more

Had to let your heart go, I guess you need it more

[Bridge 2: A$AP Rocky and MGMT]

I'm going through changes^✦

Sweetest smile

Always changing phases^✦

Upside^✦ down

I'm going through phases^✦

I'll be cruel to you

I'm going through changes^✦

Don't know if you love me or not

[Part II]

[Verse 2: A$AP Rocky]

These ain't monkey^✦ bars from no fuckin'^✦ kiddy^✦ parks

Itchin'^✦ with the chicky^✦ pox, nigga^✦

Shittin' on 'em, need my litty^✦ box

Mink on, see the fox

(Oh, that's how you feel, nigga)^✦

'03 Bentley Park, by the candy^✦ shop, Vicky,^✦ Vicky^✦ Fox

Time to give them what they want

Rakim Allah mixed^✦ with Biggie, Pac

Weird nigga^✦ from the block, ugh

Square bitches give me box, ugh

She pussy^✦ pop to Iggy^✦ Pop

You pussy^✦ niggas^✦ really^✦ pop

[Bridge 3: A$AP Rocky & Devonté Hynes]

Thanks for the light, waitin'^✦ for the light

Changes^✦

Change for a lifetime (What a wonderful^✦ life)

Thanks for the night, drinks for the night

Changes^✦

Waitin'^✦ for the right time (What a wonderful^✦ life)

(Changed^✦ for the better^✦ changed^✦ for the worse)

So far I done been and feelin'^✦ change, changes^✦

[Part III]

[Verse 3: A$AP Rocky]

My biggest distraction is that I get distracted

People suing me for shit that didn't happen^✦

I wonder^✦ how the world would be if they didn't have me

(Fuck this shit)

Wake up to my explore page

See my exes^✦ engaged, or either^✦ gettin'^✦ married

Or had a baby^✦ with some nigga^✦

Or either^✦ three months, post-natal, postin'^✦ up that little nigga^✦ papi

I wonder^✦ if they really^✦ happy^✦ or just gettin'^✦ at me

[Chorus: A$AP Rocky & MGMT]

So long since I’ve seen her, she can feel a change in me

Change, she could feel a change in me

So long since I’ve seen her, she can feel a change in me

Change, she could feel a change in me

So long since I’ve seen her, she can feel a change in me

[Outro: A$AP Rocky]

Critic Analysis

RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

Rocky relies on a conversational, stream-of-consciousness flow that prioritizes atmosphere and authentic emotional projection over complex lyrical layering, resulting in a highly relatable but textually straightforward performance.

Delivery

Conversational cadenceInternal rhyme clustersDynamic vocal layeringRepetitive melodic anchoring

Rhyme Architecture: The verse utilizes a loose, conversational AABB-adjacent structure punctuated by high-frequency internal rhymes (e.g., 'livin', 'buildin', 'tenants', 'rentin'). The rhyme density increases significantly during the bridge, transitioning from a storytelling narrative to rhythmic, mantra-like repetition.

Verified Doubles & Entendres

"Ain't nothin' changed but the address"

① Physical change of residence due to financial success.② A defensive assertion that his core identity and character remain identical despite external success, refuting his partner's accusations.

"Bought mines, boy, you rentin'"

① A literal distinction between homeownership and leasing.② A status-based superiority claim, positioning his success as permanent and foundational versus the superficial or temporary status of his critics/neighbors.

High emotional resonance and vulnerability

Exceptional rhythmic integration and breath control

Effective use of background vocal layers to build tension

Seamless transition from narrative storytelling to rhythmic melodic bridge

Lacks deep metaphorical complexity or wordplay

Narrative arc is somewhat cliché

Vocabulary is intentionally simplified to favor colloquial realism over technical depth
