[Verse 2: A$AP Rocky & Ms. Lauryn Hill]
Memories burn the roaches (Mmm)
Cheer Hennessy for my old heads
Amphetamines for the dosage,✦ keepin'✦ me up and focused
Jewelry cloth, my gold caps
NY throwback like the old Fab (I'm undone✦ because)✦
Lost in the Google Maps in your iMac, think my phone tapped✦
Hold up, hold that (Hold on, my nigga,✦ hold that thought—) (I'm undone✦ because)✦ thought
Nigga,✦ pour up soda,✦ nigga,✦ hold that cough, tryna✦ hold back
The call had dropped when the FaceTime paused✦ (I'm undone✦ because),✦ don't call back
Can't cope when your heart broke, soft-spoken, roll somethin',✦ cop somethin',✦ Narco✦
Saint like Joan of Arc, bro, ring barcode
Two of everything,✦ should have been to blame when Noah's Ark broke (I'm undone✦ because)✦
Two more drinks of everything✦ before✦ the bar closed✦
Face-to-face with my demons at a barstool, Haven't checked on my niece in weeks
Months past and months in between since me and my sister✦ would speak, not a call or visit in weeks
Lost nothin'✦ since September,✦ last seen her September✦ '16
Man, it feels like... (I'm undone✦ because)✦
Lose someone every✦ release, it feels like the curse is in me (A$AP)
Press is gone and I grief, I share with you my peace
[Outro: Ms. Lauryn Hill]
I'm undone✦ because...✦
I'm undone✦ because...✦

Critic Analysis
RAPLEDGER BAROMETER™

ASAP Rocky utilizes a dense, phonetically-driven internal rhyme scheme that prioritizes sonic texture and atmosphere over traditional punchline structure, creating a hazy, modern aesthetic consistent with his 2018 stylistic evolution.

Rhyme Architecture: The verse relies on complex, nested internal rhymes (e.g., 'roaches/dosage/focused') paired with end-rhyme chains that evolve through long-vowel sounds ('closed/broke/spoke/Narco/barcode'), creating a fluid, rhythmic progression that mirrors the song's themes of instability and searching.
Verified Doubles & Entendres

"NY throwback like the old Fab"

① A reference to the retro sports jerseys popularized in New York hip-hop culture.② A nod to Fabolous, a quintessential New York rapper known for his style and wordplay, creating a dual layer of nostalgia.

"Saint like Joan of Arc, bro, ring barcode"

① Comparing himself to a martyr or saint figure (Joan of Arc) while maintaining a hardened, nihilistic exterior.② A transition to the commercialized aspect of his life, where his identity or 'saintliness' is commodified and tagged like retail items.

"Two of everything, should have been to blame when Noah's Ark broke"

① A biblical allusion to the flood and the preservation of pairs.② A commentary on his own excess and the self-destructive cycle of consuming two of everything at the bar, equating his personal downfall to a catastrophic failure of divine proportion.

High density of internal phonetic connections

Strong atmospheric consistency

Effective use of assonance to drive the momentum

Occasional loss of narrative cohesion due to heavy rhyme-word reliance

Under-utilization of higher-level metaphors

Some phrasing feels forced to satisfy the rhyme scheme
