A$AP Forever – ASAP Rocky


[A$AP Rocky & T.I.:]

Gang! Gang

They tryna front on the gang!

They going to remember my name

Ayy, anybody ever took the time to ask Rocky what A$AP mean to him?

Well if so, he’ll probably tell you, “Always Striving and Prospering”

A$AP, partna’! Free my nigga, Cap

R.I.P. Big Phil, R.I.P. A$AP Yams

Ya dig? (Gang!)

[A$AP Rocky:]

Come fuck with the Mob, shout out to the Lords and the Gods

In love with my bitch ’cause she bi

My ice like the stars, I tell that bitch, “Cover your eyes

‘Cause fuckin’ with me, you go blind”

She losin’ her mind, we kiss to Frank Ocean and Blonde

Convincin’ my bitch to go blonde

Was born in the dark, I kill you, you open my blinds

On Yams and that’s word to my moms

Margiela Madman with cases I’m still tryna beat

A bunch of shit from a long time ago

The bigger they are, the harder they fall

Like dominos, nigga, Geronimos

When it’s my time to go, adiós, vámonos

Flacko no Dominicano but eat the tostones with plátanos

Dealing with life and its highs and lows

I’m just pimpin’ like I’m supposed

I guess it’s called livin’, shit, I suppose

I’m on my live alone, die VLONE

Ain’t talkin’ ’bout spending or buyin’ clothes

I’m ’bout my business but I’m alone

I still had the vision when I was broke

Fuckin’ on bitches and foreign hoes

Flyin’ out womens to boring shows

I pray to God I don’t overdose

[A$AP Rocky with Kid Cudi:]

I put A$AP on my tat (Woo)

I put New York on the map

(Woo)

I put the gang on the flames (Woo)

They gon’ remember the name

They robbin’ boys for the chains (Woo)

I got Goyard by the sack

(Woo)

I got the boof by the pack (Woo)

I fucked your boo on her back

Gang! Gang! Them boys not flexing the same

I’m done with adjusting to fame, pull up on your set, leave a stain

Gang! Gang! I tell her come fuck with the gang

I tell ’em don’t fuck with the gang, it’s time to fuck up the whole game!

Hmm

[Kid Cudi:]

I’m free as a bird, I wanted this shit my whole life

But had all this stress on my mind

Until I realized, things pan out when it’s right

In the meantime I’ma grind

I think of them days when I was so young on my plight

Party and bullshit and play

Was up in the city, the one that’s surrounded by lights

Wanted to burn it away

Get out of his lane, got no time, don’t need no advice

Except for my momma

Ride for my daughter, she’s all I need

She got her father, as I grow

Hell yeah, I did it, I’m on a roll

Thought I’d be up with my nigga, no

I’m just gettin’ warmed up, let’s start the show

I’m schoolin’ these niggas, so in the zone and I’m rigged to blow

A$AP and Cud Life forever though

And I’m flossin’ and bossin’ these silly hoes

Learned the codes, serve up the magic for all of those

Kids that ain’t had someone on they own

Hang on the words, you each have your song

Grab on and hold on, won’t steer you wrong

Sing along, sing along, hmm

[A$AP Rocky:]

I put A$AP on my tat (Woo)

I put New York on the map

(Woo)

I put the gang on the flames (Woo)

They gon’ remember the name

They robbin’ boys for the chains (Woo)

I got Goyard by the sack

(Woo)

I got the boof by the pack (Woo)

I fucked your boo on her back (Woo)

Gang! Gang! Them boys not flexing the same

I’m done with adjusting to fame, pull up on your set, leave a stain

Gang! Gang! I tell her come fuck with the gang

I tell ’em don’t fuck with the gang, it’s time to fuck up the whole game!

(Game, game, game, game)

[A$AP Rocky & Khloe Anna:]

Gang, gang

They tryna front on the gang, they gon’ remember my name

True to truth somehow (Gang, gang)

But never truly lied at all, then and now

They tryna front on the gang

Truth somehow

Gang, A$AP boys come with the flame

But never truly lied at all, then and now

True to truth somehow

But never truly lied at all, then and now

[Khloe Anna & Moby:]

True to truth somehow

But never truly lied at all, then and now

True to truth somehow

But never truly lied at all, then and now

True to truth somehow

But never truly lied at all, then and now

True to truth somehow

But never truly lied at all, then and now

In my dreams, I’m dying all the time

True to truth somehow

But never truly lied at all

Then I wake, it’s kaleidoscopic mind

But never truly lied at all

But never truly lied at all, then and now

I never meant to hurt you (Then and now)

I never meant to lie

The Legacy and Brotherhood of A$AP

“A$AP Forever” by ASAP Rocky is an anthem of loyalty, ambition, and remembrance. The lyrics emphasize Rocky’s dedication to his crew, the A$AP Mob, and the principles that have guided his journey—”Always Striving and Prospering.” Throughout the song, Rocky reflects on his rise from humble beginnings, the trials he has faced, and the importance of staying true to his roots, even as fame and fortune grow. References to fallen friends and influential figures, like A$AP Yams, ground the track in a sense of brotherhood and legacy.

A Celebration of Identity and Resilience

The song also highlights the importance of authenticity and self-expression. Rocky openly discusses personal struggles, relationships, and his connection to New York, using vivid imagery to paint his unique narrative. Guest verses from Kid Cudi and the interpolation of Moby’s “Porcelain” add emotional depth, reinforcing themes of freedom, personal growth, and perseverance. Ultimately, “A$AP Forever” serves as both a tribute to the A$AP collective and a declaration of enduring influence.
