Dreams (Interlude) – ASAP Rocky


Yeah, yeah, yeah

It’s good

Oh shit

Mushrooms, LSD, marijuana

Light that shit

Oh shit

This is every heavy drug, that’s known at every level

This assault with deadly metal bumpin’ heavy metal

Do this for myself, across my hood and every ghetto

Paper pushin’, paper petal, cause I heavy petal

It’s real nigga flowin’ through my blood and every vessel

Time is money, so I saved the load on every bezel

I just had a dream, I dipped my watch canary yellow

I woke up and then I bought that bitch in every yellow

Let go back to business, my fits Prada for my Devil

Cause life’s a bitch with red lipstick and high stilettos

Flacko jumpin’ fences from pigs, with ’em them biscuits

I hypnotized my Sig, but my .38 was kinda special

What a life this is, what a sight this is

Where the darks and the light skin kids

Get along with the white persons

All alike when the lights get dim

On a righteous pass, where you don’t look back

Nigga spark your cig, niggas light your hash

Niggas light your spliff, where you puff, don’t pass, just sip it

I just had an epic dream like Dr. King

Police brutality was on my TV screen

Harmony, love, drugs, and peace is all we need

Harmony, love, drugs, and peace is all we need

Exploring the Introspective Vibe of “Dreams (Interlude)”

ASAP Rocky’s “Dreams (Interlude)” offers a raw and psychedelic glimpse into the rapper’s mind, blending vivid imagery with reflections on ambition, struggle, and fleeting moments of hope. The references to drugs like mushrooms, LSD, and marijuana set a dreamlike, surreal atmosphere, mirroring the blurred lines between reality and aspiration. Rocky touches on themes of material success, survival, and street life, with lines about buying luxury watches and dodging law enforcement, but these are contrasted with deeper yearnings for harmony and unity. The interlude’s standout moment is its nod to Martin Luther King Jr., positioning Rocky’s dreams as both personal ambitions and a vision for social peace where love and equality triumph over adversity. The repeated plea for harmony, love, drugs, and peace underscores a longing for transcendence and collective healing.
