I know I dream about her all day
I think about her with her clothes off
I’m ridin’ ’round with my system bumpin’ LSD
I look for ways to say “I love you”
But I ain’t into makin’ love songs
Baby, I’m just rappin’ to this LSD
She ain’t a stranger to the city life
I introduced her to this hippy life
We make love under pretty lights, LSD (Acid)
I get a feelin’ it’s a trippy night
Them other drugs just don’t fit me right
Girl, I really fuckin’ want love, sex, dream
Another quarter to the face system
Make no mistakes, it’s all, a leap of faith for love
It takes a place in, feelin’ that you crave doin’ love, sex, dreams
It started in Hollywood
Dreamin’ of sharin’ love
My tongue at a loss for words
Cause my feelings just said it all
Party just started up
Dreamin’ of sharin’ worlds
Held this feeling for way too long
Said, “I really wanna let it go”
I’ve been gettin’ fly because the gimmick’s so dope
I’ve been getting high cause I figured Lord told me
I’ve been drinking, driving, now we’ll never go home
I gon’ stay in doubt because the weather’s so cold, oh
Feeling low sometimes when the light shines down
Makes me high
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
Feeling low sometimes when the light shines down
Makes me high
Can you feel it?
Can you feel it?
It started in Hollywood
Duh, duh-duh
Dreamin’ of sharin’ love
Duh, duh-duh
My tongue at a loss for words
Cause my feelings just said it all
I look for ways to say, “I love you”
But I ain’t into makin’ love songs
Baby, I’m just rappin’ to this LSD
L$D: A Psychedelic Love Story
ASAP Rocky’s “L$D” is a hypnotic journey through love, longing, and the altered states of mind that come with both romance and psychedelic experiences. The song’s lyrics intertwine the euphoria of infatuation with the trippy sensations associated with LSD, using the substance as a metaphor for the intoxicating nature of desire. Rocky paints vivid imagery of city nights, bright lights, and deep emotional cravings, blurring the boundaries between reality and fantasy. He expresses vulnerability through his search for ways to say “I love you,” admitting he isn’t typically drawn to traditional love songs but is compelled to share his feelings in his own way. The recurring motifs of dreams, escapism, and yearning for connection showcase the emotional complexity behind the song’s laid-back, dreamy production.
