Out Of This World – ASAP Rocky


Olympicks, Olympicks, Olympicks, Olympicks

Uh, alright

Get money addict, I’ma get “Money” tatted

Money in the attics, money in the stashes

Money in the cabinets, stuffed in the mattress

Safe full of guns, more money up in that shit

Taz Arnold TI$A, Jeremy Scott Adidas

Maison Martin Margiela, three strap sneakers

Riding with a leecher, student and a teacher

It’s money over bitches, no room for a skeezer

Thinking of a Lambo, Bathing Ape camo

Play with the money, turn Rocky into Rambo

Patience is a virtue, life is a handful

Friends, they’ll hurt you, learned that from my grandfolks

Me under a lamp post, while I got my hands closed

Haze to my brains like eggs, got it scrambled

Yeah I feel Rihanna, and I understand Hov

What you think I rap for? To push a fucking Land Rove?

Now I’m looking back when you said I shouldn’t rap

Some slept on me, other niggas took a nap

Now I’m in the basement, probably cooking crack

Gave you teaspoons full but instead you took a cap

They say Tyga and Diggy, but Rocky been jiggy

Curren$y from the Wiz ain’t enough to get me home

Can’t really hate when they compare me to Drake

Could have been J. Cole if I met Jay Hov

(Who dat? ASAP) But I’m fly like I never left

You’s a lie, like fly without the letter F

If hip hop is dead, fuck it, let it rest

Reincarnated through me when she resurrect

Long hair, blue jeans, live on U-Stream

High top boots like Pac in a Juice scene

No, it ain’t a movie, diamonds in my new gleam

Dead tone cause the redbones is my new thing

Nigga, I do things, let the coupe sing

Niggas say I’m insane, Saddam Hussein

Niggas still jokers, me, I’m on my Bruce Wayne (Uh)

Fly kicks, my shit (Uh) yeah, I’m on that Liu Kang

I ain’t bragging but I do this, my shoes is Bermudas

I’m bougie in that Gucci but my nudies is my newest

And your foolishness and rumors, I give two shits

I only hear the money, so save the bullshit for the Q-tips

Swag is the coolest, my bitch is the rudest

My jeweler is Jewish and my wrist is the bluest

And I get it poppin’ on the block like Whoo Kid

A$AP standing on the block like the new kids

Uhh, A$AP nigga, uhh, uhh

Alright, yeah

A$AP nigga, uhh

Alright, alright
