[Verse 1: A$AP Rocky]

Bloody ink on my pad spelled suicide
Michael Jackson even passed cause you scrutinized
F–k illuminati lies, say I’m lucified
Baptised in the gutter, motherf–ker you decide
Cause the ride come with doors that be suicide?
Or the thighs on my wh–es, they be super-sized?
Good and bad happen, wars, n—a chose a side
Now all hail to the Lord like you do to God
Who am I? Lord Flacko
Painting vivid pictures, call me Basquiat Picasso
Capo Head Honcho, now my following’s colossal
Ain’t no boxer, Pacquiao, but got the chopper todo caso
It’s like you heard, God spoke
I’ve seen the ghetto gospel
The fire like my reefer and the preacher got my eyes low
Sister Mary Jane to make me see from singing high notes
The bible or the rifle… goodnight folks

“Lines”
from Big Boi’s 2012 release Vicious Lies And Dangerous Rumors
Now that’s what I’m talking ’bout
Year of the ASAP Mob

[Verse 1: ASAP Rocky]
Lines – tell them read between it
Tripping while I’m slipping, busy fighting off these demons
Listen while I’m spitting boy, you probably won’t believe it
But life is so terrific, tell them pinch me if I’m dreaming
Revenue’s what I get get, your b—h is what I did hit
And I’m bout my business, them pesos what I did get
Made a hit, had a fix, they saying you’s the shiznit
Tell them get off my diznick, you bucketheaded b—-es
Crossing all the lines, time is only racing time
He flippin to the bars so I’m only raising mine
Depending on the grind is the only way to shine
So I’m feeling like that odds is the only state of mind
And it’s finna give me peace, life up in these streets
Equipped with a piece, case you n—s wanted beef
Cause man gave us laws and God gave us time
It’s the art of storytelling and I’m only telling mine
