[Intro]
Jewelry store
Run Forest, run
We ain't see the chopper, why you playin' with the gun?
Run Forest, run Forest, run
Feel like Forrest Gump, when they put him in the trunk

[Refrain]
Mister, nosy reporter, ain't missed ya
Fuck off my line, get the fuck off my dick, I set trends
Been legit, since a lil' git
Hoe by my side and fo-fo on my hip (Pistol mean)

[Chorus]
When I hit the lean, it gets the best of me (I ain't goin')
Won't let this LSD get the best of me (Hell no, I ain't goin')
Won't let amphetamines get the best of me (I ain't goin')
Won't let my legacy be the best of me (Hell no, I ain't goin', woo)
Blowing through my desks of trees, my destiny (I ain't goin')
Working on a better me, do what's best for me (Hell no, I ain't goin', woo)
Won't let these haters be the fucking death of me (I ain't goin')
Won't-won't let me get ahead of me (Hell no, I ain't goin', uh)

[Verse 1]
Penitentiary visions, my chemistry pitch a flux
I mean, "Who are we kidding?" Surpassed my grade and above
Ain't a mil? Then I'm walking, be sure to pay me my bucks
This ain't the NBA baby, you can't 2k me, I'm up
Can't NFL me like Trump, just "Gucci Gang" me like Pump
Like Gucci Mane with a cup, my Gucci came with a pump
My Coogi fit me like Puff, like Gucci rap off the snuff
Try and take pics of me in clubs, those end up off the drugs

[Chorus]
Won't let the lean get the best of me (I ain't goin')
Won't let this LSD get the best of me (Hell no, I ain't goin')
Won't let amphetamines get the best of me (I ain't goin')
Won't let my legacy be the best of me (Hell no, I ain't goin', woo)
Blowing through my desks of trees, my destiny (I ain't goin')
Working on a better me, do what's best for me (Hell no, I ain't goin', woo)
Won't let these haters be the fucking death of me (I ain't goin')
Won't-won't let me get ahead of me (Hell no, I ain't goin', uh)

[Verse 2]
Won't give niggas my back just for a nigga to stab
Or wife one of these nats, just for a nigga to smash
Behind my back, on my behalf, I ain't hearin', "Oh my bad"
Tryna take it on, expect to give them your last
Ever since my sobriety, it's like I've been in my bag
Toast with a glass, invite the ghost of my past
I'd rather smoke opponents, your grade was closer to ash
The masses taking notes, so why nosy folks wanna ask

[Refrain]
Mister, nosy reporter, ain't missed ya
Fuck off my line, get the fuck off my dick, I set trends
Been legit, since a lil' git
Hoe by my side and fo-fo on my hip (Pistol mean)

[Chorus]
When I hit the lean, it gets the best of me (I ain't goin')
Won't let this LSD get the best of me (Hell no, I ain't goin')
Won't let amphetamines get the best of me (I ain't goin')
Won't let my legacy be the best of me (Hell no, I ain't goin', woo)
Blowing through my desks of trees, my destiny (I ain't goin')
Working on a better me, do what's best for me (Hell no, I ain't goin', woo)
Won't let these haters be the fucking death of me (I ain't goin')
Won't-won't let me get ahead of me (Hell no, I ain't goin', uh)

Rakim Athelaston Mayers (named after “The God MC” Rakim), better known by his stage name, A$AP Rocky, hails from Harlem, New York. He is no stranger to the cliché rap lifestyle, popularized by fellow Harlem Patriarchs, from Big L and Kool Moe Dee to Mase and Cam'ron. However, Rocky’s melodic rap style has drawn more immediate comparisons to recently incarcerated Harlemite Max B.

Rocky’s career began in 2007, when he joined the Harlem-based A$AP Mob, founded by A$AP Yams, A$AP Bari and A$AP Illz. Rocky was projected into fame in 2011 following the release of his debut mixtape LIVE.LOVE.A$AP, which featured hits like “Peso” and “Purple Swag,” and earned him a record deal with RCA Records.

His debut studio album, Long. Live. A$AP was released in 2013, after several pushbacks by his label. Long.Live.A$AP was thought to exceed the promises of his debut mixtape, preserving Rocky’s immaculate taste while smartly upgrading his sound.
