[Intro]
Comin' with the crocodile seats
Comin'—Comin' with the crocodile seats
Comin' with the crocodile seats
TVs wrappin' 'round screens
Fear or respect, how you act around me
If I'm real, respect how you act around me
Real—real, respect how you act around me
If I'm here in the flesh why you ask about me?

[Verse]
Chains so big, make me tuck your shit
Bitch so thick, make me touch your shit
Go fuck yourself while you at it, motherfucker
Been had it, let's get this shit crackin'
Now that you're distracted
Let's get this shit crackin'
Now I'm back like I never left
Yeah, niggas thought I was away, how I could do that?
I'm the wave, I thought you knew that
I'ma be paid till my braids got grey
Shit, I would have been the same, then my ways got changed
Could've been Illuminati, ain't done bein' Rocky, ain't done bein' cocky
Government tryna bring the flu to my body
So corona-viri, COVID-19
When it's stay away at home day nineteen
Goin' viral with my rival, goin' live with my rifle right beside me
By my bible with my right to wave a real ID
Now that you're distracted
Grab your guns and your loved one nigga
Yeah, we all down on out last while the government admit they tryna split us up
And folks are sick, this shit is sick as fuck
Bill Gates, rich as fuck
Every pawn need to duck
Now they pinning Donald Trump
What the, fuck? Distracted
My president ain't black but my Presidential black face, white bezel that I call that mixed race
Battle exploitation from the blacks like the slave's days, yeah
Can't believe everything I read
My vegan food ain't vegan, ain't no dairy in my cheese
But my shoes the latest season
Now that you're distracted

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.
