Young N***a Living
A$AP Mob Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Break a whole pound down, smell the smell
Word around town, they ringing bells
All my niggas cracking, lock the shells
Sweat pants on with the YSL
Might go Dipset Pelle Pell
All white on, the light snow
In the summer time my fly glow
Bitches on the guest list at my shows
In the mosh-pit throwing elbows
Day dream of getting that Phantom Rolls
Pour up, slow down, catch the flow
Bum niggas want to steal my clothes
Thirsty niggas want to fuck my hoes
Run up on me meet the .44
Mobbing ten deep in the Tahoe
Drug money, rap money, more dough
Pots caught me but the wrist game
Rap don't work, flip cocaine
Do it for the money, do it for the fame
Don't love the hoes, let my bros run trains
Puffing on gas, lighting up the flame
City on my back like a campaign
Cross-over, slammed, that LeBron James
Peanut butter inside, wood grain
Pull up on your block like a goblin
All you see is guns, get to sparking
Then the police get to chalking
Dope in the car, no walk in
Outbid a nigga, no bargain
Young nigga living
Young nigga living
Fucking these bitches
Niggas ain't made for the stone cold
Niggas pull K's for the co-co
I'mma just blaze with the .44
Stand back, blow haze in my low low
Catch a fade then I go go
Act right, then I fade to the slow-mo
That's right got a pay for the po-po
On the West got the drank for the low low
Bounce in my low low
Vision like a GoPro
Down Melrose, got about twelve hoes
In the Valley, I got about twelve more
Two twelve in the pell, give 'em hell like you came from the twelfth floor
Got the bell, get the bands like a billfold
Where they at? Man I'm strapped like Velcro
Where I'm at I'mma bad in the hell hole
Where it's at matter fact who the hell knows
It's a fact that I rap and I move O's
Then the Act got me slapped, man I'm too slow
Then I'm trapped in a trap turn the two door
Porsche 9-1-1, shit too cold
Man I'm one then I'm done then it's new coach
Man 9-1-1, we don't do those
Young nigga living
Young nigga living
Fucking these bitches
Young nigga living

Handle my business

Getting this chicken
Life's so hard
R.I.P. Grandma
These cops play different
Every corner got a camera
I swear the game got a cancer
These lil niggas bust a hammer
With bitch made tendencies
Seize, make 'em wanna give they man up
Ain't about gang bangers or color bandannas
Or holding your fist up and repping The Panthers
See Willie still Lynching they want us to hang us
Game is still pimping adapted the changes
I'll take your 360, work off your anus
Shit on these niggas, like you constipated
See that's what I did
And Momma I made it
But I'm gone out my mind
And my point is vacated
I can't take this world
Ain't got the patience
Years of oppression, I'm feeling violated
And that's why my niggas be highly sedated
Addicted to money and driving new Ranges
Gone off the lean, want to stay faded
They can't even drink because their life is so jaded
I want to be clean but the world is so tainted
Ain't it?
Young nigga living

The song "Young N***a Living" by A$AP Mob, featuring A$AP Ferg, A$AP Twelvyy, and A$AP Ant, is an ode to the high life of a young, reckless party animal. The lyrics describe a lifestyle filled with drugs, women, and fast living. The first verse paints a picture of a young man who is high on drugs, breaking down a whole pound of weed and living life on his own terms. He wears designer clothes, drives expensive cars, and has women flocking to him. The second verse touches on the darker side of this lifestyle, with lyrics about crime, police harassment, and violence.
The chorus repeats the phrase "young n***a living" over and over again, emphasizing the carefree, hedonistic nature of the song. The verses and chorus work together to create a portrait of a young man who is living the high life, taking risks, and enjoying himself at all costs.
Line by Line Meaning
Young wild nigga, I'm high as hell
I'm a young, reckless guy who's really stoned right now
Break a whole pound down, smell the smell
Breaking down a whole pound of weed and smelling its scent
Word around town, they ringing bells
People are talking about me and my crew
All my niggas cracking, lock the shells
All my guys are carrying weapons
Sweat pants on with the YSL
Wearing sweatpants and designer clothes (YSL)
Might go Dipset Pelle Pell
Might wear Dipset clothing and Pelle Pelle jackets
All white on, the light snow
Wearing all white clothing in the snow
In the summer time my fly glow
I look really good in the summertime
Some hate me, some love me though
Some people dislike me while some like me
Bitches on the guest list at my shows
Women are on the guest list for my concerts
In the mosh-pit throwing elbows
In the middle of a chaotic crowd at a concert
Day dream of getting that Phantom Rolls
Dreaming about owning a Rolls Royce Phantom
Pour up, slow down, catch the flow
Taking a drink, slowing things down, and finding the rhythm
Bum niggas want to steal my clothes
Poor people want to rob me of my clothes
Thirsty niggas want to fuck my hoes
Desperate people want to have sex with my women
Run up on me meet the .44
If someone tries to attack me, they'll meet my gun (.44 caliber)
Mobbing ten deep in the Tahoe
Riding 10 deep in a Chevy Tahoe
Drug money, rap money, more dough
Having money from both selling drugs and making music
Pots caught me but the wrist game
Getting caught by cops but still having a good watch
Rap don't work, flip cocaine
If music doesn't bring in enough money, turn to selling drugs
Do it for the money, do it for the fame
Pursuing music for the financial gain and popularity
Don't love the hoes, let my bros run trains
Not caring about women, letting my friends have sex with them
Puffing on gas, lighting up the flame
Smoking weed and enjoying it
City on my back like a campaign
Representing my city and carrying its weight
Cross-over, slammed, that LeBron James
Doing a basketball move like LeBron James
Peanut butter inside, wood grain
Having brown interior with wood accents in my car
Pull up on your block like a goblin
Drive up to your block like a scary monster
All you see is guns, get to sparking
Seeing lots of guns and people firing them
Then the police get to chalking
Then the police mark the locations of gun shell casings with chalk
Dope in the car, no walk in
Carrying drugs in the car instead of walking them in
Outbid a nigga, no bargain
Not settling for a deal, paying more than necessary
Young nigga living
Living life while young
Fucking these bitches
Having sex with women
Niggas ain't made for the stone cold
People can't handle tough situations
Niggas pull K's for the co-co
People use guns to protect their cocaine
I'mma just blaze with the .44
I'll smoke weed and have my gun with me
Stand back, blow haze in my low low
Step away while I smoke weed in my car
Catch a fade then I go go
Get a haircut (fade) then leave quickly
Act right, then I fade to the slow-mo
Behave correctly and then relax
That's right got a pay for the po-po
I have to pay the police off
On the West got the drank for the low low
On the West Coast, I have access to cheap alcohol
Bounce in my low low
Riding around in my lowered car
Vision like a GoPro
Seeing things clearly like a GoPro camera
Down Melrose, got about twelve hoes
Around Melrose, I have about 12 women with me
In the Valley, I got about twelve more
In the San Fernando Valley, I have about 12 more women with me
Two twelve in the pell, give 'em hell like you came from the twelfth floor
12 people in my Pelle jacket, going all out like we're from the 12th floor of a building
Got the bell, get the bands like a billfold
Making money so fast it's like filling up a wallet
Where they at? Man I'm strapped like Velcro
Asking where my enemies are while having a gun with me
Where I'm at I'mma bad in the hell hole
Being tough in a bad neighborhood
Where it's at matter fact who the hell knows
No one knows where I am
It's a fact that I rap and I move O's
I rap and sell drugs
Then the Act got me slapped, man I'm too slow
Getting caught by law enforcement and being too slow
Then I'm trapped in a trap turn the two door
Caught in a drug trap, only having a two-door car
Porsche 9-1-1, shit too cold
Owning a really cool Porsche 911
Man I'm one then I'm done then it's new coach
A new coach if I'm done with something
Man 9-1-1, we don't do those
We don't call the police (911) for help
Handle my business
Take care of my responsibilities
Getting this chicken
Making money
4 that I'm sipping
Drinking alcohol for relaxation
Life's so hard
Life is difficult
R.I.P. Grandma
Honoring my grandmother who passed away
These cops play different
Police officers act a different way than civilians
Every corner got a camera
There are security cameras everywhere
I swear the game got a cancer
The music industry has something corrupt within it
These lil niggas bust a hammer
Young guys carry guns and are violent
With bitch made tendencies
Behaving weak and cowardly
Seize, make 'em wanna give they man up
Beating someone so badly that they give up and confess
Ain't about gang bangers or color bandannas
It's not about being in a gang or wearing a bandana of a certain color
Or holding your fist up and repping The Panthers
It's not about supporting the Black Panther Party with your raised fist
See Willie still Lynching they want us to hang us
Saying that people in power still treat black people like they did Willie Lynch
Game is still pimping adapted the changes
The music industry is still taking advantage of artists in new ways
I'll take your 360, work off your anus
Taking someone's video game console and making them work hard to get it back
Shit on these niggas, like you constipated
Disrespecting people like you're constipated (can't flush)
See that's what I did
That's what I did (dish out disrespect)
And Momma I made it
Mama, I made it in the music industry
But I'm gone out my mind
But I'm crazy
And my point is vacated
And my message is lost
I can't take this world
I hate this world and can't handle it
Ain't got the patience
I don't have the patience to deal with it
Years of oppression, I'm feeling violated
Years of being oppressed and mistreated have left me feeling violated
And that's why my niggas be highly sedated
That's why my guys use drugs to cope
Addicted to money and driving new Ranges
Addicted to making money and driving fancy cars (Range Rovers)
Gone off the lean, want to stay faded
High on codeine and wanting to stay that way
They can't even drink because their life is so jaded
They can't even enjoy alcohol because they're so unhappy with life
I want to be clean but the world is so tainted
I want to be drug-free but the world is so corrupt
Ain't it?
You know what I'm talking about, right?
