Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tryna make it home safe and not get raped, where you live?
Tina tummy ache, Gina got the funny face
Mona's sniffin' dope, so her dome is leanin' on her rib
I bet you wish you had a Benz 'cause you just helped your friends
Flag a taxi, now you walkin' not too far from your crib (uh)
Cravin' for an acid tablet for your satisfaction
Said you feelin' flabbergasted, you just had to have it
Now you need an upper fast to help your mellow swag
Black kid, French braids and he keep the potent
Hold ya purse don't trust him 'cause his teeth is golden
Dice rollin' reefer blowin' in the streets he smokin'
Blowin' weed while police patrollin' (uh)
Acid strips, purple drink you can have a sip
Have a fix of this acid drip (drip)
Hands on her thighs, kiss on the lips
Eye for an eye, drip for a drip
I get ya high, please don't forget
I can supply the fix for ya trip
Hands on her thighs, kiss on the lips
Eye for an eye, drip for a drip
I get ya high, please don't forget
I can supply the fix for ya trip (uh)
Uh, uh, uh (yeah)

Uh, uh, uh (yeah)

The lyrics to A$AP Rocky's song "Acid Drip" describe a night out with friends who are all dealing with their own troubles. The first verse focuses on the singer's attempts to make it home safely while helping their friends who are also struggling. Tina has a stomach ache, Gina has a funny face, and Mona is using drugs. The singer wants to get an acid tablet for their own satisfaction, so they make their way to 7th Ave to find one. They are approached by a Black kid with French braids, who they don't trust because of his golden teeth. Despite this, he offers them drugs, and the singer partakes in the experience.
The second verse describes a more intimate scene, with the singer and their partner engaging in a drug-fueled encounter. The chorus suggests that the singer can provide the drugs to get their partner high and that they will reciprocate with physical affection. The lyrics suggest that the use of drugs is a way to escape the difficulties of life and create connections with others.
Overall, "Acid Drip" portrays a world where people use drugs to numb their pain and find meaningful connections with others. The lyrics recognize the dangers of this lifestyle, such as getting robbed or arrested by the police, but also suggest that the pleasures of drug use are worth these risks.
