Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Uh
They call me F-L-A-C-K-O and don't play, no
'bout my papes baked potato on that Draco
New bandana on my face ain't no stains up on
My drapes, squeaky clean, fuck you say?
Peep them teeth, no dentures please
Princess cut, no dentist, please
Say cheese for the cameras (Ayy)
Eight Gs for the dancers (Ayy)
Benjis in the safe (That's right, ayy)
Bentleys for the phantoms (Uh)
But they all go to waste (Uh)
So what more can I say?
Praise to the Lord, give him grace
The scar on my face but w-wait

(​ecafracS, sruoy si dlrow ehT)
The world is yours, Scarface, nigga
(​ecafracS, sruoy si dlrow ehT)

I ain't duckin' niggas
I ain't duckin' bullets either
Shit, I ain't duck sauce since
I became a vegan nigga, Flacko Jodye season
Prada pants before the season
Probably ducked off in a quiet
Place wit' ya breezy prada shades
That's probably why you couldn't see him
Shittin' me? (Boy)

I would like to dedicate
To the scar on my face
All the stars of the globe
The world is yours, Scarface
I would like to dedicate this
To the scar on my face
Many stars on the globe
The world is yours, Scarface

Uh, fuck no, this ain't no hookah
Smokin' while I'm strollin' down Wooster
Buck fifty, my babushka
No pistol poppers and prostituters
Card scammers and the Prada boosters
Low top, yeah, the powder blue ones
Robber too, huh? Power to ya
Hallelujah, better pray to God

I would like to dedicate
To the scar on my face
All the stars of the globe
The world is yours, Scarface
I would like to dedicate this
To the scar on my face
Many stars of the globe
The world is yours, Scarface

Uh, pearls and diamonds, that's excessive
Money, power, that's excessive
Money problems, that's expected
Marijuana, ass, and breastes
Pearls and diamonds, that's excessive
Money, power, that's excessive




Money problems, that's expected
Marijuana, ass, and breastes

Overall Meaning

The first verse of A$AP Rocky's song "Babushka Boi" talks about his fame and fortune, as well as his penchant for expensive clothes and cars. He asserts his clean record and high value, mentioning his expensive dental work and payment of dancers for videos. He ends the verse by giving thanks to God and showing off his scar, which may have come from a fight or surgery.


The chorus repeats a phrase that repeats the movie Scarface's famous quote "The world is yours." The second verse continues with Rocky boldly claiming that he's not afraid of violence or danger- he hasn't gone vegetarian. Rocky rhymes about wearing expensive, seasonal Prada clothing, his rumored flings with various women, and the value of prayer.


Throughout the song, Rocky repeats that the world belongs to him in a way that's reminiscent of the main character in Scarface, Tony Montana. Rocky claims his own wealth and success as being like that of a movie character, an emblem of the enduring legacy of the 1983 film on hip-hop culture over 30 years later.
