Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(For all them hoes that was frontin' on nigga back in the days, man) Know I'm sayin'?
This for my broke jiggy niggas right now, you know (excuse me, fuck out my face)
They say wealth is in the mind, not the pocket (jiggy shit bruh, bruh)
I learned that from a very wise man (gotta pocket full of stones like Pimp said and shit)
(Uh, yeah)

Okay excuse me, Mr. Bill Collector, I got problems
My check arrive mañana, I'ma pay my debt, I promise
I spent 20 thousand dollars with my partners in Bahamas
Another 20 thousand dollars on Rick Owens out in Barneys
I said excuse me, why the fuck you lookin'? What's your problem?
I swear we gon' have drama if you touch my tailored garments
All you see is niggas here, so that means it's triggers there
What you mean? We got weed, and codeine and bricks for sale
I bet a lot of niggas plottin' so you know I got that heater, bruh
Drive my side of Harlem, catch me ridin' with my nina, bruh
She got an apple bottom that remind you of Bonita, bruh
Oh you mean like Q-Tip? Now that girl my new bitch
Excuse me, no, I believe the proper term's excuse you
I could switch up on you niggas and start shittin' if I choose to
That's when the new you becomin' different since they knew you
I guess the new me is just gon' take some gettin' used to

Excuse me, I tell them they're excused
What's the word around town? Tell me what's the latest news
And uh, who them niggas? I tell 'em we them dudes
Ain't got time to make excuses bro we steady making moves
And I, run the game even when they bend the rules
I pay very close attention after that I pay my dues
And uh, excuse me, may I be excused?
'Cause I gave this shit my all, ain't got nothing left to lose

Tell me why the little niggas talking like they killas, bruh?
Nowadays these niggas always caught up in they feelings, bruh
But I stay 100 'cause you know I keep it trilla, bruh
Mobbin' like 2Pacalypse or Bishop how I Hit 'Em Up
Fill 'em up with lyrics, bury all my victims, kill 'em
Dig 'em up again, to say I did it
Snitches excuse me, mind your business, bruh
Swear that you could get it, girl
She a fashion killa, huh?
Killa girl, I'm a go-getter, shit, get it, girl

Overall Meaning

A$AP Rocky's "Excuse Me" is a song that speaks about his wealthy lifestyle, success, and the hustle it took to get there. The song also features a lot of bravado, with Rocky suggesting that he's running the game even when the rules bend against him. The opening lines, which include "for all them hoes that was frontin' on nigga back in the days, man,' suggest that Rocky is aware of his humble beginnings and the people who doubted him then. The reference to wealth being in the mind and not the pocket emphasizes this point further.  


The first verse of the song deals with Rocky's financial status, his luxurious lifestyle and his readiness to defend himself when his tailored garments are touched. The following verse speaks of his reputation for being authentic and standing 100. Rocky highlights the need to mind your business in these streets as snitches are not tolerated. In the chorus, he posits that he and his crew are moving forward with focus and intent. There's no room for excuses because they're solely focused on making moves. The final verse is more about Rocky's influence, specifically in the rap game. He and his crew run things, and they're not afraid to do things differently or bend the rules. 


Overall, "Excuse Me" is a song that speaks to the challenges of success and how one can't forget where they came from while achieving their goals. The song also touches on the importance of authenticity and staying true to oneself in a world where everyone seems to be fronting.
