Wildside
A$AP Rocky Lyrics

Smoking weed, riding chrome
Engaging in the act of smoking marijuana and driving in a car with chrome rims

Only thing I've ever known
The only lifestyle I have ever been exposed to and experienced

Is walk on the wild side
To live a risky and unconventional life

Welcome to our life
This is an invitation to experience and understand our way of life

Slangin' keys, spraying K's
Dealing drugs, specifically cocaine, and using firearms as a means of protection

Every day we getting paid
Earning money on a daily basis through illicit activities

To walk on the wild side
To continue living a dangerous and rebellious lifestyle

Welcome to our life
This is an invitation to experience and understand our way of life

Come take a little walk with me through my neighborhood
Join me on a journey through the environment I grew up in

And come spend a day in my trap
Experience a day in the place where I conduct my drug dealing operations

Get your paper right and that yay some good
Ensure you have enough money and obtain high-quality cocaine

But just keep a tool in your lap
Always carry a weapon with you for personal protection

My lil' patna holding that work
My close associate is in possession of the drugs

Nigga want weight then keep around back
If someone wants a large quantity of drugs, they must go to a discreet location

Betta not violate on my turf
It's best not to provoke any conflict in my territory

Nigga yesterday just died like that
Someone I knew died suddenly and unexpectedly

Ain't no investigation, no statements
There won't be any police investigations or witness testimonies

And no witnesses, we ain't seen shit
No one will come forward as a witness, and we will feign ignorance

Pull up after dark with that jewelry on
Arrive in the neighborhood at night while wearing expensive jewelry

To come see a bitch, that's what he get it
To visit a woman, but it will result in harm or consequences

We on dark roads with no street lights
We travel on poorly lit roads without proper lighting

That pistol play after fist fights
Engaging in gun violence after physical altercations

And them geek monsters walk all night
Drug addicts roam the streets all night, seeking their next high

With they crack pipes tryna get right
They use crack pipes in an attempt to satisfy their addiction

Midnight we shoot dice
At midnight, we gamble with dice

The whole house smelling like cooked crack
The entire residence has a strong odor of recently cooked crack cocaine

You beat me, and you talk shit
If you defeat me in a confrontation, you boast and taunt

You get shot bitch, and I took that
As a consequence, you will be shot, and I accept that outcome

Hood rats on deck, that loud is all I blow
I have a group of promiscuous women ready for any occasion, and I only smoke high-quality marijuana

This shit to you it might sound wild
The details of this lifestyle may appear outrageous to you

But this life is all I know
However, this is the only life I am familiar with and have experienced

Can you picture me back in '93
Can you imagine and visualize me during the year 1993

Bumpin' Dr. Dre while I hit some weed
Listening to Dr. Dre's music while smoking marijuana

Cut school, made ten G
Skipping school and earning ten thousand dollars

Thirteen, trying to get keys
At the age of thirteen, attempting to acquire and distribute drugs

At fifteen, I was full-grown
By the time I turned fifteen, I had matured and developed

Get wrong, get bust on
If you cross the line, you will be shot at

My uncle gave me a bunch of work
My relative entrusted me with a significant quantity of drugs

And that shit was gone by the next morning
I quickly sold all the drugs and made a profit overnight

Young wild nigga runnin' with me
A young and reckless individual who associates with me

Homicide wasn't nothing to us
The concept of murder didn't faze us

Dead body wasn't nothing to see
Encountering a deceased person was not shocking or uncommon

That pistol play was just fun to us
Engaging in gunfire was simply entertaining for us

I was 19 with two felonies
At the age of nineteen, I had already committed two serious crimes

One of my best friends had a life sentence
One of my closest companions received a prison term for their entire life

How my uncle friend was just like me
My relative's friend had a similar lifestyle and mindset as me

And had a bunch of partners no longer living
They had many associates who are now deceased

All about that cocaine dealing
Fully dedicated to the business of selling cocaine

No education, no pot to piss in
Lacking formal education and financial stability

Old school, on chrome wheel
Driving an old-fashioned vehicle with chrome rims

Window tinted, pistol hidden
The car windows are darkened, and a concealed firearm is present

That's the shit that I come from
That's the environment and upbringing I originated from

In my heart, fear ain't none
I possess no fear in my heart

Stand tall, I can't run from
I refuse to run away and instead choose to face challenges head-on

That wild side, that I walk on
The reckless and daring lifestyle that I embrace and navigate

All I ever did was put on
All I ever did was showcase my true self

All my old friends tryna get on
All my previous acquaintances are now attempting to achieve success

Shorty fell out, making diss songs
A young woman became angry and started creating disrespectful songs

Never talk down when I get home
Do not speak negatively about me when I return home

Ain't the type of nigga you can shit on
I am not someone you can disrespect or take advantage of

Hundred spokes, brick, chrome
Possessing a car with one hundred spoke rims, a large quantity of drugs, and chrome features

God body, big bone
Having a powerful and strong physique

That's hard body, Jim Jones
Referring to oneself as tough and resilient, similar to Jim Jones

Niggas know the sound of how we switch on him
People are aware of how we can suddenly become aggressive and hostile towards someone

Finna wild out on a Tip song
About to behave recklessly while listening to a T.I. song

Better make a toast, nigga, Tip home
Offer a toast, as T.I. has just arrived

First get the bread, then get going
First secure the money, then proceed with your plans

From the land of the lead where they spit chrome
Referring to the area where guns are frequently fired and bullets are made of lead

Where most kids never get to live long
In this environment, many young individuals do not survive for an extended period

They get pissed off, get pissed on
They become angry and are treated disrespectfully by others

Pistol whipped and stripped, homie
Being assaulted with a handgun and robbed, my friend

Left for a minute and they switched on me
When I was absent for a short period, they turned against me

Caught them talking down, tryna bitch on me
Discovered them speaking negatively and attempting to undermine me

And they snitch on me, ain't got shit on me
They informed the authorities about my activities, but they have no substantial evidence against me

So my guess is death is what they wish on me
Therefore, I assume that they desire my demise

So I'm blowing on them candles
I am firing shots at them

Closed lids and dark eyes
Referring to the injuries and physical appearance resulting from violence

Cause hate's never part time when you on that wild side
When you embrace a reckless and dangerous lifestyle, animosity towards you is constant
