Suddenly
A$AP Rocky Feat. Bun B Paul Wall & Killa Kyleon Lyrics

I swear this famous shit just happened overnight
I became famous quickly and unexpectedly.

For sho' these hoes was so uptight but now they so polite
Women who used to ignore me are now friendly and interested.

All I see is fake love, smiles, and overbites
People are pretending to like me for their own benefit.

But I'm pimpin' nigga, Dolemite
I am confident and successful.

I remember when, I was like ten, maybe nine
I have fond memories of my childhood.

Ricky had a deuce-deuce, two shotty pumps with a baby nine
My friends had dangerous weapons when we were young.

Busta had the rhymes, Puffy had the shine
My idols were musicians and performers.

Bone Thugs had more thugs but that was the shit that made me rhyme
The violent lifestyle of the Bone Thugs influenced my music.

What's up, what's on your mind? Hol' up, I'm feeling fine
I'm in a good mood and ready to talk.

Locs got me blind, thuggin' like I'm Eazy-E up in his prime
I feel tough and confident, like Eazy-E.

Another young nigga with a attitude
I had a rebellious attitude when I was younger.

I guess that's why them crackers kept me after school
I was punished for my behavior in school.

Roaches on the wall, roaches on the dresser
My living conditions were poor and infested with bugs.

Everybody had roaches but our roaches ain't respect us
Even though roaches were common, our situation was worse than others.

On the park bench playing checkers, sippin' nectar
I spent time relaxing and enjoying simple activities.

Girbaud jeans with hologram straps and reflectors
I wore trendy clothing that had reflective designs.

We had cookouts and dirt bikes and dice games and fist fights
We had fun engaging in activities together.

And fish fries and shootouts like one SIG with two rounds
We also experienced violence and danger with guns.

And one clip left two down, that's four kids but one lived
Many people were killed or hurt in our community.

Left three dead, but one split, that one missed, that one snitched
There were people who betrayed us or left when things got tough.

That's everyday shit, shit, we used to that
This type of violence was a common occurrence.

Add it up, do the math with your stupid ass
Figure it out for yourself.

Don't view me as no conscious cat, this ain't no conscious rap
I'm not here to preach or be politically correct.

Fuck the conscious crap, my MAC'll push your conscious back
Don't mess with me, or you'll regret it.

I do this for my culture, penny, nickels in the sofa
I create music for my community, even if I'm not making a lot of money.

Mommy watching Oprah, daddy in the kitchen whipping soda
My parents were doing their own things while I was growing up.

Cook, connect, named Sosa, Spanish chick by Ola hit it in the chocha
I sold drugs and had relationships with Spanish women.

With the Testarossa, hit Daytona, fuck the law, we soldiers (uh)
I drove expensive cars and didn't worry about getting in trouble.

I'm 'bout it 'bout it, nigga ain't shit sweet about me (uh)
I'm not afraid of anything, and I'm not a pushover.

The baddest bitches on the block be even speakin' 'bout me
Even the most attractive women are interested in me.

I'm so thuggish ruggish bringin' ruckus, knuckin' if you buckin'
I am violent and cause trouble.

Young and thuggin', buggin' showing out in public, but you love it
I act out in public and people enjoy seeing it.

Only got one vision, that's for kids in every color, religion
I have a mission to help young people of all backgrounds.

That listen, we gotta beat the system, stay the fuck out the prisons
We need to fight against oppression and avoid going to jail.

They try to blind our vision, but we all got children and siblings
Oppressors are trying to distract us, but we have loved ones to care for.

You my brother, you my kin, fuck the color of your skin
We are all connected and should not be divided by race.

Back once again
I'm back with another hit song.

Chillin' in the back of the 'Lac with a pass or the gin
I'm relaxing and drinking in a luxury car.

Finna ask, then I pass to her friend
I plan to approach a woman and then offer her friend a drink.

Then a nigga smash, I'll be damned if I ask her again
I plan to have sex with the woman and don't care if I ever see her again.

Gold slabs on the 'Lac when I spin
The car has expensive rims when I drive it.

Then it's back to the back of the Benz
I'm going to switch to a different luxury car.

Lean back in the back with the Henn'
I'm relaxing in the back seat with a bottle of Hennessy.

And a crap when I tap that that then attack
I plan to use drugs and sex to manipulate the women.

Never tax, never that that, max on the ends
I never overpay for anything and always make a profit.

Spend ends, I remember way back when
I'm willing to spend money, even though I used to be broke.

A motherfucker used to have to borrow cash from my friends, friends
I used to have to borrow money from my friends and their friends.

Just to put a snack up in the fridge
I couldn't even afford basic groceries.

When I'm on, I swear to God to pay you back
If I ever become successful, I promise to repay my friends.

Now the kids all look up to me, them bitches wanna fuck with me
Young people admire me and women are interested in having sex with me.

My idols say what's up to me, from ugly to comfortably, suddenly
Even my idols are now friendly with me, and I'm now comfortable and successful.

It all changed man
My life has undergone a significant transformation.

It was just like yesterday
It all happened very quickly.

Times was so ugly
My past was difficult and challenging.

And now I'm comfortable
I am financially secure and successful.

I just only can thank God
I am grateful for everything that has happened to me.

Suddenly
My life changed quickly and unexpectedly.
