13. West Side Highway
A$AP Rocky feat. James Fauntleroy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

These days of preference has no complexion
You could be light, dark, mixed or fair skin
Just light the candle, (gold sweats) down the handle, life's a gamble
And she know, love with me is like a sea note, a side a Reno
A couple white lies, a cup of white wine a pino, Italian grigio
House keys to P.O.
Ride from overseas but that's basic
Wasted high on the west side highway
Drunk enough to fuck with, face it

Hangovers, leftovers in the Range Rover
Shame on her, make up or get a makeover
Thank over, glim fitted start to takeover
When I brainstorm, all the hoes ain't got a thing on her
Audemars, season order like summer fall
I throw the Audemars, then I throw out all the ball
New Dior from the boutique store
Only thing in common that we got is that we want it all
Little cutie pie, saw her looking super fly
More Justin Timberlake on my suit and tie
Try to scrutinize, cause I keep two inside
Suicides, no sir, hoes get the uber ride
Or we can kiss 'til the sun come up
Or, sit on my lap 'til somethin' come up
She ain't really wanna club, I ain't really wanna judge
Girl just wanna have fun 'til the fun run up

On the high way to my place, it's higher than you ever been
By to my way, we be all day, me, you and all your friends
In love, fuckin' in love
Just too much

These days of preference has no complexion
You could be light, dark, mixed or fair skin
Just light the candle, (gold sweats) down the handle, life's a gamble
And she know, love with me is like a sea note, a side a Reno
A couple white lies, a cup of white wine a pino, Italian grigio
House keys to P.O.
Ride from overseas but that's basic
Wasted high on the west side highway
Drunk enough to fuck with, face it

On the high way to my place, it's higher than you ever been
By to my way, we be all day, me, you and all your friends




In love, fuckin' in love
Just too much

Overall Meaning

The song West Side Highway by A$AP Rocky Ft. James Fauntleroy is about the ups and downs of a relationship, and the struggles that come with it. The lyrics are about a couple who are not judgemental about each other's race or complexion, but are willing to take risks and gamble in their love life. They try to forget their hangovers and get over their problems, by drinking wine, lying to each other and having fun until the fun runs out.


The singer discusses his relationship with a woman who he considers to be his cutie pie, looking super fly in her attire. He has a love for expensive things, from his Audemars to his Dior suits. He is focused on his own goals of success, while being in love and enjoying casual fun with his partner. Towards the end of the song, Rocky sings about the couple's escapades on the west side highway, where they get drunk and end up doing questionable things.

@Jacob Bolcer well usually when a channel is not big and has lets say 1m views it will get about 500 comments. and now lets say it got about 100k views it would get about 100-200 comments. and gotta keep in my mind some people don’t comment they just watch the vid. i dunno though thats just based off what i’ve observed about certain vids
