Back Home
A$AP Rocky feat. Mos Def & A$AP Yams Lyrics

Gotta find my way back home
I need to return to my roots and find my true self again

I've been away too long
I've been disconnected from my true home for far too much time

I'm moving
I'm constantly evolving and growing

War Lords, we all Lords, but we your Lords
We may be leaders and powerful individuals, but ultimately, we serve and represent all of you

Tryna find home, next stop is the Waldorf
We're searching for a place that feels like home, and the next stop on our journey is the Waldorf

Past the racism and fake-ism
We're moving beyond the divisions caused by racism and the facade of inauthenticity

Type of hate that make you feel worse than a rape victim, raw dogs
The level of hatred we face can be more damaging than even the most traumatic experiences, leaving us vulnerable and exposed

You other rappers mad soft, mad I rap my ass off
Other rappers are jealous and insecure because I rap with exceptional skill and dedication

They throwin' mats off, till I go bath salt
They're challenging me and provoking me, but I'll rise above their negativity and show them my true power

On wax, spitting heat to melt the wax off
Through my music, I'm delivering intense and powerful lyrics that can melt away any doubts or criticisms

I'm Mr Miyagi and Issey Miyake
I possess both the wisdom and style of a renowned martial arts master and a high-end fashion designer

Asshole flow, fuck name brands, past logos
My style of rapping is bold and unapologetic, and I don't care about trendy brands or outdated logos

Now I'm onto grand raps, hands so low, uh
I've elevated my rap game to a higher level, and my confidence is unwavering

It's like my fashion style is the life saver
My unique sense of fashion helps me navigate and find my purpose in life

Guess she wasn't satisfied with titties that Christ gave her
She wasn't content with her natural physical attributes and sought artificial enhancement

Bragging that her new ass shots is a life changer
She proudly boasts about how her butt augmentation has transformed her life

Head so good on that girl that I might pay her, or nah?
She's skilled in certain intimate activities, and I'm contemplating whether I should reward her financially or not

Super laid back cat, opposite of fat black, Al Capone
I'm a relaxed and easygoing person, in direct contrast to being overweight and a notorious figure like Al Capone

Tell them lil' niggas Flacko home
Inform those young individuals that A$AP Flacko (nickname for A$AP Rocky) has returned home

Father, Lord forgive me as I load up the semi
I acknowledge my flaws and seek forgiveness as I prepare for battle or confrontation

Roll through the city, that Joseph is in me
I navigate through the urban landscape with confidence and the spirit of a biblical figure, Joseph

Hold it, don't load it, reload it
I'm cautious and strategic, not rushing into action, but preparing for another round if necessary

On plenty, any foe or
I'm ready to face any adversary, regardless of their number or strength

That ever voted against me, dissed me
Anyone who has opposed me or shown disrespect will face the consequences

Pissed me off then tried to hold it against me
Those who provoke my anger and hold a grudge will face my retaliation

Or wish we off the worst luck that ever hated
Some people even wish ill fortune on me, hoping for the worst luck and misfortune in my life

Never hesitated, the designated all of the wrong they did me
I've never faltered in confronting and addressing all the injustices and wrongdoings done to me

You stored in my memory all of the doors that I thought of
I've remembered all the opportunities and possibilities that were once open to me

Means more from my enemies
The actions and opinions of my enemies carry more weight and significance

Sippin' holy water like it's bore from my kidneys
I'm consuming holy water as a form of purification and spiritual nourishment

Load the smoke like a chimney, make a toast for the memories
I'm embracing and indulging in substances to forget and commemorate the past

Make a toast for the henny, it's the best for the remedies
I raise a glass of Hennessy liquor as it provides the best relief and comfort

Energy, synergy, frienemies, industries
The dynamics of positive and negative relationships within the entertainment industry

Finna get advantage on him and his nemesis
I'm determined to gain the upper hand and outperform both him and his rival

Bitches been sniffing
Women have been trying to get close to me and seize opportunities

(Flocko Jodye season, bitch)
Now is the time for A$AP Flacko to shine and dominate, addressing others disrespectfully

If I, if I ain't the greatest, bitch I'm one of em
I confidently assert that I am either the greatest or at least among the greatest in this field

How in the fuck could you front on em
How dare you disrespect or underestimate me?

My old ho beefing, my ex won't be friends
My previous romantic partner is involved in a conflict, and my ex refuses to reconcile or maintain a friendship

Bronson told me not to eat ham, rest in peace Yams

It's always the right time for Flacko's dominance and influence

You guided me to a new place or situation, symbolized by Arizona

Steady flowing, staying golden
I'm maintaining a constant flow and staying true to my authentic self

Flacko glowing in that Owens, that's how it's going (gotta find my way back home)
