A$AP Rocky feat. Santigold Lyrics


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
Flacko, where you been?
I've been thuggin' with my niggas, bruh
Flacko, how you been?
I'm still thuggin' with my niggas, bruh
Flacko, where you been?
I've been thuggin' with my niggas, bruh
Flacko, how you been?

Buggin' with my niggas, go sluggin'
Tell me who fuckin' with my niggas
Who run it? My niggas
Fuck up, they buggin'
Now niggas slump over Robitussin in public
Cup full of purple substance or something
My niggas, the only thing that move me
Excuse me

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

Flacko, Flacko, Flacko
Flacko, Flacko, Flacko




Flacko, Flacko, Flacko
Flacko, Flacko, Flacko

The first part of the lyrics talks about problems with debt. The artist mentions owing money to a bill collector but promises to pay the debt when his check arrives tomorrow.

The artist then confronts someone who is staring at him, and warns that there will be trouble if the person touches his clothing. He talks about having drugs for sale and implies that there are weapons present as well. The lyrics then shift to a conversation with a girl, where the artist corrects her when she says "Excuse me" and boasts about his ability to change and do whatever he wants. The chorus repeats the phrase "Excuse me" and talks about not having time to make excuses because they are too busy making moves.
