Demons
ASAP Rocky Lyrics

I smoked away my brain, I think I’m going dumb
I have been smoking so much that I feel like I am losing my intelligence and ability to think logically.

Cocaine up on my gums, I think they’re going numb
I have been using cocaine and I can feel the drug's effects on my body, specifically my gums going numb.

I’m having stomach pains, man I’m throwing up
My drug use is causing physical issues such as stomach pains and vomiting.

Cause I’m a microphone fiend
I have a strong desire to be successful in the rap industry and will do whatever it takes to achieve that goal.

Give me the bass, give me the beat, and let me lean
I want to feel the music in my bones and get lost in the rhythm, allowing it to influence my thoughts and actions.

Tap the vein, let it stream, feel the pain
I want to delve deeper into my emotions and use them as inspiration for my music, even if it means feeling pain in the process.

Young Martin Luther King, with a dream
Similar to MLK, I have a big dream for my future success in the rap industry and will not let obstacles stand in my way.

That one day that my team
I hope that one day my team and I will achieve great success in the music industry.

We can make it with this rapping
I strongly believe in our ability to be successful through rap music.

Now we swagging, making money in Manhattan
We are now successful and getting paid from our music in New York City.

Straight what’s happening
I am aware of what is currently going on in the music industry and am confident in my ability to succeed.

They try to intellect with indirection just to test you
People may try to test my intelligence and abilities discretely in order to see if I am truly talented.

A rebel until my death, it’s in my flesh, it’s in my vessels
I will always have a rebellious and creative spirit within me, and it is deeply ingrained in who I am.

Fuck the clique you with
I do not care about being a part of a popular group or clique and am confident in myself as an individual.

I’m finna fuck the bitch you next to
I am confident in my ability to attract and hook up with women, even those who are with someone else.

Fuck a metrosexual, suck a dick, I’m disrespectful
I do not care about societal norms and am not afraid to disrespect those who do not fit my personal beliefs and standards.

You know the kid get it
I am confident in my abilities and know that I will succeed in the rap industry.

Get-get sick spit clip spit quick split shit hit kids women
I am skilled at rapping and can easily create verses that are both sick and impactful.

Oh that’s your girl huh? Well, I just hit it
I am not afraid to hook up with someone's girlfriend or wife, as it does not matter to me.

Demons posted all around me, I can’t beat ‘em all alone
I am struggling with negative thoughts and emotions, which are holding me back from achieving my dreams.

These demon thoughts they start to drown me, won’t they leave me all alone
My negative thoughts and emotions are overpowering me, and I am struggling to overcome them on my own.

Aw-yeah
An expression of affirmation and agreement.

Let the beat chill
I want to take a moment to let the music speak for itself without any words.

Hipster by heart, but I can tell you how the streets feel
Although I may appear to be a hipster, I still have a deep connection to the streets and can relate to the struggles of those living in impoverished areas.
