No Rest For The Wicked
LykkeLi Feat. A$AP Rocky Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't let me do much
She love me too much, at least she used to
Then I used her, I abused her
Never thought I'd, ever lose her, I confused her
But I refuse to, be so wicked, hallelujah
My one heart hurt another
Can you give me just another
For that one who got away
Lonely I, I'm so alone now
There'll be no rest for the wicked
There's no song for the choir
There's no hope for the weary
If you let them win without a fight
I let my good one down
I let my true love die
I had his heart but I broke it every time
Pretty motherfucker from the north pole
Jiggy motherfucker but my heart cold
And the rest washed up like bar soap
Tell her read between the lines like a bar code
Get it?
Wicked, see my style, see my smile too wicked
Oh wickick me, tell her wiki me
Whens she wiki me, she gotta Lykke Li
Eazy-E riding on the big spokes, on the 6-4
They say I switch hoes how I switch clothes
Little nigga now doing big shows
But I'm heavy in the streets like I'm Big Pun
Reckless, no resting, but I'm wicked, nigga I'm flexing
Anti-depressants, couldn't help you with the lesson
If you didn't get the message, only weight is digression
There'll be no rest for the wicked
There's no song for the choir
There's no hope for the weary
If you let them win without a fight
I let my good one down
I let my true love die
I had his heart but I broke it every time
Wicked
No question
If love don't work it's just gonna hurt
It all goes bad, it just gets worse
I can't describe with just one verse
The lyrics of Lykke Li’s song “No Rest for The Wicked” featuring A$AP Rocky, point to an individual who is conflicted about the treatment of their romantic partner. The singer acknowledges that their partner loved them too much but they took advantage of them, confused them and ultimately lost them. The singer refuses to continue down that destructive path and asks for redemption. The lyrics serve as a contemplation of past actions and a plea to do better in the future. The chorus highlights the struggle to find peace for those who have done wrong as there’s no rest for the wicked and there’s no hope for the weary if you let them win without a fight.
A$AP Rocky’s verse on the song is a response to the singer reflecting on how the singer's wicked ways affected their partner. A$AP Rocky describes himself as someone who is cool, stylish, and streetwise, but with a cold heart. The lyrics suggest that he has acquired a certain level of success but he is still active in the streets. A$AP Rocky’s verse elaborates on how he is unable to take prescription medication for depression and instead chooses to “flex” and “anti-depress” through his accomplishments, which makes the situation worse.
Line by Line Meaning
Love me too much
She loves me too intensely
Don't let me do much
I feel restrained by her love
She love me too much, at least she used to
She used to love me intensely
Then I used her, I abused her
I took advantage and mistreated her
Never thought I'd, ever lose her, I confused her
I didn't think I'd lose her, but I misled her
But I refuse to, be so wicked, hallelujah
I won't continue being cruel
My one heart hurt another
My actions caused pain to someone else
So only one life can't be enough
One lifetime isn't enough for redemption
Can you give me just another
Can I have another chance?
For that one who got away
To make amends with the person I lost
Lonely I, I'm so alone now
I am now by myself and lonely
There'll be no rest for the wicked
The consequences of my actions won't allow for rest
There's no song for the choir
There's no redemption or forgiveness for me
There's no hope for the weary
Those who suffer because of me won't find solace
If you let them win without a fight
If you don't resist them, they'll triumph easily
I let my good one down
I didn't value my partner who was good to me
I let my true love die
I caused the end of my genuine love
I had his heart but I broke it every time
I repeatedly hurt the one I loved
Pretty motherfucker from the north pole
I'm an attractive person from a distant location
Jiggy motherfucker but my heart cold
I may act smooth, but I have a cold heart
And the rest washed up like bar soap
Others are insignificant and easily overlooked
Tell her read between the lines like a bar code
Encourage her to look deeper and find hidden meanings
Get it?
Do you understand?
Wicked, see my style, see my smile too wicked
My cruel behavior is reflected in my appearance and demeanor
Oh wickick me, tell her wiki me
Search for me online and learn about my faults
Whens she wiki me, she gotta Lykke Li
She'll discover my collaboration with Lykke Li
Eazy-E riding on the big spokes, on the 6-4
I'm as famous as Eazy-E riding in a luxury car
They say I switch hoes how I switch clothes
I am accused of frequently changing partners
Little nigga now doing big shows
I've come a long way despite my flaws
But I'm heavy in the streets like I'm Big Pun
I hold significance in the music industry, similar to Big Pun
Reckless, no resting, but I'm wicked, nigga I'm flexing
I'm irresponsible and always active, and I'm proud of being cruel
Anti-depressants, couldn't help you with the lesson
Even medication can't fix the harm I caused
If you didn't get the message, only weight is digression
If you didn't understand already, further explanation isn't helpful
No question
Without doubt
If love don't work it's just gonna hurt
If love fails, it'll only cause pain
It all goes bad, it just gets worse
It all falls apart and continues to deteriorate
I can't describe with just one verse
I need more than one line to convey the complexity of my situation

This is hands down the best remix. Perfect sync, sick drum beats and personified vocals that reaches deep and pierces through your soul and sees you true.
@LiyahCooper786
How can you people even hate on this? This is perfection. Honestly.
@kronikfumes
This is honestly terrible if only you knew why.
@LiyahCooper786
***** feel free to enlighten me.
@kronikfumes
Liyah Cooper if you happen to listen to an artist called e-dubble, then you you know why this is bad. He wrote a remix almost a month before this with lykke li's permission and it was taken down because warner music saw it as copyright infringement since asap made a remix a month later.
@LiyahCooper786
***** that sucks. /: But that isn't really relevant tho. I mean yeah, that's pretty messed up, but it doesn't have anything to do with the quality of this remix.
@kronikfumes
Liyah Cooper yeah I mean I honestly just don't like it, but that's me
@Karlaarj
