Purity

(album: TESTING - 2018)

[A$AP Rocky:]
I've been busy (Busy, busy)
I've been fucking busy, I've been busy fucking
I've been all kinds of busy, or sorta kinda busy
Like shorty is we fuckin'? Well if not then fuck it
Apologies to the fam, we thought we ducked 'em
Said I was in a rush but I was busy rushing
It's busy shit, busy that, busy this
And I need a minute (Hold on)

[Lauryn Hill, A$AP Rocky, and Frank Ocean:]
See this what that voice in your head says
When you try to get peace of mind
"I gotta find peace of mind"
(Ooh, going to find)
"I gotta find peace of mind"
(I'm going to find)
"I gotta find peace of mind"
(Yeah)

[Frank Ocean:]
Spending time spinning out toward a desire that wasn't pure

Born before the virus was cured
Pitch perfect, violins on the floor
Fast forward, linings on my skull
This the type of design I could afford

Fast forward, bands out
Got they hands out like they acknowledging the Führer

I rewind, Nas track 6
Rewind dance crazes
Read my mind, freed my mind, feed my mind, makes sense
Just like mirrors on the wall, just like sitting on me

Raw in mirrors seen it all, could make two, a piece of mind
Flicking ash, pouring a half, don't pour in a glass
Pour it in foam, this white got eggshells in my omelet
My earlobes, they yellow like the yolk is running

Brain on drugs, I still ain't got no peace of mind, fuck
Woof, woof—dogs in the place, loose tooth—lost in the fray
Roof lost on the Wraith, roof lost on the way
Freeway, no Rozay, brute force, Brüt champagne

Tell the front desk to cut new keys
Reserved in the Mercer for two years, in two suites
Took out the bed like it's fuck sleep

I'll smack a bitch like it's hot hands
Fired the label like fuck brands
Comfortable low nigga, fuck Xans
Comfortable slow, who the fuck ran
Nothing is sweet, nothing in tank sweet, it's just a tank P

Salt on a slug, soda on slugged teeth
Chewing on nothing
You're tweaking or something, you're reaching for something
You're speaking, speak up then, you're thinking, you're overthinking

One blink and I'm pre-cumming
That could turn every no one into someone

[Lauryn Hill, Frank Ocean and A$AP Rocky:]
"I gotta find peace of mind"
(Ohh, do do, do do, oh)
"I gotta find peace of mind"
(Oh, oh)
"I gotta find peace of mind"
(Oh, oh)
"I gotta find peace of mind"
(You make my desire pure)
"I gotta find peace of mind"
(You make my desire pure)
I just need peace of mind for my purity
"You make my desire pure, just tell me"
"You make my desire pure, just tell me"

[A$AP Rocky and Lauryn Hill:]
Memories burn the roaches
Cheer Hennessy for my old heads
Amphetamines for the dosage
Keeping me up and focused
Jewelry cloth, my gold caps
NY throwback like the old Fab

"I'm undone because"

Lost in the Google Maps in your iMac, think my phone tapped
Hold up, hold that (Hold on, my nigga, hold that—) thought
Nigga, pour up soda, nigga, hold that cough
Tryna hold back
The call had dropped when the FaceTime paused, don't call back
Can't cope when your heart broke
Soft-spoken, roll something, cop something, Narco
Saint like Joan of Arc, bro
Ring barcode
Two of everything, should have been to blame when Noah's Ark broke
Two more drinks of everything before the bar closed
Face-to-face with my demons at a barstool

Haven't checked on my niece in weeks
Months past and months in between since me and my sister would speak
Not a call or visit in weeks
Lost nothing since September
Last seen her September '16
Man it feels like

"I'm undone because"

Lose someone every release, it feels like the curse is in me (A$AP)
Press is gone and I grief
I share with you my peace

[Lauryn Hill:]
"I'm undone because—"
"I'm undone because—"
