HIGHJACK Song Lyrics

HIGHJACK by A$AP Rocky

Like that
b**ches hit my phone, talkin' sh*t, and I don't like that
Niggas talk about me, where they at? It's just like that
b**ches hit my phone, talkin' sh*t, and I don't like that
Niggas talk—

[Verse 1: A$AP Rocky]
f**k your ho 'cause she like that
Yeah, b**ch, fat ass, pretty, I might wife that
Niggas swear they pimpin', Scottie sippin', get your wife back
Ho, you know you trippin', Flacko different, know you like that
Swipe a pretty b**ch right off her feet, this a hijack
Why your nigga flexin' like he me? Ain't even like that
b**ch mistake my newest pinkie ring for a ice pack
Shorty keep on damn requestin' me about some Snapchat
I don't even like rats, invested into mice traps
Pull up to the trenches, all my jewelry, yeah, I'm like that
I just put my finger in the **** 'cause she like that
Don't compare that pussy boy to me (I don't like that)
Feelin' like I'm Sosa, Chief Keef (I don't like that)
Tired of them niggas sleepin' on me, I don't like naps
Niggas f**k around and stole the flow and y'all like that?
Okay, okay, and I'm right back
A$AP right up on my gut and that's a life tat'
Walk inside the booth, I just talk, I don't write raps
Walk into the store, I bought the flow 'cause I'm like that
Tell her, "Give me that, give me those," f**k a price tag
Yeah, I hung around way uptown, where it ain't nice at
Catch me on the block, not the web, this ain't Minecraft
Before we dropped "Peso" on you niggas, you ain't like RAF
Niggas want a feature from me? This ain't a life raft
Talk to God before I go to sleep, He hit me right back
He said, "Stay calm, put your trust in me, you on the right path"
These niggas want my wife bad, the people want my next track
The coppers want my black ass, f**ked up, but it's like that
[Bridge]
b**ches call my phone, talkin' sh*t, I don't like that
Niggas on their songs talkin' sh*t, I don't like that
Niggas hit my phone, what they on? I don't like that
Devils inside homes all alone, b**ches like that
b**ches call my phone, talkin' sh*t, I don't like that
Niggas on their songs talkin' sh*t, I don't like that
Niggas hit my phone, what they on? I don't like that
Devils inside homes all alone, b**ches like that

[Verse 2: Jessica Pratt & A$AP Rocky]
Been gone so long
I'm back to stay
Bearing is lost
Our liking is changed
And when I'm gone (And when I'm gone)
You wish you stayed (You wish you stayed)
And when I'm gone (And when I'm gone)
You wish you stayed (You wish you stayed)
And when I'm gone (And when I'm gone)
You wish you stayed (You wish you stayed, oh, yeah, yeah)
And when I'm gone (And when I'm gone)
You wish you stayed (You wish you stayed)
And when I'm gone

[Outro: Jessica Pratt]
Mm, mm
Mm
