Read the lyrics for A$AP Rocky’s ‘AIR FORCE (BLACK DEMARCO)’ featuring Spencer Sutherland. See the words from the ‘Don’t Be Dumb’ album.
The lyrics for A$AP Rocky’s ‘AIR FORCE (BLACK DEMARCO)’ present a stream-of-consciousness mix of boastful confession, street references, and surreal imagery. The song opens with a direct address, “Been away a long time, very nice to see you,” setting a tone of return and re-engagement. Rocky’s verses move quickly between disparate ideas, from living next to a Beatle and asking Jesus for a feature to lines about an “anorexic model bitch” and being a “god in these streets.” This rapid-fire approach captures a mind oscillating between luxury, violence, legacy, and personal reflection. Phrases like “Fuck CO, please” and demands for vests and SIGs anchor the track in a gritty, defensive posture, while references to Dior and porcelain toilets sketch a world of high fashion and wealth.

The chorus and song structure create a stark contrast. The recurring lines “It’s really good to see you” and “Bumblebees are buzzin’” introduce a repetitive, almost psychedelic loop that feels detached from the aggression of the verses. This repetition builds a hypnotic effect, heightened by the repeated mantra “We high, we high, we high.” The bridge, with its insistent request for weaponry (“Gimme at least a vest, gimme at least some SIGs”), clashes deliberately with the melodic, drifting quality of the chorus sung with Spencer Sutherland. The second verse continues the thematic juxtaposition, name-dropping James Corden and Air Jordans while painting a picture of alienation: “Takin’ pics through the glass, it’s hard to feel like a person.”
For listeners using these lyrics for knowledge or karaoke, the text offers a challenging but engaging snapshot of Rocky’s lyrical style. The words prioritize rhythm, internal rhyme, and evocative phrasing over linear narrative. The inclusion of Spencer Sutherland on the latter choruses and the outro (“Free your mind, floating on the current”) adds a layer of pop accessibility and melodic release to the track’s dense rap verses. The lyrics function as a series of vivid impressions—part victory lap, part paranoid manifesto, part hazy celebration. Engaging with them provides insight into the complex tone of the ‘Don’t Be Dumb’ project, where bravado and vulnerability exist in close, intentional proximity.

Lyrics
[Verse 1: A$AP Rocky]
Been away a long time, very nice to see you
Pussy boy don’t really like me, I don’t like him either
Live on a rockstar street, next door a Beatle
When I die, I’ma ask Jesus for a feature
When they see him faintin’, seizure
Pop it, T’d up (Woo), mamacita (Yeah)
Had an anorexic model bitch, she was an eater (Yum)
If a nigga tryna slime me, I’ma do him greazy
I’m a god in these streets, all my bars MVP
My old hoes in D now, there’s more fish in the sea
Kiss my kids ‘fore I sleep, R.I.P. ODB
Fuck CO, fuck CO, please (Motherfuck O-P-Ps)
We wear jeans, we wear three
Wear my heart on my sleeve
Where your broad? She with me
Fuck you mean, “Fuck you mean,” nigga?
Fuck a checkup, nigga, run a check up
Let ’em rest up, tell ’em, “Catch up”
Let me dress it up, watch me flex up
Let me switch the style, shawty, turn around
[Pre-Chorus: A$AP Rocky]
‘Rari car alarm going off (Ooh)
Drive it like it’s stolen, pulling off (Ah)
Fuck the world, nigga live above the law (Ooh)
Niggas showing out, I’m going up, what?
[Chorus: A$AP Rocky]
It’s really good to see you (Good to see you)
Very nice to see you (Very nice to see you)
Once again (We high, we high, we high)
Every time
Bumblebees are buzzin’ (Bumblebees are buzzin’)
Alarms are ringing the bells again (We high, we high, we high, we high)
[Bridge: A$AP Rocky]
Gimme at least a vest, gimme at least some SIGs
Gimme at least a vest, gimme at least some blicks
Gimme at least a vest, gimme at least some SIGs
Gimme at least a vest, gimme at least them blicks
[Verse 2: A$AP Rocky]
Pretty boy hoppin’ off the porch
Pretty boy hoppin’ off the porch
City boy mobbin’ in New York
Pretty boy modelin’ Dior
Real wolfpack from the door
Smokin’ boof pack like a pack of Newports
Judge want my ass, smoke a pack in the court
Kickin’ in your door, all-black Air Force
Old-school whip, got a phone and it’s cordless
Glass slippers porcelain, it match with the toilets
I’m the type of nigga jump your man, Air Jordan
I be with your bitch late night, James Corden
Lay back nervous, I’m back, but a different version
I got her scratchin’ the walls, you barely scratchin’ the surface
I ain’t coppin’ no purses and I ain’t swappin’ no verses
Takin’ pics through the glass, it’s hard to feel like a person
[Pre-Chorus: A$AP Rocky]
‘Rari car alarm going off (Ooh)
Drive it like it’s stolen, pulling off (Ah)
Fuck the world, nigga live above the law (Ooh)
Niggas showing out, I’m going up, what?
[Chorus: A$AP Rocky & Spencer Sutherland]
It’s really good to see you (It’s so good to see you)
Very nice to see you
Once again (Ah, we high, we high, we high)
Every time (And the bumblebees are buzzin’)
Bumblebees are buzzin’ (I can’t help but love you)
Alarms are ringing the bells again (Ah, we high, we high, we high, we high)
[Post-Chorus: A$AP Rocky & Spencer Sutherland, Spencer Sutherland]
Free your mind
Floating on the current (Floating on the current)
Our hearts are racing
We’ll never feel alone again
[Outro: A$AP Rocky & Spencer Sutherland]
We high, we high, we high (Ooh)
We high, we high, we high (Yeah, oh)
We high, we high, we high (Ooh)
We high, we high, we high (We high, we are)
