About This Track

A$AP Rocky's chorus frames the track's central proposition with deliberate irony: friendship as a thin pretext for seduction. The hook cycles through the same refrain, each repetition sharpening the gap between what's being offered and what's actually wanted. Beneath that sits a straightforward transaction, laid out without pretence across verses from A$AP Ant and Smooky MarGielaa. Luxury goods, car names, designer labels, and the promise of material excess form the vocabulary of attraction here. The track moves through its subject matter with a kind of matter-of-fact swagger. A$AP Ant opens with explicit intent, then pivots to inventory: Margiela, Celine, high-end retail, imported companions. Smooky MarGielaa follows with a similar logic, stacking Bentleys and Phantoms against the smaller currency of attention and affection. The song treats desire as a straightforward economic exchange, one where the currency happens to be visible wealth and access. There is no mystery in the construction, no pretence beyond the opening gambit of the chorus itself.

"BYF" is a track by A$AP Mob, from the album Cozy Tapes, Vol. 2: Too Cozy, released 25th August 2017. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

BYF

[Chorus: A$AP Rocky]

I just, I just wanna be your friend

(I just, I just)

I just, I, I, I just wanna be your friend

(I just, I)

And I, and I- menage with me and your girlfriend

This new sensation won't feel the same again

[Verse 1: A$AP Ant]

Trying to fuck you and your friend shawty

Trying to put a dick in your bitch, I'm sorry

Care about the bitch, pass that to Carti

Playing with the money like the game Atari

Might go to Saks Fifth, might go to Barney's

Margiela on me looking so clean

Young nigga clean like Listerine

Got a new shawty from the Philippines

Riding real slow, still getting this dough

Celine on my Oscars 'cause I gotta stay low

Smoking on Fronto, you're still smoking dro

Feel on the girls in the Uber Tahoe

When I pull up it's a car show

Neon lights, my car glow

Big bank like Wells Fargo

Trying to get a Murcielago

[Chorus: A$AP Rocky]

I just, I just wanna be your friend

(I just, I just)

I just, I, I, I just wanna be your friend

(I just, I)

And I, and I- menage with me and your girlfriend

This new sensation won't feel the same again

[Verse 2: Smooky MarGielaa]

I just wanna be your friend

Come through, we could count hundreds, no 10s

Come chill with MarGielaa man

What you wanna ride? Got a Bentley in the back

Ayy, baby in a Benz now

Now she wanna pull up in a Phantom

Back on

Ever since she don't gotta stress

Blue bills in my pocket Benjamins

Diamonds on my wrist, shine glistening

You came with the shawty in the rented whip

I fucked up my shawty in expensive shit

Buy her anything she need

Fly her out to Germany

She post pictures I retweet

Give her shit she never seen, ayy

[Chorus: A$AP Rocky]

I just, I just wanna be your friend

(I just, I just)

I just, I, I, I just wanna be your friend

(I just, I)

And I, and I- menage with me and your girlfriend

This new sensation won't feel the same again
