About This Track

T.I. builds 'ASAP' around a single, relentless demand: immediate respect and swift consequences for those who test him. The track moves with propulsive confidence, T.I. stacking boasts about wealth, firepower and street credibility across two verses that rarely pause for breath. He positions himself as untouchable, a figure of such established power that rivals know better than to engage. The song trades in the swagger and material specificity that defined mid-2000s hip-hop, but T.I. keeps the focus tight. He names his label, his jewellery, his car, his girl's car, and cycles back to the core threat: move against him and face immediate, violent removal from the game. There is little room for nuance here, and none is offered. The chorus hammers the acronym into a chant, turning the title into both a warning and a boast about how quickly his enemies will be dealt with.

"ASAP" is a track by T.I., from the album Urban Legend, released 30th November 2004. Full lyrics are available below.

Lyrics

ASAP

[Intro]

Asap, asap, asap

Asap, asap, asap

Ay, ay, ay, ay, ay, (You niggas better exit asap) ay, ay (Sap), ay (Sap), ay (Sap), ay (Sap), ay (S), ay (P), ay (S), ay (P)

Asap, asap, asap, asap

Ay (S), ay (P), ay (S), ay (P)

Asap, asap, asap, asap

Ay (S), ay (P), ay (S), ay (P)

Asap, asap, asap, asap

Ay (S), ay (A.p.), ay (S), ay (A.p.)

[Verse 1]

I'm on my grind, Grand Hustle

Got the mind and the muscle

50 carats in the crown just to shine on you suckas

I still tote the Glock 40 for the haters and the bustas

Fuck probation, if a nigga try to play me I'ma bust him

I don't need no security, reaching for my jewelry

Get you niggas popped quick, filled full of hot shit

Fresh out the box Tip hopped in a drop 6

Made a quarter mil' in the pen givin' stock tips

Haters wanna stop Tip, mad 'cause they not Tip

Ball every summer so your baby mama jock Tip

You don't no drama pimp, I promise I do not slip

Chrome 4-5th, hid well if the cops trip

Bought my girl a Hummer with the chrome right in front of that

5 carat stones with the platinum all up under that

Rap beef, I ain't gon' participate in none of that

I'm aimin' at your fitted cap and you ain't gonna want none of that

[Chorus]

(Asap asap asap...)

A nigga try to play me, I'ma blow him off the map A-S-A-P

Ask anbody who runnin' A.G., bet they finna say me A-S-A-P

Niggas hatin' on P.S.C., get straightened A-S-A-P

A nigga try to play me, I'ma blow him off the map A-S-A-P

[Verse 2]

I know a lot of rappers don't like me, but they won't fight me

Feds swear I sell dope, well why they won't indict me?

Advances on the throne, I ain't never take it lightly

But all that tongue-wrestlin' hatin' while I'm gone don't excite me (Nigga you ain't scaring nobody)

How many rappers you know that could hold they own on Rice Street

East steady talkin' on the cell phone nightly

Normal population, half the jail just like me

Polices think I'm crazy, scared a nigga gon' strike me

Contrarily, a nigga tryin' me is unlikely

They barkin' don't bother me, I'll be bombin' 'fore they bite me

They just shocked to see my rap's exactly how my life be

Sheisty, with a conversation quite pricey

My fist so rocky and and wrist so icey

Might be, thrown off my rocker just slightly

Feisty, flamin' hot temper don't ignite me

I'm only gonna ask ya find the exit once politely

[Chorus]

(Asap asap asap...)

A nigga try to play me, I'ma blow him off the map A-S-A-P

Ask anbody who runnin' A.G., bet they finna say me A-S-A-P

Niggas hatin' on P.S.C., get straightened A-S-A-P

A nigga try to play me, I'ma blow him off the map A-S-A-P

[Verse 3]

Flip, say hello to the land of the people

My plan is to keep you at least 2, levels under me where I need you

I'ma take advantage of my chance to defeat you

Your true colors done shown, now it's on when I see you

I'm grown nigga, so let it be known we ain't equal

You sadly mistaken if you thinkin' I can't reach you

Beat you, to a fuckin' pulp if I need to

The very spot ya standin' in then is where I'll leave you

Seen on the scene, white tees and Evisu

O.G. status, I don't beef unless I need to

Sissy you way outta line and you runnin' outta time

Hang behind closed do's when ya heard I got some time

Yeah I know you were thinkin' outta sight and outta mind

But I'm the wrong one for you to try if you were tryna shine

Listen nigga this shit here is more than just a lotta rhymes

I don't know what ya do for your respect, but I'ma die for mine

[Chorus]

(Asap asap asap...)

A nigga try to play me, I'ma blow him off the map A-S-A-P

Ask anbody who runnin' A.G., bet they finna say me A-S-A-P

Niggas hatin' on P.S.C., get straightened A-S-A-P

A nigga try to play me, I'ma blow him off the map A-S-A-P
