The song ‘Tailor Swif’ by A Rocky featuring A$AP Rocky is a high-energy track that flexes their lifestyle, success, and street credibility. The lyrics dive into themes of wealth, relationships, and street life, all while maintaining a confident and braggadocious tone.
The hook, ‘I’m too swift, don’t tell Taylor ’bout this shit,’ is a play on words referencing Taylor Swift. It emphasizes the artists’ quick moves and sharp style, while also hinting at keeping their activities under wraps.
In the first verse, A Rocky starts with ‘Shoot my shot, got her wet,’ which means he made a successful move on a girl. ‘Bet that’s all net, girl, that’s wetty’ refers to making a perfect shot in basketball, symbolizing success. ‘Ready, gave me all neck, I’ll be headin’, ready’ talks about receiving oral sex and being prepared for more.
He continues with ‘Might just sign my ex-girl, on Malcolm and Eddie, already,’ referencing the sitcom ‘Malcolm & Eddie’ and implying he might get back with his ex. ‘Your ass might just go and get upset, don’t be petty, already’ warns others not to be jealous.
The line ‘Smoke sess, so you stressed, boy, that’s Reggie, a ready’ contrasts high-quality weed (sess) with low-quality (Reggie). ‘Got cadets in my set, who up next? Boy, they ready’ means his crew is prepared for anything.
In the chorus, A Rocky and A$AP Rocky repeatedly emphasize their swiftness and style, ‘Go to my tailor, got me dripped like,’ meaning their tailor keeps them looking sharp. ‘Dripped up than a bitch’ is slang for being well-dressed.
A$AP Rocky’s verse dives deeper into his past, ‘Was a stick-up kid, imagine all the shit I did,’ reflecting on his younger, more reckless days. ‘Violent, I was just a kid, I just fucked this feminist’ juxtaposes his past violence with a recent sexual encounter.
He continues with ‘Shawty, I ain’t feminine, why don’t you give my dick a kiss?’ showing his assertiveness. ‘She tryna give my dick a kid, ridin’ on my strip again’ implies a girl wants to have his child, and he’s back in his old neighborhood.
The line ‘Got these niggas sick again, hit a lick again’ means he’s making others jealous with his success and pulling off another heist. ‘We gon’ freak, we gon’ freak, we gon’ hold on’ suggests a wild time ahead.
The song ends with the chorus repeating, reinforcing their swift moves and stylish appearance. The recurring theme of ‘don’t tell Taylor’ ties back to keeping their actions discreet. Overall, ‘Tailor Swif’ showcases A Rocky and A$AP Rocky’s confidence, street smarts, and success, all wrapped in clever wordplay and vivid imagery.
