What is the meaning behind “She eyein’ me like a nigga don’t exist Girl, I know you want this dick”? Fuckin’ Problems by A$AP Rocky (Ft. 2 Chainz, Drake & Kendrick Lamar)

What is the meaning behind “Got your girl on my line, world on my line The irony, I fuck ’em at the same damn time”? Fuckin’ Problems by A$AP Rocky (Ft. 2 Chainz, Drake & Kendrick Lamar)
Kendrick references Future ’s 2011 single “Same Damn Time,” which spawned countless remixes . The irony is that “your girl” is also “your world” if she means everything to you.

What is the meaning behind “My pep talk turn into a pep rally”? Fuckin’ Problems by A$AP Rocky (Ft. 2 Chainz, Drake & Kendrick Lamar)

What is the meaning behind “Uh, yeah, ho, this the finale”? Fuckin’ Problems by A$AP Rocky (Ft. 2 Chainz, Drake & Kendrick Lamar)
Kendrick Lamar takes the final verse. As Jay Electronica learned on “Control,” it’s usually best to let Kendrick go last.
What is the meaning behind “[Verse 3: Kendrick Lamar]”? Fuckin’ Problems by A$AP Rocky (Ft. 2 Chainz, Drake & Kendrick Lamar)
Word has it that this song was originally intended for good kid, m.A.A.d. city but ended up on LONG.LIVE.A$AP. instead. For more information about its history, see the song bio above. Lucky for us, there’s still a lost verse for the dedicated Kendrick Lamar fans out there:
