Shabba Lyrics

[Produced by Snugsworth & Additional production by Marvel Alexander]

[Verse 1: A$AP Ferg]
Short nigga but my dick tall
What I told your bitch, dog
Only thug nigga down at the Pitchfork
Dirty van bitches wanna suck my dick off
Pop a Xanny for a penny
Get to hit floor, run up in this shit raw
I got a girl, I ain't never got no fuckin' condoms
If she caught me, then that bitch would be pissed off (Real nigga shit)
Fergy be mobbing all day, prolly with Marty or Jay
Them my niggas from back in the day, Tarzan ain't showing his face
He prolly the one with the K, fronting then he letting it spray
Two shots to a bumboclaat man, Shabba Ranks let it go to your brain
Front then he coming your way, let the semi dump-dump then he coming your way
Dump when the bad man come, my yute don't ramp with me
Coupe full of bad hoes, they all wanna come with me
You got a coupe with a sad ho cause she wanna come with me
Shabba

[Chorus: A$AP Ferg]
Shab-Shabba Ranks, Shab-Shab-Shabba Ranks
Eight gold rings like I'm Shab-Shabba Ranks
Four gold chains like I'm Shab-Shabba Ranks
One gold tooth like I'm Shab-Shabba Ranks
Shab-Shabba Ranks, Shab-Shab-Shabba Ranks
Eight gold rings like I'm Shab-Shabba Ranks
Two bad bitches like I'm Shab-Shabba Ranks
One gold tooth like I'm Shab-Shabba Ranks

[Verse 2: A$AP Rocky]
Skinny nigga but my dick long (Pause)
Stank puss make my dick soft
Probably bumping R. Kelly sipping Cristal
So you know the whole world getting pissed on
I don't really give a fuck if you pissed off
I just bought a Mac-11 from the thrift store
Traded for my gold chain and my pistol
Shoot a rocket make a mothafucka lift off
(Let's go)
Flacko be mobbing all day
With niggas that's chopping that yay
They chopping them choppas they handle my problems
Cause niggas be plotting these days
But the 'Rari kinda fast though, she told me pump my brakes
You stuck with a fat ho, and she wanna stuff her face
To all of my Dominican girls dem, all of my Caribbean girls dem
All my West Indian girls dem, I done fucked a million girls, damn
With a little ting a ling ling school bell a ring
Hit her with my ding-a-ling-a-ling, maybe run a train
And tell her that my niggas wanna bang and a little brain
And she wanna hang with the gang with a nigga named (Shabba)

[Chorus: A$AP Ferg]
Shab-Shabba Ranks, Shab-Shab-Shabba Ranks
Eight gold rings like I'm Shab-Shabba Ranks
Four gold chains like I'm Shab-Shabba Ranks
One gold tooth like I'm Shab-Shabba Ranks
Shab-Shabba Ranks, Shab-Shab-Shabba Ranks
Eight gold rings like I'm Shab-Shabba Ranks
Two bad bitches like I'm Shab-Shabba Ranks
One gold tooth like I'm Shab-Shabba Ranks

[Verse 3: A$AP Ferg]
I was broke last week but today be a new day
Mothafuckas like cavities, cause them niggas be too fake
Walk in this bitch with the new Wang, looking like Liu Kang
With a blonde bitch that wanna snoop cane
Then she get the Batman like Bruce Wayne (Master Bruce)
I be mobbing with the A, 'til my whole body decay
I don't give a fuck what you say, my whole team like a parade
Twelvyy got bags of the haze, Illi be smoking all day
Me and Rock run trains on the ho, he be like "Bitch, don't touch my braids"
Ty Beats in VA putting producers in graves
Yams got a bottle of Henny, going straight to the face
Ty Nast got a bad ho, but she's tryna come my way
But he got my last ho, so shit man it's okay
(Shabba)

[Chorus: A$AP Ferg]
Shab-Shabba Ranks, Shab-Shab-Shabba Ranks
Eight gold rings like I'm Shab-Shabba Ranks
Four gold chains like I'm Shab-Shabba Ranks
One gold tooth like I'm Shab-Shabba Ranks
Shab-Shabba Ranks, Shab-Shab-Shabba Ranks
Eight gold rings like I'm Shab-Shabba Ranks
Two bad bitches like I'm Shab-Shabba Ranks
One gold tooth like I'm Shab-Shabba Ranks
Shab-Shabba Ranks, Shab-Shabba Ranks...
Shab-Shabba Ranks, Shab-Shabba Ranks...

A$AP Ferg and affiliate A$AP Rocky team up for an ode to Jamaican dancehall legend Shabba Ranks, on the lead single for Ferg’s debut album, Trap Lord.

Over a sinister Snugsworth beat, Ferg and Rocky trade bars about their sexual endeavors and compare their exotic lifestyles to the legendary Emperor Ranks. The song was successful—reaching platinum certification by the RIAA on November 8, 2019, and peaked at #44 on the Billboard Hot 100 on August 3, 2013.

Accompanying visuals were released on July 15, 2013, and feature the two rappers enjoying a luxurious party in a mansion, along with multiple other A$AP Mob members. Shabba Ranks also has a brief cameo in the music video.

Four months later, on November 23, 2013, a remix was released, which boasted a feature from Shabba Ranks himself, along with Migos and Busta Rhymes.
