[Intro: Lil Yachty]
How many problems get solved?
How many problems get solved?
How many problems get solved? Mm, nah (Ah)
[Verse 1: A$AP Rocky, Miguel & Lil Yachty]
Niggas dyin' every other night (Solved)
Niggas cryin', that's a part of life
Lyin' to my face (Solved), tryna say that it's all good (Ooh)
No, it's nothin' right (Shame on, shame, ooh, shame on, ah)
Put your five fingers high, to the sky
On the stand, put it on your life
Stand by a nigga, wrong or right
Not new to drama, nigga, all my life
Not new to trauma, nigga, all my life (Ooh)
Been duckin' karma, nigga, all my life (Shame on, ah, shame, ooh, shame on)
[Chorus: A$AP Rocky & Miguel]
How many problems get solved? (Ooh)
Am I a product of things that I saw?
How many problems get solved? (Ooh)
Am I a product of things in my songs?
How many problems get solved? (Ooh)
Am I a product of all of my flaws?
How many problems get solved (Ooh)
If we don't get involved?
[Verse 2: A$AP Rocky]
Don't bite the hand that feed you
I don't hear or see no evil
Dilatin' like my pupils
Means I already peeped you
Annihilated all my people (Ah)
Violated, 'til we tower like we skyscrapers (Shame on)
Jumpin' off the porch or fire escape (Shame)
We ain't even fuckin' tie-breaker (Ooh, shame don't)
All black like I'm tryna break in
This that crack, call him Ronald Reagan
A$AP mode, I'm tired of waitin' (Let's get it)
[Chorus: A$AP Rocky & Miguel]
How many problems get solved? (Ooh)
Am I a product of things that I saw?
How many problems get solved? (Ooh)
Am I a product of things in my songs?
How many problems get solved? (Ooh)
Am I a product of all of my flaws?
How many problems get solved (Ooh)
If we don't get involved?
[Verse 3: A$AP Rocky]
Silent night, holy night
Bullets flyin', better duck and dive (Phew, phew, phew, phew, phew, phew)
The darkest spaces were so fun to hide
'Member callin' daddy, said, "Turn on the lights" (Ah)
Went from sellin' out shows to sellin' white
Niggas cryin' in they jail cell at night (Shame on)
Mamas cryin', it's a part of life (Shame)
Mama say I'm high as satellite (Ooh, shame on)
I won't drop the bag even when I'm breakin' nice
If you drop the bag, you ain't weigh it right
Breakin' bad, I was breakin' night, Kid Cudi, "Day 'N Nite"
[Chorus: A$AP Rocky, Miguel & Both]
How many problems get solved? (Ooh)
Am I a product of things that I saw?
How many problems get solved? (Ooh, ooh)
Am I a product of things in my songs?
How many problems get solved? (Ooh)
Am I a product of all of my flaws?
How many problems get solved (Ooh, ooh)
If we don't get involved?
[Outro: Miguel]
Goin' down, I'm goin' down, goin' down, I'm goin' down
Goin' down, I'm goin' down, goin' down, I'm goin' down
Goin' down, goin' down, goin' down, goin' down

I think I was feeling remorse. I think I was feeling plight. I think I was also feeling a sense of guilt, because every time we lose somebody in our community, we all, especially me, have a habit of just saying things like, ‘It’s messed up. It’s wrong. Why do these kind of things happen?’ You ask a...
