A$AP Rocky’s new song “Both Eyes Closed” is part of the soundtrack for Spike Lee’s neo-noir crime thriller Highest 2 Lowest. The track mixes Rocky’s unique hip-hop style with a darker and more cinematic sound. The lyrics, dripping with moody swagger, perfectly sync with the film’s gritty music industry tale, where Rocky plays an aspiring rapper turned kidnapper. His slick delivery and atmospheric production make this a must-listen for hip-hop fans and cinephiles alike.
In “Both Eyes Closed”, Rocky raps with confidence but also shows a more serious side. The song reflects the life of an upcoming rapper who struggles between dreams, moral choices, and the dark side of the music industry. If you’ve heard his earlier track from the same album, “Trunks,” you’ll notice that together they set the perfect tone for the movie. Both songs will release with the film on August 15, making the soundtrack a must-listen for fans of music and cinema.

Lyrics of Both Eyes Closed by A$AP Rocky
[Intro]
Goin’ One Way Down A Wide Road, Both Eyes Closed
Hope I Don’t Drown, But The Tide’s Low, Both Eyes Closed
One Way Down A Wide Road, Both Eyes Closed
And I’m High Of The High Dro’, Both Eyes Closed
[Chorus]
Goin’ One Way Down A Wide Road, Both Eyes Closed
Hope I Don’t Drown, But The Tide’s Low, Both Eyes Closed
One Way Down A Wide Road, Both Eyes Closed
And I’m High Of The High Dro’, Both Eyes Closed
Goin’ One Way Down A Wide Road, Both Eyes Closed
Hope I Don’t Drown, But The Tide’s Low, Both Eyes Closed
One Way Down A Wide Road, Both Eyes Closed
And I’m High Of The High Dro’, Both Eyes Closed
[Verse 1]
Any Time I Get A Chance To Hit—, Man, I’m Sick
Seen Some Shit That Made Me Cry, Baby Die From Genocide
Middle Finger To The Man, Fuck The Klan, I Know You Hate My Kind
God, Tell Me Why My Kind Gotta Suffer, Bro, Why?
Mama, Tell Me Why You Slangin’ Pies Just To Make It By?
Papa, Tell Me Why You Doin’ Time? Ain’t Commit No Crime
Every Man For Themself, Where I’m From, That’s How It’s Been
Ain’t Shit Changed, Might’ve Hit A Stain Every Now And Then
[Chorus]
Goin’ One Way Down A Wide Road, Both Eyes Closed
Hope I Don’t Drown, But The Tide’s Low, Both Eyes Closed
One Way Down A Wide Road, Both Eyes Closed
And I’m High Of The High Dro’, Both Eyes Closed
Goin’ One Way Down A Wide Road, Both Eyes Closed
Hope I Don’t Drown, But The Tide’s Low, Both Eyes Closed
One Way Down A Wide Road, Both Eyes Closed
And I’m High Of The High Dro’, Both Eyes Closed
[Verse 2]
Back Couch, Packed House, Packed Out When I Perform
Sold Out The Forum, Niggas Ride The Wave, No Aquaphor
Aquafina Got ’em Fiendin’, Hope To God That Y’all Withdrawl
Who You To Judge? No Subpoena, You Ain’t Even Shell-shocked Before
But Wait ’til I, I, Just Wait ’til I, I Return
I, I Return, I, I Can’t Wait ’til
I, I, Just Wait ’til I, I Return
I, I Can’t Wait ’til I, I Return
I Don’t Got No Purpose, I’m Just Lonely On This Road
I Ain’t Fuck With Satan ’cause I Never Sold My Soul
I Been Not Complainin’, Posted Up, I’m Ten Toes
I Been Feelin’ Lonely Just ’cause Everybody Gone
Gone, Gone, Gone, Gone
Gone, Gone, Gone, Gone
[Chorus]
Goin’ One Way Down A Wide Road, Both Eyes Closed
Hope I Don’t Drown, But The Tide’s Low, Both Eyes Closed
One Way Down A Wide Road, Both Eyes Closed
And I’m High Of The High Dro’, Both Eyes Closed
[Bridge]
Move My Seat Back And Take My Hands Off The Wheel
Take My Last Puff, Exhale
Suicidal Tendencies, I Don’t Know What’s Real
Before I Die, Pray To God That I Don’t Go To Hell
[Chorus]
Goin’ One Way Down A Wide Road, Both Eyes Closed
Hope I Don’t Drown, But The Tide’s Low, Both Eyes Closed
[Outro]
Down This Lonely Road (Both Eyes Closed, Oh)
Just A Lonely Soul (Both Eyes Closed)
No Where Else To Go (Both Eyes Closed, Oh)
Heaven Only Knows (Both Eyes Closed, Oh)
Hellbound, Ten Toes (Both Eyes Closed)
Just Bought A New Whip, But What’s It Worth?
Can’t Help Me Escape, This Hell On Earth
That New Maybach, What? Better Close Them Curtains
Gotta Close My Eyes, Gotta Go To God
