Interesting facts and trivia about Pharsyde (feat. Joe Fox). By Songfacts®.

This Danger Mouse produced morbid track finds A$AP Rocky rapping about finding clarity in LSD. He is joined on the cut by Joe Fox, one of five contributions the up-and-coming British musician made to At.Long.Last.A$AP. Speaking on Hot 97's Ebro in the Morning, Rocky explained how he first encountered Fox on the streets of London. "I met the man. He was a street performer. [I met him in] London. I was at Dean's Studio until 4 a.m. I came outside and we waiting for our Uber to go to Starbucks, tired. This kid comes with his guitar and stuff. He was out there playing and stuff and he comes. It was about 4 a.m. so there's nobody in the streets. He tried to give me a CD and s--t. I was like, 'I'm not about to listen to that, man. Play something. You got your guitar.' He played it and I was just like, 'Stop man. Come on let's go.' That's where it started." Rocky took Joe Fox in. "We did the album - pause - we live together," he said. "That's the homie, he's one of the brothers."

The second verse starts with Rocky spitting: "Gentrification split the nation I was raised in." He explained the lyric to Complex magazine: "It's f---ed up. That's all it is. Cops killing people, people killing cops. It's all f---ked up." "I think it'll all change soon," Rocky continued. "I think people with a badge - or not - are gonna stop abusing authority across the world, and learn to appreciate one another. For real. [Smiles.] All they need is weed, some love, some good sex, some good-ass music. I'm talking about a night with something exotic.
