CLASSIC MAN
I’m told it’ll all be all right
I can pull the wool while I’m being polite
Like, I may or may not win a fight
but I can be a bull while I’m being polite
Like, oh me oh me oh my
I know many people want to be in my life
Like, oh me oh me oh my
Why are hard licks my passage’s rite?
[Pre-Hook:]
Even if she go away, even if he go away
Even if dey go away, even if dey go away
[Hook:]
I’m a classic man
You can be mean when you look this clean
I’m a classic man
Silence deafening like a young OG
I’m a classic man
Your needs get met by the street, restrained and impassioned man
Yeah baby I’m a classic man
I burn through the ‘hood like whoa
know I’m on point when the haters so cold…
I idolize folks I don’t know
And fellies get jelly off a bit of my glow…
I got charm like a leprechaun, mummafunka
I feed off myths whenever I’m wrong mummafunka
Don’t Not treat me like a don, mummafunka
And we don’t live by the law, mummafunka
[Pre-Hook]
Even if she go away, even if he go away
Even if dey go away, even if dey go away
I’m a classic man
I can pull a big cult
Even when I’m at fault
I’m a classic man
I can Be out of pocket
And neva say sorry no worry
I’m a classic man
Always the first to explain
If I know or I don’t it’s the same
Most spaces I find I can claim
Keep my gloves dirty
But my Hands clean
Gotta keep the business in the family
Bread when I’m filling up the pantry
Now my slaves slang ‘caine like a dandy
I tell you how it go —
You pull out the rubber bands, I pull out an envelope
The ladies on my elbow ain’t for the show
Every madame on my team is a top general, oh
Got to be ready for war, (war!)
Should they start to envy doors, (doors!)
We’ll get ’em, we’ll get ’em, I know that we’ll get ’em
‘Cause I lived through this shit all before, oh
Even if she go away, even if they go away
Even if he go away, even if they go away
[Hook:]
I’m a classic man
You can be mean when you look this clean
I’m a classic man
For basic respect for others I deserve a cookie
I’m a classic man
Your needs get met by the street,
Restrained yet impassioned man.
Yeah baby I’m classic man.
