lyrics

Look, straight up and down i never did the crooked
They offered 20, im worth more I told my n**** book it
Praise God my position isn't make or break it
I just wanted to spend the weekend in Spain
I ? it nice, dont give a fuck about how n****s took it
awkward stares like what the fuck you looking at
And thats all over the world
I'm no n**** with dreams of busting all over your girl
That's belittling, bigger schemes we been scribbling
Notice its plural dividend trickling 3 ways
Due to the penmanship I do shows at my leisure
And all these syncs is residual
Pop out occasional for the sake of relationships
Sanitize after handshakes and treat the weed like its riddlin
Trying to give you a visual, fuck all this censorship
Ni***s too sensitive, if your comfort ain't pivoting you ain't listening right
Granny praying for us, she say we ain't christianing right
Even water can't save mixing dark with the light
Corner the art with the business, no beauty mark but my point is these n****s running with scissors and headed straight for the plug
Mogul talking, business moving at the pace of a slug
Left the trail, had to bail, knew his heart wasn't in it
How you up banger then catch parkinson's wit it
A lot of yall hear that line and gon' know it well
I be on my show and prove not my show and tell
Then the whole defense about it be so Colin Powell

I was speeding had to slow it down
Off the fertilizer, n**** growing now (I mean)
Enterprising been compartmentalizing all my shit
A tornado flew around my room before you came
I straightened it, right before your eyes
you see my stains, you see me basically
Picking up the pieces

about

Mick Jenkins image

Mick Jenkins Chicago, Illinois

Mick Jenkins’ writing is rich with hard-won perspective and dotted with impressively specific, naturalistic details. But on a thematic level, it digs deeper than the here and now, the bus stop in front of him, the string of tour dates looming ahead. His music explores things that humans feel on an intuitive level but struggle to fully understand. ... more
