Mick Jenkins - Mop Lyrics

(Cole, you stupid)

Since a shorty, momma was kneading the dough
I been breaking bread
Grew up in the church, did the stained glass
Fam, I been breaking bad
In the breeze on some windbreaker shit
In these trees like I got a hidden dragon
The balance is evident
Avatar, never outta my element
If I can I'm star trekking it too
I mean, let's be for real
Y'all can't glow where my hue go
Or clock light years wit' the Hublot a nigga too far ahead
Too slow comin' off a the line
They talk drag but it's a marathon, I thought he told you

I just keep mopping these flows

I just keep it clean as I'm 'spose
Fabric softener, these niggas is hoes
Fresh out the machine the way I seen niggas fold
I do my paper the same
Landscaping know my grass look greener
I ain't gon' say it's the same
But you know shit ain't always what it seems
It's common French I stay schemin'
I ain't playing them games
Whole thang just a pyramid scheme
We never see but keep hearing these things
'Bout the dirt that we did

I just keep mopping these flows

Yeah, I just keep mopping these flows
Who knows the chemicals shit got me exposed to
Fertilizer we was just trying to grow
No pesticides, you got weed out ya bros
Uncircumcised got extra skin in the game
A million more like me in the fold
That's how I'm coming
I hustled when a nigga didn't have that's how I'm bumming
A cash cow wit' big calves, that's how we run it
Wherever we grazed
If I spend it, it's mail in rebate
I get it back, I need it ASAP
Yeah

I need a mop, I hit the water wit' some Ajax
Yeah

I mean I feel like I'm, I'm just now stepping into
What I feel like is, is a full agency over my creativity
My artistry, my, my, my, uh, my business, um, and even myself as a man
And I think it just takes time to get there, you know
I don't think that that's something that anybody is gifted
When they become, you know, a man
Or when they find out who they are
When they step into an industry, you know, where expressin', you know
The deepest parts of who they are
I think that's a, that's a journey that you're on and, you know
Um, trying to rush that doesn't get you anywhere
Except where you don't wanna be fast, you know, so
Um, allowing that process to be, be it
Um, allowing yourself to, to make mistakes and learn and grow from that
Understanding that it's all moulding you to get to where you're going
Um, again, I just, I recognize it's a lot of patience in that
So, trying to have more of that
