(Verse 1 – Kendrick Lamar)
I’m the only ni**a doing it
You other ni**as ruined it
I’m too legit, go Hammer wit the foolishness
My nana said my grammar can maneuver this industry
Until I’m stupid rich and now I’m stupid rich, ah
Even if she go away, even if she go away
Assuming this is what they humor is
To Pimp a Butterfly my newest s**t
Effective rumor is the way I proven it
(Chorus – Jidenna)
I’m a classic man
You can be mean when you look this clean, I’m a classic man
Calling on me like a young O.G, I’m a classic man
Your needs get met by the street, elegant old fashioned man
Yeah, baby, I’m a classic man
(Verse 2 – Jidenna)
I burn through the hood like, whoa
When everybody’s feeling so cold
I cool like Nat King Cole and ni**as get a bit of my glow
I got charm like a leprechaun, mamaf**ker
Now y’all f**king with the wrong mamaf**ker
Treat me like a don, mamaf**ker
And we don’t live by the law, mamaf**ker
(Pre Chorus – Jidenna)
Even if she go away, even if she go away
Even if she go away, even if she go away
(Repeat Chorus)
(Verse 2 0 Kendrick Lamar)
Classic man That’s on my mama though
I got piranha flow, f**king up your designer clothes
Casket man where be your rapper’s angle?
Bunch of subliminal bi**hes, I’d rather fingerbang em
Oh, ke-mo sah bee, pray to God nobody try me
Catch a body over nothing, top couldn’t even stop me
I got key to my city, I got key to California
I might legalize your homicide and more marijuana
Let my daddy smoke his weed, only thing they keep on Philly
I ain’t got no jewelry on me, bi**h, I got the jewelry in me
Oh, s**t, let me talk my s**t, I always been the s**t
This ain’t overnight, they love me now like they loved me then
I know what I like, I eat the pu**y for my nourishment
I know how to cherish it
I know how to decorate your wall and further furnish it
I’m a burn your s**t down, this is what the furnace is
I’m a turn your s**t around wit some friendly services
Ain’t no nervousness like I’m ratchet or conservative
And that’s affirmative
All I do is lay up and face up my big bills and paste up
Got no chill for fake ones, like, for real, they say
(Repeat Chorus)
(Verse 3 – Jidenna)
Keep my gloves dirty but my hands clean
Got to keep the business in the family
Bread when I’m filling up the pantry
Now my ni**as slang caine like a dandy
I tell you how it go
You pull out rubber bands, I pull out an envelope
The ladies on my elbow ain’t for the show
Every madam on my team is a top general, oh
Got to be ready for war war
Should they get into my door? door
Get em, we’ll get em, I know that we’ll get em
Cause I lived through this s**t before, oh
(Repeat Chorus)
(Outro)
I’m a classic man, even if she go away, even if she go away
I’m a classic man, even if she go away, even if she go away
I’m a classic man, old fashioned man
