Lyrics

[Verse 1]
My name, callin' all night
I can pull the wool while I'm being polite
Like, darling callin' all night
I can be a bull while I'm being polite
Like, oh me, oh me, oh my
I know many women wanna be in my life
Like, oh me, oh me, oh my
Why can't every woman end up bein' my wife?
[Verse 2]
Even if she go away, even if she go away
Even if she go away, even if she go away
[Verse 3]
I'm a classic man, you can be mean when you look this clean
I'm a classic man
Callin' on me like a young OG, I'm a classic man
Your needs get met by the street, elegant old-fashioned man
Yeah baby, I'm a classic man
[Verse 4]
I burn through the hood like whoa
When e'rybody feeling so cold
I cool like Nat King Cole
And **** get a bit of my glow
I got charm like a leprechaun, mummafucka
Now y'all fuckin' with the wrong mummafucka
Treat me like a don, mummafucka
And we don't live by the law, mummafucka
[Verse 5]
Even if she go away, even if she go away
Even if she go away, even if she go away
[Verse 6]
I'm a classic man, you can be mean when you look this clean
I'm a classic man
Callin' on me like a young OG, I'm a classic man
Your needs get met by the street, elegant old-fashioned man
Yeah baby, I'm a classic man
[Verse 7]
I burn through the gate like whoa
And everybody get in, we know
I love life, livin' like gold
And **** want to get in my glow
I got mad love for my crew, mu'fucka
I'm the, I'm the man, who are you, mu'fucka?
Shine bright like a jewel, mummafucka
Even under fire I'm cool, mummafucka
[Verse 8]
Even when she go away, even when she go away
Even when she go away, even when she go away
[Verse 9]
I'm a classic man, you can be mean when you look this clean
I'm a classic man
Callin' on me like a young OG, I'm a classic man
Your needs get met by the street, elegant old-fashioned man
Yeah baby, I'm a classic man
[Verse 10]
Keep my gloves dirty, but my hands clean
Gotta keep the business in the family
Breadwinner fillin' up the pantry
Now my **** slang cane 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 madame 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 shit before, oh
[Verse 11]
I'm a classic man, you can be mean when you look this clean
I'm a classic man
Callin' on me like a young OG, I'm a classic man
Your needs get met by the street, elegant old-fashioned man
Yeah baby, I'm a classic man
[Verse 12]
I'm a classic man
I'm a classic man
I'm a classic man
Old-fashioned man
