Lyrics

[Intro]
I'm the only **** doin' it, you other **** ruined it
I'm too legit, go Hammer with the foolishness
My nana said my grandma 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) Woo, woo-woo
Assuming this is what they humor is
To Pimp A Butterfly my newest shit
In fact the rumor is the way I proven it
[Chorus]
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 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 1]
I burn through the hood like, whoa
When everybody feeling so cold
I cool like Nat King Cole
And **** get a bit of my glow
I got charm like a leprechaun, motherfucker
Now y'all fucking with the wrong motherfucker
Chief be like a Don, motherfucker
And we don't live by the law, motherfucker
[Refrain]
Even if she go away, even if she go away
Even if she go away, even if she go away
[Chorus]
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 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
Classic man
[Verse 2]
That's on my mama, though
I got piranha flow fucking up your designer clothes (Casket man)
Where be your rappers angle?
Bunch of subliminal bitches, I'd rather finger bang 'em
Oh, kemosabe, 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 that keep him friendly
I ain't got no jewelry on me, bitch, I got the jewelry in me
Oh shit, let me talk my shit, I always been the shit
This ain't overnight, they love me now like they loved me then
I know what I like, I eat the pussy for my nourishment
I know how to cherish it, I know how to decorate your wall and further furnish it
I'ma burn your shit down, this is what the furnace is
I'ma turn your shit around with 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 pay stub
Got no chill for fake ones, like, for real, they say I'm
[Chorus]
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 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 3]
Keep my gloves dirty, but my hands clean
Gotta keep the business in the family
Breadwinner filling up the pantry
Now my **** 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
Gotta 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 though this shit before, oh
[Chorus]
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 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
[Refrain]
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)
[Outro]
I'm a classic man
Old-fashioned man
I'm a classic man
