The Fresh
I'm Paul Mooney with my Nigga usage sue me
I got it honest truly
Early 80's baby daddy's maybe
So certificates say
Its systemic
So as to posture and pretend to give a shit about the mental health of Niggas
There's bigger fish to filet
Resources to take
Knew you was comin I just keep baking cakes
Can't count the profit wit yo hand in my
Pocket
My hoes is honest got no problems 'cept
The problems ingrained
And even they ain't really holdin no weight when I meditate, medicate
Procreate
Raise wild seeds proud me
Blackest berry tryna stay sweet
In paper bag test class, they chase green mostly
But the base stay holy
I look up to Axel Foley
I don't hang round wit no phoneys
Gotta show me or the old me creep on any street.
Can't hold me
I deal in facts and not supposedly
You know its me.
I made somethin beautiful outta nothin.
Pressure and time
Pressure inside
Got me putitn pressure gonna miss the whole vibe
Maybe just my imagination David Ruffin
But I'm fresh and I'm fly
Fresh when I slide
Roses stay fresh you can smell em outside
You know its me
We came from the flowers of seeds, planted hours ago
ain't worth the plastic that they wrapped in, sorry little bro
Like black men bitchin about back then around the water coolers
the fact is they complain but stlll won't drive a new
But what you know about hooping while flippin burgers at Crystals
How about Atheist workin book stores for Christians
How about bussin bricks in the summers wit your uncles
**** yo thumbup with the hammer
Iodine from yo Grandma
Now its back to Atlanta, back into the books
Architect is on the mind but I tease the look
He throwing parties at the apartments, little guys barely started
Theres free money comin in a nigga is hooked
Fast forward free need it money back
with years of forbearance frees interest is stacked
the lesson nothing is free, work the grill or for degrees
Belief in no work is dead, put some lotion on your knees and go!
I made somethin beautiful outta nothin.
Pressure and time
Pressure inside
Got me putitn pressure gonna miss the whole vibe
Maybe just my imagination David Ruffin
But I'm fresh and I'm fly
Fresh when I slide
Roses stay fresh you can smell em outside
You know its me
I hear them snake tongues hissin
but as long as that bass drum hittin I create something different
I escape into the rhythm executive decision
Ya I'm reppin what I'm livin, so don't expect nothin different
While I'm in my skin that's all black
My walk and my talk match
I do my thing until i'm fin like a sharks back
On and off tracks its all about character
Most are just caricatures, dying behind self built barriers
While I'm living like
How can I stay unconfined
They say flowers cant grow without sunshine
They germinate in soil my determined fate is royal
I observe and wait they spoil
preserve by hate the boil
They become writher from the bitterness
Truth is too big for you to belittle this
I made somethin beautiful outta nothin.
Pressure and time
Pressure inside
Got me putitn pressure gonna miss the whole vibe
Maybe just my imagination David Ruffin
But I'm fresh and I'm fly
Fresh when I slide
Roses stay fresh you can smell em outside
You know its me
