[Intro: Mick Jenkins & Tommy Ford]

Hmm

(Cole, you stupid)

[Verse 1]

Since a shorty, Mama was kneading the dough

I been breakin' bread, grew up in the church

Did the stained glass, fam', I been breakin' bad

In a breeze on some windbreaker shit

In these trees like I got a hidden dragon

The balance is evident

Avatar, never out of 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 lightyears with the Hublot, a nigga too far ahead

Too slow coming off of the line, they talk drag

But it's a marathon, I thought he told you

[Refrain]

I just keep moppin' these flows

[Verse 2]

I just keep it clean as I'm suppose'

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 green

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 thing just a pyramid scheme

You never see, but keep hearing these things 'bout the dirt that we did

[Refrain]

I just keep moppin' these flows

[Verse 3]

Yeah, I just keep moppin' these flows

Who knows, the chemicals, shit got me exposed to

Fertilizer, we was just tryna grow

No pesticides, you gotta weed out your bros

Uncircumcised, got extra skin in the game

A million more like me in the fold

That's how I'm comin'

I hustle when a nigga didn't have, that's how I'm bummin'

A cash cow with big calves, that's how we run it

Wherever we grazed

If I spend it, it's a mail-in rebate

I get it back, I need it ASAP (ASAP), yeah

I need a mop, I hit the water with some Ajax, yeah

[Outro]

I mean, I feel like, I'm, I'm just now stepping into what I feel like is a, 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 they're expressing, you know, through the deepest parts of who they are

I think that's, that's a journey that you're on, um, and you know

Um, tryna 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 make mistakes and-and learn and grow from that

Understanding that it's all molding you to get to where you're going, um

Again, I just, I recognize there's a lot of patience in that

So, trying to have more of that
