Mop
[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 n***a 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 n***as is hoes
Fresh out the machine, the way I seen n***as 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 n***a 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
