Curtis Mayfield
Pusherman
[Verse 1]
I'm your mama, I'm your daddy
I'm that n***a in the alley
I'm your doctor when in need
Want some coke? Have some weed
You know me, I'm your friend
Your main boy, thick and thin

[Chorus]
I'm your pusherman
I'm your pusherman
Hahaha

[Verse 2]
Ain't I clean? Bad machine
Super cool, super mean
Feelin' good for the man
Super fly, here I stand
Secret stash, heavy bread
Baddest bitches in the bed

[Chorus]
I'm your pusherman
I'm your pusherman
I'm your pusher, man
[Bridge]
Silent life
Of crime
A man of odd circumstance
A victim of ghetto demands
Feed me money for style
And I'll let you trip for a while
Insecure from the past
How long can a good thing last?
Woohoo, oh, no
Got to be mellow, y'all
Got to get mellow now
Pusherman gettin' mellow, y'all

[Verse 3]
Heavy mind, heavy sign
Makin' money, all the time
My 'El D' and just me
For all junkies to see
Ghetto prince is my thing
Makin' love's how I swing

[Chorus]
I'm your pusherman
I'm your pusherman
Huh, ha
[Bridge 2]
"Two bags, please"
For a generous fee
Make your world
What you want it to be
Got a woman
I love desperately
Wanna give her somethin'
Better than me
Been told I can't be nothin' else
Just a hustler in spite of myself
I know I can break it
This life just don't make it
Lord, Lord, yeah
Got to get mellow now
Got to be mellow, y'all
Got to get mellow now

[Verse 1]
I'm your mama, I'm your daddy
I'm that n***a in the alley
I'm your doctor when in need
Want some coke? Have some weed
You know me, I'm your friend
Your main boy, thick and thin
[Chorus]
I'm your pusherman
I'm your pusherman

I'm your pusherman
Your pusherman

[Outro]
Lord, Lord
It's all messed up
