Mop Songtext
von Mick Jenkins

Hmm (Cole, you stupid)

Since a shorty, mama was kneadin′ 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 outta 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 light-years with the Hublot, a - too far ahead
Too slow comin′ off of the line, they talk drag
But it's a marathon, I thought he told you

I just keep moppin′ these flows


I just keep it clean as I'm suppose′, fabric softener, these -as is hoes
Fresh out the machine, the way I seen - fold, I do my paper the same
Landscapin', know my grass look green
I ain't gon′ say it′s the same, but you know, sh- ain't always what it seems
It′s common French, I stay schemin', I ain′t playin' ′em games
Whole thing just a pyramid scheme
You never see, but keep hearin' these things 'bout the dirt that we did

I just keep moppin′ these flows

Yeah, I just keep moppin′ these flows
Who knows, the chemicals, sh- 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 - 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

I mean, I feel like, I′m-I'm just now steppin′ 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 somethin' 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 expressin', 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, allowin' that process to be, be it, um
Allowin′ yourself to-to make mistakes and-and learn and grow from that
Understandin' that it′s all moldin' you to get to where you're goin′, um
Again, I just, I recognize there′s a lotta patience in that
So, tryna have more of that
