mthw - "almost smooth pt. ii" lyrics
[hook – matthew]
im a real renaissance man
run the new york marathon man
i hustle all around the clock like a con man
but im a kind hearted con artist
im like a creating more jobs man
i’m like the street steve jobs man!
that’s why i’m maccin awful hard
cause the apple doesn’t fall far
from the trees in van cortlandt park man
it’s almost smooth second part man!!
[bridge – matthew]
they thought that they could gentrify us
that was almost smooth
they thought that they could pacify us!
that was almost smooth
they thought that more money could buy us!
that was almost smooth
they thought they’d sneak in behind us
that was almost smooth
[verse i – matthew]
my modus operandi is be a smooth operator
within the boundaries of the least common denominator
you’re only an imposter if you’re an impersonator
the pioneers were the founders
we’re the new innovators!
from the glory days 90’s babies born during the golden age
now your favorite rapper’s favorite rappers over age!
from the stone ages
nowadays we’re living in the stoned ages
cause gr-ss roots go through growth phases!
[hook – matthew]
im a real renaissance man
run the new york marathon man
i hustle all around the clock like a con man
but im a kind hearted con artist
im like a creating more jobs man
i’m like the street steve jobs man!
that’s why i’m maccin awful hard
cause the apple doesn’t fall far
from the trees in van cortlandt park man
it’s almost smooth second part man!!
[verse ii – matthew]
it’s a modern harlem renaissance, we the resistance we dem les enphants
we make them gentrifiers go through early menopause!
excuse my french
f-ck ya fancy five star restaurants
all of your croissants, pan au chocolate stank -ss au possoin
we only ’bout that pan quotidian!
i only spend in business as black as renee lacoste
i fight for my community even in martyrdom
cause even after my death, my neighborhoods living on-
to infinity and beyond, my fifty nine fifty on!
this the fashion capital of the cultures hip hop
and we been wearing ankhs with tattoos on our arms
a crucifix on my neck eternal life in the bronx! uh!
we’re never rocking red socks
not when you’re in the born in the borough of twenty seven world championships on the facade
from the grand concourse to the south bronx
give me one last sound off!
cause
[hook – matthew]
im a real renaissance man
run the new york marathon man
i hustle all around the clock like a con man
but im a kind hearted con artist
im like a creating more jobs man
i’m like the street steve jobs man!
that’s why i’m maccin awful hard
cause the apple doesn’t fall far
from the trees in van cortlandt park man
it’s almost smooth second part man!!
im a real renaissance man
run the new york marathon man
i hustle all around the clock like a con man
why i be so kind hearted? im a real con artist!
creating more jobs, im the street steve jobs man!
