[Verse 1: Kendrick Lamar
I'm the only ******* doin' it
You other *******s ruined it
I'm too legit, go Hammer wit' the foolishness
My nana said my grammar can maneuver this industry
Until I'm stupid rich and now I'm stupid rich, ah
(Even if she go away, even if she go away)
Assumin' this is what they humor is
To Pimp a Butterfly my newest *******t
Effective rumor is the way I proven it
[Hook: Jidenna
I'm a classic man
You can be mean when you look this clean, I'm a classic man
Callin' on me like a young O.G, I'm a classic man
Your needs get met by the street, elegant old-fa*******oned man
Yeah, baby, I'm a classic man
[Verse 2: Jidenna
I burn through the hood like, "Whoa"
When everybody's feeling so cold
I cool like Nat King Cole and *******s get a bit of my glow
I got charm like a leprechaun, mummafunker
Now y'all ******* with the wrong mummafunker
Chief be like a don, mummafunker
And we don't live by the law, mummafunker
[Pre-Hook: Jidenna
Even if she go away, even if she go away
Even if she go away, even if she go away

[Verse 2: Kendrick Lamar
(Classic man) That's on my mama though
I got piranha flow, *******' up your designer clothes
(Casket man) Where be your rapper's angle?
Bunch of subliminal *******, I'd rather fingerbang 'em
Oh, ke-mo sah-bee, pray to God nobody try me
Catch a body over nothin', "Top" couldn't even stop me
I got key to my city, I got key to California
I might legalize your homicide and more marijuana
Let my daddy smoke his *******, only thing they keep on Philly
I ain't got no jewelry on me, *******, I got the jewelry in me
Oh, *******t, let me talk my *******t, I always been the *******t
This ain't overnight, they love me now like they loved me then
I know what I like, I eat the ******* for my nourishment
I know how to cherish it
I know how to decorate your wall and further furnish it
I'm a burn your *******t down, this is what the furnace is
I'm a turn your *******t around wit' some friendly services
Ain't no nervousness like I'm ratchet or conservative
And that's affirmative
All I do is lay-up and face up my big bills and paste up
Got no chill for fake ones, like, for real, they say...
[Hook: Jidenna
I'm a classic man
You can be mean when you look this clean, I'm a classic man

[Verse 3: Jidenna
Keep my gloves dirty but my hands clean
Got to keep the business in the family
Breadwinner filling up the pantry
Now my *******s slang 'caine like a dandy
I tell you how it go
You pull out rubber bands, I pull out an envelope
The ladies on my elbow ain't for the show
Every madam on my team is a top general, oh
Got to be ready for war (War)
Should they get into my door? (Door)
Get 'em, we'll get 'em, I know that we'll get 'em
Cause I lived through this *******t before, oh
[Hook: Jidenna

You can be mean when you look this clean, I'm a classic man
Callin' on me like a young O.G, I'm a classic man
