The Artful Dodger
Mick Jenkins

[Hook]

I mean, we all had to fall on our shit before

I know y'all niggas was late on your rent before

Ran into a couple Harvey Dents before

Maybe you niggas breathin' too many chemicals

You think I'm finna go?

Fuckin' with the children of the indigo

Bring the cash in manila envelopes

My niggas in the country tryna interlope

And I can't go for that

[Verse 1]

Hold up, hold up, hold up, hold up

Free ain't what cheap is

Niggas rolling like some cheapskates

I see kids talking work with empty briefcase

We put the beef on the buzz and call it sweepstakes

Then roll a joint like a nigga need a knee brace

Breeze will let you know who got the smoke if you down

When in the middle of the woods

Call Anthony Towns and call Thomas for sounds

While my rain water color paints all over town

Oliver Twist, the artful dodger's all over this

If she with me, then don't call her my bitch

I'm in the VIP, with a big bottled water and I'm sparkin' a piff

Good woods on some carpenter shit

Move the queen like the parliament is

This is a game of chess

Funny thing that got me playin' the rest

Food for thought, I ain't paying the chef

With cleft lips on the bass clef

Singin' with strep, I'm sick with it

Bought the life of the dimwitted

On one knee like Tim with it

And I'm praying for my 'rents

Message gettin' clear as the piss

Now my stress is gettin' swimmin' lessons at the pier with the kids

[Hook]

I mean, we all had to fall on our shit before

I know y'all niggas was late on your rent before

Ran into a couple Harvey Dents before

Maybe you niggas breathin' too many chemicals

You think I'm finna go?

Fuckin' with the children of the indigo

Bring the cash in manila envelopes

My niggas in the country trying too interlope

And I can't go for that

I mean, we all had to fall on our shit before

Know y'all niggas was late on your rent before

Ran into a couple Harvey Dents before

Maybe you niggas breathin' too many chemicals

You think I'm finna go?

Fuckin' with the children of the indigo

Bring the cash in manila envelopes

My niggas in the country tryna interlope

And I can't go for that

[Verse 2]

Cause a storm's comin', nigga, see this overcast

All these niggas talkin money 'bout to overdraft

See Colin Powell's in all your fences, you're defenseless, fam

All my niggas in the cul-de-sac, ready to strike with the hood like a Cobra

Black culture, they'll never get over that

So I'm in this bitch over trash

Runnin' through a nigga Rolodex

Remember nights with the coldest sweats

When we ain't really have shit but some old advice

Told you once, I told you twice

Never was in it for the Oberweiss alone

The skeleton's out the closet, more poltergeist

The poems I write, most nights, more dramatic

Freeze-frame, that's poster light

Poster child, he posted right?

From Chicago, deep off in Pilsen with the vatos

Mercy mercy, me, that Murciélago

That's in my hundred-dollar jacket purchased from Barney's

Ain't hurtin' my pockets, but fuck, what do I know?

I'm really just a southside nigga with a Nas flow

Never been as passive as Rondo, I mean, hey

Condo on my wrist has never really been a goal of mine

Less Goldie, more Dolemite

I look around, like Y'all trollin', right?

It's overkill, we know the type

It's overpriced, the quality probably won't suffice

I don't condone the roll of dice on this one, fam

I mean, we all had to fall on our shit before

Just get up 'fore shit hit the fan
